XF 2.2 How to restrict a member from PM'ing all the staff?

[donwon]

We have a member sending private messages to all the staff in one big group. How can I restrict that?

Thanks.

Set the permission, “Maximum conversation recipients” to a lower amount for that user should work.

 

[donwon]

I don't think that works because it is set to only one now. I think because they are mods it is allowing them to.

 

[Ozzy47]

Hmm, it would probably require custom development then.

 

[donwon]

I think I found where I missed a setting.

 

[Ozzy47]

Where was that?

 

[donwon]

No still not respecting the permissions.

 

[donwon]

Still allowing multiple participants.

 

[Ozzy47]

Analyze permissions on the user. I set mine to one recipient and I can not add more than one user.

 

[donwon]

Set to 2 and it's still not respecting the permissions.

 

[Ozzy47]

Click on details

 

[donwon]

Ok

 

[donwon]

It just shows that little number 2.

 

[Ozzy47]

Then I think you may gave an addon conflicting. Disable all addons then try.

 

[donwon]

Ok thanks I'll try that!

Right now:

• All add-ons are disabled
• $config['enableListeners'] = false;
  $config['enableTemplateModificationCallbacks'] = false; added to config.php
• Only in registered usergroup allowing 1 maximum conversation recipient as shown below:

Default style, no add-ons, still letting for multiple users in the convo.


It definitely lets me start it too:





Not entirely sure what to look for next...

Russ, are you able to replicate what he is experiencing on your own site?

Russ, are you able to replicate what he is experiencing on your own site?

Negative. Unique to this site as far as I can tell. Just at a loss on what is letting users not have a limit.

Is the "maximum conversation recipient" defined in the database somewhere that I'd be able to check and make sure the value is correct there?

What is this permission set to - Always invite participants to conversations?

 

[Ozzy47]

Look in the table, xf_permission_entry for maxReciepents
