"Rate Listings" Appearing when Logged-Out in Categories where it is Disabled

[NashChristian]

I just noticed that in categories where "Rate Listings" is NOT allowed, WHEN you are LOGGED-OUT, it offers you the opportunity to rate the listing, but then tells you that you don't have permission when you try.

Wierd!

Again, I'm still running the RC1 version of this. Has this been fixed?

Here's an example. The "Greater Nashville Area Churches" is not supposed to allow ratings by anyone.

Thanks Brian!

Thank you for pointing this out. That has not been corrected in 4.0.0, but it will be in the next release. If you would like to apply the fix sooner, you may do so by looking in your forum/includes/vba_links_functions_cats.php file for this code:

PHP Code:

$link['linkurl_string'] = ($vba_options['links_strip_http']) ? strip_url($link['linkurl']) : $link['linkurl']; 


Add this just Below:

PHP Code:

    // Rating
    $show['ratelinkmenu'] = false;
    if ($vba_options['links_allowrating'] AND !$show['inlinemod'] AND links_cat_opt('allow_ratings'))
    {
        $show['ratelinkmenu'] = true;
    } 


Then look in your 'adv_links_linkbit' template for this code:

<vb:if condition="$vba_options['links_allowrating'] AND !$show['inlinemod']">

And replace with this:

<vb:if condition="$show['ratelinkmenu']">

is this included in the latest download version for members?

No, this fix will be included in the next release (4.0.1 or 4.1.0, depending).
