[SOLVED] Write on Walls

I really don't know in what section I should ask this , but is there a way to prevent users from writing on one's wall except for their friends? The Wall must however remain visible to all.

Another thing. Late February I asked you this question on FM. Perhaps you remember:

"I dunno if it's worth asking or possible at all, but I was thinking. Remember you helped us with the 'latest topics' stuff yesterday @ friendcodes.nl ? Well, I was wondering if we could add something to the toolbar in the messages and quick reply, something tough but kinda cool. I was thinking of blocking individual messages from preview and guest view using BBCode, using [secret]<message>[/secret] so it will be visible to regular members, but not to guests, even not in preview mode (preview symbol should be dropped) or by clicking message links. The message displayed should be none at all or something like "This message is accessable to members only" or something like that, 'message blocking' style like we have on our site. Do you think it's possible for you to create something like that for us?"

You responded with:

"Yes, it's possible. You can check the _userdata object to get the user login state, you can then proceed to parse the bbcode client-side. There are some small quirks with this method though :

1. Client-side parsing can force resized images to become natural dimensions. ( if using the AP option )
2. For things that use AJAX -- like the preview -- the parsing will need to be done after getting the message. So having it in a recallable function would help with that one."

Could you please have a look into this? You know me and coding, they just won't pair Thanks X

Add the following script in all the pages

Code:

function fa_parse_secret() {
  if (!_userdata.session_logged_in) {
    for (var a = $('.postbody .content'), i = 0, j = a.length; i < j; i++) {
      if (/\[secret\].*?\[\/secret\]/.test(a[i].innerHTML)) {
        a[i].innerHTML = a[i].innerHTML.replace(/\[secret\].*?\[\/secret\]/gi, 'Content Hidden');
      }
    }
  }
};

$(fa_parse_secret);

It'll just give the parsing functionality. Try hiding a few messages using the tags [secret][/secret] to see how it works. ( It wont work for members )

Personally, I think it might not be too good because it's using JavaScript to hide the content once it's already visible. It might be better to use a tag that's already hidden without JS, but visible with JS when conditions are met. But either way, if someone clicks "View Page Source" from the context menu or saves the page they'll still be able to see the content.

Honestly, I wish FA would just allow us to create custom bbcode already. So we can write tags that are parsed server-side.

I've read it quickly, Seth. And tbh it's all Chinese to me, as usual, but once the final script is in place I'm able to read it all back (which is rather strange, I mean, I can read JS, but I cannot create anything!).

I'll try after I get home from another check-up & (pre)med @ the hospital (yk). Not sure how I feel after so don't mind me responding to this tomorrow, k? ty anyway! X

PS: the Wall... you got an answer to that?

Got to go fast now!

Don't worry about it, there's no rush.

Oops yeah, I forgot about that. xD If I'm not mistaken I believe there's an option in the Profile Settings. Go to preferences and edit the option "Allow visitor messages on my profile"

Take care

Do you mean this:  Profile > Perferences
Allow visitor messages on my profile :   All Friends

Oh lol that. I never noticed before. So it's a per user setting eh? Hmm... great! TY!

& Seth, I'm gonna try the script tomorrow if you don't mind. I'm too tired to concentrate atm, I'm afraid.
