General question

Using this code

 

function islocked($clanID) {
return (getpenaltypoints($clanID) >= 5);
}

 

imposes a ban to a team if they have 5 points or more. I want the value 5 to be set from admin without having to edit this code. So like a textfield in admin where you can input a value and it updates 5 to that value.

 

Any way round this?

Have you tried to think this process through? The idea is quite simple.

[karimali831]

Yes I did thought about it, why wouldn't I and that's why I'm posting here.

So, where is the problem? Not sure how to write to a file? Not sure how to read from a file? Not sure how forms work with php? What?

[The Eagle]

function islocked($clanID) {
return (getpenaltypoints($clanID) >= 5);
}

 

You can substitute 5 with a variable that can get pulled from a form.

 

 

function islocked($clanID) {
return (getpenaltypoints($clanID) >= $number);
}

 

 

Of course you would need to add a form to an administrator control panel and when you submit it, it'd go to that file so it can write to it (and in that file put a $variable = $_POST['variable'] so it could grab it).

Perfect, just what I needed. Thanks.

Ok.. beginner and I tried but it's wrong

 

function islocked($clanID) {
$ergebnis = safe_query("SELECT cupteamlimit FROM ".PREFIX."settings WHERE cupteamlimit = '$cupteamlimit'");	
while($db = mysql_fetch_array($ergebnis)) {
        $cupteamlimit = $db['cupteamlimit'];

        }
return (getpenaltypoints($clanID) >= $cupteamlimit);
}

 

am I close?

[karimali831]

function islocked($clanID) {
$ergebnis = safe_query("SELECT * FROM ".PREFIX."settings WHERE cupteamlimit");	
while($db = mysql_fetch_array($ergebnis)) {
        $cupteamlimit = $db['cupteamlimit'];

        }
return (getpenaltypoints($clanID) >= $cupteamlimit);
}

 

Ahh fixed

Thanks Eagle.

So if I wanted to do the same with

 

if(mysql_num_rows($sql_member2)==3)

 

is that

 

if(mysql_num_rows($sql_member2)==$number)

or won't it work ?

If you can't narrow your question down to the actual issue at hand don't expect to have it answered in a manner you will be satisfied with.

[karimali831]

I was satisfied with my answer? That's how this topic is now resolved.. to you I didn't explain properly, some people have quicker minds than others. I'm just a beginner.
