The \"Forcenick\" command for the admin to force a nick chan

[skchandon]

I am running a small chatroom based on PFC ( and let me tell you its the best )
And sometimes there are a few people who would go on being highly inventive and take bad/improper nick.
so I wrote this small command that the admin can use to force a nick name change.
The command goes like this: /forcenick old_badnick new_freshnick
Hope it helps and feel free to tailor it to your needs.

Code: Select all

<?php
//FileName: forcenick.class.php
//- - - - - - - - - - - - -
//Desc: Changes the nick of an user. Can be used by an Admin only.

require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/../pfccommand.class.php");


class pfcCommand_forcenick extends pfcCommand
{
  var $usage = "/forcenick {old_nickname} {new_nickname}";
 
  function run(&$xml_reponse, $p)
  {
     $clientid    = $p["clientid"];
    $param       = $p["param"];
    $params      = $p["params"];
    $sender      = $p["sender"];
    $recipient   = $p["recipient"];
    $recipientid = $p["recipientid"];
   
    $c =& pfcGlobalConfig::Instance();
    $u =& pfcUserConfig::Instance();
    $ct =& pfcContainer::Instance();

    $oldnick   = isset($params[0]) ? $params[0] : '';
    $newnick = isset($params[1]) ? $params[1] : '';
    $admin_nick = $ct->getNickname($u->nickid);
   
    $isadmin = $ct->getUserMeta($u->nickid, 'isadmin');
    if (!$isadmin)
    {
      $cmdp = $p;
      $cmdp["param"] = _pfc("Must be an Admin");
     
      $cmd =& pfcCommand::Factory("error");
      $cmd->run($xml_reponse, $cmdp);
      return;
    }
    $oldnickid = $ct->getNickId($oldnick);
   
    $targetisadmin = $ct->getUserMeta($oldnickid, 'isadmin');
   
    if($targetisadmin)
    {
      //cannot kick and admin -- error
      $cmdp = $p;
      $cmdp["param"] = _pfc("Cannot change an ADMIN");
      $cmdp["param"] .= " (Whats going on!! Why Are you trying to CHANGE an ADMIN NICK??!!)";
      $cmd =& pfcCommand::Factory("error");
      $cmd->run($xml_reponse, $cmdp);
      return;
    }
   
    if ($newnick == '' || $oldnick== '')
    {
      // error
      $cmdp = $p;
      $cmdp["param"] = _pfc("Missing parameter");
      $cmdp["param"] .= " (".$this->usage.")";
      $cmd =& pfcCommand::Factory("error");
      $cmd->run($xml_reponse, $cmdp);
      return;
    }
   
   $cmdstr = 'nick';
   $cmdp = array();
   $cmdp['params'][] = $newnick;
   $cmdp['param'] = $newnick;
   $cmdp['forced']=$admin_nick;
   
   //$cmdp['params'][] = ''; // blank password
   
   
    pfcCommand::AppendCmdToPlay($oldnickid, $cmdstr, $cmdp);
   
   
  }
}

Thank you for your contribution.

[skchandon]

You are welcome
I hope it becomes a useful command

[hazefm]

just tried it out.. there is a problem.. when you /forcenick user newnick the new nick becomes array..

it just says array.. as the user name, no matter what you type in the command.. any idea on how to fix it?

[skchandon]

Well, it is working for me as it is..in any case.. the only problem i can think of..

( bear in mind, I am not sure if the solution below would work, but I just have a hunch ...)

In the code above, where it says:

Code: Select all

    $cmdstr = 'nick';
    $cmdp = array();
    $cmdp['params'][] = $newnick;
    $cmdp['param'][] = $newnick;
    $cmdp['forced']=$admin_nick;

change the line:
$cmdp['param'][] = $newnick;
to
$cmdp['param'] = $newnick;

so the Modified Code would look like the following:

Code: Select all

    $cmdstr = 'nick';
    $cmdp = array();
    $cmdp['params'][] = $newnick;
    $cmdp['param'] = $newnick;
    $cmdp['forced']=$admin_nick;

Please let me know if it works or not
Thanks

yes sir!.. that fixes the problem... I'm using the newest versions of this script package, so that might have been the reason it was not working...

thanks alot!!

You are most welcome
Note to other readers: I have also incorporated the change in my original post. So you can just copy/paste the first post and you won't have to make any such changes as discussed in the last few replies.
Thanks

Hi i just want to add that this works ok for version 1.2 of pfc , and to clarify that this file forcenick.class.php must go in the folder /src/commands and that it wont work if you have the
$params["frozen_nick"] = true; enabled, so you need to disable this in order to work , hope it helps..

[skchandon]

@re*s.t.a.r.s.*2: Thank you very much for clarifying that and also for posting your findings. I was not even aware of $params["frozen_nick"] had such effect on this command.

Edit- nevermind i'm just stupid.

It worked fine with version 1.3 also.
