/forcenick command not working

by **Hationyx** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 4:09 pm

Hi I'm new here, and I didn't really want to necro with my first post, so this concerns the /forcenick command from the contributions board http://www.phpfreechat.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3914

I think that it's a wonderful command that would be useful, if not completely necessary for administrator humour. After adding it in, and rehashing, my first attempt was met with the response "can't change an admin nick" on somebody who wasn't an admin. on my second try on a different user, i met the same response, despite the fact that they were not an admin.

I'm wondering if perhaps I'm doing something glaringly incorrect, or if the command doesn't work with the newer version?

Could we see your index.php?

Well, your index looks sound. It's possible 1.3 broke it, but it was working with 1.2, and the changes between the two were actually fairly minor. Try posting on that thread and see if the original author has upgraded to 1.3 (sometimes they subscribe to their threads so they know when someone posts on them).

After installing a serperate version of 1.2 and getting the same result, it turns out i'm just an idiot.
I've been typing old_ and new_ with the chat command, which causes the response "cannot change an admin"
It works when I don't type those prefixes.

So yeah, nevermind. Gosh I'm an idiot. But thanks for your help |D

No problem at all, we all make mistakes, that doesn't make you an idiot.
