Code modification help needed

peeta

I bought a PHP script for running a dating site but it has several bugs and the designers are trying to get me to pay to fix them so I am attempting to do it my self. I was successful to a point but now I am stuck and I lack the knowledge to find the solution.

The problems:
Non paying members are able to access their mailbox on my server and read and reply to messages sent by paying members.

I need it block the mailbox to non payers and return an error directing them to the subscription page.

I can't add fields to the registration form and make it display in the member's profile view. It came with a tool in the admin panel which is supposed to do this but when applied, nothing happens and the designer says it was intentional and I have to pay them to add fields.

I need to add new fields and have one (INTERESTS) displayed horizontally with comma separations. It currently runs vertically and makes the page stretch ridiculously long if all the choices are used.

It has a feature to allow the member to hide their photos and apply a password. When used it allows the first photo uploaded to be displayed and all the others requiring the password. They say it is supposed to block all and display an image called private_photo.gif but that does not happen. Also if the user removes all their photos or remove the password, it still displays the password field on their profile page indicating that a password is required.

I need it to do the opposite of all that.

These are not additional features I'm seeking. They are truly bugs which I need fixed and anyone's assistance would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is guidance only.

The entire file package can be downloaded from WD1.zip I will supply my server and admin panel access when someone contacts me.

I have been testing my feeble attempt at code repairs at a test site at http://www.mellique.com/date

Many thanks for the assistance.

Desperately seeking help 😕

Is this challenge too much? Just help me get the code correct to stop non paying members from accessing their mailbox and I'll keep sorting out the rest.

The following code is what is executed when a user tries to send mail. It works excellent to block a non payer yet allow a paying user. It is a single file on the server.

<?
		 $f_profile = f(q("SELECT name, email, member_id FROM dt_profile WHERE id='$profile_id'"));
		 $f_user = f(q("SELECT system_status, system_status_end FROM dt_members WHERE id='$f_profile[member_id]'"));
         $f_balance = f(q("SELECT balance FROM dt_stamps_balance WHERE member_id='$fMember[id]'"));

	 if($f_profile == "" || $f_user == "")
	 {
			return;
	 }
     $free_profile = 0;
     $can_contact = 0;
     $valid = 0;

     if($fMember[ unlimited ] && $fMember[ unlimited_end ] > strtotime(date("d M Y H:i:s")))
     {
        $free_profile = 1;
        $can_contact = 0;
     }
     else
     {
        if($f_user[ system_status ] && ($f_user[ system_status_end ] > strtotime(date("d M Y H:i:s")))) $free_profile = 1;
        if($f_balance[ balance ] >= 1) $can_contact = 1;
     }



	 if(!$free_profile && !$can_contact)
	 {
			include "templates/cannot_contact.ihtml";
			return;
	 }

	 $profile_name = $f_profile[ name ];
	 $profile_email = $f_profile[ email ];
	 $f_address_book = f(q("SELECT id FROM dt_address_book WHERE contact_profile_id='$profile_id' AND member_id='$fMember[id]'"));

	 if($f_address_book != "")
	 {
			$free_profile = 1;
	 }
	 else
	 {
			$sql = "INSERT INTO dt_address_book	(member_id, contact_profile_id) VALUES ('$fMember[id]', '$profile_id')";
			q($sql);
	 }
     $mid = $profile_id;
	 if($free_profile)
	 {
            $valid = 1;
            include "engine/pages/send_message.pml";
			return;
	 }

	if($can_contact)
	{
         q("UPDATE dt_stamps_balance SET balance=balance-1 WHERE member_id='$fMember[id]'");

         $valid = 1;
         include "engine/pages/send_message.pml";
		 return;
	}
?>

These next lines of code are what executes when any user clicks on their mailbox link. Can I include any part of the above code in this one to make it do the same as above? This is also a single file on the server.

<?
        $r_records = q("SELECT id, rid, sid, subject, timesent, is_read FROM dt_messages WHERE (rid='$fMember[id]' and is_deleted = 0) ORDER BY timesent DESC");
        $total_messages = (int)nr($r_records);
        include "templates/inbox.ihtml";

?>
