Moderators Listed under forum description

[MysticMoon]

I finally upgraded to version 3.5.x and my 1 template mod does work on this version :)

*original posting (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=89854) with updated version:
This is for & tested on v3.0.3, 3.0.7 upgrade version & 3.5.4

I wanted this & found posts of others wanting it
but didn't find it @ any of the main sites.

What this does is make it so the moderators show up
under the forum description like in Invision forums

Screenshot & zip with html direction file attached :)

** Updated to mod ver. 2 April 2006

Thanks to trackpads (Jason) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=40385) for the extra help & info

changes in ver 2
2 additional templates need to be modified
1 template has a 2nd deletion needed to be done

Both of those codes are 100% the same so not sure what your asking??

As far as messing up your columns, I'm sorry but I use the theme/skin that came with vB & edit to my color/image needs & it doesn't mess up anything on mine nor anyone else who's used it.

Next time please do not PM me to direct me to your post, I have a life outside of the computer & vB. I will read your post & reply to it when I get to it. Plus I do not offer support for this since it is such a simple template edit.

[MysticMoon]

Thanks to those who commented & clicked installed :D

[trackpads]

Mystiz, it is working fine except for a few places that you missed in the directions. All of the level1 and level2 noposts also have to be edited and there is one more edit in the forumdiplay. I just searched for anything with the word 'mod' in it to make the column completely dissappear.

Also, there is a mistake in your directions-

1st edit says:

In forumhome_forumdisplay_level1_post & forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
find:

Should read:

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_post & forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
find:

This is a great idea and even with the extra edits it was worth it, the forumhome and forumdisplay is much cleaner!

Thanks!

[MysticMoon]

Jason, thank you for your input.
This was my first ever (& only) attempt & not suprised I missed any steps.

I've fixed my error & included the nopost ones, but, in forumndisplay there's 3 other spots showing up & I'm not sure which one to remove. Can you let me know which one for a fact? TIA

[trackpads]

These are the ones I removed:

<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>

And

<if condition="$show['moderators']">
<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[moderators]</td>
</if>

I think those are the only 2 in that file. The rest are all for the Active users mod box and the inlinemod shtuff.

[MysticMoon]

Thanks Jason, I've updated the mod version to include the changes you mentioned & updated post with new version & info :D

i did the excatly as the install stated,i removed all the mod column bits, n its still there, theres something wrong :S not much support if you dont provide it? You can't expect every one to use the SAME skin.

[dcarr]

Smiry Kin's:
Check the above posts. MysticMoon has updated the zip with corrected information.
As for skins...using the default vb skin, is usually how most coders create their hacks. Skinners modify the default based on their needs, so often the hacks provide have to be tweaked for some skins that make a lot of changes to the default. The coder can't really offer support for each and every skin, especially if he's not using a particular one. As difficult as it may sound, sometimes doing a "search in templates" for a line of code can help you locate where the skinner made changes that might affect the hack you want to use. Yes it can be time consuming, but we, the users, have to accept that if we choose to use something other than the default.

I would also suggest not touching anything related to templates unless you are familar at a minimum with HTML and the VB Templates. Make a second skin on your site and test your changes there.

A lot of this is on you, as a webmaster, learn like the rest of us and always back up before making changes or you will learn the hard way.

[rareclownfish]

Is this stable to install on 3.5.4?

[MysticMoon]

It's just template edits so it's always stable
& yes it works on 3.5.4 as the version part & my original post states ;)

[rareclownfish]

Looks great so far. installed.

[TheProphet]

Nice Idea m8, will test it...

/installed

ermm is there away to make it not show on forums with no moderators?

[MysticMoon]

That I do not know, since all my forums have atleast 1 mod, that was my only goal.

[username12]

ermm is there away to make it not show on forums with no moderators?

I'd be interested in that as well, though I suppose I could just make myself mod of all the forums.

[MysticMoon]

I always put myself as mod of all sections, then add my regular mods there too.
So that's why all mine do have a mod.

I suspose a condition could be done, I can't promise anything,
but, I'll look into it more over the next week or so.

[JsnakeJ]

Someone else did make a mod just like this but its much more complicated. I will use this one for now on. Thank you for your work. :)

[patrickstar]

is this mod still available? for some reason when i click to install it and click open. its says this file is invalid or corrupted.

[patrickstar]

ok nevermind, im installing it now. thanks.

[patrickstar]

can the word moderated be given a color to standout slightly?

[Konstantinos]

Can someone make this as a product ?

[yeshoward]

Hello

is this mod working for version 3.6.5?

[MysticMoon]

I would think so since it's just template edits.
I haven't upgraded yet so I can't say 100%.

You can add it then if it doesn't work (please let me know)
then just reverse the steps to uninstall it.

[MPDesignZ]

Hello

is this mod working for version 3.6.5?

I tried it on 3.6.2 and it did not work. :( Maybe there are more moderator columns to eliminate or something. I'm not sure.


MP

[MysticMoon]

Thanks MP,

As soon as I have the $ to buy another year of updates
I'll be able to see what is missing & update this to work with 3.6.x

Until then, I'm sorry there's just no way for me to.

[A|3]

i've arranged it to work with 3.6
if you want i'll post it

[MysticMoon]

Thanks ~ yes if you have the solution to make
it work with 3.6 feel free to post here it :)

[A|3]

here it is :)

[MPDesignZ]

Great! Thanks

MP

i've just found another piece of template code to delete in FORUMDISPLAY , i'll post it in here:


<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>

[yeshoward]

Hello

I use this template too, but I find moderator of father forum will automatically become his child forum's moderators...and his name just right after EVERY moderators of child forums...

Can we at least not showing father moderator there?

[SBlueman]

I am having a problem with this mod, check out my screenshot:

http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/5474/listingwk6.png

These are the issues I have:


There is a space before the comma when there is more than one moderator
The names of any more than two moderators wrap to the next line but end up undet the forum icon. I'd like it to end up under the first name.


Is there any way to fix this? Thank you in advance.

[Rajdeep]

I Wont This To Be Displayed In Forums Where Moderators Are There.but This "moderated By" Is Shown Where There Are No Moderators Also.

[Rajdeep]

i dont want the moderated by message, in sections where there is no moderator...
PLease help me thanks

[Rajdeep]

Please some one reply..

[Bob_R]

Please some one reply..

It's almost two years later and no reply. So, I'll assume this one doesn't work.

I wish I could find a "moderators listed under forum description" that works/is valid.
