Do Moderators have a control panel?

[dbirosel]

One of my moderators, has moderated a little bit on another forum and he said that the moderators in that particular forum have a control panel. He only described to be that they were able to look at IP Addresses and stuff.

Where can i find this moderator control panel?

Thank you,
Dante

Are you the Admin on this site? It is at the bottom of the page beside that Admin CP link. You can access it as well as your acp. It should look like this towards the bottom of your page.
Contact Us - Your Site - Admin - Mod - Archive - Top
I hope this is what you mean :)

i am the admin. but i'm caring for my mods on what options they have. Do the mods have there own control panel?

I created a test account and i can't seem to find the mod control panel

It should be right beside your admin link (logged in as admin) or in that same area without the admin link.
Try http://www.yoursite.com/forums/modcp/index.php (the main part being the /modcp/index.php, depending on what you use for your forum)

Hi dbirosel,

Your question is one asked quiet abit, im abit worried it wasnt answered already, only global moderators see the moderator link, to make ALL moderators see the Moderator Control Panel, do this

In global.php line 432/433

// This generates an extra query for non-admins/supermods on many pages so we have chosen to only display it to supermods & admins
// $show['modcplink'] = iif(can_moderate(), true, false);

change it to this

// This generates an extra query for non-admins/supermods on many pages so we have chosen to only display it to supermods & admins
$show['modcplink'] = iif(can_moderate(), true, false);

- Simply Remove the // from line 433

With my test account, where will i find the moderator control panel??

We are able to access:

http://www.caraudiojunkyard.com/forum/modcp/index.php


But we don't see the link in the footer.

do what i said, and it will work..... there is no other option how to do it without a manual template edit, this is how it would be done if vbulletin allowed it by default......
