Request: Authority List

[N9ne]

This hasn't been requested yet :D

Ok I know that you can go to "forum leaders" to see them, but you know like in UBB there is an authority list hack, which adds a table at the bottom of the forums listing Admins:, MegaModerators:, Moderators:

So this is my request :) if anyone can do this I will be very grateful!

Here's a screenshot to show you what I mean...

[Logician]

^ he knows what he's talking about!

Oh and can people who are good with PHP help me? :(

The thread is here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48750

I personally prefer NOT to release hacks I shared in requests forum because:
a) they are usually small
b) I dont use them myself
c) I dont test/debug them long
d) I dont find them appealing to many people but to requester only
e) it's hard to give support for them since you dont use it.

if you want it to be released, I'll regard the hack "appealing" and will release but frankly I still have doubts about this one. Are sure it's worth releasing?

[Chris M]

I think it is...

[N9ne]

I use it, hellsatan uses it, squawell uses it :D

[Chris M]

[Logician]

ok will release give me sometime.. :) (and your question is answered in that thread, why didnt you asked here? lol)

[Chris M]

Great!

Satan

[N9ne]

YAY :) This hack will win HotM lol

[Logician]

joking right? I bet it will not even get 10 installs in a month ;)

[Logician]

BTW may I answer your question here instead of vbulletin.com?

I didnt post there for months and I realized that vb.com really sucks after getting used to here lol. I appreciated the vb hacks once again after I saw an unhacked site :glasses:

Anyway your answer is, you need to edit the hack code to add these lines. Check the code you'll see where to edit.

As for table design give me sometime, I'll tell you..

[Smoothie]

Nice one Logician! A definite must install.

Add this code BEFORE:

// Post the relevant template if any anniversaries exist:

if ($siteadmins) {$siteadmins=substr($siteadmins,0,strlen($siteadmi ns)-2);}
if ($supermoderators) {$supermoderators=substr($supermoderators,0,strlen ($supermoderators)-2);}
if ($boardmoderators) {$boardmoderators=substr($boardmoderators,0,strlen ($boardmoderators)-2);}

and add , after </a> like:

if ($otorite[usergroupid]==6) {$siteadmins.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a>, ';}

if ($otorite[usergroupid]==5) {$supermoderators.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a>, ';}

if ($otorite[usergroupid]==7) {$boardmoderators.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a>, ';}

To seperate the table, you need to change the template so that it's a html table and then put the variable $authority_list outside the existing template in template forumhome/forumhome


In the first step, I cannot find: // Post the relevant template if any anniversaries exist

in index.php...

[Logician]

they must be inserted before eval("\$authority_list = \"".gettemplate('authority_list')."\";");

[N9ne]

Ok it works, thanks :)

Onto separating it from the rest...I don't know much about tables, what's the code I put in the authority_list template, and the forumhome template?

[Logician]

a) Replace template authority_list like this:

<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="1" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr id="cat">

<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="6<normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><normalfont><b>Authority List </b>: $totalmoderators Authorites in total</normalfont><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="6"><smallfont><b><u>Site Admins</b></u>: $siteadmins<br><b><u>Super Moderators:</b></u>: $supermoderators<br><b><u>Board Moderators</b></u>: $boardmoderators</smallfont></td>
</tr></table>

b) forumhome/forumhome template find :


$birthdaybits
</table>
</td></tr></table>

(That's the original text before we changed)

And after that add:

<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
$authority_list</td></tr></table>

I guess it's what you want.

[Logician]

ok released upon request: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40143

Enjoy..

[N9ne]

Thanks :)

But the part where you separate it from the rest of the forums is a lot simpler, I figured it out myself because the one you gave didn't work...

in forumhome template, find $authority_list and add before it...

</table>
</td></tr></table><br>
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">

Cool!
