Is this possible?

[midnightz]

Hi all,

I would like to know if it is possible to have catagory moderators, be able to mod the forums in a catagory, but not show up in every forum as a moderator.

I guess I want catagory supermods :)

As you can see from the image below - jaimejim shows up in each forum, he is the one I made the catagory mod. How can I make it where he has his mod powers, but wont show up in the mod list.

I want them only to be listed on the forum leaders page.

Thank you -

midnightz

What you have right now is a template modification. Just remove the moderators part in its corresponding template; search for Moderated by in your templates.

Hi, I know that, I want to keep that, but not have the catagory mod show up?

Thats what I need help with

Ah I understand now.

You could modify this query so that it won't SELECT the userids that you specify. This is the original:$forummoderators=$DB_site->query('SELECT user.userid,user.username,moderator.forumid
FROM moderator
LEFT JOIN user
ON (moderator.userid=user.userid)
ORDER BY user.username');

Modified$forummoderators=$DB_site->query('SELECT user.userid,user.username,moderator.forumid
FROM moderator
LEFT JOIN user
ON (moderator.userid=user.userid)
WHERE user.userid != 1
ORDER BY user.username');

The modified version won't show moderators who have the userid of 1; it's simple yet effective, but a big problem with this is if you have a user(s) that is and isn't a category moderators.

What exactly do you want to do?

Well when I add mods, the their usernames should show up under "Moderators" but there's nothing and I would like to know how to add the names.

This made absolutely no sense :rolleyes:
But, you can check out some of my hacks for showgroups.php; you can add and remove moderators from that page, and also add and remove users as well.

for adding them to the showgroups ( forumleaders ) theres an option for that when editing usergroups...

I know. It should be set to "yes" for "Show Groups" but it still doesn't display the names in "Forum Leaders"

[midnightz]

I think you have a hack or an error in your file you can make any group appear in the forum leaders. try getting rid of the group and doing it from scratch
