Hello,

Can someone make a simple vB2 hack that allows moderators to add or edit the forums and categories?

Just move your admin/forum.php to mod/forum.php

Then, open up mod/index.php and findmakenavselect("Thread Control","<hr>");
Replace it with makenavselect("Thread Control");
// *************************************************
makenavoption("Add","forum.php?action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","forum.php?action=modify");
makenavselect("Forums & Moderators","<hr />");

Anyway to make it work for just super mods?

Try


if(!$bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==5) {
makenavoption("Add","forum.php?action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","forum.php?action=modify");
makenavselect("Forums & Moderators","<hr />");
}


I can't remember if thats the correct usergroupid for Super Moderators though

It will only work for smods.

Only smods can view mod cp, IIRC.

Nah, Mods can too

Ah ok, I tested it, yep mods can too. Just have to be a moderator of a forum instead of just being in moderator usergroup. By the way, your mod won't work because the user can still type in the URL then.

Open mod/forum.php and findrequire("./global.php");
Below, addif ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==7)
{
exit();
}

That's true, and thanks for fixing it for me (Although I doubt many mods will know the URL for 'em)

[Gary King]

Still, for safety.

we just want it so it blocks the mod from adding/editing forums but can still use the other functions

Does this hack only allow mods to edit the forums that they MOD? Or can they edit ANY forums. What can i add if anything to just allow them to EDIT the forums that they Moderate? I dont want some Mods messing around with forums they have no business in editing.

I was just looking for this exact same hack. Thanks for creating it. Very simple, yet affective.

[BlackxRam]

Can this hack be changed so only the MOD is given access to certain forums or categories to add in?

[Cyricx]

There is a "Lesser Admin CP" Hack that does this awesomely.

You can totally control what parts of the cp they can or cannot use.

It adds a radio button to usergroups that lets you set which groups can and cannot access the "lesser admin cp"

[BlackxRam]

yes but can i pick and choose which forums they can or cant edit?

[BlackxRam]

Looking to only allow them to access forums they have control over. Anyone?

[BlackxRam]

Anyone possibly create a update for this hack? One to work on Vb3 perhaps that limits certain forums to certain mods? Gotta be someone. lol

I am planning to release an updated version of my "Lesser Admin CP" hack for vB3 over the next couple of weeks - PM me with suggestions that I can include for the "Lesser Admins/Mods/whateveryouwanttocallthem:p"
