New Thread For Mods Only

[Rampag33]

I'm going to try to explain this as best as I can. I haven't seen a hacc that can do this yet so if there is one I haven't found it yet.

vbulletin has forums mods (specific forum) and site mods (usergroup).
I need a hacc to where only the forum mod is allow to make new threads.

- General Chat
--- Tech Help (mods: Techbot, Helper)
--- Quizes (mods:Q-Master)

Q-Master is the only one allowed to make threads in the Quizes forum.
Techbot and Helper are allowed to make new threads in Tech Help forum.

I hope I explained it well enough.

this is just setting premissions, granted you have turned access masks on, you can set the permissions to make it so only the moderator can post new threads but members posts replies but not new threads

See that's the thing I don't want to do this using permision groups or access mask. I plan on doing this for many forums. and I don't want to have to make a usergroup for each person.

well thats all this hack would do

why would you need one for each person?
you just said you wanted to do this only for moderators?

so id trust your mods wouldnt be evil assholes and go doing things you told them not to

actually i think you could do this using a query

select the current forum id, select from that the moderator then run a conditional on that to display the thread if the moderator id was their own.

I figured out how to do it.

[sabret00the]

how'd you do it?
