THANK YOU Kirby!!

Downloaded and going to test now...

[Christine]

Loaded flawlessly and is working like a champ. No messy error messages -- the permissions are controlling what options they even see.

Have I told you lately that I love you? :p

[Andreas]

the permissions are controlling what options they even see.
Yes. They work (at least they should) exactly the same way as they do for normal Moderators.

Have I told you lately that I love you? :p
* Andreas feeling ashamed now :)

[Chris M]

I've been saying that we need a feature like this since the first Beta of vB 3.0 - Hope this makes it into 3.5 as an actual feature :D

I got an error but I suspect it has more to do with MY MySQL version or my phpmyadmin and not the modification itself. I'm using (only because I have no choice), MySQL version is 4.0.24 and phpmyadmin is 2.6.2-rc1. Liz

[Andreas]

This has nothing to do with your mySQL Version (it even works with mySQL 3.23), you just did not install it correctly.
Carefully (!) check the installation instructions again, especially Step 1.

[southernlady]

Kirby, I've NEVER run a query before...HELP???? Please. Liz

[Andreas]

ACP / Maintenance / Execute SQL Query or phpMyAdmin

[southernlady]

I'm in phpmyadmin cause that's where I have to run it but I don't know how. I've never done it before. And my host isn't online yet.

Thank you for the link.. Liz

[Marco van Herwaarden]

If you are logged into phpMyAdmin and have selected a database, you will see a tab-page called 'SQL'.

On this page you can enter SQL-Commands as instructed.

[southernlady]

Apparently I wasn't allowed to run it...my host had to...it works now. Thank you for trying to teach me how tho. I did try to run it. Liz

[jluerken]

Why is this not standard in vb3.5? :tired:

Thanks to the author

[Biker_GA]

Kirby, if I ever get back over there, beer is on me. This is something I've needed for a VERY long time.

[Boofo]

Works great except that I have 2 options that are the same. Can edit Posts.


Can Moderate All Forums (is Super Moderator)
Can Access Control Panel (is Administrator)
--> Can Edit Posts
Can Delete Posts
Can Open / Close Threads
Can Edit Threads
Can Manage Threads
Can Post Announcements
Can Moderate Posts
Can Moderate Attachments
--> Can Edit Posts
Can Mass-Move Threads
Can View IP Addresses


Any idea why this might be happening, sir? ;)

EDIT: It turns out I have that same thing going on in the Admin usergroup settings also. Is this supposed to be this way?

[Andreas]

Wrong Phrase, fixed.
To upgrade overwrite bitfield_smodperms.xml and rebuild bitfield cache.

[Boofo]

I was just coming back to tell you I found the problem. And it was the phrase. LOL

Great work, sir. ;)

[Boofo]

Should the Administrator Permissions be showing up in all of the Usergroup settings? It shows up in the Admin, SuperMod, Moderators and Regsitered users. Those are the ones I have checked so far.

[Andreas]

It does show up in every Usergroup. Although there is an option to hide Permissions from certain Usergroups (in this case it should be hidden from all except Supermods), it does not seem to work on my System at least.

Furthermore, as any Usergroup could be a Supermod Usergroup, I think it somehow does make sense to show it in all Groups.

[Boofo]

Ok, I just wanted to make sure is all. The only group it doesn't show up in is the Unregistered/Not Logged In group. It shows for Coppa, users awaiting email and the banned usergroup, too. Just thought you should know. ;)

[Boofo]

Kirby, you need to clear some PM space. My PM didn't go out to you. ;)

[Christine]

He is saving all of my PMs for posterity. *drama*

Heh.

[Boofo]

Ahhhhh, so YOU'RE the one. ;)

[mOdEtWo]

This plugin isn't updated for RC1. Does that have anything to say?

[Andreas]

This is not a Plugin but a Code Edit and should still work.

[john_robot]

Permissions of Supermods just as you can with normal Moderators. , Hi just noticed that this can restrict not only Supermods any user group. I am doing something wrong there ?? or its normal?

[Andreas]

The Permissions will show up for every Usergroup, yes.
However, they will only have an effect in Supermod Usergroups.

[Andreas]

Updated for RC3 - no more File Edits for this Hack :)

[Boofo]

Does it still show up in all the usergroup settings?

[Andreas]

Yes it does. But I think I could hide it so it will only show in Supermod Usergroups ... if that is necessary.

[Boofo]

Yes it does. But I think I could hide it so it will only show in Supermod Usergroups ... if that is necessary.

Please, would you, sir? ;)

[john_robot]

I have your MOD installed when I had RC2. But recently ( I think after I upgraded to RC3) Its showing the Deleted by user notes. How to disable this?

the discussion about this you can find here

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=771687#post771687

[Andreas]

I don't think this could be caused by my Hack as Show Deletion Notes is a Usergroup Permission and not a Moderator Permission, but you can easily check this by disabling the Hack.

[john_robot]

Hi how to desable the hack ?

[Andreas]

ACP / Plugin System / Manage Products / Disable - if you are using the RC3 Version.
For the previous Version you must undo the File Edits too.

[john_robot]

HI , I cannot find your package there.. ( But I installed it after the upgrade i think it has been despaired and changed few settings?) So now I have installed it again. ( haven’t been able to uninstall the OLD version)

will you be able to check my admin panel pls?

[john_robot]

Sorry to trouble you

It's a bug in 3.5 RC3.

See http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs...view&bugid=1272

[Boofo]

You're link in that post is bad. It doesn't work.

[Andreas]

<a href="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs35.php?do=view&bugid=1272" target="_blank">http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...iew&bugid=1272</a>

[Boofo]

Kirby, did you ever get this so it doesn't show up for any usergroups but Super Mods?

[Andreas]

Not yet. I thought I should maybe make it so like Administrator Permissions, eg. it's not shown at all in Usergroup Manager?

[Boofo]

That sounds like a good idea to me. Go for it! ;)

[john_robot]

current method is also fine , because its more customizable with other user groups.

[Andreas]

???
The Permissions only apply when the Group has Supermod Permissions.

[john_robot]

oh then why you keep it for other groups just remove it, :) I thought the other way :rolleyes:

[FleaBag]

Thanks for the product Kirby, I'm loving 3.5 more and more all the time. :)

[Boofo]

Not yet. I thought I should maybe make it so like Administrator Permissions, eg. it's not shown at all in Usergroup Manager?

Is this gonna happen? ;)

[Andreas]

Maybe ... when I am bored ;)

[Andreas]

OK, I decided to keep this in Usergroup Manager - makes it a lot easier :)

But I gave the Permissions their own Group and made it so they are hidden from Non-Supermod Usergroups.

Is that OK now?

[Boofo]

Thank you very much, now it is perfect! ;)

[Boofo]

The can_moderate_supermod hook is almost in the right spot, huh? ;)

[Andreas]

???
Don't understand what you want to tell me ...

[Boofo]

???
Don't understand what you want to tell me ...

Sorry, I need to learn to read a little better. ;)

3) !!! This Edit is only necessary for vBulletin 3.5 Beta 1 - RC2; RC3 and up does not require any File Edits !!!

[Andreas]

Maybe ;)

This Hack is File-Edit free for RC3+

[Boofo]

Then maybe you should move it to the plug-in area? ;)

[Andreas]

Nope, it requires a Bitfield XML => additional File => Extension.
And that's where it is already :)

[Boofo]

Forgot about that. ;)

The permissions still show up in the Admin usergroup. That is how it is supposed to be, right?

[Andreas]

If the Admin-Usergroup has Supermod=Yes, then it should show up - otherwise not.

[Boofo]

If the Admin-Usergroup has Supermod=Yes, then it should show up - otherwise not.

Ok, now I see what you meant. But you would want that set to yes, right? Or are Admins allowed to moderate forums even though it is set to no? That setting has always confused me, I guess. ;)

[Andreas]

Don't understand what could be confusing regarding this settng, but

Pre RC3: Admins had all moderator permissions
RC3+: Admins don't have moderator permissions if they are not supermods as well

[Boofo]

Don't understand what could be confusing regarding this settng, but

Pre RC3: Admins had all moderator permissions
RC3+: Admins don't have moderator permissions if they are not supermods as well

I guess I didn't realize they changed it in RC 3. But SuperAdmins are not affected by this right? If that is the case, then it is better this way. ;)

[Andreas]

A Superadmin is still an Admin, isn't he?

[Boofo]

A Superadmin is still an Admin, isn't he?

Then that's where we need the chnage. SuperAdmins should be able to mod all areas no matter what. If they turn it off for other Admins, then they are out.

[Andreas]

Well, that's standard behaviour and does have nothing to do with this Hack which deals with Supermods :)

But feel free to suggest @ .com that superadmins should have all moderator permissions.

[karanlikdunya]

my functions.php code

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'])
{
DEVDEBUG(' USER IS A SUPER MODERATOR');
$return = true;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('can_moderate_supermod') ) ? eval($hook) : false;
return $return;
}
}

you code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'] OR
$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel'])
{
DEVDEBUG(' USER IS A SUPER MODERATOR');
return true;

[Boofo]

From the first post:

1 File Edit (only for Versions < 3.5 RC3)

[Andreas]

@karanlikdunya
As Boofo already pointed out, this Hack does not need any File Edits for RC3+.
Those are only necessary for Versions < RC3 - which is clearly stated in the readme.

[WNxWakko]

maybe im missing something but I installed it the RC3 way and I dont see anything new or different in the supermod permissions page. What is this mod supposed to add exactly?

[Andreas]

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=34827" target="_blank">https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attac...chmentid=34827</a>
This should appear in usergroup manager.

[WNxWakko]

ok I found why. I didnt put the xml file in. Although I do notice that the header saying Elite Mod permissions is not at the top like your screenshot is. Mine us just blank at the top.

[Andreas]

The Bitfield XML must be uploaded before the Product XML is imported, otherwise it will not work properly.
Uninstall the Product and then import the Product XML again.

[Daniel]

You're a lifesaver, Kirby. Much appreciated *installs*

[Daniel]

Hmm... not showing up in the Super Moderator permissions, XML bitfield was uploaded before plugin, reinstalled it aswell to confirm, doesn't appear. Anything I could do to fix it?

[Andreas]

Send me a PM with ACP and FTP login details and i'll take a look.
Otherwise I can't help much as I got no idea what could be going wrong.

[Protoman]

this needs to be updated for 3.5 gold.

my functions.php doesn't have the same code as mentioned in the installer. and there is now a hook where it asks you to make the file edit.

[Boofo]

this needs to be updated for 3.5 gold.

my functions.php doesn't have the same code as mentioned in the installer. and there is now a hook where it asks you to make the file edit.

Re-read the install file. The file edit is no longer used for 3.5.0 Gold. It is for 3.5 RC2 and below only I think. ;)

[Christine]

@Protoman -- From the first post: 1 File Edit (only for Versions < 3.5 RC3)

@Kirby -- with the 05 Oct update, do we need to uninstall/reinstall and reset permissions, or just reload the product over the last one?

[Andreas]

Just overwrite the Bitfiield XML - as said there were just some wrong variables for the phrases.
But It wouldn't hurt to check the permissions afterwards, as you might have set wrong permissions (due to the wrong phrase text being displayed).

[Christine]

That was painless. :)

Thanks!

[JulianD]

Thanks! The only comment I have on this is that when I'm using the inline moderation and choose to delete some post, the option to physically remove the post appears, even though it doesn't work and throws a no permission screen. Any way to avoid that?

[Andreas]

<a href="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs35.php?do=view&bugid=1647" target="_blank">http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...iew&bugid=1647</a>

[JulianD]

So it'll be fixed in the next version? Cool... :) Thanks Kirby

[dcpaq2xx]

I tried installing this but for somereason i dont see anything different in the permissions.

Especially the delete privelage.

Details
1 Bitfield XML File
1 Query
1 File Edit (only for Versions < 3.5 RC3)

Also I dont see anywhere in the instructions where is says anthing about doing a Query to the database. Maybe this is why this hack is not working for me???

Doug

[alraqee]

ok i work with me fine with 3.5.3 ;)

now ...

can i get the same hack for normal moderator??


thank you sir for this hack

[benFF]

Anyway to add onto this so you can decide what type of ban they can do? I would like my supermods to only have temporary ban priviledges, not be able to do a permanent one?

[dcpaq2xx]

Super Moderator Permissions
These Permissions are only active if this Usergrouper is a Super Moderator Usergroup

Is Usergrouper a typo or is it suppose to say that?

Doug

[dcpaq2xx]

Andreas,

Is there anyway you can get this mod to not display the super moderator permissions in other user groups since they don't have any effect on them?

Doug

[Andreas]

It does (or at least should) only display them for usergroups that do have super moderator set - and yes, it's a typo.

[dcpaq2xx]

It does (or at least should) only display them for usergroups that do have super moderator set.

Nope, In mine it even shows up on Registered Members Group.

Doug

[Andreas]

Then I don't know why, it does not display for me on 3.5.3.
Check your installation.

[dcpaq2xx]

One thing I have been trying to ask is what is the 1 Query that is listed in the details? Reason I ask is in the instructions I see nothing mentioned about this Query.

Doug

[Andreas]

ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD modpermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'

But you don't need that query anyway, the product install code does that for you.

[dcpaq2xx]

ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD modpermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'

But you don't need that query anyway, the product install code does that for you.

I was just wondering because the instructions dont say I dont need to do a query, so I wasnt sure If i was missing or forgetting to do something.

Thanks

Doug

[Telegon80]

it seems to me this doesnt work with 3.5.2

im mad, i cant have friday mod of the day anymore. :(

[Telegon80]

nope. i create a new usergroup based off of supermods and the options dont come up for it whereas before they did. :(

[Telegon80]

can we please get an upgraded version of this hack? pretty please?

i have "mod of the day" fridays on my board and i allow one (or several) members to go on and ban other people who have been annoying them through the week. this hack was perfect for this because i could limit all their powers except bannings and it worked out great.

However, for some reason the hack only works on the actual supermod group, no longer will it work on a new usergroup which is based off the supermod usergroup. that is the problem with it now. :(

[cyberhypnotic]

I have a usergroup titled "Level 1 Mods" which is based off of the Super Moderator usergroup and this hack works fine. All of the Super Mod permissions are located at the bottom of the Usergroup Manager.

AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> [i]usergroup based off of Super Moderator usergroup

Don't forget to select Yes for Can Moderate All Forums (is Super Moderator) under the Administrator Permissions.

Edit - I just tried it myself. If you create a new usergroup and base it off of the Super Moderator usergroup, it should have the Super Moderator Permissions at the very bottom, right before Create Permissions Based off of Usergroup: [--- None ---].

If you select the new usergroup to NOT be a Super Moderator under Adminstrator Permissions, then the SuperMod Perms will not show up afterwards.

If this doesn't solve your problem, you might want to try a clean install of the SuperMod hack.

[Telegon80]

yeah i have done the clean install a few times already but i will try this again one more time following your instructions.

[Telegon80]

btw, cyberhypnotic youre running 3.5.2?

[SnowBot]

dont seem to work for me either in 3.5.2

[Andreas]

I do have this installed on one of my testboards (which is 3.5.3) and it works just fine.
It also worked with 3.5.2 and previous versions.

What exactly "does not work"?

[Telegon80]

when i upgraded to 3.5.2 (from 3.5.1) i disabled all my hacks, then went ahead and enabled them all again after i finished. so i checked the supermod hack and the options for it didnt show for my 'friday mods' usergroup.

i took off the plug-in, etc and reinstalled the hack from scratch. still nothing.


i deleted my usergroup and made a new one based off of supermod usergroup and still no workie. the options dont show under edit usergroup......

:confused:

[Telegon80]

it does, however, work on the actual 'supermoderators' group.

[Hornstar]

Will this stop smods from being able to hard delete as well as thats the only thing i dont want smods being able to do, thanks

[Andreas]

@Telegon80
You are doing smth. wrong then.
Feel free to send me a PM with an ACP login and i'll take a look.

[NuclioN]

Our supermod asked if it is possible to ban moderators without entering the admincp. I know that is not what this hack is about but maybe it can go bothways. Limit or expand. :)

[Telegon80]

there is a quick ban/unban hack. lets u ban people on their drop-down menu under their name. i never installed it though.

[Telegon80]

@Telegon80
You are doing smth. wrong then.
Feel free to send me a PM with an ACP login and i'll take a look.okay i sent u a pm

[Andreas]

Got it, but you don't have this Hack installed, so what should I do?

[Telegon80]

yeah youre right, i completely uninstalled it because it wasnt working :o

ill re-install it for tomorrow cuz now im at work. sorry and thanks for the help.

[Andreas]

OK. Contact me again when it is installed.

[Telegon80]

okay its installed again.

[Andreas]

It does show up for the Supermoderator Usergroup.
I guess it should also show up for the M.O.D Usergroup, which is the case when this group is set to be a Supermodertor usergroup.
So where is the problem?

[Telegon80]

it doesnt show up.

go to m.o.d. edit usergroup and scroll down to the bottom and the hack's option box is not there.

[Andreas]

Yeah, currently it does not show up because the usergroup is not a super moderator usergroup.
Change that, save and it will show up.

Btw.: Your cookie settings don't seem to work correctly.

[Silmarillion]

Excellent! Thx, Andreas!

[brvheart]

I have this installed....but bad news is it takes away most of the thread tools that the Supermod has....is there anyway to fix it so that the thread tools can be picked as to which ones you would like to have the supermod be able to do?

EDIT: Things such as sticky thread, move thread etc in the thread tools drop down is what I am referring to ;)

[brvheart]

*uninstalls for time being until I can figure out how to let the supermod group see thread tools etc*

[Andreas]

Give them permissions ...

[brvheart]

I did.....did not work. Great hack, love it....just toook away their ability to see the thread tools. And the Move to recycle bin option. can you help figure it out? I would love to reinstall it and use it :)

[brvheart]

or maybe I did not give them the correct permission....can you tell me where to give it?

[Andreas]

Usergroup Manager :)

[brvheart]

k, I did that.

[dcpaq2xx]

Group,

For some reason the Super Moderator Permissions for this hack are only showing up in the Administrator User Group and none of the others and I dont know why.

Anyone know why it is doing this? Its suppose to be showing up in the Super Moderator Group isnt it?

Doug

[Andreas]

It will show up in any usergroup that is a super-moderator usergroup.

[soulface]

Just installed, working fine without any prob. (the options showing me in admin & super mods usergroups only :p)

Off topic: andreas, can i change the names of admin & super mods user groups to something else ? if i do, will it make any prob in vbulletins functions ? thanks..

[CodeRed]

awesome... thanks a ton for this...

i really needed it

[davelacey]

*clicks install*
Master hack. Thankyou.
Should be implemented as standard imo.

[Telegon80]

okay im having a bit of a problem and i think it may be because of this hack.

Im trying to assign a moderator to a specific forum and set the account up but then i turn off all the supermod permissions off and he's useless. Then i turn on the ones i want for him to use and he can use them on the whole forum.

Anyone here running the hack and also has moderators assigned to specific forums wants to lend me a hand i'd appriciate it.

[Andreas]

If you want an account to moderate only certain forums: don't make it supermod.
Supermods have moderating poweers over all forums.

[Telegon80]

i know that, but when i edit usergroup for moderators i also get the supermod options.. what gives.

[Andreas]

Only if your "Moderator" usergroup is actually a supermod usergroup.

[Skelp]

Installed on Version 3.5.4 and workin like a charm.. Awesome add on and agree this should be incorporated right in vBulletin in future versions.

[Ragnarok]

Installed, mostly for the purpose of preventing physical removal of posts, but looks cool, and suggests many possible uses in the future. :)

[Royal]

Installed it on my vB 3.5.4 forum and can't get it to work. Uploaded the XML, can changed the user permissions (yes i see the super mod permissions)

But my admins still can hard delete posts, it's working for super moderators though

[zeroality]

That's why they're admins lol. Don't make people you don't trust admins.

[Telegon80]

wow owned

[San]

Hi this plugin work on vb 3.6 ?:)

[craiovaforum]

nope, this plugin didnt work for me in vb 3.6.0
an update would be nice :D

[Shazz]

Andreas has so many hacks..Its going to be a while untill he gets to this one :)

[Algren_San]

im waiting for the 3.6.0 update on this hack cuz it rocks :P

[Ragnarok]

Doesn't the 3.6 Supermod permissions system make this hack rather redundant?

AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Show All Moderators > Super Moderators > *Username* Edit Permissions

[kdholdom]

Doesn't the 3.6 Supermod permissions system make this hack rather redundant?

AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Show All Moderators > Super Moderators > *Username* Edit Permissions

Thanks for that. Would never of checked there.

[Andreas]

This Hack is redundant as of 3.6.
Therefore, there will be no update.

[shymshek]

Thanxxxxxxxxx :)

[Pamela]

Installed. Awesome! thanks!!! :D

[aveon]

hey andreas can you updae this for 3.6

[aveon]

i really need this hack so can any body update this mod???

[COBRAws]

i really need this hack so can any body update this mod???
Read this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1056436&postcount=142

[Veer]

waiting for the 3.6.0 update

[RFViet]

thanks

[Shazz]

Working great 3.6!

[Konstantinos]

The Permissions will show up for every Usergroup, yes.
However, they will only have an effect in Supermod Usergroups.It also has an effect for admins ? cause it shows up in the admin options and all are set to no. should i change them to yes ?

[Konstantinos]

it doesnt work in 3.5.7 . i have a test account as super mod and ALL options set to NO still i coyld physically delete a thread. why is that ? maybe is it becouse my super mods have also access to the admin panel ?

[RFViet]

Doesn't work well on vB3.6.4. I don't allow to see IP, they still see from posts but the who's online !!

[WNxWakko]

You say this hack is no longer necessary in 3.6.4 but half of these permissions do not exist in 3.6.4 and would be nice to have. I don't understand why this would not be needed anymore unless I am missing something??

Doesn't the 3.6 Supermod permissions system make this hack rather redundant?

AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Show All Moderators > Super Moderators > *Username* Edit Permissions

I disagree here. While you can edit by user, you just have no idea how much work that would be. I have over 50 Elite moderators and I dont want to have to deal with that. This mod is still needed to set in the usergroup itself.

[Shazz]

very nice stated out, I totally agree :D

[Kap O]

3.6.X update needed..

[PDM]

hi pleaes for vB 3.6.X

[TalkBolts]

This hack is sweet & EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank You!

[JulianD]

This hack is now a default feature on vB 3.6.x...
