I know it's not an ideal solution, but maybe better then nothing.

Thank you kind sir, I really really needed this and you have now saved me valuable time (which I dont have).

Once again, thanks :)

[edit]
Doesnt work, getting mysql errors all over the place (including when editing a user). When usergroup is added. members of the usergroup (additional) dont have moderator rights.

Looks like this hack doesn't support table prefixes :D

[Andreas]

It should support Table Prefixes.
But it needs an up-to-date mySQL Version

@DarkSSJ3
Which mySQL Version do you use?

[Mephisteus]

4.0.24-standard

I have to go out for a bit, when I get back Ill load it back up and go through it more extensivly

[Andreas]

Aargh, there was a Problem with Table Prefixes - 1 Space where it should not have been.
ZIP updated.
Just import the new Product XML to update.

But I still think this isn't the cause for your Problem, as you don't seem to use Table Prefixes?

Yea, i have prefixes and ur newest update and still nothin :surprised:

[Andreas]

Hmm. Works fine on my Testboard that has a Table Prefix :(
Which Prefix do you use?

[Asterik]

Silly me, actually i have no prefix. :P. But it gives me the same error eventhough I did set a usergroup as moderator of a forum o_O.

That's what I thought.
Seems like your mySQL Version does not support this Query Syntax.

Can you try the following Query in phpMyAdmin if it generates errors?

I have the same as Asterik. When editing a user it gives me that error.

That is a completly different query.

PS Not all MySQL versions support multi table deletes.

[Mephisteus]

The only place where I get that error is when editing a user. Also (the user already is a part of that group) the user doesnt have moderator rights.

Exactlly the same :).

[Andreas]

Hmpf. Ppl should use more up-to-date mySQL Versions ;)
OK, doing it the old-fashined way then - without multi-table DELETEs.

[Mephisteus]

Woho! Pretty please let us know when its updated :)

[Andreas]

Will do.
Btw: If you add a Usergroup that already has Members (be it primary or secondary) as Moderator, do these members get Moderators?

[Boofo]

That is a completly different query.

PS Not all MySQL versions support multi table deletes.

Which versions of MySQL support it?

[Andreas]

4.0.2 up does ... if I understand the manual correctly.
But as there is one report from 4.0.24 where it is not working, maybe only 4.1.X does support this Syntax?

Bob, could you test if it's working for you?

[Boofo]

I'm running 4.0.24-Standard, but I will install it and give it a shot. ;)

[Andreas]

Thanks :)
I guess editing a User will not work, but I am interested if it does add Usergroup Members as Mods (when you add the Usergroup as Mod) on this Version

[Boofo]

Ok, installed fine and I just added the administrators as the mod group to a forum. Is that what you needed to know or do you need me to check something else while I am playing? ;)

[Boofo]

And when I check the forum it shows each admin in the mods drop down listing.

[Andreas]

Great, so this part is working - only the multi-table delete causing Problem then :)

[Boofo]

What do I need to do to test that part of it to make sure it just isn't a fluke on another system?

[Andreas]

Just Edit a User

[Boofo]

Sorry, got the same error on that one. :(

[Andreas]

I have removed the multi-table DELETEs.
Hopefully this does work with older mySQL Versions now too.

[Mephisteus]

everything seems like its working fine. Minus one thing, remove the user form the additional usergroup and the moderator access remains (yet disappears if the moderator usergroup is removed as such)

[Andreas]

One missing s, aargh.
Should be fixed now, just import the new product XML.

[Mephisteus]

Looks like its working now :) Thanks again :)

[HuangA]

Kirby, can I make a translation of this and post on vbulletin chinese's hacks forum (crediting you of course)?

[Andreas]

Feel free to post an XML with Translated Phrases/Installation instructions, but the Product XML should only be available for Download from here.
Thanks for your understanding :)

If you do, please send me a copy as well.

[HuangA]

Hm... aren't the phrases part of the product xml? I wonder how I'm gonna translate just the phrases without putting up a different xml :p oh well, I'll go probe around and see what I can do :)

[Andreas]

Take a look at the 3.5 Modification Tips&Tricks Forum, I posted a How-To for translating Hacks :)

[ack]

Oh man, it works perfect! This is exactly what I needed!

I know this is stupid and I probably shouldn't ask, but would there be anyway to just have the name of the usergroup as the moderator, instead of all of the moderators showing up?

It's no biggy, it would just look nicer. *whistles*

Oh man, but this is awesome. Thanks like.. A MILLION. Really. *worships*

[Andreas]

I know this is stupid and I probably shouldn't ask, but would there be anyway to just have the name of the usergroup as the moderator, instead of all of the moderators showing up?

Not possible (without major File Edits).

[ack]

Bah. Okay. I figured. It's all right. This code alone makes my life so much easier. Thanks a bunch. ^_^

[ack]

Sorry. This isn't a big deal, but I just thought I'd let you know that I got this error.

It happens when I change the usergroups of a specific user. I change them and then save the changes, and I get that message. However, when I go back to check to see if it actually went through, it does. So it's an error that's easy to ignore, because everything still works fine.

[Andreas]

I hate Table-Prefixes ...
It doesn't work properly, the Moderator Permissions won't get updated when you get this error.

Reimport Version 1.0.4 and check if it works then.

[ack]

Sweet, no error anymore. Thanks! And sorry I've been such a pain. T_T;

[Yorixz]

I can't wait till vB3.5 goes final, especially now I see this mod is there; I've been missing this since I switched from IPB to here ;)

Thanks a lot!

[ForYou]

Hello , realy it is very nice hack :)

my request now , I need when i Add New Moderator Usergroup to Forum the users that in the group will not shwoing on the main forum , I mean i don't need to let the members know how is Moderator of some forum , can i hide the names of Moderator when i allow it ,

I hope u understand me ,

Regards

[Andreas]

Yes I understood you. But it is not possible.

[Andreas]

Version 1.0.5 is now available
For changes, see frist Post.

To upgrade, overwrite the existing Files, import the Product XML (Overwrite=Yes!) and make the Template Edits.

[ForYou]

Hello sir ,

Is there a way to put the option let the admin if he need to swho them on the forumHome or not , please try to do that if it can

regards

[Andreas]

Once again in English please :)

[ForYou]

:) hello , sorry for my english lang , I know that is bad :( sorry ,

any way ,
I mean , when i add any group for Mod , I don't need to show that name on the ForumHome , just I need to give him permisions without put there names on ForumHome ,

I hope you understand me ,

Regards

[Andreas]

Disable Moderator Column in vBulletin Options, then the Moderators don't show up there.
But IMHO Users should know who is Moderator, so they can contact them when there are Problems.

Thank you :) evry thing is OK

[Yorixz]

Does this mod also allow you to add the usergroup to multiple forums at once (similar to the "Easy Add Moderator Hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92370)" for vB3.0.x ) ? It would be great if that's also an option :)

[Andreas]

No, it does not.

[ack]

Thanks for adding the whole usergroup instead of usernames thing. It looks so much better now. ^_^ You're awesome, and I think I wish to marry you. :|!

[Brinnie]

Hello,

The instructions do not tell where to upload the php files. I am confused. :confused:

[Abe1]

KirbyDE, a mod set to be a moderator threw this system, can use the inline mod tools on the forumdisplay page but not on the showthread page. All that shows up is the top drop down asking what boxes you want to check or uncheck at once, and the actual check box. There is no drop down menu at the bottom and when you click a check box, you get an error on the page.

[Andreas]

I am almost sure that this can't be caused by this Hack.
Can you reproduce this effect with unmodified Files, unmodified Style and all Plugins/Products except this one disabled?
If so: Which error exactly do you get where, and how to reproduce?

[Abe1]

I disabled plugins and found that there was still a problem. Now, if I moved a user normaly to moderator, there was no problem. So it seems like it has to do with this hack.

Here is a way to reproduce:
1) make a usergroup a moderator group
2) add a user to that group
3) go view a showthread page.

[Andreas]

OK, i've created a Moderator Usergroup, assigned this to a Forum.
Then I added a User to this Group (secondary Usergroup).
I logged in as this User, acessed a Thread in this Forum.
All moderation Elements were visible, I tested close/open and stick/unstick - worked just fine.

So what Problems should I face?

It shound like to tested in forumdisplay. Go into a thread and check. When veiwing posts.

I was on showthread :)

I need exact information on how to reproduce them.

no error shows. You just cant see the drop down menu on the bottom that has options like merge posts.

It's there for me.

[Abe1]

OK. I'm going to do some more tests.

[Andreas]

Frist thing to check would be the Permissions for the Group ;)

[diretur]

I am a newbie in vb3 so sorry for the stupid question.
You say: Import product-modusrgrp.xml
How should I import it? I am using vb 3.0.9

thank you

[Andreas]

Not at all, this is a vBulletin 3.5 Hack and not compatible with vBulletin 3.0.

[diretur]

thank you for the quick reply. I will wait for vb 3.5 :disappointed:

[Andreas]

You can just download it: http://www.vbulletin.com/members

[Boofo]

How come you never send update notices when you update your hacks, sir? ;)

[Andreas]

I only send Updates when critical Bugs have been fixed.
Most of my Hacks are Beta and thus are being updated frequently so I think it's not necessary to always send eMail - just seems messy.

[Boofo]

But with so many hacks from you, it's hard to keep up on updates. Maybe an update notice every other update or something? ;)

[WNxWakko]

I had a member remove all the names listed in a forum I used this mod to add. The front of the forum just shows the usergroup as the mod, but when viewing in the admincp you see all the members who have mod over it.

My question is, if someone removes a name manually by mistake, is something going to autoadd them back? or am I going to have to delete the add usergroup in your panel and readd every single time?

[Andreas]

If you manually delete a Moderator, you must edit the User and change his Usergroup twice - then he will be in again.
Hmm, maybe I could add some Code to prevent changing individual Moderators (that are Mderatros because they are in a Moderator Usergroup).

[WNxWakko]

Hmm, maybe I could add some Code to prevent changing individual Moderators (that are Mderatros because they are in a Moderator Usergroup).


Oh please do. I have a very very large forum. Over a million posts, I Have 21 Administrators and its very likely for people to make this mistake.

[diretur]

I installed this hack yesterday evening. Now I get sometimes this database error email:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0:

Invalid SQL:

INSERT INTO vb3_moderator (userid, forumid, permissions, moderatorusergroupid, modusergroupid)
SELECT 3850 AS userid, moderatorusergroup.forumid, moderatorusergroup.permissions, moderatorusergroup.moderatorusergroupid, moderatorusergroup.usergroupid

LEFT JOIN vb3_moderator AS moderator ON (moderator.userid = 3850 AND moderator.forumid=moderatorusergroup.forumid AND moderator.moderatorusergroupid=moderatorusergroup. moderatorusergroupid)
WHERE moderatorusergroup.usergroupid IN (3)
AND ISNULL(moderator.moderatorid);

MySQL Error : INSERT TABLE 'vb3_moderator' isn't allowed in FROM table list
Error Number : 1093

It happens when somebody tries to register. Now I uninstalled the mod and the registration works again.

any ideas?

thanks

[Andreas]

Hmm, this Query works just fine for me.
Which mySQL Version do you use?

[diretur]

3.23.58-log

[diretur]

wait, maybe I have it!
Table 'db32351_14.vb3_moderatorusergroup' doesn't exist

I did't create any table because I haven't seen it in the readme file!

[diretur]

sorry for the chaos: now I uninstalled the mod, so the table should have been deleted from the database. right?

[Andreas]

I think that 3.23 is too old.
The table should have been automatically created by the product install code.

[trilljester]

Kirby: Can you limit this usergroup's moderator functions, meaning, they can have the same limitations as moderators as a single user moderator, right? Like if I don't want them deleting posts or what not, I can restrict that, correct?

[JohnBee]

Okay I installed this mod and the first thing I noticed is when I try to edit any of the usergroups i get an SQL dB error. I tried to deactivate the hack and make the changes but it still does the same so I guess there have been changes made to the tables that cause the error.

I will try and uninstall then try to edit the usergroups to see if the same problem occurs. One thing for sure is once the hack is installed, it almost certainly leads us to edit or refine the usergroups to better fit the group system in forum home so the SQL error will almost definately take place.

Okay I uninstalled the hack and the error still occurs so I guess the MOD is noit cleaning up the tables after uninstallation.

Here is the error

Its messing up at the imghost field. Its neither a defeault field nor is it part of this hack, Id be looking at another hack... (though I do not know which one, Im guessing one that hosts images on a usergroup basis or something :p)

@trilljester, yes it does :)

[Andreas]

@trilljester
The permissions are the same as for normal moderators.

@JohnBee
Field imghost definitely has nothing to do with this Hack, so this error is caused by another Hack.
=> Remove all Bitfield XMLs from Hacks you don't use (any longer) and rebuilt the bitfield cache.

[trilljester]

Awesome. Thanks for this, Kirby! I really wish this was a feature in VBulletin, I'm surprised it's not. It's actually a feature in most forum softwares.

Okay I know exacly what MOD is reponsable for this. I did uninstall it but it looks like it left some dirty code behind. Any idea how I can rebuild bitfield cache? I have a file called bitfield_rebuild.php but it won't run gives me an error. Is there another way?

[Andreas]

I don't know where bitfield_rebuild.php comes from, but it is not a standard file.
admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields is the way to go.

[Andreas]

Hmm, maybe I could add some Code to prevent changing individual Moderators (that are Mderatros because they are in a Moderator Usergroup).
This is now implemented in Version 1.0.7

[cynix2]

First love the hack its exactly what Im looking for.

Question though, I have my groups that moderate set to be a public usergroup with a leader so they can hire new staffers and such, When they join the usergroup it sets them in the group as an additional usergroup. If i set them manuially your mod allows them to moderate as allowed However when they join a public usergroup using the system they dont have any powers. Why are the users not allowed to moderate? Is it the hack, the forum, or what is happening so that users cannot mod when joining a public group?

@ cynix2 the querys are done when the form is used that was given by kirby. I do agree however, that it would be a sweet thing considering I have 4 usergroups that would benefit from such a possibility :p

[Andreas]

Public Usergroup Management doesn't run through the Datamanagers, so the current Code doesn't catch that.
Support will be available in Version 1.0.8

[Andreas]

Support for moderated public Usergroups as Moderator Usergroups is now available in Version 1.0.8

[akanevsky]

Nice hack, but this code is kind of creepy:

<if condition="$show[modgroup]">
<if condition="$show[doshowmodgroup]">
<a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$moderator[usergrouptitle]</a>
</if>
<else />
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$moderator[userid]" rel="nofollow">$moderator[musername]</a>
</if>

Cause what if I want to add both groups and single users to a certain forum?
I believe <if> allows that... Somehow:

<if condition="$show[modgroup]">
<if condition="$show[doshowmodgroup]">
<a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$moderator[usergrouptitle]</a>
</if>
<if condition="$show[doshowmodgroup] OR $show[doshowsinglemod]">, </if>
<if condition="$show[doshowsinglemod]">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$moderator[userid]" rel="nofollow">$moderator[musername]</a>
</if>
</if>

[Andreas]

My code is correct, yours isn't - you are opening 4 <if> but close only 3 :)

[akanevsky]

It doesn't matter how many <if>'s I open and close, I am trying to get through the point that you could make it show both groups and users... Besides, I fxied it.

[Mephisteus]

It does matter, cause you might/will get template compile errors otherwise ;)

[akanevsky]

Jeez........... I know that... I'm just giving you an ESTIMATE of what the code should be. -.-

[jluerken]

Perfect hack kirbyDE. This should be standard.

I found five small cosmetic problems and it would be nice to get an update for this.

1. If you add a group as moderator for a forum and its subforums then you will see in ADMINCP - Show all moderators only the top forum.
This list should contain also the subforums like if you add the mod to every single board.

2. Admincp - Manage forums. In the last column you can add single moderators. If you add a group as moderator to a forum you see there that the forum has 0 moderators.
There should be the moderatorgroup listed.

3. I wanted to add a group + a single user to a forum. I added the group and then the single user and on the forumhome I can see that the group is gone.
There should be group+user or?

4. If you click on the moderator group on the forumhome page the link points to the show forum leaders page.

5. Admincp - Moderator Usergroup Manager
I am using a group that is not displayed there.
In such cases it would be nice if all users are shown by hovering the moderator group link on the forumhome page

5. See point 1. All forums including the subforums should be listed there.

Kind regards

1) This is standard vBulletin behaviour for Moderators and can't be changed without file edits

2) For me it shows all users of the usergroun then ...

3) For me it shows the single mod and the usergroup

4) This is intended behaviour. Where else should it link to?

5) I don't understand that

Maybe you can tell how this will work as optional step? :D


2) For me it shows all users of the usergroun then ...


For me it shows 0 Moderators


3) For me it shows the single mod and the usergroup


Only the last that I entered. Mod OR Modgroup


4) This is intended behaviour. Where else should it link to?


Its currently linking to showgroups.php (Forum Leaders).
If the moderator group is not listed on the forum leaders page this link makes no sense.
Maybe hovering the link can show the mod names?


5) I don't understand that


You could not. I was typing much to fast and missed a part :D
I was talking about the moderator group page itself.
If you add a moderator group to a forum again only the top forum is displayed.
Like you told us in point 1 I think this could also be only fixed with file edit or?

[Andreas]

Maybe you can tell how this will work as optional step? :)
I won't do that, sorry.

For me it shows 0 Moderators
Then you must have done smth. wrong.

Why should the group not be listed?
Doesn't make sense to me, as the users must know who are moderators.
Anyway, it is possible to make the usernames a title attribute, but that would require another query.

I have internal clan forums where the clans can organize themself but I don't want to show them on the forum leader page cause they are no forum leaders.
They can manage their forum but they're not belonging to my official staff.
Therefore I turned off the option to show those groups on the forum leader page.
Members who want to know who can moderate the board can still see this if they have access.

Only thing I can say is that it works just fine on my system.

[moonclamp]

Would there be anyway to have secret moderator group that doesn't show up in the list?

There have been so many accusations of favouritism on my forum that I don't really want my members to know who the moderators are.

I had the same problem. I total removed the hack and moderators from the groups. I then installed the updated hack and it works now.

[BlackxRam]

So is this pretty Stable now with 3.5 Gold?

[thalamus]

Works perfectly for me :) Thanks for this, saves a lot of time ;) *installs*

[Stephen3]

will effect when upgrade to 3.5.2 or higher?

[edbri871]

I was looking for hack to allow a usergroup to be able to delete and merge thier own posts only within a certain section. The delete part was simple but not the merge. An alternative to have forum moderators so that they have the ability to mod only a paticular forum although the prior would be preffered.

I was linked to this thread and Im not sure if its what Im looking for though I could be mistaken. If this can do what I need maybe someone could let me know and if not could anyone figure how I can do what Im looking for...

Thanks.

[edbri871]

The above post can be ignored since Ive figured how to do what I wanted now...

[SmEdD]

Under "Show All Moderators" if I have them in a usergroup which is a group for Moderating a forum and I click " [Remove this Moderator from All Forums]" it prompts me to download moderator.php . . .

[redlabour]

Updated to 1.0.9 today - my Group "Moderators" is still not shown. Of course i tryed to deinstall and reinstall.

Frist thing i see - it is still in german but it have taken this english Version here now. What?s going wrong there ? :ermm:

Admin and Supermoderators works fine in the same Category.

Fixed a Bug which caused Moderator Usergroups not being displayed properly in subforums.

So this is not working in my Eyes .... and of course i have uploaded the new Files and edited the Templates.

Update : After the Update my Moderators where "registered Users" after a manually Change for each one to Moderators again it works.

[exegete]

Am experiencing errors.

They occur when I attempt to use the "Remove this Moderator from All Forums" function (ACP -> Forums & Mods -> Show All Mods), and the moderator I am attempting to de-mod is a member of one or more moderator usergroups added with this extension.

The action appears to be performed successfully, so everything continues to operate correctly, but the errors appear on the redirection page nonetheless.

This query executes just fine for me.
Which mySQL version do you use?

[cOuNtErFiET]

is there a way to get the groups so that the group in the moderator column is the same color as the members name (HTML Markup) fro the group? Like if a member is White the Usergroup Color would be white in the moderator column? im sure this is simple just don't know what to put

[Raw Sugar]

Is it possible to modify this so that Mods can also view the Style & Templates section and the Forum section? Or does anyone know of a way to change this?

[EasyTarget]

Like if a member is White the Usergroup Color would be white in the moderator column? im sure this is simple just don't know what to putyeah, I'd like this change too.

I also got a mysql error when I added a group of which several members were already moderators. It then listed them as moderators twice and when I removed one of the instances from the show all moderators page the error popped up. (although apparently it still removed them and the usergroup, so I just added the usergroup again)

[cOuNtErFiET]

ok i don't think anyone knows what to put to call the HTML markup color for a name...lol no one has answered another post that i have that has to do with this too...might have to ask on vb.com i guess?

[redlabour]

Will it work in the Future with vBulletin 3.6 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187654) ?

I was just starting to create this mod, because I feel it should be default in vBulletin.

But since you created it allready, I will install it

Thanks

[Jonathan Young]

Is this problem still within 3.54? Looking to install it, but i won't if people are having problems. I also hope this is updated for 3.6.

Ideas?

[JohnBee]

Great hack.

I have a question, my forum home moderator column is not equal in width when different length of group names appear between forums. It's purely cosmetic but kinda of annoying because on a fluid layout the columns are all off between the forum sections.

I wish there was a way to lock down a width, based on the longest usergroup name that way the forum layout would be evenly distributed.

Any chance this could be implemented?

Is it possible to remove the , separator between the usergroups in the forumhome?

[Been Told]

I can't believe this is not a standard feature of vB! A fantastic and hugely usefull mod. Works like a charm.
Thank you so very much!

Edit: I run a 3.6.3 board in case anyone wonders about compatibility with the newest version of vB.

[Binoy]

any updates for this hack for 3.6.x???

[CouchMonkey]

Yeah, I am using this for 3.6.4 with only one problem. The moderator section just runs off the page if you have several moderators.

Please see the attached Image.

Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind, I am an idiot. Please forget that last comment.

I have this same problem after first install and adding two usergroups as moderators, the Administrators and a custom secondary usergroup.

How do I fix it?

they show up as

Sometimes the comma gets placed, and the majority of the time it doesnt.

It would be nice if the MOD would pick up the colour associated to the group being assigned and display it where applicable.

[kellogs]

does it work with 3.6.8?

Yes, I have it installed on 3.6.8 and it works fine. :up:

This doesn't show up for me. All my settings in ACP are right and so forth, but not showing up in my moderator column.

[Alfa1]

Can others confirm that this doesn't show up in the moderator column? That would be just what I need!

Edit: never mind I found it. You forgot to apply the template edits.

Hi Andreas,

I have a small issue with this hack.
If you add more than one group to the list of moderators, only one is shown in the moderator column.

Can you please check this? (vBulletin 3.7 beta4)

Kind regards
jluerken

[Mephisteus]

Andreas, whilst I respect that you don't re-release this for every vB version out there you might want to at least say it works in 3.6 and 3.7 in the first post ;) Plenty of hacks don't and it's a shame to just see this one lumped in with that category while it does work :p

[Andreas]

@jluerken
I guess I never thought there could be several usergroups fo one forum ;)
This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
If a fixed version isn't available within 2 weeks from now, please remind me via PM on vBGo.

[Spoiler]

Hi,

is it possible to make the moderatorgroup available for the calenders?
I have a group, that only have to moderate a calender so that would be very nice.

[jeepinator]

Hey, uhh... I installed this quite a while ago and it did the trick. Thanks!
But I want to remove it, which is easy... but I'd like to undo whatever it is the hack allows before removing the hack.
Problem is... I can't remember what it was :o
So I removed the moderators individually, then added a new user (as a test) and the the test user is now a moderator of a forum, which is kinda what I expected.
I can't seem to find where in the heck I undo making a group be moderators for a forum.
I kinda want to laugh and cry at the same time. Please help :erm:

EDIT 1:
Perhaps, through an upgrade, I lost the code that creates the
"Moderator Usergroup Manager" link in the ACP?

EDIT 2:
Yay, back to laughing. Not sure how the nifty files were missing from the folders, but they were, so I put them there, edited the stuff back to default and uninstalled the hack.
The true hack is me, haha.

[otto]

Hey,

i am from germany - sorry for my bad english ... ;)

I have installed it on vb 3.5.4 and it works ... but i have one problem with it:

The "can edit other posts" funktion is for my forum not realy the best way - i search a way, so a user can edit only its own posts at all time in forum xy and not all posts of all users in forum xy ...

Is there any way to do this with this hack?

Thanks!

[EvilHawk]

It should. Let me know if it does not and i'll take a look at what is needed to make it compatible.

Hi Andreas, it works with the forums but it needs to be updated to support the new 3.7.0 moderator permissions for visitors messages, albums & social groups etc.

Thanks again for this time saving hack. :up:

[Andreas]

It doesn't really need an upgrade - the new permissions are not forum-related, and this hack was meant to manage a usergroup for forums.

[EvilHawk]

Of course, you are right about the meaning of this hack sir, but if you assign a usergroup to a forum you can not edit the new moderator permissions for each moderator.

[shadowevil]

It would be nice if the MOD would pick up the colour associated to the group being assigned and display it where applicable.

Does anyone know how to do this? I'd like this to display like this:

Usergroup Name

instead of

Usergroup Name

on my site.

Edit file product-modusrgrp.xml, find:

$moderator['usergrouptitle'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['title'];

Replace all:
$moderator['usergrouptitle'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['opentag'].$vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['title'].$vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['closetag'];

It's work in 3.7.x :)

[I]Regards,

[EvilHawk]

It's work in 3.7.x :)

No it doesn't because you can not edit the new 3.7.x permissions ...

[Karri]

No it doesn't because you can not edit the new 3.7.x permissions ...I am seconding this. I am trying to give my mods permissions to mod social groups and I can't since it isn't included in this mod. I can't do it from the mod since the options aren't there and when I try to do it individually it says
You cannot modify this Moderator individually.
If you want to modify this Moderator, modify the Moderator Usergroup So how do I let my mods mod social groups, visitor messages and user albums?

[Xoxideforums]

Hi,

I have been using your plugin for quite a while and recently updated to latest Vbulletin patch. I seem to be having some emails dropping off from being sent since doing this. Is there any chance this could be because your plugin is only good up to 3.5? If so, do you plan on doing an update for 3.7?

Thanks!

[kud0gfx]

Excelent mod, does anybody know why in my forumhome it shows the text " Staff || || || || || " and not only "Staff"

it's very strange, and I don't know how to change it :S

[b3nw]

i'm on 3.7.2 and also getting the || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||

any suggestions?

[kawzaki]

brilliant,
i have been looking for this for a while.. using wrong key words :D


vb forum 3.6.8 and working smooth so far.

however, be careful,
once u add a group on a forum to moderate, they get view permission to all other forums ( including private ones ). must check the other forums permissions to avoid giving unwanted access.

thanks a lot!

[jluerken]

I really would like to see Andreas updating this mod. Its very useful. I'll send him a PM and maybe he has time to do it

[AndyJensen]

I got the || || || error as well...update to 3.7.x.

[DerMatze]

work this addon with 3.7.3???

[Abe1]

work this addon with 3.7.3???
works for me

[Karri]

Has anyone figured out how to make this work with the social groups, visitor messages and user albums? As it stands now there is no way to assign mods to those areas when you use this plugin.

[NolF]

I got the || || || error as well...update to 3.7.x.

A quick but dirty method to get rid of it is to go in to the following plugin
Add Usergroup as Moderator: Show Usergroup forumdisplay_moderator

find
$show['doshowmodgroup'] = false;
$moderatorslist .= '||';
change to
$show['doshowmodgroup'] = false;
$moderatorslist .= '';

It seems to work :)


Would be nice if it was updated to 3.7 though 3.8 is coming "soon" so I wouldn't hold my breath for a 3.7 release unfortunetly

[raggyt]

ty m8 need this for new forum

[developpez.com]

Has anyone figured out how to make this work with the social groups, visitor messages and user albums? As it stands now there is no way to assign mods to those areas when you use this plugin.
Same problem here.

This is even worse that the inability to give moderation access or not to those areas, because when you upgrade your forum from 3.6 to 3.7, all your existing moderators will be given rights to any social groups (for example), without ability to remove those rights, but any new moderator (added to a moderator usergroup) won't, without ability to give those rights (except by adding the moderator to a dummy forum by the standard way and give the rights to social groups).

[demoniavbh]

OK, PERFECT :)

But is there anyway not to list this moderators? I mean, in Forum Leaders, in Moderators, I'd like to have only in "User name" the group's name and if I cliked there, then list that group's members.
Now they are 2 times: as part of that group and as moderators, and I prefere having them listed as part of that group.

[edgegamers]

myown: We are encountering the same issue. The problem is you have a member who already has moderator rights above/below the forum category you are trying to add to. The script needs to attempt to locate if a user has moderator rights higher up in the tree and assign the access appropriately. This will be a fairly significant change to the code. Is the owner of this project still around?

Agreed, a new version for 3.8.4 would be great.

As far as compatibility, it looks like it runs, but a version meant for 3.8.4 would be much better.

Looking forward to future editions.

There's an annoying bug where SQL errors get spat out if a user is a member of 2 usergroups which are both moderators of a single forum.

Hi Andreas,

I am sure you are very busy but can you please reply if you will release a vb4 version?

/jluerken

[mokonzi]

I would be keen to see this in vB4 at some point :)

[Faskis]

I'm having a bit of an issue with making this work with vB4 (so if anyone can provide assistance, it would be greatly appreciated). It displays fine, for the most part, except that it adds extra spaces for names that are in the usergroup if you have more than one person in the usergroup (See also: attachment).


Here's the PHP code for the display:

if ($moderator['moderatorusergroupid'])
{
$show['modgroup'] = true;
$moderator['usergrouptitle'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['opentag'] .''.$vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['title'] . $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['closetag'].'';
if (!isset($forum['moderators']))
{
unset($showmodgroups);
}
if (!$showmodgroups["$moderator[moderatorusergroupid]"])
{
$show['doshowmodgroup'] = true;
}
else
{
$show['doshowmodgroup'] = false;
$forum['moderators'] .= '||';

}
$showmodgroups["$moderator[moderatorusergroupid]"] = true;
}
else
{
$show['modgroup'] = false;
}

[Avrojet]

Has anyone tested this in VB4.x?

[Avrojet]

Ok, I'm using this on VB4.1.1 and it works fine. :)

Using this on VB 4.1.4 with no issues yet :) Since I don't show who moderates the forums except from the forum leaders page I didn't use the modification suggested.

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/html/vb/forumdisplay.php on line 329How can i fix this error and use this mod in vb 4.1.10?

Sory for my english and thank you for your help.
That is because of how the commas are now applied in vBulletin. So this modification more than likely won't work from 4.1.8 on up. :(

Thank you for answer.

Is there a simmilar modification for vb 4.1.8 and up?

Installed on 3.8.7, seems to work well. Gives mysql error if you try to add a group to a forum that already has members of said group as mods of said forum - so you have to remove all the mods first. (and I had 52 of this type of 'mod'!)

Otherwise all that I'm missing are a few of the permissions that I don't care too much about, like "edit social group (titles)", etc.

(Would be nice to have it all though)

Thanks for the great mod! I've wanted this a long time.

Does this product change the way VB redirects moderators after performing actions? I'm getting complaints for the staff that they are now redirected to the first page of a forum after changing a thread prefix from within the thread, instead of back to the thread itself.

So, when doing work, they would:
- Go in thread
- Decide a prefix change was appropriate
- Be redirected back into the thread, where they would post saying they've done so
- Hit back button a few times to be back on the page they were on in the forum while making rounds

Now:
- Go into thread
- Decide needs prefix change, changes
- Redirect to first page of forum
- Have to find way back to thread to post reply, and find out what page they were on.

Deal breaker? Maybe. I have a number of people complaining that this is killing productivity/ease-of-volunteering.

Any thoughts?

To make this work on 4.1.11 you need to go into the plugin manager and disable the parts that are hooked into forumbit_display forumdisplay_query forumdisplay_moderator and forumbit_moderator.

This will disable the showing of the mod group name on the pages but it will still work on the back end.

Bumping this. Has anyone successfully ported this mod fully and easily to vb 4.2.x yet?

Thanks ssslippy for the info! I had disabled the mod due to the error and lack of need at the time. The need is back, and there's literally no other mod out there that does the same thing.

I've considered rewriting the code for 4.2+ myself, though I'd have to do a bit of homework on the back-end.

If you use slippy's advice, it should work fine. We have it running fine on our 4.2.1 install. I can export our plugin settings if you really need it.
