Thats a long list :o

*Waves* Hi DWZ :) This is one I'll definitely consider installing...Right now, I restrict access by user ID#...

So did I for a while, but I wanted to give the other admins and supermods the ability to ban emails and IPs... I don't want to have to do all that. :) I've had this running for months now, with no problems.

Nice hack Erwin:)

*installs*

Satan

Does this still allow them access to things like modifying users, announcements, etc?

Yes. This only restricts the vB Option section (where you change the name of forum etc.)

Erwin, I would guess that this would work with 2.2.9 (and 2.3.0).

Also, just quickly looking through the admin cp, how would this affect:

Forums & Moderators (add/modify/permissions)
Threads & Posts (all options)
Users (all options), and User Titles, Profile Fields, & Groups (all options)
<skip a few admin options>
Styles
Templates, etc.

I haven't given admin access to mods (yet), but feel that the default /mod panel is severely limited (a mod can't even edit a user's signature), so need to give some more control, but obviously am hesitant to give 'too much' control (and wisely so I think), even though (as we all do) I feel all current moderators can be trusted.

If I read your post above correctly, admins would be able to do everything, and this would *only* limit the first link in the admin cp (options), and restrict admins to what the hack allows. While this si good, it seems a rouge admin could do nearly as much damage to a forum by merely killing the templates, etc.

Just need to be sure this si what I want (overall, even besides your hack).

Is there an updated version of this hack for 3.0.7?

-bump-

any word on if this works for 3.0.6...?

:)

This is a 3 year old hack for vB2. It will not work for vB3 and higher.

Check the vB3 forums to see if there is a hack like this available. (Tip: check the profile of this vB2 hack to see if he ever ported it).
