This hack would be even better and like Xenons More Powers for Mods hack if you could DEFINE WHICH groups a Moderator could modify. Could that be implemented? Even if it is hardcoded?

Im trying to allow certain MODS to change only certain groups they are allowed to change. I have 3 differetn mods for 3 different section on my boards and I dont want them messing with other groups.

Could this be added? Maybe by adding the GROUP IDs into the ADMINCP somewhere that a Group can modify.

@ OGT -- Sorry, I missed your post. Let me look at that.

@BLackxRam - This is what this hack does. It adds a radio button into the modify Usergroup section of the Admin CP that says "Modifiable Group" Y/N. If you have this radio button set to Yes on the usergroup, it will show up in the dropdown for the mods. If you set it to no, it won't, so they can't change people into it.

:)


Edit to add -- OGT, that one is a typo that was entered twice but won't hurt anything. I didn't include Banning as that is a seperate permission and I didn't want to exclude those who can't ban from being able to change usergroups. You can take that out as a duplicate entry, or if you want only those who can ban to change groups, change it to canbanusers.

I know I understand that, however what I meant was, I have other mods that I dont want to be able to change certain groups. Like I am looking to have Moderator Group A being able to change usergroups 7, 9, 11 while Moderator Group B can change usergroups 8, 10, and 12. That kind of thing.

Just like Xenons hack for vb2

HI BlackxRam,

I am not familiar with Xenon's vB2 hack as I had written my own back then. I understand what you are looking for now though, but this won't do that without some extensive modifications. Unfortunately, I only use Supermods on my site, so don't have the various mod groups to test this on.

Sorry I couldn't help. You may want to check to see if that hack is in the works to be ported?

There appears to be a bug in changegroup.php if the username being modified has any quotes in the name, see the error below.

Thanks, Sidewindr - I will fix...

Edit to add: Please download the new zip and replace the changegroup.php with the one you have now and let me know if this is working.

great hack but now that i use a promotions system
it would be great to allow moderators the ability to add users to additional groups

Yep working like a charm now .. thanks :up:

Thanks Sidewindr. I sent out an update for it. :)

Hi msimplay, That wouldn't take much to do -- just add the checkboxes and the logic for membergroupids to be inserted into the database. As long as you keep the restriction of the usergroups that you set up as modifiable, that is all they would see as options.
