Good job. :) I will add that to the first post giving credit to you.

only problem with that is its still hard coded via usergroups

Thanks! :)

Eh? I read your first post in this thread, but I'm afraid I don't know what "tatchy" is. You mean you want it as a definable option in the AdminCP? I plan to tinker with this hack quite a bit, so if that's what you mean I could do the code for that (if Erwin doesn't mind, of course).

I don't mind. :) Just post it here, and I will include it in the first post.

no i was refering to the fact that you were still using usergroup id's which arnt always a good idea anymore :) (or so i keep being told)

Erm.. if there's another way to do it, I'm all ears. Sure, I used can_moderate() for moderators.. but is there a can_admin(), too? Heh..

can_moderate()

$permissions['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL

at least i think so? what i pulled outta beta 7 :)

$perm['adminpermissions'] & CONTROLPANEL pull info from the currently logged in user, not the selected user -- so those won't work. I've been digging on vB.com and I can't seem to find anything relating to this. I was also digging through the default templates for a clue, but apparently they removed Administrator distinctive traits such as italics in Who's Online and Memberlist.

So.. until I can find how they want me to do it, usergroupid will have to do. :D

if you use

<if condition="$permission['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL"> it will only show to admins

It's $perm['adminpermissions'] and yes, you're right.. that will work if I want to show to admins, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish sadly.

I need to display warning options on a per user basis, if the selected user is an admin then the warning options will NOT be displayed for them when clicked -- which is why the usergroupid is being used.

$permisson[] gets the permissions of the logged in user, not the selected user.

Great that moderator addon was exactly what i needed :) great hack and great addon, thnx guys

Finally got off my butt and made a ZIP file. :)

Excellent hack Erwin :)

Thanks for sharing

Great Hack

Just a question.
When you give someone a warning, does it send them any form of notification, PM or Email? Is it possible to set a reason for the warning?

Thanks

At the moment, no, it does neither. I'm working on a mod at the moment that will add that functionality. :)

A good one - could be more strucutrized.

That would be quite easy to add to warn.php. :) I've never needed to as I get my moderators to manually PM the member.

i really dont like the idea of having a new custom field and mr erwin isit possible to create an install script for all the lazy ones?

New custom profile field is the best way to add new fields, since you don't need to run extra queries to get the information. :) Running an install script won't work with custom profile fields since the custom profile fieldid would be different for each person depending on how many of these you have added.

understood but i mean for editing the php files .. remember vb hacker and vb hback maker , i mean install file that sort of way and profile bit is manually done

You want a file that manually edits your PHP files for you?

Firstly, you would have to have all your PHP files CHMOD 777 first of all. Secondly, it is much safer to do it manually, since you know where the code has gone, and can troubleshoot better. Thirdly, it means you learn about how PHP works if you do it manually. Fourthly, vBHacker doesn't work for vB3. :)

I can understand an install file to put in new tables and columns, templates and phrases, but not editing actual PHP files - that should be done by the installer manually.

sory for being so lazy :)

im not seeing the ip or the warnign points in the post bit

Try reinstalling the hack again. :) Something didn't go right. Make sure also you are allowing mods to see IPs in the first place. And that you have given out the warning point.

Hmm, I just installed this on my test board.. everything is working except the automatic Ban when warning level is above 7. It wont put the member in the banned usergroup for some reason. :/

Hi, i tried this and got:

What've i done wrong? :(

EDIT: Whoops, i got this when trying to add/subtract/reset warnings. Everything else works perfectly.

You haven't got the custom profile field id correct there. It should be field10 or something like that.

Mmm... did you specify the banned usergroup id in the warn.php file correctly?

Yep.

Got round to installing it and went without any problems, all seems to work well.

Nice, THANKS :)

hah, yeah.. i didnt realise something =P

Thanks, its all sorted now. Works perfectly ^^;

Installed!

Seems to be working fine so far. :)

Glad to know it's working. :) Hope it's helping you run your forums.

Yes thanks! Even the more hack-skeptic staff are impressed.

Wow, that is quite an involved hack. Good work!

quick question, if you add a warning point can you have a reason for the warn as well???

Thanks

No, I haven't done that for this hack. I may add this as a feature in the future.

I've installed it but sometimes it wierds out on me.. when I put my mouse over on the postbit it won't generate the menus.. but if I click the username go to their userinfo and come back it works again..

did I miss something here?

The dropdown menu thing has nothing to do with my hack - that's an intrinsic vB3 issue that is related to different browsers. :) My hack just makes use of the dropdown menus.

ah k.. didn't they fix that "bug" or is it still around RC2 ?
