You will have to purchase a vBulletin.org Hack Support Subscription to be able to download it and receive support, as I now only release updates and new hacks earlier for my subscribed members. Updates and new hacks get released here about a week later, but with no support here at all.

I can confirm this. It has caused me many hours of stress in troubleshooting.

Yes I updated my bulletin and got this cms/php error. Since there is no update here I have to uninstall it now.

Update: v4.0.002 - Tuesday 19th January 2010
-- Fixed: "Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object" error on vBCMS

vBulletin's update to version 4.0.1 caused an issue on the CMS, this update fixes it.

This update was released at Wolfshead Solutions on Wednesday 13th January 2010 and there has been no negative feedback.

I just updated vBulletin to 4.x and reinstalled the updated version of this mod… then realised I still have the same issue as I had before, for those in the same boat I will post again here:

I have another mod called "Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin" which whitelists and lets through all registrations from my local country (Australia in my case) but requires moderation for all new registrations outside the defined whitelist.

Problem is that this mod only works if you turn on moderation for ALL users… What I wanted to do was make the option appear in the ModCP WITHOUT turning on the "Moderate New Members" option. I do love the ban option in this mod since if I simply delete spammers they get to reuse the same email address, banning stops that.

To fix this problem I found that editing the xml install file and the user_moderation.php file removing the references to $vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] means this little hack doesn't check to see if the moderate new members flag is on, but still checks everything else and still only allows supermods access. (which is exactly what I want).

While I understand this isn't supported by the Mosh, it's only a minor mod and is easy enough to reverse if ever needed. I have run it for a long time on 3.x and now on 4.x it seems to be working just as well. Once again, many thanks.

works very well on 4.0.3PL1, thank you, now I can spread the love around, LOL.

any update for vb 4.0.7?

Update: v4.0.3
-- Fixed: "maxversion" so product can be installed on vBulletin 4.1.0 and above
-- Changed: version number formatting

very cool. thank you. one queston: will it one day be possible to give also "normal mods" the function? at the moment it only works if you a "super-mod"

It can be done, as the hack (and optional navbar notification) use those specific permissions to check, and they check if a user is in an administrator usergroup or a super moderator group, they can not be used to check if the user is in a moderator group. I would have to rewrite all the permissions, but I am not interested in updating the hack to do it, it works exactly the way I want it to, and apart from the bug I accidentally introduced into v3.8.001 of this hack (I fixed it in v3.8.002), this hack has been working bug free since about December 2006 (I released it here at the end of August 2007).

If I ever need to add permissions for additional usergroups/users for any of my sites (which I have not for over four years), then I will update this hack at that time, but until then I will not be added anything additional on the permissions end of things, sorry.

But if you wanted to do it yourself, you would have to alter the permission in user_moderation.php file, and also all the plugins associated with this hack.
