Moderator Application System 2.1
 

FAQ:
What Does It Do? it enables your members to apply to be a mod, cuts down on all the asking and stuff

That It? basically

What about the cool back end? ooh yeah, so anyway it will email on the 14th day to either let em know they've been shortlisted or to try again at a later date

How will it know? mod ratings innit, if their under 7 their outta there

Anything else? nah i guess it starts a thread in your mod forum to tell your mods to rate em

How does it know what forum and who's the threadster? you tell em via the admincp options (where the rest of the vboptions are) theirs a handy little group for the MAF and i don't mean 2+2

Ok so that's gotta be it now? nope

What else does it do? it logs it all in the admincp schedules tasks and sends you a copy of the email

Damn who taught you all that? various folks, special thanks to Dean, Marco, OBK and Zero Tolerance who helped me on this specific hack though.

Ok so what's the install like? swift the long thing is the upload

Ok rumour is it needs to run a cron, what's a cron? :squint: it's the automated do-dad in the admincp

How do i set it up? it's so straight forward you could close your eyes and do it, the file you're cronning is called "mas-cron.php" and i recommend running it at 12.30 (that means leave the rest as stars)

Ok so if their an installer? there is indeed, a quick dirty one. no not like that ;)

Well now that's sorted can i install it? please do!

How can i help you become cooler? click install and let's see if i can become hack of the month innit ;)

Bye now? yes go :ermm:

Wait! ain't this the same as the last one? yes but this one runs on 3.5.x :ninja:

To Upgrade just run install the new product.xml please see the upgrade.txt for more details

To Uninstall just remove the product

What's new? you can now add your own questions and stuff

For real? for real.

One more thing? sure.

What's the difference between 2.0 and 2.1? Not a whole lot, just phrased the front end and fixed a long standing db table prefix bug.


Screens: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1354989 Thanks to yoyoyoyo for making up for my laziness.

The first!!

Awesome, have been looking for this :)

Works Good!!!

So only mods can rate this?

Very useful .. thanks for updating sabret00the

That's what i need, hope it works for a future vB releases!
Thanks for sharing, I try it out on my test board first...

great to see more releases from you sabe - thanks for this one. I love the way you describe your hacks - very entertaining.

After clicks on Rate Applications

very good

BR.,

Could not find phrase 'mas_dontlie'.

I logged in as another member and tried applying and got this:


I filled in all of the spaces, and left no box untouched, however the applications went through.

Also, is there some way to make it so the mods and admin are notified when someone submits an application?

yup only mods/admins can rate applications.

fixed. i'll upload the new zip file shortly.

thanks, though i copy and pasted from the 2.0 version. i'll have to try and do something new for my next release.

fixed. new zip coming in about half hour.

you didn't fill out the admincp options. i'll make a cleaner error screen that explains that.

great mod m8 very usefull :P

ok thanks - sorry for the confusion about not filling out the admin cp options. Now I also see how to change the questions displayed.

Here is a screenie for you to use of the ACP settings, as well as a few others.

Also - is there a way to change it so the person has to get an 8 or better, or 9 or better, etc.?

just test , this is the problem

Updated files uploaded.

Bro , in modcp same problem: {2.1.1}

instead of writing over the product try uninstalling and reinstalling

i am in testing , :) waiting....

oops, you'll have to replace the mas_rateapp.php in order to get rid of that error. in fact most of the fixes require file replacements. you also have to replace modapp.php in your forums directory. i'll update the upgrade instructions to specify that

But suppose member want to rate when a thread is opened? Or an email that alerts mods and the admin someone to rate it.

I'm not really sure what you're asking, a thread is made in the specified forum to let the mods know there's a thread waiting to be rated.

mine works fine.

I dig it..BUT...registered users still can see the post..and then get curious and want to rate also..alot of people like to rate for members too!..and I figure it would be fun for them to help rate users along with us. And the email that i mentioned...is when someone applies it can either alert of via pm or email that someone filled out the app. Suppose we aren't logged on to see the board..but get email alerts etc etc.

have it sent to a private forum that only staff can see

Wouldnt it be better if the form itself showed up in the forum after they hit submit, instead of the
Somewhat like This?

Are there options to disable certain things about the mod and all?

Thanks for this hack.

Can we do the following in the future upgrade?

1. Approval / disapproval option in the mas_rateapp.php
2. Once rating is finished delete application of the user rating from mas_rateapp.php because over the days it gets jubmled up with large no of user.
2. Auto PM after a member is made moderator or disqualified and teling him to reapply again

Is there no notification right now for the applicants?

Installed. Thanks:D

Installed, great job.

thx for the update fixed sql errors :P

Installed. It could be helpfull!

Thanks

Good-work

Also I think this need to open rate from the mod option for the members too for who have a small staff, me for example have only one global moderator and two special groups, but they aren't moderators, this suppose only one can rate the application.

now i get you. i would suggest sending it to a staff forum as yoyoyoyo suggested. feel free to post suggestions for a future version. i'm not sure when i'll get time to implement them. but nonetheless.

would it be better? i'm not so sure. not for my needs at least, but maybe for yours. it would however cause problems with rating the applications.
