Threadmins
 

[high] [/high]
Why did you code something with such a silly name?
I got bored of doing purely RPG work, so I thought I would whip up something else for a change. And thus, I bring you, Threadmins v1.1!

And what exactly am I looking at?
For those that wonder what a "Threadmin" is, it's a "Thread Admin". Basically, a Forum Administrator with Can Administer Threads will be able to delegate thread management permissions to select users. By default, this kind of administrator will be able to quickly access the Threadmin Management through an item in the dropdown menu you get when clicking an username, however the page variable string can be altered to allow management of users not having posted in the thread as of yet (example is threadmin.php?t=6&u=6 even if userid 6 didn't post in the thread).

What's the skinny on this hack? What will it be doing to my forums?

• File Changes: 0
• Template Changes: 1
• Tables Added: 0
• Tables Altered: 1
• SQL Queries Added: 0

As you can see, it won't add any load to your forums, so you are perfectly safe using this mod :)

Why should I use this mod?
Maybe you want someone to be able to manage his own RolePlaying thread without giving him full moderator permissions over the entire RP section. Maybe you want to give someone a trial run as a full-fledged Moderator by seeing how he handles himself in a live thread.
Or maybe you are feeling nice and want to increase my ego by giving me more install clicks ;)

So how do I get this up and running?
Simple :)
Extract the zip, upload the .php file to your forums directory, import the product through the AdminCP, edit the template as per the readme.
You are done :)

Will you add feature x?
Maybe :p
Post it and I will try to get back to you when I have the time.

Whoops, I need some help! Can you help?
I will try to, but I can't promise rapid replies because of time restrains. I don't see how this mod could require any support, but if your forums should self-destruct for no apparent reason, I will get back to you when I have the time :)

Thanks a lot for this mod Revan, do you want some PayPal money?
I don't require donations, but they are most appreciated :)

Please note that my Paypal account is Unverified, so I will not be able to accept Credit Card direct charges. Please "upload" some money to your Paypal account and send it to me from there if you wish to donate.
Thanks in advance :)

I don't have PayPal but I would like to show my support, what can I do?
Leave a nice message saying thanks and a click of the install button. Yep, that should do the trick :)

What's happened in the course of this mod?

• 3rd June 2006 - v1.0
  Initital release
• 4th June 2006 - v1.1
  • Fixed a security issue, thanks to Alan-CIT.
  • Fixed a bug where adding a Threadmin to multiple threads would cause permissions to be overwritten.
