Moderators shown under Forum Description

Update: Fixed the table inside the UserCP If user has subscribed forums.


NOTE: My forum is using a template alteration where you can collapse the forum descriptions and the thread/reply count away and not be bothered by them so I really need an actual LIVE DEMO. Thank you.

damn you beat me to it..... oh well... good work

lol You was going to release something like this? @_@ Nice. :p

yea i have done this for all versions of vbulletin since 2.1.something i think but i was thinking of releasing it for 350... but its ok yours is probably better

What I am thinking is that this should be an option in the vBOptions from the get go.

I think showing the moderatrors under the description makes more sense.

Also...on a side note, would it make sense (for template edits) to create a script which will pull the whole template into a variable then to an ereg_replace() on that variable for the parts that need to be replaced....HMMMM...

I think I'm gonna try something like this.

Agreed. :)

That was how I had it when I was on IPB. :p

I'm not that good with PHP. :( That is why I just wrote the instructions like I did. :)

I think everyone writes them out. I'm sure there's a reason it hasn't been done yet, i think that template edits should be a manual thing though, even if it's just for the educational factor.

True.. Sometimes someone has heavily edited templates which may or may not even work with a php preg_replace function. I however, do prefer template edits to be a manual thing as if there is an error, I can fix it right away. :)

UPDATE: I have noticed a small template error within the user control panel if the user had a subscribed forum. I have fixed that error. Just redownload the txt file and do steps 30+ if you have already installed this. :) Thanks

Worked great, thanks!
