The only way I can see to get it to work would be modify the can_moderate function. The problem is that there is only 1 hook in can_moderate (in 3.5.1 anyway) and it is not in a useful position.

In a later version, they may have added more hooks.

The code required is pretty simple.

In /includes/functions.php there is a section of code:

PHP Code:

.
                $return = false;
                if (!isset($vbulletin->bf_misc_moderatorpermissions["$do"]))
                {
                    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('can_moderate_forum')) ? eval($hook) : false;
                }
                return $return; 


Your best bet would be to find 'can_moderate_forum'.

You then need to add

PHP Code:

.
                if ( $forumid == 120 )
                    {
                    $return = true;
                    } 


before

PHP Code:

.
                return $return; 


120 in the above code is the forumid of the forum you want to enable. If you want to enable multiple forums, you can just paste the code once for each forum you want to enable.

What is really annoying is that the hook is in exactly the right place, but it doesn't get activated unless the if branch is true.


NOTE: the . in the above php snippets are just for formatting, they shouldn't be copied into the code.

Great help Lieva!

Before I try it I just want to check if this will only allow others to edit the post without the rest of moderating options such move, delete etc. ???
