MAF: (Moderator Application Form & Application Rating Module)

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 "maf-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 thanks to Link and his magical HIS

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:











So you heard their was an upgrade and you're wondering just what you have to do right? simply reupload all the files (not including your cron if you wanna be special and then just run the installer, if that gives you trouble just click overrite original settings, all it's gonna do it reinstall the phrases, reinstall the templates and tell you the two file mods to remake.


So you heard their was an upgrade this time around? simply reupload all the files (if you wanna pretend to be uber 1337 just upload the admincp file and the cron folder file)

ok can you two do me a favour and find (in admincp/maf_delapp.php)

PHP Code:

    $DB_site->query("
        DELETE(*) 
        FROM maf_application
        WHERE userid = $getuser[userid]
    ");

    $DB_site->query("
        DELETE(*)
        FROM maf_ratings
        WHERE userid = $getuser[userid]
    "); 


and replace it with

PHP Code:

    $DB_site->query("
        DELETE 
        FROM maf_application
        WHERE userid = $getuser[userid]
    ");

    $DB_site->query("
        DELETE
        FROM maf_ratings
        WHERE userid = $getuser[userid]
    ");

So can you confirm this for me.

This hack allows members to apply as a mod on a forum. Once the application goes in its there for staff to rate and comment on for 14 days, if the applying member gets more that 7 as an average his application is approved.

So what happends to there application after 7 days if they get over the average of 7 and what happends to it if they dont get to the 7?

shortlisted, left where it is, nothing happens, it's upto you to deal with it, talk it over with your super mods and decide if you have time and space for them. this will not change their usergroup or anything near that.

if however they score less than an average of 7 the application is deleted.

Does the hack automatically inform the member thats applying there application has been deleted. Could there be an option for staff to stop a member that has already applied and failed for a set number of days, weeks etc otherwise once there application is removed they can just apply again.

Okay, the ModCP thing is figured out. However, it doesn't automatically start threads in the specified forum.
