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)

1. How stable is it?

3. Are there any boards using this hack so I can take a look at it?

Well at present there is no support for it at all mate.
I am still waiting for some help to eather get it going or remove it!!!!!

Both return empty files , not blank pages
Just the page with the header; MAF Moderator Application Rating Form
and the jellsoft footer ofcourse
But nothing within which am looking for to delete apps or rate them !
The thread posting is correct and everything else except that those two files doesnt not return what i supposed i should find .. right ?

can you open up one of the two files in notepad and post the contents in php tags please.

Xrayhead....... :ermm: :ermm: :disappointed:


Please
Any chance we can have a list of the changes to uninstall and the tables to drop in SQL so I can remove this hack completly??? Thank you

really and truly all i'd be doing is copying and pasting the contents of uninstall.php so you can grab em from there, if you're incapable then let me know and i'll copy and paste into the thread.

1/ very stable, the biggest problem seems to be mysql compatibility and a bug in the email.

2/ not very customisable at all i'm afraid.

3/ many including mine, but please do not sign upto my site just to take a look at the hack.

I've not tested this, but I think you can prevent "pointless" e-mails being sent if you do the following..

Open the includes/cron/maf_cron.php file, find:

	$logmessage = "Moderation Application Auto Proccessing Complete; \n Declination's: " . $declinationemail . ".\n\n Shortlistings: " . $shorlistemail . ". \n\n New Applications: " . $newapps . ".";

	vbmail($vboptions[webmasteremail],"Moderation Application Auto Proccessing (Proccessing Notification)",$logmessage,"From: \"$vboptions[bbtitle] Mailer\" <$vboptions[webmasteremail]>");

	log_cron_action($logmessage, $nextitem);

Replace it with:

	if ($declinationemail != 'None' AND $shorlistemail != 'None' AND $newapps != 'None')
	{
		$logmessage = "Moderation Application Auto Proccessing Complete; \n Declination's: " . $declinationemail . ".\n\n Shortlistings: " . $shorlistemail . ". \n\n New Applications: " . $newapps . ".";

		vbmail($vboptions[webmasteremail],"Moderation Application Auto Proccessing (Proccessing Notification)",$logmessage,"From: \"$vboptions[bbtitle] Mailer\" <$vboptions[webmasteremail]>");

		log_cron_action($logmessage, $nextitem);
	}

nice one, i'll add it, though it should only go around the vBmail thing and not the whole thing
