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)

so with that, clicking on any of the links to do with the MAF produces a blank page?

nope. just the rate applications. the other links in the admincp regarding the MAF mod work.

[sabret00the]

for some reason you're modcpdir variable ain't working, what you'll need to do it replace it manually

find:

PHP Code:

 construct_nav_option("Rate Applications", '../' . $modcpdir . 'maf_rateapp.php?do=list', '<br />'); 


replace with

PHP Code:

 construct_nav_option("Rate Applications", '../_____YOUR_MOD_CP_DIRECTORY_NAME_____/maf_rateapp.php?do=list', '<br />'); 


[Yukino_AE]

in the admincp index right?

[sabret00the]

yup, you're editing the previous edit.

[Yukino_AE]

k i did that and it fixed it thanx!!

just as a note before i fixed it when i was in my admin cp and viewing the properties of the maf_rateapp.php

the link showed as forum/modcpmaf_rateapp.php?do=list

i think it should have been showing as forum/modcp/maf_rateapp.php?do=list

shouldn't there be a / between modcp and the maf part? is that something that might be mixed up in your code? i dunno. just thought that might be helpful info.

[unkemone]

install went fine and all but it doesnt start the new thread anywhere. i set it to start in forum id 80 and it doesnt do it.

[Yukino_AE]

when i set that for mine (the start a new thread thing) everytime a user view the forum where that was set for it created a new thread. even though there were only 2 applications waiting to be read i ended up with like 172 threads saying that there were applications waiting to be read. -__-;;

so i took that off and viola it's no long a problem.

just curious if you know what might cause that.
