Message Editing Hierarchy

Have you ever noticed that Admins and Super Moderators can edit/delete/peak everyone's messages in your forum? This also applies to Moderators for the board they are assigned.

Normally this shouldn't be a problem, but on bigger sites with a lot of Mod's it could lead to problems sometimes.
This is a Plugin version of my vb3.0 hack i released here,

After applying the hack default editing permissions in your board will be changed like this:

• Moderators: Can edit everyone's posts in the forum they're assigned, UNLESS author is another Moderator, SuperMod or Admin.
• SuperModerators: Can edit everyone's post in all boards UNLESS author is another SuperMod or Admin.
• Admins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards UNLESS user is another Admin
• SuperAdmins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards (Superadmins are defined in config.php)

So the hack will apply a "message editing hierarchy" in your board and everyone will be able to edit messages for ones who are below him and cant touch messages of his superiors..If they try, they'll get no permission page. This will apply for editing the messages, deleting the message via edit message or just peaking inside it. But be warned: messages can still be deleted via "Delete Thread / Posts" menu..

If you install this plugin, please click install, thank you..

Enjoy!

actually the plugin was made for 3.5.0 Beta 1.

there was no ajax during that time, so remember that when you imort it

Any plans to rework this for the newer versions of 3.5.x, Xenon?

[Xenon]

plans yes, but right now, it's not on toop of my to do list, there are more important things these days

How can I add a group that can over ride everyone (including admins)?

-been a fan of your hacks since back in the days of 2.8 Xenon, thanks.

nice to hear

well that's an easy task.
the group has to be able to edit posts at all (so it should be a supermod group) and then just change that line from the plugin:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $postinfo['userid']) 


into

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $postinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == xx)
