Mods edit access masks including child forums

There was another version around on the board but it had problems with moderators who had access to moderate a forum through inheritance, ie they were moderator of a category. This code is in no way based on the other version, but no doubt will be similar as there isn't really much of a difference you can make.

This is just really an alternative to letting mods ban people from the whole forum, they can simply ban from a single forum.

Once you have done what it says in the instructions when you add a moderator you will have permission to say if they can edit forum access masks for that particular forum. Remember if they are mod of a category and the edit acccess masks option is enabled then all the forums in this category moderated by the user through inheritance have the ability.

Supermods and Admins can edit all access masks via the mod control panel.

This has been tested on
vb 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 they all work
also tested on
vb 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 these also work.

I had a small error in the permissions checking for the updateaccess which i just noticed and corrected, so if you have installed this before November 21st it may be advisable to update the /mod/user.php part which involves the updateaccess part.
Not that your mods would want to change access masks for forums they don't mod

the edit moderator part of /admin/forum.php should look like this

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start edit moderator #######################
if ($action=="editmoderator") {

$moderator=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid,userid,newpostemail,newthreademail,caneditposts,candeleteposts,canviewips,canmanagethreads,canopenclose,caneditthreads,caneditstyles,canbanusers,canviewprofile,canannounce,canmassmove,canmassprune,canmoderateposts,canmoderateattachments,caneditaccess FROM moderator WHERE moderatorid=$moderatorid"); 


you have an error with this part

Sorry for stupid question, I installed it, had no problem, but where is the access mask control panel for mod? I logged in as mod, but couldn't find where, and I did turn access list ON in the control panel option.
