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)

Nice to see you solved it.

My guess is that you will run into the same problem with loads of other hacks also. Solution would be the same for all.....remove the TYPE=MyISAM or change it to TYPE=ISAM.

I guess everybody still running MySQL 3 will have this problem, i would suggest you look into upgrading.

I was able to install the member choice hack too, using the same method.

On the same line, after it add:

[sql], maf_ratings.timestamp[/sql]
All fixed..

added that fix, thanks

moderate the applications? that's not part of this hack, rate em yes, delete em yes, moderate nope.

[The Realist]

Yes but where is this done from?

Can see anything in the mod panel?
