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)

No but take part of the code that automates the moderatorship and auto ban a member based on votes and once a member is banned an email is sent out to everyone.A board run by its members.

it doesn't auto moderate them, it just let's em know that they've been shortlisted.

Getting this error when clicking "Delete Applicants", bare in mind there are currently no applicants.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/gamerseu/public_html/forum/admincp/maf_delapp.php on line 69

Also, I'm sure with the step for modcp/index.php, you don't mean replace..

[sabret00the]

oops left some debug code in, and i'll update the instructions, thanks for the notification

[sabret00the]

ok file changed, i'll make the next official update announcement at midnight, hopefully we find any other oversights before then

[Oblivion Knight]

I'd also recommend making a note for people to update the options in the vBulletin Options page. If I didn't look at the code, I'd have posted and asked how the script knew which forum was your "mod" forum..

Hopefully I'll have some more feedback for you once a few of my members have applied.

And I thought you were cool........I used to look up to you.

I really like it. Anyway wondering if there is a way that this application can be see as thread in a special forum after it was filled up and sent away? And that other users can make a vote for it, too?

So forum users can decide if they want an applicant as a moderator or not.

this could be done, but on the way it currently works it checks if theirs any mod apps and if their is it makes one thread to announce it, what you would want is a different thread of each, all in all it's just a matter of playing around with the cron script.
