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)

Okay now, here's the next problem.

it seems that the thread is created everytime the cron runs...

[Gio Takahashi]

Here's a suggestion, See if its possible this way:

When the cron runs the first time, have it to post the thread, and then update the thread whenever someone new made a new application.

Also...see if you can get the script to post WHO has posted the application?

you are aware the cron's suppose to run once a day right? anyway good suggestion though i doubt i'll be the coder of it. this was just something i wanted for myself then decided to share.

[Gio Takahashi]

It is indeed a great thing, and I know that it will be incredibly useful for my forums. That's for sure.

I can't reach there, I got this error:

Invalid SQL: SELECT varname, text FROM phrase WHERE varname IN () ORDER BY languageid DESC
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY languageid DESC' at line 1

while generating the template

you do not need to generate any files, you clicked the wrong thing

goto http://www.yourforums.com/forums/ins...ck_install.php and then click MAF then make sure nothing ticked and then click next.

I have another question. I know someone posted this already but I don't think that you answered it. Maybe you did and I just don't understand what to do. But here are the errors that I am getting.

PHP Code:

Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rpg-game/public_html/vpratice/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

also, did I do this edit correctly?

PHP Code:

// ## Grabs global.php this grabs vbulletins global.php so we can use the most basic of vBulletins functions ##
chdir('www.rpg-gamers.net/vpratice'); //change to your vbulletin path
chdir("www.rpg-gamers.net/vpratice/"); //change to your vbulletin path 


[Gio Takahashi]

You did not, and I believe I told you how to edit it the right way in AIM.

[sabret00the]

nope you never xellos, it should look something like this.

Has the new version fixed the non-functional Shortlisted Applicants in the e-mails?
