Moderating

[PGAmerica]

I am looking for a 3.7.xx mod that will allow posts that need to be moderated to stand out boldly from the other posts. Something like a transparent gif over the top of the post that says "Moderation Required" or a change of color or a big bold statement that lets us know that this post needs to be moderated and cannot currently be seen by the masses.

As it stands, an unmoderated post looks just like all the other posts, except their is no post #.

I have seen mods that help with the moderation queue and mods that make moderation easier to deal with, but nothing on this level.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I think you can simply edit the postbit template. Find these lines:

    <if condition="$show['moderated']">
    <td class="alt2" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
    <else />
    <td class="alt1" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
    </if>

And change it to something like:

    <if condition="$show['moderated']">
    <td style="background-color:yellow;" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
    <else />
    <td class="alt1" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
    </if>

yellow is probably a bit, um...., strong, so you may want to pick another color. Or, instead of that you could go:

    <if condition="$show['moderated']">
    <td class="alt2" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
<div style="color:red; font-weight:bold;">This post is moderated.</div>
    <else />
    <td class="alt1" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
    </if>

Or whatever you want.

Works perfectly. Thank you

If you need help, you need to post exactly what you've done. Also, don't forget that you need to do it for whichever postbit you use - postbit or postbit_legacy - or both.

Sorry for my vagueness.

I did exactly the above to no avail. Once I tried it on the postbit legacy though, it worked great.

Thanks for the help!

Just what I need, but for 3.6.3. Could someone suggest what to edit in Posbit/Postbit Legacy in 3.6.3?

Sorry, I realized that it is the same for Postbit Legacy.

Postbit does not have that same <if statement.

It only has:

<if condition="$show['moderated']">
                <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/moderated.gif" alt="$vbphrase[moderated_post]" border="0" />
            </if>

How should Postbit be modified?

You could add this condition anywhere in postbit, probably best right before the code: $template_hook[postbit_signature_start]

Something like:

<if condition="$show['moderated']">
                <span style="color:red;"><strong>This post must be moderated!!!</strong></span>
            </if>

Basically you can put that condition anywhere in postbit and it will make the post stand out.

Thanks for your help! Got something that works well now.

ok - yes I'm an idiot noob who only occasionally gets to manage Vbulletin

I'm looking to implement this in Vb 4.07 but not sure where to add the code
in order to highlight Awaiting Moderation posts in bold

So starting from the admincp
Styles & Templates > Style Manager > vB4 Default Style > Edit Templates > Go

Scroll down to Postbit Templates > doubleclick "postbit"
which will bring up Customize Templateostbit

Am I close? and if so or if not ... where do I add the code?
