Moderators Being Able to modify Styles

[DarkReaper]

What I meant by having them create it is that if they're using the default template, they shouldn't be able to edit it, for obvious reasons, and when they click "Edit templates" it should transparently make a new template set and apply that to their forums, then they'd edit that one instead of the default. It would only have to be created once.

All i really need to know is, what templates do you fellas need your moderators to be able to edit?

I just need to have my mod able to edit part of the header. I would actually like to make a replacement variable for him that I would put above the buttons in the header. I don't want him messing with that stuff.

Would'nt it be cool, to add a new usergroup, so that this usergroup can be edited and the admin can choose which options the moderator can use.
That would give the admin the ability to do a better co-brandig, so the co-branded sites could take care of the their forums for them self.

Any comments ?

This feature is planned for a future release of vBulletin, it is listed in the mod options. So you can just wait for it. It's not that hard to do anyway...

I dont think that this feature ist really planned for a future release. It is only on the "Already Suggested" list.

A new usergroup would be a bad thing. vBulletin already has the support built into it(when you make someone a moderator of a forum, there is the option to allow them to modify the styles, but it says not implemented yet) so all you would have to do is see how they're doing this, and set it up to use the system that's already in place. Of course you would need to code the missing file(s)

But I don't want all of my moderators to change the style of their forums.
I want to specify a usergroup, that can edit the style and everything else of the forum, but only for the forum(s) that I specify. That would be a nice addition for co-branding.

[DarkReaper]

Not all of them can. When you go to a forum in the Admin CP and click Add Moderator, you can specify whether THAT moderator can edit the styles. This way you can make it so some moderators can and can't modify the styles.

Ahhh, ok !

But what about the other features, that would make this to a co-branding hack ?

Any comments ?

Well, the next release isnt planned on being released for a while.

Just because its listed in the mod options means that they are coding it with priority.

I just made use of that option in the mod panel.

But im not sure if i want to release my hack, because of how much code ive changed, its too hard to document it all, and pasting the entire file is against my licence agreement.

So looks like you can either work out how to do it yourself or wait :|
