Checking if someone is a moderator

[MrApples]

How would I check if a someone is a moderator of a specific forum with PHP?

I've tried this but it's not parsing correctly on the foreach argument...

PHP Code:

function forum_is_moderated($fid){
    global $vbulletin, $imodcache;
    foreach ($imodcache["$fid"] AS $moderator)
    {
        if ( $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']; == $moderator['userid'] ) {
            return 1;
        } 
// For first mod        else {
// For first mod            return 0;
// For first mod        }
    
    }
}

can_moderate() Returns whether or not the given user can perform a specific moderation action in the specified forum

boolean can_moderate ([integer $forumid = 0], [string $do = ''], [integer $userid = -1], [string $usergroupids = ''])

• integer $forumid: Forum ID
• string $do: If you want to check a particular moderation permission, name it here
• integer $userid: User ID
• string $usergroupids: Comma separated list of usergroups to which the user belongs

http://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBulletin/_includes_functions_php.html#functioncan_moderate

So you could do something like.

PHP Code:

if(can_moderate(4, '', 1))
{
    //...
}

Thanks, that should work much better.

Does that require including a specific file by any chance?

You'll need to include the vBulletin backend. (Global.php) or You could try mimicking the function by looking at the PHP source for the function in includes/functions.php and writing something similar in your own code.
