Moderators Viewing Invisible Members

[Destee]

Hello Everyone ... Again

I originally posted this request for help on vBulletin in September. Merk helped me with it but now that I've upgraded to 2.2.1 the same solution doesn't work anymore. I've looked at the code but can't see anything real obvious. I'm including the dialogue from vbulletin.com. My text is in yellow and Merk's is limegreen. Any help would be appreciated.

I want to give my Moderators the ability to view "invisible" Members ... is there a way to do this without a hack (and/or giving them full access to the CP)?

Im bored, so i did it anyway
Find -

PHP Code:

if ($userinfo[invisible]) {
    $userinfo[hidden] = '*';
    if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) { 


Replace With

PHP Code:

if ($userinfo[invisible]) {
    $userinfo[hidden] = '*';
    if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) { 


7, is my moderator groupid, i do hope that its the same!

Then, in index.php
Find

PHP Code:

if ($loggedin['invisible']==0 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) {
      $numbervisible++;
      $userid=$loggedin['userid'];
      if ($loggedin['invisible']==1) { // Invisible User but show to Admin 


and replace with

PHP Code:

 if ($loggedin['invisible']==0 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6 OR $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==7) {
      $numbervisible++;
      $userid=$loggedin['userid'];
      if ($loggedin['invisible']==1) { // Invisible User but show to Admin 


And that _should_ work

I noticed that usergroupid 6 (admin) is referenced another place in index.php ... should it be edited in some way here too?

PHP Code:

while ($loggedin=$DB_site->fetch_array($loggedins)) { 
$numberregistelimegreen++; 
$invisibleuser = ''; 
if ($loggedin['invisible']==1 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=6) { 


Hey Merk ... it's me again.

I did edit that line accordingly and all is well!

Thanks again.

Good to see people working out their own problems


---------------
Well, that's basically it. I did all of the same again but my Moderators are not able to see the "invisible" users online. Obviously I need to do some additional hacking but I don't know what.

Here's the original thread.

Can someone help me with this please, making it so my Moderators can see the invisible Members that are logged in?

Thanks,

Destee
