[vb 3.0.1] Quick Ban

Since the Modcp link is gone from the bottom of the
page my moderators needed a quick way to ban a user without going
to the modcp. So this hack adds aoption to Ban a user directly from
the offending post, via the drop down menu link by the users name.
This is Moderator Forum Specific, which means moderators can only ban
users in their own forum, and not in another moderators forum. Also a
moderator can not ban any of the forum Administrators.


This Hack is Based on Erwins Warning System/Automatic Ban Hack and Magnus's Add On.

Dont forget to click Install

Nice mod! Will come in handy.

a small update... i added a link for unbanning someone... if you want to add it just follow the instructions again and uncomment the line where it says

//Unban//

delete those characters and your done..

the Unban link will obviously only work on a user thats currently banned

enjoy

anyway to make it so its not moderator specific, just if your a admin or supermod it works?

**Edit** nevermind ignore my newbness

Find This

	<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])">

and replace with this

	<if condition="($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)">

for just supermods and admins

Very nice thanks!

When trying to change it to smod & admins only... i get

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3028) : eval()'d code on line 228

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

**EDIT** Nevermind I found the error you forgot to add a ) after ==6 so it should look like

	<if condition="($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)">

**EDIT Number 2** What do you put if Administrator is your Secondary Usergroup?

im not too familiar with secondary groups but i think it would be something like this

	<if condition="($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 || $bbuserinfo[membergroupids]==6)">

although im not too sure... i dont have any admins on a secondary group .. if you can try that code and post results it would be appreciated
