It does matter, cause you might/will get template compile errors otherwise

Jeez........... I know that... I'm just giving you an ESTIMATE of what the code should be. -.-

Perfect hack kirbyDE. This should be standard.

I found five small cosmetic problems and it would be nice to get an update for this.

1. If you add a group as moderator for a forum and its subforums then you will see in ADMINCP - Show all moderators only the top forum.
This list should contain also the subforums like if you add the mod to every single board.

2. Admincp - Manage forums. In the last column you can add single moderators. If you add a group as moderator to a forum you see there that the forum has 0 moderators.
There should be the moderatorgroup listed.

3. I wanted to add a group + a single user to a forum. I added the group and then the single user and on the forumhome I can see that the group is gone.
There should be group+user or?

4. If you click on the moderator group on the forumhome page the link points to the show forum leaders page.

5. Admincp - Moderator Usergroup Manager
I am using a group that is not displayed there.
In such cases it would be nice if all users are shown by hovering the moderator group link on the forumhome page

5. See point 1. All forums including the subforums should be listed there.

Kind regards
jluerken

1) This is standard vBulletin behaviour for Moderators and can't be changed without file edits

2) For me it shows all users of the usergroun then ...

3) For me it shows the single mod and the usergroup

4) This is intended behaviour. Where else should it link to?

5) I don't understand that

Maybe you can tell how this will work as optional step?

Only the last that I entered. Mod OR Modgroup

Its currently linking to showgroups.php (Forum Leaders).
If the moderator group is not listed on the forum leaders page this link makes no sense.
Maybe hovering the link can show the mod names?

You could not. I was typing much to fast and missed a part

I was talking about the moderator group page itself.
If you add a moderator group to a forum again only the top forum is displayed.
Like you told us in point 1 I think this could also be only fixed with file edit or?

Why should the group not be listed?
Doesn't make sense to me, as the users must know who are moderators.
Anyway, it is possible to make the usernames a title attribute, but that would require another query.

I have internal clan forums where the clans can organize themself but I don't want to show them on the forum leader page cause they are no forum leaders.
They can manage their forum but they're not belonging to my official staff.
Therefore I turned off the option to show those groups on the forum leader page.
Members who want to know who can moderate the board can still see this if they have access.

I don't know either

Only thing I can say is that it works just fine on my system.
