Hey, uhh... I installed this quite a while ago and it did the trick. Thanks!
But I want to remove it, which is easy... but I'd like to undo whatever it is the hack allows before removing the hack.
Problem is... I can't remember what it was
So I removed the moderators individually, then added a new user (as a test) and the the test user is now a moderator of a forum, which is kinda what I expected.
I can't seem to find where in the heck I undo making a group be moderators for a forum.
I kinda want to laugh and cry at the same time. Please help :erm:

EDIT 1:
Perhaps, through an upgrade, I lost the code that creates the
"Moderator Usergroup Manager" link in the ACP?

EDIT 2:
Yay, back to laughing. Not sure how the nifty files were missing from the folders, but they were, so I put them there, edited the stuff back to default and uninstalled the hack.
The true hack is me, haha.

Hey,

i am from germany - sorry for my bad english ...

I have installed it on vb 3.5.4 and it works ... but i have one problem with it:

The "can edit other posts" funktion is for my forum not realy the best way - i search a way, so a user can edit only its own posts at all time in forum xy and not all posts of all users in forum xy ...

Is there any way to do this with this hack?

Thanks!

Hi Andreas, it works with the forums but it needs to be updated to support the new 3.7.0 moderator permissions for visitors messages, albums & social groups etc.

Thanks again for this time saving hack. :up:

[Andreas]

It doesn't really need an upgrade - the new permissions are not forum-related, and this hack was meant to manage a usergroup for forums.

[EvilHawk]

Of course, you are right about the meaning of this hack sir, but if you assign a usergroup to a forum you can not edit the new moderator permissions for each moderator.

[shadowevil]

It would be nice if the MOD would pick up the colour associated to the group being assigned and display it where applicable.

Does anyone know how to do this? I'd like this to display like this:

Usergroup Name

instead of

Usergroup Name

on my site.

Edit file product-modusrgrp.xml, find:

PHP Code:

$moderator['usergrouptitle'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['title']; 


Replace all:

PHP Code:

$moderator['usergrouptitle'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['opentag'].$vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['title'].$vbulletin->usergroupcache["$moderator[modusergroupid]"]['closetag']; 


It's work in 3.7.x

No it doesn't because you can not edit the new 3.7.x permissions ...

I am seconding this. I am trying to give my mods permissions to mod social groups and I can't since it isn't included in this mod. I can't do it from the mod since the options aren't there and when I try to do it individually it says

You cannot modify this Moderator individually.
If you want to modify this Moderator, modify the Moderator Usergroup

So how do I let my mods mod social groups, visitor messages and user albums?

Hi,

I have been using your plugin for quite a while and recently updated to latest Vbulletin patch. I seem to be having some emails dropping off from being sent since doing this. Is there any chance this could be because your plugin is only good up to 3.5? If so, do you plan on doing an update for 3.7?

Thanks!

Excelent mod, does anybody know why in my forumhome it shows the text " Staff || || || || || " and not only "Staff"

it's very strange, and I don't know how to change it :S
