Moderator Application System 2.0

FAQ:
What Does It Do? it enables your members to apply to be a mod, cuts down on all the asking and stuff

That It? basically

What about the cool back end? ooh yeah, so anyway it will email on the 14th day to either let em know they've been shortlisted or to try again at a later date

How will it know? mod ratings innit, if their under 7 their outta there

Anything else? nah i guess it starts a thread in your mod forum to tell your mods to rate em

How does it know what forum and who's the threadster? you tell em via the admincp options (where the rest of the vboptions are) theirs a handy little group for the MAF and i don't mean 2+2

Ok so that's gotta be it now? nope

What else does it do? it logs it all in the admincp schedules tasks and sends you a copy of the email

Damn who taught you all that? various folks, special thanks to Dean, Marco, OBK and Zero Tolerance who helped me on this specific hack though.

Ok so what's the install like? swift the long thing is the upload

Ok rumour is it needs to run a cron, what's a cron? :squint: it's the automated do-dad in the admincp

How do i set it up? it's so straight forward you could close your eyes and do it, the file you're cronning is called "mas-cron.php" and i recommend running it at 12.30 (that means leave the rest as stars)

Ok so if their an installer? there is indeed, a quick dirty one. no not like that

Well now that's sorted can i install it? please do!

How can i help you become cooler? click install and let's see if i can become hack of the month innit

Bye now? yes go :ermm:

Wait! ain't this the same as the last one? yes but this one runs on 3.5.x :ninja:

in regards to change after 3.5.1, i've seen a few modifications that say only for 3.5.3 up, so that's where some things may have been altered. however I have a few hacks installed on my 3.5.1 board that were designed for 3.5.3/3.5.4

now for my question... I run a club, and have a committee election coming up, I would love to use a system like this to allow people to apply for the positions... Any chance of being able to have a drop down list for what you want to apply for [pre-defined], somewhere up the top of the form?. Obviously without the Moderator application heading because they won't be what they are applying for...

I know this is probably a big ask, but if anyone can write the code to allow for the drop down box and post it here and where to put it, i'd really application it...

With approval from sabret00the to alter the modification... please mate???

thanks guyz,
Kurt

For that sabretooth has to respond to any communication first or post somewhere around here, somehow I don't think that that's going to happen very soon....

Kurtbaker, perhaps you could use the mod in the thread below, probably will take a bit more work though;

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93970

but you can have a fully customized form. And placing it under a link in the navbar isn't that difficult

This is a nice addon especially for bigger boards with different content.

I installed it on my testboard and would like to make some suggestions on this hack, something like kurt suggested before:

- the field for "Timezone" is unneeded I think. The user will set his time zone in usercp and this is not needed for application. If this feature is wanted for some reason make it enable in Acp with a checkbox and then fill it automaticly like $username and eMail

- the whole hack should be the application form for ALL STAFF POSITIONS,
therefore the field "position" should be a scrolldown menu, options should be added and editable via acp.

- an additional field "knowledge" should be added where applicants have to tell something about their skills and knowledge, that should qualify them for desired position.

- the title of hack should be changed to STAFF APPLICATION SYSTEM so it can be used for ANY staff position that is selectable in position field.

I tried to change the templates in this way but there were errors when submitting the form so this have to be included in the scripts for making them working.

hi there i am new to this now i have installed this and runs great but when i try to run the forum/includes/cron/maf_cron.php i get this message

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/madace/public_html/forum/includes/cron/maf_cron.php on line 27
 can anyone tell me whats wrong thanks

[kurtbarker]

hey mate, it was stated that this works out a rating system where moderators rate the member applying...

Idealy I just want a system where when it person applys, it posts the form in the admin section, or even sends it to my email for me to look over...

Does this suit that?

I don't really wanna leave the moderator applications up to my mods, it'll turn into a popularity contest

[Mr_Devlin]

Hi kurt,
I think this could be an option. It's always good to know that applicants were accepted by other mods. In many cases mods have to rate the applications too because they're forum- or group leaders and have to select their assistant mods. So this feature should be an selectable option for those boards who needs it.

I am going to test this on 3.5.4, cuz i used this on 3.5.3 before and it worked...so i will be back whenever with an update...

[Nathan2006]

Thank you very much sabret00the

This is great!

Working fully

Install

Is there anyway to make the User name & Email Address fields UN-editable?

World be something same as this but I have not got a clue on it

This would stop members creating applications for other members

Thanks you for any help
