I've got the same problem. Moderators do get to see the links, but I, the administrator, Don't.

That's not good

I'm uninstalling the hack, but now i have another problem.

Because the template system of vb2 sucks, i've edited the templates through phpmyadmin. Because of that, i can't simply 'revert to original'.

Normally, I can just follow the hack backwards, and so uninstall the hack.

But in these hack instructions, there's only

************************************************
* Replace everything between the following two lines:
************************************************

<!-- forum rules and admin links -->
...
<!-- /forum rules and admin links -->

************************************************
* With:
************************************************

but not the original code.

Now i don't know to what i have to change it to!!!

Fiished. Finally.

I had to beg my host for a second database, and installed vb2 again, temporarily, and then copy the original showthread and forumdisplay templates to the ones that are ****ed up.

I hate the way vbulletin2 is going with the templates. If vb2 had the same template system as in 1.1.x, then i didn't even have to use phpmyadmin, but i could do it in the control panel!

I'm strongly considering uninstalling vb2, despite all the good features that my users love.. and installing 1.1.6..

/me Out.

I'll update the package as soon as possible and take a closer look at the issues described here. I'll also update installation instructions.

The wierd thing is it works perfectly on my site.
If anyone experience any problems, feel free to describe them here as X-PhoeniX did.

I've found template system in vB 2.0 more valuable and efficient than in older versions. I've never been forced to use phpMyAdmin or whatever else to edit my templates or even worse, repair them. I have to confess I experience less troubles with vB 2.0 than with vB 1.1.x. My users love new features and new version so do I.

I really can't know what you have between those lines now. This hack was written for a fresh install of vBulletin.
Feel free to contact me, I'll try to help you as much as possible to make it run if still interested.

Then I would like to know what troubles you ran into with the template system of vB 1.1.x?
Cuz that one has always worked perfectly for me, in contradiction to the template system of vB 2..

Yep you're right, you couldn't know what i had between the lines..

I should have written it to a file or something, my mistake

Sorry to post all this in 'your' topic, i just was a little pissed-off

I've got it all working again.. Thank goodness

Oh and the ismoderator function you're calling.. doesn't it only get the moderators for that forum, and not the admins?

If that's true, then that's the cause of my problem, and probably of someone i read higher up in the thread..

All hacks are use at your own risk.

Remember they are doing it for free!

PeF, does this add a query to showthread to check for moderator status?

Oups sorry pef
