Make admins invisible to moderators · **Released**: 12-21-2004

This is a very simple yet useful hack that improves the invisible mode browsing for the admins. It allows administrators to browse the board in privacy and without being seen by the moderators or supermods. They can still be seen and tracked by other administrators.

Can this be ported to 3.5 ?

Julie · #16 01-13-2006, 11:00 PM

Yup, I would too like this ported to 3.5.x! Some of my members are too smart for their own good and are following me around the board! :S

i modified this to work with 3.5.x no errors but it needs some testing to see if it works correctly ...

you can use the same instructions as the original author provded BUT

PHP Code:


			
if(($user['usergroupid'] == 6) and ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6))

                        {

                                $user['invisiblemark'] = '';

                                $onlinestatus = 0;

                        }

should be

PHP Code:


			
if(($user['usergroupid'] == 6) and ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] != 6))

                        {

                                $user['invisiblemark'] = '';

                                $onlinestatus = 0;

                        }

replace all instances of $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] to $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid']($bbuserinfo is an old vbulletin variable)

I followed the original code then applied your updates as stated, however after doing so it removes all Guest user activity. It will show the actual number of guest users, but under "Currently Active Users" they remain invisible. I applied the code in vb 3.5.3 (and now 3.5.4)

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
