Using this on VB 4.1.4 with no issues yet Since I don't show who moderates the forums except from the forum leaders page I didn't use the modification suggested.

That is because of how the commas are now applied in vBulletin. So this modification more than likely won't work from 4.1.8 on up.

[fajny_nick]

Thank you for answer.

Is there a simmilar modification for vb 4.1.8 and up?

Installed on 3.8.7, seems to work well. Gives mysql error if you try to add a group to a forum that already has members of said group as mods of said forum - so you have to remove all the mods first. (and I had 52 of this type of 'mod'!)

Otherwise all that I'm missing are a few of the permissions that I don't care too much about, like "edit social group (titles)", etc.

(Would be nice to have it all though)

Thanks for the great mod! I've wanted this a long time.

Does this product change the way VB redirects moderators after performing actions? I'm getting complaints for the staff that they are now redirected to the first page of a forum after changing a thread prefix from within the thread, instead of back to the thread itself.

So, when doing work, they would:
- Go in thread
- Decide a prefix change was appropriate
- Be redirected back into the thread, where they would post saying they've done so
- Hit back button a few times to be back on the page they were on in the forum while making rounds

Now:
- Go into thread
- Decide needs prefix change, changes
- Redirect to first page of forum
- Have to find way back to thread to post reply, and find out what page they were on.

Deal breaker? Maybe. I have a number of people complaining that this is killing productivity/ease-of-volunteering.

Any thoughts?

To make this work on 4.1.11 you need to go into the plugin manager and disable the parts that are hooked into forumbit_display forumdisplay_query forumdisplay_moderator and forumbit_moderator.

This will disable the showing of the mod group name on the pages but it will still work on the back end.

Bumping this. Has anyone successfully ported this mod fully and easily to vb 4.2.x yet?

[JaredC01]

Thanks ssslippy for the info! I had disabled the mod due to the error and lack of need at the time. The need is back, and there's literally no other mod out there that does the same thing.

I've considered rewriting the code for 4.2+ myself, though I'd have to do a bit of homework on the back-end.

If you use slippy's advice, it should work fine. We have it running fine on our 4.2.1 install. I can export our plugin settings if you really need it.
