Mini Mods - Moderation menu (Navbar Dropdown)

Moderation menu (Navbar Dropdown)

Moderation menu (Navbar Dropdown)
By: Roms
Easy, about 1-2 mins

This simple modification adds a dropdown menu to the navigation bar
with moderation links. The main link is only visible to staff members.

Only those staff members who can use the Moderator CP can see the main link, only Admins can see the Admin links (Admin CP, Users) in the drop down...

Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification. (See Mod Options >)

Please make sure you click INSTALL if you use it.

How can I get another nav bar like the one in the above website. My guess would be its located some where in the header or nav bar template. Any input would be helpful so I can not clutter my original with more links. I need this user friendly Mod for my site.

Thanks & God Bless !!!

I've went into the navbar template & copied the Nav bar section twice then pasted above breadcrumb section. I took out the unnecessary links like: Search, Faq Register, etc.

I seem to be answering my own questions

God Bless !!!

Thanks for this, exactly what we were looking for.

Admins see the moderation link in the navbar and access works but when signed on as moderator it does not show in the navbar. Is there something to set or change for regular mods to see the moderation link in the navbar?

Thanks!!

Thanks, great and usefull Hack

But this mod waste the w3c forum validation if anybody like me have, the code need to be fixed

Line 266, column 35: end tag for element "a" which is not open .
<tr><td class="thead">Moderation</a></td></tr>

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.

Anyone who you want to see the links needs to be a super moderator or an administrator.

You can change the permission statements but it wont do you much good if the member can't even use the Moderator CP. For more info search for facts on this site about changing the <IF> tags in my code. That's as much info as I'll give about this subject. Support is given for the modification in it's present state, not altered. This modification was meant for super moderators or administrators. They will be able to see the links.

Thanks
