Custom Moderators

[r5e]

I think the problem is that nobody really understands what you are trying to say. Posting a chunk of code from a completely different forum system isn't going to help either.

I've just implemented this on my forum. Follow these steps.

Edit your postbit (or postbit legacy) template. Locate the following line:

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>

After this add:

<if condition="can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $post[userid])"><div class="smallfont">Moderator</div></if>

This will insert the word "Moderator" after the title of anyone who is a moderator, including the admin.

To summarise the requirement for anyone else reading this and figuring out what it is - aveon wanted the posters in a thread to show up as moderators, but only if they were the moderator in a certain forum. So if a given user is a moderator in a forum everyone can see that when he posts the posts are coming from a moderator. But if the user goes to a forum where he is not the moderator he appears as normal - with no moderator title.

The hack as I posted it above is tested to work. It's not very sophisticated, I would prefer it not to display for admins, in which case it would look like this:

<if condition="can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $post[userid]) AND !($post[usergroupid]==5)"><div class="smallfont">Moderator</div></if>

Assuming that your admin group is 5, if it's something else, change it.

Hope that helps.

I've added more functionality. I've now set it up as follows:

• Moderators will have their normal title REPLACED with the word "Moderator", but only for those areas where they have moderator rights, in other areas the normal title will be shown
• Super Moderators will retain their normal title (for example if they have a custom title set) and will have the words "Super Moderator" inserted below their normal title
• Administrators will not be affected, even though they have the rights to moderate.

In the example in the earlier post we located the following line:

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>

Now, instead of inserting after this line we want to delete it and replace it with this:

<if condition="can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $post[userid]) AND !($post[usergroupid]==6 OR IS_MEMBER_OF($post, 5))"><div class="smallfont">Moderator</div><else /><if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if></if>

<if condition="IS_MEMBER_OF($post, 5)"><div class="smallfont">Super Moderator</div></if>

Note: In the above example 6 = Administrators and 5 = Super moderators. Change them as needed.
