Re-useable Code  
No support by the author.

On my forum, it is my belief that users need to be notified when moderator actions have been applied in a thread.
I.e. certain posts were edited, deleted, moved, or if the thread was moved, etc.

Usually I just type in blue font to distinguish such notes. However, anybody can use blue text so it was nothing special.

Well I created a fairly simple BB Code with CSS Table formatting.

It allows you to use a BB Code tag to distinguish the notes. For example, I could enter
Quote:
"[moderation]This thread has been moved to the Chit-Chat section[/moderation]"
and the outcome is displayed at the bottom of this post (Attechment: Screen1.jpg)

The horizontal rule ( <hr> ) is included.

You can customize the CSS to have the dashed border display in a different color, as well as change text size, font, color, etc.

To create this BB Code:

AdminCP -> BB Code Manager -> Add New BB Code

Title:
Code:
Moderator Notes
BB Code Tag Name:
Code:
moderation
Replacement:
Code:
<hr><br>
<style type="text/css">
table.sample {
    border-width: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
    border-spacing: 2px;
    border-style: dashed dashed dashed dashed;
    border-color: green green green green;
    border-collapse: separate;
    background-color: white;
}
table.sample th {
    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    border-style: inset inset inset inset;
    border-color: gray gray gray gray;
    background-color: white;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
table.sample td {
    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    border-style: inset inset inset inset;
    border-color: gray gray gray gray;
    background-color: white;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
</style>

<table class="sample">
<tr>
        <td><fieldset><legend>Important Moderator or Administrator Note</legend><font size=3><font color=blue>{param}</font></fieldset></td>
</tr>
</table>
Example:
Code:
[moderation]important note here[/moderation]
Use Option:
Code:
No
Remove Tag if Empty:
Code:
Yes
--
All other settings are optional. I have also uploaded an basic letter "M" for "Moderation" to use as a button for this code. It is already resized to 21x20.

--

Finally, to prevent regular users from using this BB Code, install Abe1's Advanced BBCode Permissions Modification.

Hopefully I've covered everything

I just installed the mod and it works fine, but I was wondering if there's any way to display the name of the moderator that wrote the comment. This would be useful especially when adding notes to posts written by other users.

I tweaked it a bit, too, until everyone was happy.

Our staff team loves it. Thanks!

Um.

Why does "important note" here appear in the moderation message instead of what I type?
