Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm confused. Doesn't stock vB already have this functionality? I know I can require image moderation. Does stock vB not provide moderation for other types of attachments? Or exactly what DOES this mod do that stock vB doesn't?

Attachment moderation (and notification) is extremely important to me, I'm just trying to understand what needs modifying, and what functionality is built-in.

Thanks!

bump... ?

I'm just asking percisely WHAT this does, in comparrison to stock vB. The courtesy of a response would sure be nice.

What I'm guessing that this does, is just the "per user group" function. From what I can figure out, with stock vB, the moderate attachments are set per FORUM, not per user group, and are either ALL or NOTHING. This changes that by making it per User Group instead, correct? So does this also work with attachments for the CMS?

If I'm correct (and some confirmation would sure be nice), then this mod is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!

Thanks.

[NashChristian]

Gosh, what a BUMMER! Besides absolutely ZERO SUPPORT, this mod fails to live up to its claims as well!

In contrast to your "staff notify" mod, the template modification code is correct and I was able to fully implement the mod, HOWEVER it does NOT have the ABILITY to require moderation on ALL attachment types.

For example, it does NOTHING for Video attachments, using the "Insert Video" icon. It also does NOTHING for images inserted from a URL (not referenced locally).

SO, even with this wonderful mod, a rouge user can still upload porn via still images hosted on the net, or videos on supported video host sites. Meaning that this completely FAILS to protect the admin/site from crap being uploaded.

From what I can gather, this mod does absolutely NOTHING to improve vB's oversight in these content types, it simply takes what little attachment moderation vB has provided, and assigns that on a per USER GROUP basis. So in the case of these two content types, NO MODERATION per USER GROUP still equalls NO MODERATION.

Very disappointing on MANY levels!

Works great, just installed on 4.2.0, but only thing that needs changing is the dependency in the product file, thinks it set for 4.0.9
