REQ: Moderators to register users

[dombi]

I would like to ask someone to create a hack so that moderators could register new users too. I would like them to be able to create regular board users (maybe even users with privileges predefined by the admin), but no other moderators, or admins.

Basically our board is set up with closed registration, and right now only the admin can add new users. Adding the option so that moderators could register users would help out by a lot. Thank you vey much,

hmm, try to copy/paste the add user part from your admin/user.php to mod/user.php, just change it so the usergroupid is hardcoded to 2...

Thank you for your reply.
I am not an expert in php and mysql, and I really do not have a clue on how to do that, or what I should do. Can you post maybe some guides, please.

Thank you,

no problem

open your admin/user.php
find this:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start add ####################### 


copy all lines this included up to this line:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start email password ####################### 


paste them into mod/user.php below this:

PHP Code:

cpheader(); 


then find this line (one of the pasted lines):

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,usergroupid,username,password,email,styleid,parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,showemail,invisible,usertitle,customtitle,joindate,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,lastpost,posts,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm,ipaddress,pmpopup,options,birthday) VALUES (NULL,'$usergroupid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ausername))."','".addslashes(md5($apassword))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."','$userstyleid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppauser','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signature)."','$adminemail','$showemail','$invisible','".addslashes($usertitle)."','$customtitle',$joindate,'$cookieuser','$daysprune',$lastvisit,$lastactivity,$lastpost,'$posts','$timezoneoffset','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$emailonpm','".addslashes($aipaddress)."','$pmpopup','$options','$birthday')"); 


and change '$usergroupid' into 2.
then it should work.

last step is just to add a linkcode to mod/index.php so mods can click on add users
