Inline Moderation Tools (v1.2.1)

Note: Development of this hack has stopped.
The built-in version is far superior to this hack and has better controls and permission checking. For those of you who will remain on 3.0.x, I will try to support this hack as best I can, but it won't be a top priority. If you plan on moving to 3.5, I hope this hack made your life a little bit easier while you waited .

Current Version: 1.2.1 (Wed Dec 11 15:26:30 PDT 2004)

What this is?
This hack will allow you and your moderators to do your job more effectively by allowing you to mass-moderate. You can perform the same action on multiple threads and posts without leaving the current page!

What is required?
In order to use this hack, you must have cookies and JavaScript enabled! If you don't, this hack will not work. (Note: there is no "alternative display" for people without JavaScript enabled).

How many changes?
Uploads: 2
File edits: 2
And template additions/edits

Support
I will provide all support here in this thread.

Bugs
I have thoroughly tested this hack with as many different combinations I could think of. But I probably have either over looked one or two, or just didn't think of some. If you find any odd behaviour, please let me know!

Changes Since

• 1.2.0
  • Fixed problems with merging threads
  • Enhancement to the merge thread screen
• 1.1.0

  • Template caching
  • Selection boxes only appear when a user is a moderator
• 1.0.0

If you'd like a moderator action added to this hack, post it below and I'll look into it.

Thanks again for the help,

*bump* please!

red_barron2000: this could be caused by the inline moderation cookie expiring. Does this happen every time or only after a certain period of time. Also if you visit another forum or thread while you're selecting inline moderation items, the selected item information will be over-written.

trackpads: I don't know why this would be happening. I took a look at the permissions in the code and all of them appear to be set fine.

As funny as this sounds it was working fine until I upgraded

Tonight I comletely removed it and then reinstalled it and still had the same problem. I then opened the 1.1.0 version and uploaded just the inlinemod.php and now it is working fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

-Jason

Try this:

Upload inlinemod.php from 1.2.1 and find:

PHP Code:

if (!can_moderate($vars['forumid'], 'canmanagethreads')) 


Replace it with:

PHP Code:

if (!can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canmanagethreads'))

No luck. There were 5 occurances in that file of that string and I replaced them all.

Thanks again,

how can i make it so administrators can use this function without adding themselves to every forum as a mod?

[rob_daemon]

Administrators should be able to use it if they are marked as "Super Moderators" in the usergroup management screen.
