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!

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

Erm, why ??

[kermit_criminal]

isnt there already the "forum tools". not sure, but isnt this the same thing?

[Paul M]

Not even close to being the same thing .....


It may become redundant in vB 3.5.0 though .....

I have a problem with the tick-boxes it shows as in the attached screenshot.


What I'd like is for the tick boxes to show beside the threads, to the right, but seem to have done something wrong.

Any help appreciated

Make sure you made the FORUMDISPLAY modifications correctly and the threadbit modifications correctly. These two modifications--if not done correctly--would create that effect.

can you enlighten on this, i honestly dont know. Arent all the functions in inline moderator tools also in forum/thread tools which come default? I hope to be proven wrong as i already have inline moderator tools installed and hope it wasnt a redundancy

[rob_daemon]

Yes, all the tools are there -- that's the point. This hack allows you to perform those actions while viewing the forum or the thread without having to go to a separate page. It allows for inline editing.

Well...

What about making it so when a mod moves multiple threads, it's located in the mod log? I don't even think move/closing one thread through Inline moderation is logged (I could be wrong, but I believe that's what I found out).

Not sure if that was suggested or not...16 pages is too many to scan through.

[Crazy Serb]

i just realized what the problem in my case is... after changing FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWFORUM templates' <body> tags, and not getting any of those changes to appear in the actual pages, I looked at the code and realized that the latest version of VBAdvanced CMPS had a lot to do with that. First of all, the pages use adv_portal template to display all the pages, making showthread and forumdisplay pages sort of useless... I'll try adding the code into adv_portal template instead and see what happens.
