MAF: (Moderator Application Form & Application Rating Module)

FAQ:
What Does It Do? it enables your members to apply to be a mod, cuts down on all the asking and stuff

That It? basically

What about the cool back end? ooh yeah, so anyway it will email on the 14th day to either let em know they've been shortlisted or to try again at a later date

How will it know? mod ratings innit, if their under 7 their outta there

Anything else? nah i guess it starts a thread in your mod forum to tell your mods to rate em

How does it know what forum and who's the threadster? you tell em via the admincp options (where the rest of the vboptions are) theirs a handy little group for the MAF and i don't mean 2+2

Ok so that's gotta be it now? nope

What else does it do? it logs it all in the admincp schedules tasks and sends you a copy of the email

Damn who taught you all that? various folks, special thanks to Dean, Marco, OBK and Zero Tolerance who helped me on this specific hack though.

Ok so what's the install like? swift the long thing is the upload

Ok rumour is it needs to run a cron, what's a cron? :squint: it's the automated do-dad in the admincp

How do i set it up? it's so straight forward you could close your eyes and do it, the file you're cronning is called "maf-cron.php" and i recommend running it at 12.30 (that means leave the rest as stars)

Ok so if their an installer? there is indeed thanks to Link and his magical HIS

Well now that's sorted can i install it? please do!

How can i help you become cooler? click install and let's see if i can become hack of the month innit

Bye now? yes go :ermm:











So you heard their was an upgrade and you're wondering just what you have to do right? simply reupload all the files (not including your cron if you wanna be special and then just run the installer, if that gives you trouble just click overrite original settings, all it's gonna do it reinstall the phrases, reinstall the templates and tell you the two file mods to remake.


So you heard their was an upgrade this time around? simply reupload all the files (if you wanna pretend to be uber 1337 just upload the admincp file and the cron folder file)

wow my first hack to get to five pages.

sunshina open the maf_cron.php in a text editor and on line 10 set the directory.

Sabre think you could add the ability to turn it off via Admincp as i state din my previous post i really really need it.. PLEASE!

[sabret00the]

as soon as i the HIS is updated i'll do it shadi, it's just not worth the stress at the moment with certain data caching.

[shadiguy1]

ok man thanks. just wanted to remind yah much appreciated i look forward to it. thanks

Is this mod all sorted out and the bugs and install problems solved now? I want to install it on a design community forum but I will wait untill its done if needed.

Btw when is the next update planned?

[sabret00the]

all bugs are squashed as far as i know.

the only thing that's not done is shadi's request "We are not accepting applications at present".

and that update is hinging on the next update of the HIS installer so i have no idea when it's coming.

Ok installed the mod, have a few problems, it’s a brand new install of 3.0.7

I had no errors when I ran the installer, however;

Every time I run the cron I get this error emailed to me:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: SELECT varname, text FROM phrase WHERE varname IN () ORDER BY languageid DESC mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY languageid DESC' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064
______________________________

And when it posts the notice to the forum after an app has been made, it doesn’t register on the index that there is a new message in the selected forum, ergo nothing is showing up under the last posts or number of post columns on the index page even though there are New Mod Applications To Be Rated posts inside the forum.

_____________________________

And when you go to delete a app:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL:
DELETE *
FROM maf_application
WHERE userid = 1

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '*
FROM maf_application
WHERE userid = 1' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

_____________________________

Server info:

MySQL version 4.0.22-standard
PHP version 4.3.10

Also I set the path in the cron to:
('/home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum/')

Is that correct, it doesnt seem to give a done notice?

Thanks in advance.

[sabret00the]

that seems to be a phrase problems, edit any phrase to do with this hack and then resave it.

[ShawnV]

Are you referring to the Moderation Application Form settings in VBoptions?

Username & forum ID?

Yes, as I said it’s posting the "New Mod Applications To Be Rated" in the forum.
