Hack info

What does it do? - This basically will allow you to make a Lesser Control Panel for your other Admins...I know I released the "Total Admin Security" hack (link in my profile), but this will allow you to ensure that they cant delete your templates, especially if you put them in a seperate usergroup...

I know you will want a screenshot, so here is a screenshot of my Co-Admin Control Panel...The second Screenshot is of the Co-Admin Permissions...The third is of the Usergroup gone from edit user and add user...The fourth is of the Usergroup gone from search options, and the fifth is from search display options...

Live Demo/Screenshots

Co-Admin Control Panel
Co-Admin Permissions
The name "Co-Admin" is what I determine as "Lesser Admin" - The picture may differ slightly from the screenshot
Usergroup options gone from Edit user & add user
Usergroup no longer a Find option
Usergroup no longer able to be display in searches

Your instructions say...

PHP Code:

find:
-----

//load config
require("./config.php");

// init db **********************
// load db class
$dbservertype = strtolower($dbservertype);
$dbclassname="./db_$dbservertype.php";
require($dbclassname);

$DB_site=new DB_Sql_vb;

$DB_site->appname="vBulletin Control Panel";
$DB_site->appshortname="vBulletin (cp)";
$DB_site->database=$dbname;
$DB_site->server=$servername;
$DB_site->user=$dbusername;
$DB_site->password=$dbpassword;

replace with:
-------------

//load config
require("./../admin/config.php");

// init db **********************
// load db class
$dbclassname="./../admin/db_$dbservertype.php";
require($dbclassname);

$DB_site=new DB_Sql_vb;

$DB_site->appname="vBulletin Admin Control Panel";
$DB_site->appshortname="vBulletin (mcp)";
$DB_site->database=$dbname;
$DB_site->server=$servername;
$DB_site->user=$dbusername;
$DB_site->password=$dbpassword;
$DB_site->connect();

--------------------------- 


But that code doesn't exist. The code looks (in 2.2.9) like this...

PHP Code:

//load config
require("./config.php");
if ($debug != 1) {
    unset($showqueries);
    unset($explain);
}

// init db **********************
// load db class
$dbservertype = strtolower($dbservertype);
$dbclassname="./db_$dbservertype.php";
require($dbclassname);

$DB_site=new DB_Sql_vb;

$DB_site->appname="vBulletin Control Panel";
$DB_site->appshortname="vBulletin (cp)";
$DB_site->database=$dbname;
$DB_site->server=$servername;
$DB_site->user=$dbusername;
$DB_site->password=$dbpassword;

$DB_site->connect(); 


Your instructions would mean you have 2 connect statements in the final code. Also, you have removed the debug lines and the "$dbservertype" line? What's going on?

[Chris M]

@disfitness - That was probably by accident that I removed the

$dbservertype = strtolower($dbservertype);

line...

How do you get 2 connect statements?

[gmarik]

Sounds great - but the screenshots kinda don't show nothingnew to me...

[Chris M]

Hmmm...

There isn't really much they can show other than what they do

Satan

[monstergamer]

if i want them to be able to un-ban or ban some one how can i do this

[Chris M]

Do you mean via vBulletin options?

Satan

Today at 08:25 AM hellsatan said this in Post #178
Do you mean via vBulletin options?

Satan

yes i would like the co-admins to be able to ban and unban via the admin2 CP

[Chris M]

I believe there already is a hack for vBulletin options which restricts it to certain functions...

You could copy the options.php file to the admin2, then install that on that file
