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
  • (Hopefully) resolved all JavaScript issues
  • Merge threads
  • Removed search results moderation ability (it was too much work to maintain and a user could bypass the protection if he knew how the hack operated)
  • Bug with not updating all user fields in post merge
  • Bug with checking for the wrong permissions when deleting a post
  • Template caching
  • Selection boxes only appear when a user is a moderator
• 1.0.0
  • Fixed search results
  • Added small announcement patch

Fixes For 1.2.1
The following fixes are in in the next version:

• Instructions typo for threadbit template
• Attachments are lost when merging posts The download has not yet been updated with this fix!

On The To-Do List

• Usergroup permission for inline moderation

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

What are the screen shots of?

• Thread listing with inline moderation
• Post listing with inline moderation
• Merge posts screen
• Result of merging posts
• Split thread screen

Don't forget to click install!!!

Are you viewing multiple threads or forums at the same time as selecting items for moderation?

I only have one window open meaning I am only viewing a single topic and am trying to split some of the posts out of the topic (using the check marks). I noticed that the "go" button doesn't show the number of boxes checked like it did before.

This means the system isn't being initialized. If it doesn't read "Go (0)" when the page is fully loaded, then there's something wrong with the templates or you don't have the JavaScript file uploaded. Check to make sure that the HTML of threads and forums link to the inline_moderation.js file and that the file actually exists.

Ok I double checked that and all appears the way it should. Here is more info....

This problem is occuring ONLY when try to moderate individual posts:

In the first graphic example, I have checked 4 posts that I want to split from this topic and see the inline mod tools GO button has no (#) on it.

But the Inline Mod is working for the actual topics:

In the 2nd graphic example, the GO button has the correct amount of topics that I checked and allows me to pick a choice from the dropdown.

I don't know what I've done wrong but this Mod has been a really good time saver and I am lost without it any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you post in HTML tags the HTML source of a thread page. I'm at a loss as to why this doesn't work.

</div><hr size="1" style="color:#D3C3A6" /><!-- / icon and title -->
<!-- message --><div>There has been a lot of discussion recently about raising the minimum wage (which I am entirely against)<br />
<br />But a few years ago, many business owners, (fast food and such) were asking for a minimum wage for teenagers. They pointed out the work ethic just wasn't there yet and these kids didn't quite deserve minimum wage. They were asking for a special minimum wage for teens.<br />
<br />
I think this is a Cracker Jack idea. I know the teen members of this forum will be jumping on me, but that is fine. I think with my head, not my emotions.<br /><br />
Take for example the cashiers at the fast food places. How many times have they charged me for a regular coffee rather than a senior coffee. They then have to figure out in their head how much to reimburse me. You would think they were trying to figure out how to send a man to the moon.<br />
<br />By being able to pay less to their teenage employees, the employers would be able to hire more teens. Rather than one person trying to do so much, they could have a bigger crew. By having a job, we have less kids on the street letting air out of tires and knocking my mailbox off its stand.<br />
I thank you.</div>

I'm not sure if the above is what you wanted....I cut out all but a few of the actual posts on the page.

Thanks again for your help.

[rob_daemon]

I need the code from the whole page, from <html> to </html> to troubleshoot the problem completely. Also if you can use the [html][/html] BBCode tags, that'd be helpful, too .

[YLP1]

Here is the whole code and thank you for all your help on this.

The file size is to big to post html to /html ......I'm not sure how to get this source code to you except that one can view the source of the actual page from the link http://www.yourlincolnpark.com/LPSF...read.php?t=4415.

Let me know how I can send you the source code.

Thanks again for all your help.

[rob_daemon]

I need to be able to see what a moderator sees to analyze the page. Can you copy the source code and just stick it in a .TXT and attach it?
