Moderators can see the Mod CP link

Thanks to cyberhypnotic for fixing my mistake.

Just a simple hack to allow your moderators to view the Mod CP link just like your Super Moderators and Administrators can.

Open your Footer template.

Find:

<if condition="$show['modcplink']"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> -</if>

Replace with:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == '6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Super Mod Group ID' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Moderator Group ID'"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> -</if>

Screenshot isn't needed. This should work on any version of vBulletin 3.5.x or vBulletin 3.0.x.

You can get the 3.0.x version here.

Please make sure that you enter the correct groups.

seam to be a problem in 3.5.2

could you please make one that works with it?

error

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 60

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

forum error after clicking continue

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in public_html/global.php(513) : eval()'d code on line 60

Uncomment the bold line, and comment out the line below it.

And replace it with:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == '6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Super Mod Group ID' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Moderator Group ID'"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> -</if>

It worked that way. My only concern is that I was hoping it would allow ONE of my forum Moderators access to that ModCP. Does anyone know how to allow that in a code somewhere? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for the working code. This hsould be placed in the first post.

As far as one mod goes, try this:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == '6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Super Mod Group ID' OR $bbuserinfo[userid] == 'Moderator USER ID'">$vbphrase[mod] -

Yeah that works. I didn't realise moderators didn't have access.
