Forum Display Enhancements - Admin and Mod Toolbar in Navbar

Description
(Please Note that Version 2.5 has been released!)
(Arabic Translation added! (Credits to Daniel_HBK!)

This is a template modification that will add an "Admin Toolbar" to the navbar if you are an administrator, and a "Mod Toolbar" to the navbar if you are a Mod/Super Mod.

Other usergroups Can Not! see these toolbars!

New! Administrators/Moderators only see links to tools they have permission to use!

Each Toolbar is a dropdown menu with shortcuts to the Admin/Mod panel, and frequently used tools within the Admin/Mod Panel.



By Default, these are the shortcut in each Toolbar:

Administrators

• Admin Panel Home
• Vbulletin Options
• Style Manager
• Usergroup Manager
• Forum Manager
• Infraction Manager
• Search for User
• Ban User
• New Announcement

Moderators

• Mod Panel Home
• Search for User
• Search for IP
• Ban User
• New Announcement

*Links can be customized [easily]! Please check the download for instructions.



Screenshots:





*Please note: In the screenshots above, the Administrator sees both the Admin and Moderator Panel. This glitch was fixed in v2.5, but I am unable to update the screenshots until I reopen my forum.

Tested and working perfetly in vBulletin 3.8.1, althought it should work in all versions of vBulletin newer than 3.5.

Please Click "Installed" if you have used this hack!

For Installation Instructions, Please Download and see the .txt

I welcome comments and feedback!

Nice work, thank you! :up:

This is a cool idea once the permissions thing gets worked out

Next release I'd like to do two things :

1. Check Admin/Mod userpermissions
2. Display only the Admin Toolbar Rather than the Admin and Mod Toolbar to moderators.

EDIT- I found a small typo in the Admin Panel Link (Ban User) I have corrected this, reupploaded the Mod, and sent out an update.

I am very sorry any inconvenience this may have caused.

good work man

and never be depressed

VERSION 2.5 HAS BEEN RELEASED!

Please see the above Post and Instructions in the new .txt (Download Above)!

Please Remember To Click MARK AS INSTALLED if you have used this hack.

Comments and Suggestions Welcome!
------------------------------------------------------------

I'm stil working on a way to check permissions.

So far I've come up with
<if condition="$show['SOMETHING ']">

But I'm not exactly sure what I should Plug in for that something..

Great Mod and Support. Thank you nNJ for your help. Sorry to be so impatient. LOL Just got to excited I guess. Thank again

[nNJ]

I havent had a chance to do anything.. all day.

My webhost has been down, so I ahvent been able to test anything.
Im switching hosts, so It should be ready tomorow.

For the record, what version of vBulletin are you using?

[mrtroybaker]

Im using 3.8.2
