Moderator Dropdown Listing

Yeah, I found it kinda annoying how having multiple moderators for one forum would make things rather ugly and cluttery and jumble up my front page. So, I made this nifty little hack ^_^

Features:
- Upon choosing a moderator, it will link to that moderator's profile
- A link to showgroups.php

Download, install, enjoy. Only one edit!! 8)

PHP Code:

Open includes/functions_forumlist.php, find this:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

                // get moderators ( this is why we needed cache_moderators() )
                if ($vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn'])
                {
                    $showmods = array();
                    $listexploded = explode(',', $forum['parentlist']);
                    foreach ($listexploded AS $parentforumid)
                    {
                        if (!isset($imodcache["$parentforumid"]))
                        {
                            continue;
                        }
                        foreach($imodcache["$parentforumid"] AS $moderator)
                        {
                            if ($showmods["$moderator[userid]"] === true)
                            {
                                continue;
                            }

                            $showmods["$moderator[userid]"] = true;
                            if (!isset($forum['moderators']))
                            {
                                eval('$forum[\'moderators\'] = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_moderator') . '";');
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                eval('$forum[\'moderators\'] .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_moderator') . '";');
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if (!isset($forum['moderators']))
                    {
                        $forum['moderators'] = '';
                    }
                }


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Replace it with this:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

                // get moderators ( this is why we needed cache_moderators() )
                if ($vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn'])
                {
                    $showmods = array();
                    $listexploded = explode(',', $forum['parentlist']);
                    foreach ($listexploded AS $parentforumid)
                    {
                        if (!isset($imodcache["$parentforumid"]))
                        {
                            continue;
                        }
                        foreach($imodcache["$parentforumid"] AS $moderator)
                        {
                            if ($showmods["$moderator[userid]"] === true)
                            {
                                continue;
                            }

                            $forum['moderators'] .= "<option value='{$moderator[userid]}'>{$moderator[username]}</option>";
                        }

                    }

$modhack_head = <<< CONTENT

<script>
<!--
function moddrophack_redir(tparam)
{
    if (tparam != -1) {
        location.href = 'member.php?userid=' + tparam;
    }
    else {
        location.href = 'showgroups.php';
    }
}
// -->
</script>

<form method="post">

<select id="moddrophack" onchange="moddrophack_redir(this.options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="-1">--------------</option>

CONTENT;

$modhack_foot = '<option value="-1">View All Mods</option></select></form>';

                    if (!isset($forum['moderators']))
                    {
                        $forum['moderators'] = '';
                    }
                    else {
                        $forum['moderators'] = $modhack_head . $forum['moderators'] . $modhack_foot;
                    }
                }
