Moderator Dropdown Pro

What does this mod do?
Instead of the sometimes irritating and plain listing of moderators this will create a very handy select box of all the moderators of a forum, and when you select a moderator it forwards you to their profile or you can just select 'Moderators' and it will bring you to the showgroups page.

What does this mod involve doing?
As per the name of this site, this is a purely template written hack that requires NO editing of files, so it is customizable at your will! Here is a list of actions needed to install this mod:

Templates to edit: 3
Files to upload: 2

Other mod information?
Current version: 1.1
Install Time: 2 minutes
Difficulty level: Easy
Efficiency level: High

Version Changes
3-26-04 - Version 1.1
- Fixed up code for level 2 forums
- Added support for "Moderators" phrase

I have attached a screenshot of an example of this mod.

Without further delay, enjoy!

Installed it exactly as the directions say but it's not working. I'll have to look into it some more, but I'm not quite sure what's going on with it.

What exactly isn't working?

Just installed, very smooth mod. Thanks!

The only thing I changed (and would recommend to change) is, instead of using "Moderators" hard coded in the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post"-template, you should use "$vbphrase[moderators]". It is there already, why not taking advantage of it.

Nice mod, but for me its only working on the mainpage.
In a subforum this causes a strange error showing up some forums in the old way and the other with the mod.

see attachment.

ANY IDEA?

Thanks, I have added this to the updated version.

Hello, I have updated the version to fix this, you simply had to repeat the same replacement step for the second level forums as the first.

*** UPDATED TO VERSION 1.1 ***

I installed this on VB3 gold,and this was the error that surfaced:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home2/hcenter/public_html/includes/functions_forumlist.php(435) : eval()'d code on line 25

How can this be corrected?

It works just fine on version 3.0.1, but I was wondering if is it possible to reduce the width of the drop down menu....
