Moderation Queue on FORUMHOME

Moderation Queue on FORUMHOME

What does this do?
Adds a Moderation Queue displaying:

• Users needing Moderation
• Threads needing Moderation
• Posts needing Moderation
• Attachments needing Moderation
• Events needing Moderation

Features
Queue stored in collapsable container.
Easily customizable and best of all -- NO Template Edits!
Linked directly to AdminCP/ModCP Moderation Pages.

Installation
1. Download and Unzip the attached ZIP file.
2. Upload includes/xml/bitfield_modqueue.xml to your includes/xml directory.
3. Import the Product XML File.
(Cont'd) 3. If you're Upgrading -- Set Overwrite to YES when importing the XML File.
4. Go to your AdminCP - Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Pick A Usergroup -> Set 'Can View Moderation Queue' to Yes - To allow Usergroups to view the Queue. (See Note Below!)

Version History
1.00 - Initial Release
1.01 - Bug fix: Event SQL had missing tableprefix - Download latest version!
1.02 - Now uses Usergroup Permissions - Download latest version!

Notes
With version 1.02 comes the ability to allow multiple Usergroups the permission to view the Moderation Queue. It should be noted however, that this hack currently pulls ALL Events Needing Moderation. This means that if you're planning on using this with Moderators who can, for example, only Moderate Forum A, then this hack will show ALL of the events needing moderation, not just those in Forum A. The capability for Moderators to only be shown their specific Moderation Events will be coming in the next version.

One fix I can think off the top of my head is that you'd need to change the forumhome_complete plugin I use that says where to put the Queue. The plugin is called Moderation Queue HTML -- click Edit on that and change '$navbar' to '$navbar2'. That should fix it, but if not, I'll take another look.

tried what you mentioned but they removed your mod all together, so reverted back to normal and all ok,still missing my second navbar will have a look this morning and get back to you

If the template was reverted, most likely your $navbar2 variable was removed. If you're willing to try again, I'm certain that applying the change I mentioned would work for you. But that's up to you.

Yes there are probably allot of modifications to my forumhome (ShoutBox, top10 stats,...).

The usergroup of Administrators are the default ones (I never changed), but once I can show it on my homepage I will edit to show to moderators and stuff.

Was hoping maybe you could make a version that allows you to place it yourself on forumhome? Since I think many people will have trouble with it like me.

And if I add buttons for example to my forum template. On the vBulletin Default Style I have to edit navbar to add buttons. For my ExtremePixels styles Air & Fusion I have to edit header for it.

All my plugin does is look for the string: $navbar in your forumhome template. It's a unique string that should be in everyone's template, except for occassional change, as in Sam Anders' case in which there are $navbar and $navbar2.

If you'd like to position the Queue yourself, just go into the Plugin system and disable the 'Moderation Queue HTML' Plugin in the forumhome_complete category. Then take the contents of the template forumhome_moderationqueue and position them as you please. But you should note that the Queue will only work on the forumhome, if you want to put it on other pages, you'll have to make a modification.

If you'd like me to do it for you, I can -- no charge or anything like that.

Also I should note that in the next version, the Queue permissions will be set via Usergroup Permissions, rather than having to edit the template.

:0 it's working now. Now I was able to select usergroups it's working. So guess there is nothing wrong after all, just a usergroup issue, nice modification .

[Kirk Y]

That's good to hear UZ. Hope everything works fine.

I did take a look at this but i have 40 querires already on my forumhone adding another 6 will not do any favours, big shame though as i was looking for something like this!!

Thanks anyway!!

[Kirk Y]

As far as I know, this is the most efficient way of doing this, so the six queries can't be helped. For most people it shouldn't be a problem, but like you said -- you've got 40 queries. I believe my board only has 25-27 and that's with this hack installed.

Very nice, works great is there any way to change the colors?
