The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 09-08-2001

Description: Basically, this allows the moderator of a certain forum to add/take
access to users via access masks, however it only allows it if
the forum they moderate has that option enabled. It also
lists what users have access to a specified forum.

Please NOTE! If you dont use the Moderator Control Panel
(forum/mod/) Then this hack probably wont work, sorry!

Install:
Step1: First off, you will need phpMyAdmin, or something similar to add a column to the 'forum' database. I suggest you read > http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=18558 for instructions on how to install it.

Once you get that installed, go to the forum table, and scroll down till you see 'Add new field :', put 1 in the box, choose 'At the end of the table' and click Go.

Call the field, 'allowmodaccess', its type, 'smallint' and size, '6'(all without quotes of course), then also choose default, and make it 0(zero)

Step2: Now comes the modding of forum.php in the AdminCP.

Find at approximatly Line 120

PHP Code:


			
  doformfooter("Save Forum");

}



// ###################### Start insert #######################

Replace With

PHP Code:


			
  //ADDED CODE

  maketableheader("Moderator Accessmask Options");



  makeyesnocode("Allow moderators of this forum to give/take access via the ModCP","modaccessmasks",0);

  //UNADDED CODE

  doformfooter("Save Forum");

}



// ###################### Start insert #######################

Then, Find at Approx 124ish

PHP Code:


			
  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum

                      (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid,

                       parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprune,newpostemail,newthreademail,

                       moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons,

                       styleoverride,allowratings,countposts,moderateattach,allowmodaccess)

                   VALUES

                      (NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid',

                       '','$allowposting','$cancontainthreads','$daysprune','".addslashes($newpostemail)."','".addslashes($newthreademail)."',

                       '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies','$aallowicons',

                       '$styleoverride','$allowratings','$countposts','$moderateattach')");

Replace With

PHP Code:


			
  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum

                      (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid,

                       parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprune,newpostemail,newthreademail,

                       moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons,

                       styleoverride,allowratings,countposts,moderateattach,allowmodaccess)

                   VALUES

                      (NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid',

                       '','$allowposting','$cancontainthreads','$daysprune','".addslashes($newpostemail)."','".addslashes($newthreademail)."',

                       '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies','$aallowicons',

                       '$styleoverride','$allowratings','$countposts','$moderateattach','$modaccessmasks')");

Then Find at Approx line 230

PHP Code:


			
  doformfooter("Save Changes");



}



// ###################### Start update #######################

Replace With

PHP Code:


			
  //ADDED CODE

  maketableheader("Moderator Accessmask Options");



  makeyesnocode("Allow moderators of this forum to give/take access via the ModCP","modaccessmasks",$forum[allowmodaccess]);

  //UNADDED CODE



  doformfooter("Save Changes");



}



// ###################### Start update #######################

Then Find at approx line 250

PHP Code:


			
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum

                   SET

                     styleid='$styleset', title='".addslashes($title)."', description='".addslashes($description)."',

                     active='$isactive', displayorder='$displayorder', parentid='$parentid', parentlist=$parentlist,

                     allowposting='$allowposting', cancontainthreads='$cancontainthreads', daysprune='$daysprune',

                     newpostemail='".addslashes($newpostemail)."', newthreademail='".addslashes($newthreademail)."',

                     moderatenew='$moderatenew', allowhtml='$aallowhtmlcode', allowbbcode='$aallowbbcode',

                     allowimages='$aallowimgcode', allowsmilies='$aallowsmilies', allowicons='$aallowicons',

                     styleoverride='$styleoverride', allowratings='$allowratings', countposts='$countposts',

                     moderateattach='$moderateattach'

                   WHERE forumid='$forumid'");

And replace with

PHP Code:


			
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum

                   SET

                     styleid='$styleset', title='".addslashes($title)."', description='".addslashes($description)."',

                     active='$isactive', displayorder='$displayorder', parentid='$parentid', parentlist=$parentlist,

                     allowposting='$allowposting', cancontainthreads='$cancontainthreads', daysprune='$daysprune',

                     newpostemail='".addslashes($newpostemail)."', newthreademail='".addslashes($newthreademail)."',

                     moderatenew='$moderatenew', allowhtml='$aallowhtmlcode', allowbbcode='$aallowbbcode',

                     allowimages='$aallowimgcode', allowsmilies='$aallowsmilies', allowicons='$aallowicons',

                     styleoverride='$styleoverride', allowratings='$allowratings', countposts='$countposts',

                     moderateattach='$moderateattach', allowmodaccess='$modaccessmasks'

                   WHERE forumid='$forumid'");

Step3: Now we need to modify index.php in the /mod/ folder.

Find at approx line 124

PHP Code:


			
<!--<tr><td>

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<tr bgcolor="#3F3849"><td><font color="#BCB6CD">

<b>Styles</b>

</font></td></tr></table>

<a href="style.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=modify"> Edit </a>

</td></tr>-->

Replace With

PHP Code:


			
<tr><td>

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<?php maketableheader("User Access Masks"); ?>

</table>

<a href="modaccessmasks.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=select"> Add | Edit | List </a>

</td></tr>

Step4: Making modaccessmasks.php...

Okay, this bit wont be easy :|

Basically, make this file as below, however, there are a few bits your going to have to grab from user.php in the admin directory.(which i will explain down furthur)

PHP Code:


			
<?php

error_reporting(7);



require("./global.php");



cpheader();



if (isset($action)==0) {

  $action="select";

}



//////////#########***********Here>><<>><< You need to add code i specifiy down furthur.



// ###################### Start Select Window Thing #####################

if ($action=="select"){



    doformheader("modaccessmasks","editaccess");

    makehiddencode("action","editaccess");

    maketableheader("Access Granting For Forums","",0);

    echo "<br>\n";

    makeinputcode("User Name(exact)","user_name");

    

    doformfooter("Edit User");

    echo "<br>\n";

    doformheader("modaccessmasks","editaccess");

    makehiddencode("action","listusers");

    maketableheader("List Users Access per Forum","",0);

    echo "<br>\n";

    makeinputcode("Forum ID","forumid");

    

    doformfooter("List Forums");

}



// ################## Start List of Access per forum ##########



if ($action=="listusers") {

    $query = "SELECT * FROM access ORDER BY userid";

    $passthruquery=$DB_site->query($query);

    while ($newsarray=$DB_site->fetch_array($passthruquery)) {

        $query2 = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid=$newsarray[userid] LIMIT 1";

        $query3 = "SELECT * FROM forum WHERE forumid=$newsarray[forumid] LIMIT 1";

        $passthruquery2=$DB_site->query($query2);

        $newsarray2=$DB_site->fetch_array($passthruquery2);

        $passthruquery3=$DB_site->query($query3);

        $newsarray3=$DB_site->fetch_array($passthruquery3);

        if($newsarray[accessmask] == 1 AND $newsarray[forumid] == $forumid ) { 

            echo "$newsarray2[username] has access to $newsarray3[title]($newsarray[forumid])\n<br>";

        }

    }

}



cpfooter();

?>

Open up user.php And look around line 358 for

PHP Code:


			
// ###################### Start Edit Access #######################



if ($action=="editaccess") {

And copy from there down to >> to approx line 425

PHP Code:


			
  echo "<p>User access updated successfully</p>";



  $action="modify";

}

Put all that copy stuff into the above file, in the section thingo i specified.

Now you need to mod that code.

Step5: >>

Find

PHP Code:


			
if ($action=="editaccess") {

Add immediatly below it

PHP Code:


			
if(!isset($userid)) {

$username=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM user WHERE username='$user_name'");

$userid=$username[userid];

}

Then Find

PHP Code:


			
  doformheader("user","updateaccess");

  makehiddencode("userid","$userid");

Replace With

PHP Code:


			
  doformheader("modaccessmasks","updateaccess");

  makehiddencode("userid","$userid");

I would recomend editing the below block of code, changing to description for your moderators.

PHP Code:


			
echo "<tr class='firstalt'><td c.....

Now, find

PHP Code:


			
  maketableheader("Forum List");



  $forumlist=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM forum");

Replace It with

PHP Code:


			
  maketableheader("Forum List");

///modified code

if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) {

    $forumlist=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM forum WHERE forum.allowmodaccess=1 ORDER BY forum.title");

}

else {

    $forumlist=$DB_site->query("SELECT moderator.userid,forum.title FROM moderator,forum WHERE moderator.forumid=forum.forumid AND moderator.userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND forum.allowmodaccess=1 ORDER BY forum.title");

}

//end modify

And Finally,

Find

PHP Code:


			
  echo "<p>User access updated successfully</p>";



  $action="modify";

And Replace with

PHP Code:


			
  echo "<p>User access updated successfully</p>";



    $action="select";

Phew, you should be done. Now go into your AdminCP, and modify all the forums you wish your users to be able to change/add accessmasks to and at the bottom, choose 'yes' for allow mods to change access masks.

To access it, go to http://yourforum.url/forumpath/mod/ login, and hit the Add | Edit | View button on the menu.

Thats all Folks!

PS Phew for the 12345 char limit

I have the same problem:

Usergroup enabled: Yes
Forum Enabled: Yes

"You do not have permission to do this" I've spent a few hours making sure everything you had said is correctly done, or at least I hope it is.

I also noticed the error at the end of the file which Darkreaper mentioned.

Thanks

DarkReaper · #33 09-19-2001, 06:33 PM

Well..? Why isn't this working?

Scott MacVicar · #34 09-19-2001, 08:44 PM

I recently formatted and install Win 2k, so sorry for not replying. I will try and install it on a fresh vbulletin and see if i get the same error. Hopefully I won't.

Last question, does your admin usergroup also have super moderator set to yes, as I'm presumming your testing this as the admin user.

DarkReaper · #35 09-19-2001, 09:25 PM

I was testing using the account of a regular forum user who I had set to be able to do this.

Well...I just tested it with my account and it worked fine. You mentioned being a super moderator. Do I have to enable this for the person/category for it to work?

I think I remember you mentioning having a hack that allows moderators to be given the ability to change the styles for their forums. Do you? Or is that someone else?

merk · #36 09-19-2001, 11:12 PM

This hack is for allowing moderators to give access to the forums they moderate(or take.)

The styles hack for moderators is coming, but its more complex, and im adding more options for control.

I was referring to PPN's version of the hack.

merk · #38 09-20-2001, 02:44 AM

Ah, okay

Scott MacVicar · #39 09-20-2001, 06:26 AM

No, the user only has to be a moderator of a forum and if they are also a super mod then they will show all forums. If you wish to enable it for people who are not moderators then it would involve editing of everything within the vBulletin mod panel.

Scott

DarkReaper · #40 09-20-2001, 10:54 AM

I made the person a moderator, enabled it for his usergroup, and enabled it for his forum, and it still doesn't work.

DarkReaper · #41 09-23-2001, 01:23 AM

PHP Code:


			
  if (!$perms[ismoderator] and !$ismod=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND (canbanusers=1 OR canviewprofile=1)")) {

Shouldn't something be done so you can throw a "OR caneditaccess=1" in there and make it work? As it is a user must have banning or profile viewing permissions for it to work.
