MAF: (Moderator Application Form & Application Rating Module)

FAQ:
What Does It Do? it enables your members to apply to be a mod, cuts down on all the asking and stuff

That It? basically

What about the cool back end? ooh yeah, so anyway it will email on the 14th day to either let em know they've been shortlisted or to try again at a later date

How will it know? mod ratings innit, if their under 7 their outta there

Anything else? nah i guess it starts a thread in your mod forum to tell your mods to rate em

How does it know what forum and who's the threadster? you tell em via the admincp options (where the rest of the vboptions are) theirs a handy little group for the MAF and i don't mean 2+2

Ok so that's gotta be it now? nope

What else does it do? it logs it all in the admincp schedules tasks and sends you a copy of the email

Damn who taught you all that? various folks, special thanks to Dean, Marco, OBK and Zero Tolerance who helped me on this specific hack though.

Ok so what's the install like? swift the long thing is the upload

Ok rumour is it needs to run a cron, what's a cron? :squint: it's the automated do-dad in the admincp

How do i set it up? it's so straight forward you could close your eyes and do it, the file you're cronning is called "maf-cron.php" and i recommend running it at 12.30 (that means leave the rest as stars)

Ok so if their an installer? there is indeed thanks to Link and his magical HIS

Well now that's sorted can i install it? please do!

How can i help you become cooler? click install and let's see if i can become hack of the month innit

Bye now? yes go :ermm:











So you heard their was an upgrade and you're wondering just what you have to do right? simply reupload all the files (not including your cron if you wanna be special and then just run the installer, if that gives you trouble just click overrite original settings, all it's gonna do it reinstall the phrases, reinstall the templates and tell you the two file mods to remake.


So you heard their was an upgrade this time around? simply reupload all the files (if you wanna pretend to be uber 1337 just upload the admincp file and the cron folder file)

Not to be impatient, but do you have an estimate as of when the update for v3.5 will be out? If not, thanks anyways

[zzzxxzzz]

how come the automatic thread doesn't show up in the forum i assigned? using v3.0.9

Well i got several Problems with that.

First of all, the installation.
its works fine, when i choose NOT the Generate Files option.
If i choose it, i see the following and a nice sql error as a special benefit:
templates.php (Save This File)
and so on ..

But no problem ..i manually created the files and what now? its not mentioned in your "install readme file".. .first problem at this point. .now the sql error:

Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/htdocs/web1/html/board/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

Warning: halt(): Failed opening './includes/functions_log_error.php' for inclusion (include_path='.') in /home/htdocs/web1/html/board/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

and:

So what now? I can install it, i can fill in an application, just send it and a thread is created in my mod forum ...but if i want to see it / rate it there is no template in admincp / modcp neither is there any text when i ran the cron manually.
I have made the changes to the file in the cron folder.
