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

Somehow mine isnt working properly, even after my tests, i found no errors.

If you can wait about a week, i will have version2 out, which will hopefully work alot better(and the instructions will be alot better)

Ashura · #64 10-08-2001, 09:49 AM

Is this using my additions to the hack?

If so, is the user an Admin or Super Mod ( usergroupid 5 or 6)?

Is the account your trying to edit with a Moderator of the forum or any of its parents, Admin, or Super Mod?

Need a bit more to go on here.

Ashura · #65 10-08-2001, 09:55 AM

This can happen in forums where you have not enabled the feature for the Forum in the Admin CP. The ability to edit it is not derived from parent forums.

I get a blank page when listing forums and selecting one that I have not explicitly given Mods access to edit.

Zeoran · #66 10-10-2001, 06:41 PM

I have a request simliar to this. I need my moderators to be able to change the users profile options (namely user title and group). The default is that they can view it, but they can't change it. Are there any hacks out there that would allow them to edit the information too? I could really use this so I can stop having them have access to the main admin cp panel.

TIA
