I guess I didn't realize they changed it in RC 3. But SuperAdmins are not affected by this right? If that is the case, then it is better this way.

A Superadmin is still an Admin, isn't he?

Then that's where we need the chnage. SuperAdmins should be able to mod all areas no matter what. If they turn it off for other Admins, then they are out.

Well, that's standard behaviour and does have nothing to do with this Hack which deals with Supermods

But feel free to suggest @ .com that superadmins should have all moderator permissions.

my functions.php code

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'])
{
DEVDEBUG(' USER IS A SUPER MODERATOR');
$return = true;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('can_moderate_supermod') ) ? eval($hook) : false;
return $return;
}
}

you code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'] OR
$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel'])
{
DEVDEBUG(' USER IS A SUPER MODERATOR');
return true;

From the first post:

1 File Edit (only for Versions < 3.5 RC3)

@karanlikdunya
As Boofo already pointed out, this Hack does not need any File Edits for RC3+.
Those are only necessary for Versions < RC3 - which is clearly stated in the readme.

maybe im missing something but I installed it the RC3 way and I dont see anything new or different in the supermod permissions page. What is this mod supposed to add exactly?

This should appear in usergroup manager.

ok I found why. I didnt put the xml file in. Although I do notice that the header saying Elite Mod permissions is not at the top like your screenshot is. Mine us just blank at the top.
