Mods edit access masks including child forums

There was another version around on the board but it had problems with moderators who had access to moderate a forum through inheritance, ie they were moderator of a category. This code is in no way based on the other version, but no doubt will be similar as there isn't really much of a difference you can make.

This is just really an alternative to letting mods ban people from the whole forum, they can simply ban from a single forum.

Once you have done what it says in the instructions when you add a moderator you will have permission to say if they can edit forum access masks for that particular forum. Remember if they are mod of a category and the edit acccess masks option is enabled then all the forums in this category moderated by the user through inheritance have the ability.

Supermods and Admins can edit all access masks via the mod control panel.

This has been tested on
vb 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 they all work
also tested on
vb 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 these also work.

I had a small error in the permissions checking for the updateaccess which i just noticed and corrected, so if you have installed this before November 21st it may be advisable to update the /mod/user.php part which involves the updateaccess part.
Not that your mods would want to change access masks for forums they don't mod

Alright, I'm being lazy... or I'm just tired. Anyone care to pour over the current distro and tell me why my mods just lost the ability to view user profiles since this update? It's just them, emods (smods) and admins are fine.

Other thing is, I'm assuming E-mod's are supposed to be able to edit the access for all forums, even private ones they, ironically enough, even they're not supposed to have access to?

I don't truly care about the second part as it's no big secret what we do there, it's just boring crap about running the main site. However mods no longer being able to snoop through peoples profiles is annoying.

(still using vb2.2.7)

Seems that all my mods listed in the Moderators table "canviewprofile" setting was reset to 0. I'm betting this has more to do with some "persons" actions now. Other than that one snag everything was great, and works perfect now.

Question:

I have been using this for some time. It is great. But, I have noticed a small problem and have been able to find a solution. Maybe I have just missed it.

I have noticed that all mods can change their forum access masks. Is there a simple way to change that without losing the setups now?

Please let me know.

Cheers,
GM

Great hack I have it working on V2.30 no problems at all :rambo:

[Ecron Daemon]

could anyone convert this for vb 3.0.3?

[Ecron Daemon]

Is it too hard to do that?!
The code already exist, I think it's relatively simple to adapt that for anyone of the coder inside here

[gabs]

Yes . it would rock to have this for 3.0.3

[Ecron Daemon]

help, I need only the conversion of this hack for vb 3.0.3

[Digital_Madness]

I am done with the admin panel of this hack but cannot figure out the perms for mod panel.. I will post the updated hack here once completed.

[SilverBoy]
