Inline Moderation Tools (v1.2.1) · **Released**: 08-27-2004

Note: Development of this hack has stopped.
The built-in version is far superior to this hack and has better controls and permission checking. For those of you who will remain on 3.0.x, I will try to support this hack as best I can, but it won't be a top priority. If you plan on moving to 3.5, I hope this hack made your life a little bit easier while you waited .

Current Version: 1.2.1 (Wed Dec 11 15:26:30 PDT 2004)

What this is?
This hack will allow you and your moderators to do your job more effectively by allowing you to mass-moderate. You can perform the same action on multiple threads and posts without leaving the current page!

What is required?
In order to use this hack, you must have cookies and JavaScript enabled! If you don't, this hack will not work. (Note: there is no "alternative display" for people without JavaScript enabled).

How many changes?
Uploads: 2
File edits: 2
And template additions/edits

Support
I will provide all support here in this thread.

Bugs
I have thoroughly tested this hack with as many different combinations I could think of. But I probably have either over looked one or two, or just didn't think of some. If you find any odd behaviour, please let me know!

If you'd like a moderator action added to this hack, post it below and I'll look into it.

What are the screen shots of?

Don't forget to click install!!!

Yes, the current version does not cache the templates and I have fixed that. Currently the project is a mess in development and I'm trying to clean it up and release a new version which will fix a ton of bugs and add some features.

As far as limiting the power, they only have access to the tools that they'd have in the "Thread Tools" popup menu. Do you want to prevent them from using inline moderation all together?

And don't forget to click install

Yes, i'd like to limit them from seeing/using the inline tools altogether. I only want my REAL mods, supermods, and admin to see it.

And I just licked install.

*edit* and clicked it

I have finally sourced the error that was causing the error in the inline.js file.

Code:

// ################################################################### // Set the name of the go button function write_button(avalue)
  {
  fetch_object("inline_go").value = "Go (" + avalue + ")";
 }

Everytime my friend tries to access a thread he got and error message, and the above code was what his debugger returned.

Your help with this would be apprecaited.

Zoints · #85 11-15-2004, 08:24 AM

Nevermind, I got it figured out. Thanks again for a great hack.

rob_daemon · #86 11-15-2004, 01:55 PM

theArchitect: when does this happen? Does he press the checkboxes or does this only occur when the page loads? Is he a moderator and does he have access to the inline tools?

thegunowner149: glad you got it working, the new version has a usergroup setting to control the usage of inline moderation tools.

It happens on most pages for him, but mainly when replying to a post or creating a thread.

He is not a moderator and does not have access to the inline tools.

Hope this helps with the trouble shooting.

I'll hopefully have the new version of the tools out by next Tuesday. Hopefully that'll fix the problem. It will not show any of the tool items or load any of the scripts unless the user has moderator powers in that specific forum. I'll also do some rigorous JavaScript testing in IE6 with high security settings, etc.

Many Thanks for your support.

I'm getting the same error as theArchitect. I can give a lot more information on it.

It only occurs with IE. It occurs when loading forumdisplay.php and showthread.php pages.

MY exact error is:

Code:

Line: 94
Char: 2
Error: Null is null or not an object
Code: 0

It's a problem with inline_moderation.js -- It's trying to set the value of a button called inline_go but the button doesn't exist on the pages anywhere.

Ideas how to fix it?

rob_daemon · #91 11-17-2004, 06:16 PM

As I stated above, it will be fixed in the future. Thanks for the information

. This is the new version of write_button() in inline_moderation.js. Replace this:

Code:

// ###################################################################
// Set the name of the go button
function write_button(avalue)
{
	fetch_object("inline_go").value = "Go (" + avalue + ")";
}

With:

Code:

// ###################################################################
// Set the name of the go button
function write_button(avalue)
{
	if (thebutton = fetch_object("inline_go"))
	{
		thebutton.value = "Go (" + avalue + ")";
	}
}

That should do the trick, but I have yet to test it on IE.
