Moderators can see the Mod CP link

Thanks to cyberhypnotic for fixing my mistake.

Just a simple hack to allow your moderators to view the Mod CP link just like your Super Moderators and Administrators can.

Open your Footer template.

Find:

<if condition="$show['modcplink']"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> -</if>

Replace with:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == '6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Super Mod Group ID' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Moderator Group ID'"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> -</if>

Screenshot isn't needed. This should work on any version of vBulletin 3.5.x or vBulletin 3.0.x.

You can get the 3.0.x version here.

Please make sure that you enter the correct groups.

Nice, I think you made two of the same thread though.

EDIT: Oops, sorry. I just realised that was for 3.0.12 :P My apoligies.

Nevermind

this doesn't work for me with 3.5.1. Confirmed usergroup id's. As soon as I hit save it just goes to a blank page instead of returning to the edit template screen....and the link does not show. I changed it to only show <if condition="is_member_of(7)"> and still no go. Any clue?

i like this MOD

I have this concern .

If I want a condition saying (if usergroup Admin or MODERATOR) show "this" else show "blablabla")

what should the code be
:disappointed:

???

The code to do this is already in 3.5.3, just commented out.

[cyberhypnotic]

It actually didn't work for me. I had to change

<if condition="$show['modcplink']"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> -</if>

And replace it with:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == '6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Super Mod Group ID' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'Moderator Group ID'"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> -</if>

It worked that way. My only concern is that I was hoping it would allow ONE of my forum Moderators access to that ModCP. Does anyone know how to allow that in a code somewhere? I'd greatly appreciate it!

[Paul M]

You shouldn't need to do any template changes, revert the change and look for this in global.php

$show['admincplink'] = iif($permissions['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel'], true, false);
// This generates an extra query for non-admins/supermods on many pages so we have chosen to only display it to supermods & admins
// $show['modcplink'] = iif(can_moderate(), true, false);
$show['modcplink'] = iif ($permissions['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel'] OR $permissions['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'], true, false);

Uncomment the bold line, and comment out the line below it.

Paul, is there any possible way to allow ONLY a certain usergroup ID to view the ModCP?

I have a Moderator that I want to be able to view it and have permission to use the menu in the ModCP.

If I uncomment that line, it will allow ALL Mods permission to use it and I don't want all Mods to use all of the menu options on the ModCP.
