Message Editing Hierarchy for 3.6

[ice chrono]

looking for a mod to prevent moderators from editing users in a higher class.
basically
Mods>S-mods>Admins>S-Admins
s-mods can edit mods post.. but can not touch Admins and S-Admins post/topics.
and thanks in advance

I do hope someone can accomplish this.

While this is definitely not of plugin quality, it is a quick fix to the hierarchy post edit issue.
Please note that a moderator can still edit and/or delete the thread itself.
In addition, moderators that are not assigned a forum do not count as privileged to edit posts.
I did write this quickly, so unlike my username, I haven't fully tested it. Use at your own discretion.

1). Copy and paste the following function at the end of the functions.php file:

PHP Code:

// note: moderator usergroup only counts if user is assigned to a forum
function caneditposter($userid)
{
    global $vbulletin;
    static $superadmins;

    $issuperadmin = false;
    $issuperadmin2 = false;
    $isadmin = false;
    $isadmin2 = false;
    $issupermod = false;
    $issupermod2 = false;
    $ismod = false;
    $ismod2 = false;

    if ($userid == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
        return true;
        
    if (!is_array($superadmins))
    {
        $superadmins = preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
    }
    
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] < 1)
    {
        // user is a guest
        return false;
    }
    else if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], $superadmins))
    {
        // user is a super administrator (defined in config.php) so can do anything
        $issuperadmin = true;
    }
    else if (($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']))
    {
        $isadmin = true;
    }

    
    if ($userid < 1)
    {
        // user is a guest
        return true;
    }
    
    $userinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);
    
    if (in_array($userid, $superadmins))
    {
        // user is a super administrator (defined in config.php) so can do anything
        $issuperadmin2 = true;
    }
    else if ($userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel'])
    {
        $isadmin2 = true;
    }
    
        
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'])
    {
        $issupermod = true;
    }
    
    if ($userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'])
    {
        $issupermod2 = true;
    }

    if (!$issupermod)
    {
        $mod = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
                SELECT forumid
                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "moderator
                WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "
                LIMIT 1
        ");
        if ($mod)
            $ismod = true;
    }
        
    if (!$issupermod2)
    {
        $mod2 = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
            SELECT forumid
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "moderator
            WHERE userid = $userid
            LIMIT 1
        ");
        if ($mod2)
            $ismod2 = true;
    }



    if ($issuperadmin)
    {
        if ($issuperadmin2)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }
    else if ($isadmin)
    {
        if ($issuperadmin2 OR $isadmin2)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }
    else if ($issupermod)
    {
        if ($issuperadmin2 OR $isadmin2 OR $issupermod2)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }
    else if ($ismod)
    {
        if ($issuperadmin2 OR $isadmin2 OR $issupermod2 OR $ismod2)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }
    
    return false;
} 

2). Locate the hook 'postbit_display_complete' in class_postbit.php and paste the following:

PHP Code:

if ($this->post['editlink'] AND !caneditposter($this->post['userid']))
{
    $this->post['editlink'] = '';
    $show['ajax_js'] = false;
} 

3). Locate 'verify_forum_password' in editpost.php and paste the following:

PHP Code:

if (!caneditposter($postinfo['userid']))
    print_no_permission(); 

4). Done!
