Moderators Functions - Give Super Moderators ability to fully edit a user

Should work on most vBulletin versions. So Far Tested on 3.8.x,4.x.x

first the user.php file must be taken from the admincp and replaced in the modcp.

find

PHP Code:

(!can_administer('canadminusers')) 


replaced with

PHP Code:

(!can_administer('canadminusers') && (!can_moderate('canmodusers'))) 


In 4.0.5 on some servers you must replace it with

PHP Code:

(!can_moderate('canmodusers')) 


This will work by itself but it is a bit harder to search for users for easy seach..

go to index.php in modcp directory
find in index.php in modcp

find

PHP Code:

($vbphrase['search_for_users'],'user.php?do=find') 


replace with

PHP Code:

($vbphrase['search_for_users'],'user.php?do=modify') 


Now a moderator(who has permission) may "save" and "search"
users similar to admins the only difference is to search they must save an account first(this will not change anything on the account unless they decide to edit something.)

BE CAREFUL WHOM YOU CHOOSE FOR A MOD POSITITION THAT YOU GIVE THIS PERMISSION

sorry for the late response but I have to ask for more information on what you did exactly. Please I can not help you without more information as I have confirmed this working on 4.0.2

[legacy123]

There are some issues with 4.0.5 on some servers. I added something to fix this.
