Miscellaneous Hacks - moderation queue hack

This makes it so when a board requires moderation a user can see their own posts even if they have no been accepted yet.

in forumdisplay.php find

PHP Code:

$visiblethreads = " AND visible = 1 "; 


and replace with

PHP Code:

$visiblethreads = " AND (visible = 1 OR (visible = 0 AND postuserid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ")) "; 


in showthread.php find

PHP Code:

if ((!$thread['visible'] AND !can_moderate($thread['forumid'], 'canmoderateposts'))
    OR ($thread['isdeleted'] AND !can_moderate($thread['forumid']))) 


and replace with

PHP Code:

if (($thread['isdeleted'] AND !can_moderate($thread['forumid']))) 


in editpost.php find

PHP Code:

if (!$postinfo['postid'] OR $postinfo['isdeleted'] OR (!$postinfo['visible'] AND !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canmoderateposts'))) 


and replace with

PHP Code:

if (!$postinfo['postid'] OR $postinfo['isdeleted']) 


then find

PHP Code:

if (!$threadinfo['threadid'] OR $threadinfo['isdeleted'] OR (!$threadinfo['visible'] AND !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canmoderateposts'))) 


and replace with

PHP Code:

if (!$threadinfo['threadid'] OR $threadinfo['isdeleted']) 


:up: and now you have a properly functioning mod queue option

Care to release a screenshot as to what this looks like to the mods and admin?

[renlok]

It doesnt change how it looks for mods & admins it just changes it so users can see their own posts

Screenshots is always handy-dandy.

Added a screen racken is a user without any moderator permissions but with this he can see/edit his own posts (still in the mod queue)

Usually when a post is in the moderation que, only staff can see it. Quite often what happens is that person will post it a few times or post it in a different section.

The only thing this modification changes is that not only will the staff still see the post, but so will the user who posted it. Making them believe it was posted okay.

This is how it should be default imo

Thanks for sharing the code.
