moderator / style hack

hmm ... ok. because i needed it desperately i asked a friend of mine to write me this hack. and he wrote it
for me it works ok, but i am not quite sure if it is secure or if it has some errors in it. that's why i am attaching it in this forum.

well. if you find some errors feel free to fix them ...

ooops ... sorry, i thought it was obvious

you can give your mods the permission to edit the styles of the forums they are mods in. this is pretty useful if you host some clans

oh. and it is really easy to install ...

thanks good to hear.
has someone checked the securiy-stuff?

A couple of issues, or what looks like bugs. First one I have seen is when you edit a template the top line which allows you to edit the style name, add a template or collapse is bringing through the wrong ID. However all the template links further down are correct, so I just removed the line


I also removed the PHP Parsed Code makefield code as I don't want my mods executing php stuff.

I'll let you know, but all-in-all its great!.

Some security checks need to be put into place as well for editing the styles. At the moment it only takes place to list the styles available. If you can edit, say, style ID 41 - the URL can be changed to any other ID and that style edited. Which obviously isn't good. :/
