Display Board Authorities in Forum Home · **Released**: 06-21-2002

This small hack displays forum authorities (Site Admins/Super Moderators/Moderators) in your forum home page under today's birthdays. It's like a "showgroups.php" alternative. Anyway I guess the screenshot tells better than me.

To have online authorities list check Tubedogg's hack here. Tubedogg's hack lists the online authorities only while this one lists them all.

The hack works in all vb versions I know and easy to install..

This hack is requested by The Rock in this thread and thx to The Rock, Squawell, Hellsatan and Smoothie for testing it and convincing me to release it although I dont use the hack myself.

Enjoy..

Can I just add something...

To separate the authority list from the bottom of your forums, open your forumhome template, find $authority_list and add before it, the following code...

Code:

</table>
</td></tr></table><br>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#0A293E"  width="95%" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">

And if you want to separate users by commas in the authority list...credit to Logician...

do the following...

open root/index.php

find

Code:

eval("\$authority_list = \"".gettemplate('authority_list')."\";");

add the following before it

Code:

if ($siteadmins) {$siteadmins=substr($siteadmins,0,strlen($siteadmins)-2);}
if ($supermoderators) {$supermoderators=substr($supermoderators,0,strlen($supermoderators)-2);}
if ($boardmoderators) {$boardmoderators=substr($boardmoderators,0,strlen($boardmoderators)-2);}

Then find in root/index.php (after doing the hack of course...)

PHP Code:


			
if ($otorite[usergroupid]==6) {$siteadmins.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a> ';}



if ($otorite[usergroupid]==5) {$supermoderators.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a> ';}



if ($otorite[usergroupid]==7) {$boardmoderators.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a> ';}

And change it all to

PHP Code:


			
if ($otorite[usergroupid]==6) {$siteadmins.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a>, ';}



if ($otorite[usergroupid]==5) {$supermoderators.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a>, ';}



if ($otorite[usergroupid]==7) {$boardmoderators.='<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='.$otorite[userid].'">'.$otorite[username].'</a>, ';}

I hope that helped some people

How can you add another usergroup because when I added one it gave me a sql error.

I fixed it and added another usergroup.

Hack works great by the way.
