Moderator Template Editor

Hello!

This is my first hack and so far, so good

This hack is a Moderator Template Editor. It will allow your moderators to edit their own template on your vb. It's also setup so they can not edit other templates as it only shows theirs.

If you have any questions or have a problem/idea, please post in this thread as I will check it often!

I still plan to addon to this hack with the style and replacements stuff too

Oh, and please hit install if you plan on using it

[UPDATE] Security issue fix with Xenon's "Mods can edit users" included for those who use it so that means there are no security issues as far as I know when it comes to non-admins. [/UPDATE]

[UPDATE 2] Changed some code to increase security against people disabling javascript - Change the following to update this hack if you have it installed:

1. Open template.php

2. Find:

if ($expandset=$bbuserinfo[fieldID]) {
echo "";
} else {
echo "<script language=\"javascript\">
<!--

alert(\"You are not authorized to view this area\")
location.replace(\"http://www.yoursite.net/forums/mod/index.php?s=&action=home\");

//-->

</script>";

}

3. Between the } and the </script>"; - add:

die;

[/UPDATE 2]

Pictures will be attached after this thread...

You're a mod that's not authorized to use this template editor!

so basically it allows mods to create their own template set that only THEY can use???

Say you give a moderator their own forums and want to let them update their template to however they want it. This hack lets them use a template you setup for them and allow them to mod it however without hurting any other templates or forums.

Wow, this is just what I need. Quick question, am I able to let the mod change more then one template set? i.e. I want them able to edit template sets 2, 3 and 5.

Something you may like to add to your to-do list, it would be good if they were able to access the "Styles" and "Replacements" pages. It would also be nice if they could access features such as Search templates, Download/Upload Styles and maybe even "add style".

You see, I have a forum designer type guy, who is currently set as an administrator. He isn't really an administrator, he just plays around with the templates and all, it would be nice if he was able to do this without me having to risk the fact that he could shut down the forum and everything, although i do trust him, if his password came out and someone got access to it, etc etc...

Right now, I don't think you can set them up for multiple templates (verified, you can't at this moment)...I shall look into that.

And yup I plan on adding styles and replacements to this hack later on

Also if you want to let them add styles, then just don't delete that code when you install this (see step 4 in installation file)

I just wanted to get this part done since I know a few people who were lookin for it.

Hey I know you....you're on the Myacen forums!

this is awesome... but i dont want to give my mods this much power

Well you can give it to certain mods

I designed this because I know one site who has wanted this for certain groups that have forums on their site as well as my site so my clients can edit their forum to how they see fit.
