Moderators can add/edit forums

Hello,

Can someone make a simple vB2 hack that allows moderators to add or edit the forums and categories?

Just move your admin/forum.php to mod/forum.php

Then, open up mod/index.php and find

PHP Code:

makenavselect("Thread Control","<hr>"); 


Replace it with

PHP Code:

makenavselect("Thread Control");
// *************************************************
makenavoption("Add","forum.php?action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","forum.php?action=modify");
makenavselect("Forums & Moderators","<hr />");

Anyway to make it work for just super mods?

Try

PHP Code:

if(!$bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==5) {
makenavoption("Add","forum.php?action=add","|"); 
makenavoption("Modify","forum.php?action=modify"); 
makenavselect("Forums & Moderators","<hr />"); 
} 


I can't remember if thats the correct usergroupid for Super Moderators though

It will only work for smods.

Only smods can view mod cp, IIRC.

Nah, Mods can too

Ah ok, I tested it, yep mods can too. Just have to be a moderator of a forum instead of just being in moderator usergroup. By the way, your mod won't work because the user can still type in the URL then.

Open mod/forum.php and find

PHP Code:

require("./global.php"); 


Below, add

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==7)
{
    exit();
}

That's true, and thanks for fixing it for me (Although I doubt many mods will know the URL for 'em)

[Gary King]

Still, for safety.

we just want it so it blocks the mod from adding/editing forums but can still use the other functions
