Moderator Dropdown List

This hack is untested so you might see it as beta stage.

I've made this port from 2.2.x to 3.5.0b2 and now back to 3.0.7 so I hope I haven't left any bad variables.

++ What does this hack do?
This hack replaces the normale moderator column into a column holding a DropDown List with the managers, this makes your forum look better.

If there are any bugs just ask since I haven't tested it.

I looked over your code, I can't see any variables in there that won't work in 3.0.7. (not 100% sure on $moderator[musername]) Thanks for porting this.

I'll take a look on the original for $moderator[musername]

[flup]

<![CDATA[<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$moderator[userid]">$moderator[musername]</a>]]

That's what it's saying in forumhome_moderator on 3.0.7 template so I think it'll work

[cyberphere32]

So ?
Does it work or not ?

[Tony G]

It works. All the variables there work in 3.0.7.

If you choose not to believe us, backup your template code, simple as that.

Work's Great Fella's.. Ty and keep up the Good work!

[MrGoodbyte]

Works in 3.08, too!

The hack says : Next you want to edit your header section and add this script so
It runs correctly. So Go back to main style area, where you change
your colors, fonts, ect and you now have to add the script in "header" text box.

Look For This Code:
###############################

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

where do I locate -->> main style area, where you change
your colors, fonts, ect and you now have to add the script in "header" text box.

If you go to your templates ection....where you normally use the drop box for "Edit/Add Templates" the initial option should be "All Style Options" its right there at the top


Edit:

To add a small bug (for my board anyway)

You have:

<form><td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">
<SELECT NAME="newLoc" onChange="jumpPage(this.form.newLoc)" style="font-size: 7pt; background-color: #dfdfdf; font-family: Arial, Tahoma;" maxlength="20">
<OPTION VALUE="#">Moderators</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="#">---------------------</OPTION>
$forum[moderators]</select></td></form></tr>

I had to use this for it to work:

<form><td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">
<SELECT NAME="newLoc" onChange="jumpPage(this.form.newLoc)" style="font-size: 7pt; background-color: #dfdfdf; font-family: Arial, Tahoma;" maxlength="20">
<OPTION VALUE="#">Moderators</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="#">---------------------</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="#">$forum[moderators]</OPTION>
</select></td></form></tr>

And i'm running a heavily hacked 3.0.7 board
