UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions Moderator Select Box

Alright. I saw this at 411hype.com and when I tried it I couldnt get the moderators to show up in the box... Could someone please post the code on how to do this? Thanks

Yes this is a great hack!

It will be very good if someone will post the code

Ya, I am make that for ya, hold on a sec.

Easy, Ive done it on version 5 not on version 6, but it cant be that much different.

In the place it dumps the Moderator array, (in v5 its called @mods) it then joins it to a variable called $Moderator with commas between each moderator.
So the easiest way I can see to do it would be to find the spot it prints the variable $Moderator.
Replace that with something like

$Mods[0];
$Mods[1];
$Mods[2];

Depending on the number of moderators.
A better way would be to output the line in a loop for the length of the array, incrementing the array position by 1 each time it loops.
Either way will work!
Hope this gets you started.

Here ya go, I made this really fast so it might not work. Please tell me if it does! Well here it is: Mod Scroll v0.1

Well, just doing it the way I did would be easier.

Ok, this deifnately dosen't work. I'm pretty sure it involves something in the sub GetModLine in ubb_lib

Can someone put mine on their board and let me look at it? I am pretty sure it should work.

I did, all it shows in the menu is "Select" and "------"

Gamer had a look at your code, on the right track but you are a bit confused with select box.

You have
Select
-----------------
$Moderator

Problem 1.
The variable $Moderator is a variable where elements of the @Mod array put together with a comma seperating them ie (moderator1, moderator2, moderator3 etc...)
You need to refer to each array element speratley (or in a loop)!

Problem 2.
The variables need to be enclosed in option tags, ie

$Mod[1]
$Mod[2]
$Mod[3]

If they are not in these tags then they will not show up in the drop down box.

John as I said in a earlier post I had done it on version 5 not version 6. So the moderators array in version 6 may have a different name, ie, its not called @mod, thats why ts not outputting any data in the select box.
As a test, where I had
$Mod[1]
$Mod[2]
$Mod[3]

change it to
Test1
Test2
Test3

Now if test1, test2 and test3 show up in the drop down box you know it works its just a problem with knowing what the origianal moderator array is called.

I am ok with the UBB but not html but since you would be calling a variable and you seem to be having it look like
We need a variable in the option box.
and I dont think it would work since.it would look like

Y'all are taking it way out of proportion. lol. It wasn't that hard.

Although, it won't display "no one" if there is no moderator. But who cares, same difference.

I think I figured it out! It is pretty easy I will post the hack in the forum once i get it documented

The Donut beat me here it IS
