I just finished the MegaMod hack for UBB 6.01. It took me 3 days, but I'm very happy it's working now  For the people who don't know what a MegaModerator is: A MegaModerator can moderate in all forums in your board. What the hack does: It adds 4 MegaModerator input boxes in the Moderator Settings section of the control panel. You just add them like normal moderators. In your Miscellaneous settings you can specify the status for your MegaMod. You can download the hack here: http://albundy.dhs.org/ubbhacks/megamod.txt Already tested succesfully on 6, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03

Quick question? Will this conflict with the star hack if installed?

Woo. I might install this one later. Hope this version actually works. lol.  Webdaddie: Not much. To add stars for MegaMod, just add this in your stars code: right after the admin stars, and before the moderator stars. just replce $thesestars with whatever your stars variable is, then replace megamod.gif with whatever your megamod gif(s) will be.

I don't think so If you just look good at the code you can see if you have to change code what has been changed before by the stars hack. (Sorry English sometimes is hard for me :)) If you need to you can always combine the two hacks. UBB source code isn't that hard

Okay this is part of what I have in my public_topic_page.pl file I added in what you told me to add in there: But I'm alittle confused now when you are saying: just replce $thesestars with whatever your stars variable is, then replace megamod.gif with whatever your megamod gif(s) will be. This is what calls the files: I'm not sure what I'm changing here when it calls: $thesestars

Just a little note:
in my hack, $user_profile[8] = "MegaModerator", not "MegaMod"

elsif ($user_profile[8] eq "MegaModerator") { $thesestars = $MegaModStarURL x $vars_misc{MegaModStarNum}; $star_status = "$vars_misc{MegaModeratorTitle}"; add that after your admin stars. scratch what I told you earlier. I'm not using the hack that you're using for stars, so you'll have to add a mega moderator star check in the file where that stuff is. I'm just naturally confusing, sorry.

Oops I forgot to make it an Admin Now you can try the MegaMod hack first before you put it in your own board. I will always try to do something with the stars hack, but I don't hav much time at this moment... Btw I'm sorry my testing board is in Dutch, it's just because i do all the hacks for a UBB on a big Dutch internetsite, so I have an exact copy running so i can copy all files to that server when I finish a hack

The one who made that hack, could make it compatible with the MegaMod, or I can do it. I'll have a look I can't find that hack somewhere  [ April 02, 2001: Message edited by: Al Bundy ]

Does this one work in 6.02 also?
This is the designed behavior.

I don't have UBB 6.02 yet, but I think the code which I changed is not changed in 6.02. Just try the hack, if it doesn't work, I will take a look a it.

I use it with 6.02 and it works great ... but you can get some problems if you have stars/status hack installed ..

I have found a Major Bug:
cp_forums.cgi
-------------
Find:
if ($Status ne 'Administrator') {
$modprof[8] = 'Moderator';
Recplace by:
if (($Status ne 'Administrator') || ($Status ne 'MegaModerator')) {
$modprof[8] = 'Moderator';
This should be replaced by
unless (($Status eq 'Administrator') || ($Status eq 'MegaModerator')) {
this would be also possible with
if (($Status ne 'Administrator') && ($Status ne 'MegaModerator')) {
but the unless thing is clearer
Now to the old one, if you have this bug all your Admins who are Moderators in some Forums will be cut down to normal Admins without Admin rights.
If you are allready in the Trap open your Admin Member file per ftp or whatever and replace the Term Moderator with Administrator
Good Luck,
stk

I found the mistake, too, i used || instead of &&... But when i found out about that I was at my work and when I got home I forgot to fix it  Edit: I fixed it now... Edit 2: Now I look at my own code, i see the line doesn't have to be changed. First I did, but later I found out I didn't need to change that, and i lacked updating my documentation. I scanned my documentation for more bugs like that, but I didn't find anymore, so it has to be ok now [ April 03, 2001: Message edited by: Al Bundy ] [ April 03, 2001: Message edited by: Al Bundy ]

Dunno if it matters, but at "Search Members" in the config panel, you can't enter megamoderator as status so you can't search for them oh well...this still looks like a damn great hack

Would it be good an addon hack that sort of displayed the megamodaerators on the main page of the site?

If you just search for Moderators, MegaModerators turn up in the search results, too.
And if you want to search for MegaModerators only, you only have to do this:
In cp_user_search_form.pl, find:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">code: Below that, add: That's all. I also put this in the megamod.txt, because it might come in handy.

I just found a little bug. If you make a megamoderator an Admin, and after that you take away the Admin rights, he will become a Member, Junior Member, or Moderator. It's 0.21 here right now, and I'm very tired, so I will take a look at this when I wake up again

Ignore that, I got it working. But can you post complete instructions for changing the name of a MegaModerator, so that the rank is known as "Security", because that's what the members of my board know it as. Thanks

Error including required files: [Thu Apr 12 13:58:06 2001] cp.cgi: syntax error at ubb_lib.cgi line 1214, near "elsif" Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

There's no elsif near line 1214 in my ubb_lib.cgi Didn't you add an other hack after you did the megamod hack? Or maybe you made a copy&paste mistake when applying the hack (i.e. you forgot to select a } or something).

Sorry for all those questions, it was just my second hack. It's great! I got it to work. Now all I need to work out, is how to get a certain glow for MegaMods, any ideas ?
Thanks!

Doesn't matter. I've got _much_ patience and I can explain some things a 1000 times, until the person asking the questions finally gets it Hmm, I'm lazy sometimes, too... I haven't yet tested the hack for 6.04

I think I've found another major bug in the hack but I don't know how to remove it... ! When you've installed the Hack, the authorisation System for the private forums will be damaged because if you authorisize a MOD to have access in ONE private forum, he'll have access to all ones ! This is only possible as a MOD or maybe a MegaMOD ! A normal user only has access to the forum you authorisized him for ! Try to test it in the TESTFORUM ! There it's the same ! I hope you can help me and you can understand my bad english !

I will take a look at it asap. Right now I'm just coming from a party and I can't take a look at it (alcohol :o). I think I have time on Sunday, so then I hope to find a solution

There's been a complication. The MegaMods are saying that they are unable to perform MegaMod functions such as Move, Delete, Close, etc. Why ??
