We've hit a problem with MegaMods so it's not 100% bug free yet.

When i revoke an Admin or a Mod, the MegaMods also get revoked (this doesn't happen every time, only occasionally). There is obviously a caching problem somewhere, or rebuilding member stats or something along the lines of it.. I'll have a look at some of the coding tonight and see if I can come up with anything. Just thought I would report the problem.

There is another hack for this. Search this forum for 8 mod and you should be surprised

It should, may be a few tiny code changes but you can figure those out yourself with partial searching.

Found a bug and a few instruction problems, so I'll note them down to save you some time:

1) If you make a member a MegaMod and then authorize them to access a private forum, this turns them back into an ordinary member. Can be fixed by updating the CP MegaMods list a second time, just tedious.

2) The list of files to be edited in your instructions is missing a ton, it should be:

CGI-BIN:
cp.cgi
cp_forums.cgi
ubb_lib.cgi
ubb_lib_posting.cgi
ubb_lib_secgroups.cgi
ubb_new_reply.cgi
ubb_new_topic.cgi
ubb_pm.cgi
ubb_pntf.cgi
ubb_poll.cgi
ubb_profile.cgi
vars_worldslets_cp.cgi (no need for vars_worldlets.cgi to be listed, not edited)

Templates:
cp_common.pl
cp_user_titles.pl
cp_vars_avatar.pl

3) You should also try to fix some of the first 50% of instructions, which seem to have line breaks and could cause problems for those less familiar with UBB HAcking.

Otherwise all is fine, hope that's of some help.

Now I've got a new bug (might of been there before the above change, not sure).

While all my forums normal Mods are listed as such in the Control Panel, now on their profiles it only shows they normal 'Custom Title' and no 'Moderator' tag.

Seems to, only mods appear to have the problem, although for some reason one of my 8 mods shows the normal 'Moderator' title just fine, yet the rest have reverted back to the standard 'Custom Titles' by post count.

They're still mods, it just doesn't show.

I get an error that says...

Code
syntax error at /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/netwerkin.com/httpdocs/noncgi/Templates/cp_vars_megamods.pl line 16, near "// chomp"

syntax error at /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/netwerkin.com/httpdocs/noncgi/Templates/cp_vars_megamods.pl line 20, near "}"
It seems odd since that is the file you included in the zip, I didn't edit it.

Ok, with a few bug fixes of my own I've nearly got it working on 6.3.1.. I have one last problem in the MegaModerator settings with permissions.. When I set MegaMods it works fine, I re-enter the settings and I get the following error:

Quote
quote:
You do not have permission to access this area.

» Use your browser's back button to return.
.

I re-enter the MegaModerator settings again none of the MegaMods I set are there..
Any ideas..? help

I was able to get past the error if I commented that line out but I have the same problem. after I set the megamods only 1 stays, and thats the second one in the top row. If I only set one then it seems fine (haven't gone far enough to see if he can mod) but if I set more than one then it get's messed up.

The vars_megamods.cgi contains this if I set only one...

Quote
code:
Code
$Megamoderator = "00000001";

But it contains this if I set more than one...

code:
[qb]
Code
$Megamoderator = "||^||00000012";
[/qb]
Remember that I had to comment out this line in cp_vars_megamod.pl to even be able to set the megamods.

Code
// chomp, chomp, chomp

Mine didn't work...I was just putting your profile fix in.

Edit: I put the code in that you posted for the profile file and I still only get the same conditions I posted above.

The profile was for a separate error that I recieved whereby nobody could enter their profile to edit it, or view other users profiles.. wink . I'm going to contact LK and see if he can show us the way.. I'm impatient and don't want to wait any longer than I have to.. laugh

I have a great need for this hack. I don't surf the board as an admin (to prevent admin cookie theft) and I don't want to have my name listed in every forum as a moderator.

I updated my files and now I don't get any errors but even though I'm listed as a megamod my password is still viewable in the CP and my status is blank. I have no mod powers either. I just rehacked and get the same thing.

Looks as if the bugs are piling up, seem to be a couple of issues new with 'Status' titles and so forth among others mentioned above. Hope brett can find some fixes.

I have one more to add. When I have the hack installed the moderators passwords become viewable in the CP.

I'm going to rehack the files one more time but I'm "almost" certain that I've done it right.

Well, you did better than I did. I couldn't get them to show the status. Once I uploaded the backup files though the moderators passwords became hidden again.

Nope, no go. It list the people as mega-mods but they have no mod powers. It also unhides the moderator passwords in the CP.

Edit: It's also back to saying that the admin doesn't have permission to go back to the megamoderator settings.

Alright, i didn't think the paranthesis made much difference.

Alright try the updated txt file in the new zip.

EDIT: TheX, that's a typo in cp_megamods.cgi, at the very bottom where it says "$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_megamods", it should be "$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_megamod". This is fixed with the zip.

Wow, guess i didn't put in as much time as i should have. Sorry again for the troubles. frown

I downgraded to 6.3.0 again and used the original version that you made for 6.3.x.. At least that one's working to a point (MegaMod's sometimes lose power, but are given it back again when megamoderator settings have been updated). I also noticed that your original "fixes" for this problem that you posted earlier don't work either.. wink

Okay, I just rehacked everything and uploaded the files and......

BLAM (thanks Bookie) everything works. Thanks so much. I'll hammer on the boards tonight and give report on the progress later...

So far, so good...

Edit: I got the WOL list for pntf working so megamods can see IP addresses if anybody wants it.

Sorry, I did find an error. I was so happy about the mod working I forgot to open my profile (it didn't work). The instructions say to do this in ubb_profile.cgi

code:
Code
###FIND:

if($viewer_profile[8] eq 'Administrator') {
%pntf_info = %{ $PNTF->examine3_user4admin($in{u}) };
$pntf_show++ if %pntf_info;
} elsif(($vars_pntf{LastSeen} eq "yes") && ($viewer_profile[8] ne 'Administrator')) {

###REPLACE WITH:

if($viewer_profile[8] eq 'Administrator' | 'MegaModerator')) {
%pntf_info = %{ $PNTF->examine3_user4admin($in{u}) };
$pntf_show++ if %pntf_info;
} elsif(($vars_pntf{LastSeen} eq "yes") && ($viewer_profile[8] ne 'Administrator' || $viewer_profile[8] ne 'MegaModerator')) {

That didn't work, do this instead...

Wait, I just saw that and updated the zip.

You'd better do this:
Code
###FIND:

if($viewer_profile[8] eq 'Administrator') {
%pntf_info = %{ $PNTF->examine3_user4admin($in{u}) };
$pntf_show++ if %pntf_info;
} elsif(($vars_pntf{LastSeen} eq "yes") && ($viewer_profile[8] ne 'Administrator')) {

###REPLACE WITH:

if($viewer_profile[8] eq 'Administrator' || $viewer_profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator')) {
%pntf_info = %{ $PNTF->examine3_user4admin($in{u}) };
$pntf_show++ if %pntf_info;
} elsif(($vars_pntf{LastSeen} eq "yes") && ($viewer_profile[8] ne 'Administrator' || $viewer_profile[8] ne 'MegaModerator')) {

There is still an extra bracket in there.

this...

code:
Code
if($viewer_profile[8] eq 'Administrator' || $viewer_profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator')) {

Should be this...

code:
[qb]
Code
if($viewer_profile[8] eq 'Administrator' || $viewer_profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator') {
[/qb]
Edit: it is working great though...excellent hack.

Will the updated cp_megamods.cgi still work with the 6.3.0 version..?
I'm trying to kill the caching problem with setting megamods and then losing their power.. smile
