Hi,
Could someone tell me if there is a way to activate the members section in the control panel for moderators.
I would like to give my moderators the ability to ban users.
I am using 6.3.0.1
Many thanks
Paul

You'll need to change the permissions via the files to do that.

This is a very dangerous thing - the ability to ban and the ability to grant admin rights are inseperable. You would end up giving your moderators both powers. You'd might as well make the administrators.

OK, first of all go to your CP and note down the areas of the CP you want the Mods to access. This will most likely be the following: user_settings user_posts search_members2 continue_user_search show_user_search_results update_members get_profile_for_admin edit_profile Now, open cp.cgi and find: code:
if (($ubb eq 'user_settings') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
Replace it with: code:
[qb]if (($ubb eq 'user_settings') && (($status eq 'Administrator') || ($status eq 'MegaModerator'))) {
Next, open cp_common.pl and find the second instance of:
code:
else if (userStatus == "" || userStatus == "Moderator") {
document.writeln("<option> - Access Denied</option>");
}
And replace it with: code:
[qb] else if (userStatus == "Moderator") {
<add your options here>
}
else if (userStatus == "") {
document.writeln("<option> - Access Denied</option>");
}
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=email_members&r=$ran> - Email Members</option>");
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=new_members&r=$ran> - New Member List</option>");
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=reg_moderation&r=$ran> - Registration Queue</option>");
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=user_settings&r=$ran> - View/Edit Member Records</option>");
If these instructions are stupidly hard to understand, please tell me and I'll elaborate.

CTM - Many thanks for your help, ill test it tonight.
Charles - Thanks for the warning, The problem is i don't want to give full admin to the mod in question as there are so many other things they could break by accedent, i trust them completly security wise.
I guess it would be simpler to have another level between mod and admin, that can handle user accounts.
I'll give this some more thoughts before going a head with it.
Many thanks again All.
Paul

LD, your post helped him in no way. You restated the facts needlessly. You seem to do this quite a bit. Perhaps you should reconsider what you consider helping.
