when it should be this:

otherwise you cannot access the user permissions from the control panel.

I do not offer support by EMail or ICQ, please post your question at UBBDev....

Actually...my coding looks like this:


I mis-copied that code block in the docs. My bad. Instructions are updated.

------------------

For some reason the code still doesn't work for me on 5.45c what happens is that when I go to a user profile in the cp and look at there settings I see able to post only has no, mega mod, admin and then on the admin side it says yes, no, but the thing is i'm only able to select mega mod, and thats it. I can't select no for the admin side like I used to be able to. Then i update the threads and ask a mod to try his powers on another forum and it says he doesn't have acess or rights something like that for what he is trying to do. Please help.

You most likely screwed up on the part where you find/replace the blocks of code that go:


OR you messed up with the block of code that says:


That may get confusing, but to fix it all you will have to go back to your backup for this file, then redo the coding.

------------------

That is exactly what I had shouldn't there be an option for yes allowed to post and also he is a mega mod or something like that or am i just getting confused?

------------------
Check out the Klipsch board

Um...just redo the coding. The options go like this:

Able to post notes?

•Yes
•No

To the right of that, it says:

Authorized Administrator?

•Admin
•Mega Mod
•No

Thats what it should look like. If it doesn't look like that, odds are you replaced the wrong bit of coding. Like I said, go back to your backup of cpanel4.cgi, then reinstall the cpanel4.cgi coding. That should fix it.

------------------

Ok got that piece of code to work no when I set them up as able to post and mega mod, and then have them try and post in any forum the message they get is: Sorry, but you do not have permission to post a topic.

Your registration request may not yet may have been approved by the Administrator or your posting privileges have been removed.

You may also be trying to post to a forum where you do not have permission to post.

Then after seeing this I go into the cp and look at there status and see that there status has change to unable to post and not a mega mod anymore? Any Ideas now?


------------------
Check out the Klipsch board

That's wierd...either you made an error somewhere or it doesn't work in your version (which I strongly doubt). Multiple people have told me that it works just fine on their boards.

------------------

My version is 5.45c, I've redone the hack three times and have come up with the same thing.

------------------
Check out the Klipsch board

Bump any Ideas?

email me your cpanel4.cgi file...I'll have a look at it.

------------------

was wondering, what could be added to this to allow the Mega Mods be able to delete a topic as well?

Um...that should be built in.

------------------

Everything else is working great for it, its a really cool mod, just was checking everything and it won't let a M. Mod delete a topic...

I don't think I missed anything, I've even added the ability for them to use the Sticky Threads, but can't get them to delete.. weird...

I'll look into it; the problem should reside in ubbmisc.cgi.

------------------

Whoops, I mean postings.cgi.

------------------

Ok, this should fix it. I updated the docs to reflect this, but heres what was added:

>>>Find:


>>>REPLACE it with:


------------------

Thanks Alot!!
You are DA MAN

But my M. Mods are still not able to delete

Ok, I think I have found the problem...in your instruction you have.

>>>Find:

unless (($profileinfo[8] eq "Administrator") || ($ModMatch eq "true")) {

>>>REPLACE with:

unless (($profileinfo[8] eq "Administrator") || ($ModMatch eq "true") || ($profileinfo[8] eq "Mega Moderator")) {


The Space between "Mega Moderator" needs to be removed. Will look like this:

unless (($profileinfo[8] eq "Administrator") || ($ModMatch eq "true") || ($profileinfo[8] eq "MegaModerator")) {

Thanks; I was just a bit tired when I made the docs (only about 1 1/2 hours sleep the previous night)

But that is the extent of the bugs! No others!

------------------

Well, I just want to say, I like this mod alot, GREAT JOB!!!!

Major congrats should go to cal, most of the coding was his. I just bugfixed all those annoying little bugs that were in it.

------------------

I made those two changes and it still won't store the changes to the profiles, when i change a mod to a mega mod and then go back and view his status it says able to post -no

------------------

Sorry, I've been swamped with stuff to do. I will look at ur cpanel4.cgi tomorrow, I promise.

------------------

Bump, any luck would love to get this up and running.

Hey Dark & the gang - did you look into the bug fixes I made to this hack a couple of months back? Most of the problems you're finding here were already put to bed there. See

Not quite all...the biggest bug was if you set the moderators, the mega mods would go back down to moderators, making you re-set mega mods in user info and permissions. This was one of the MANY things I changed.

------------------

Bump, Dark Templar any luck yet on the Cpanel4.cgi file?

------------------

Still have to do a bit more tweaking...I've only been able to look at it for 5 mins...I have a really hecktic schedule. I will for sure get to look at it this weekend. Once again, I'm really sorry for not getting a chance to look at it previously.

------------------

Thanks, just let me know what you find out.

BIG UPDATE!!! There was a flaw that wouldn't let admins post announcements. I updated it to version 3.9 now, it is fixed. Redo all the announce.cgi coding if you are updating.

------------------

I seem to be having the same problem as klipsch is having. When trying to give someone Mega Mod status, it gives them Admin status but takes away their posting privelages.

I'm still interested in this hack.. question is, should I install the current version, or wait a few days until you have time to fix it more DT?

I can install it right now if you'd like me to help, and let you know what bugs I find..

Otherwise I'll just wait until you say it's stable..



------------------

Now that the announcement section has been fix, I don't see anything else wrong with this mod. It runs flawless on my board.

Again great work DT and all though that are associated with this mod.

Thanks

There is one big bug in it that I can see. It's a real simple one really.

Heres what happens: You can't take people off mod. It doens't update their profile to show it. You can't put people on mod. It doesn't update their profile to show that either.

If I take out the coding responsible for this, then whenever you set moderators it pops the mega moderator down to moderator.

*sigh* I need someone who's better than me at this stuff to look at it. I'll post the bits of coding responsible for this problem shortly.

------------------

So you could use this hack, but if you wanted to make someone a mod/or not a mod, you'd have to edit whereever the modfile thing is manually?

Hmm.

I'll have to look at it when I have time.
