is there a hack that doesn't show who's moderating the forum , i mean like " invisible " moderators ??
You can do that manually editing the scripts and be more specific where you want to remove them.
well i want them to be moderator on all forums , but i don't want their name showing on the moderator columm in the ultimate cgi , but i don't wanna lose all the moderator names there , so what i need is a hack so i can choose what moderator names show and which don't . i did a good search on these forums but all i could find was a hack that removes all names , and that i don't want.
i did that , but becuz i have the starshack installed it don't work , it messes up the ubb_library2 where as u know the starshack is installed.and i wouldn't know where to start making it work , i can install hacks but i don't know how to make them.
For example what I did in my forums was just write out the elements of the Moderators array that I wanted to print, eg. If I had 6 moderators, and I only wanted to show 4, then wherever it printed the moderators name I just used $variable(arrayelement);
The way ubb does it it loop through all the array elements until it gets to the end of the array, then it stops printing moderators names.
Hope this helps.
cool , looks like i could use that , any change of posting a code example ?
Ohh jezz Im at work and cant access my ubb code from here. Umm for example in ultimate.cgi it reads the moderators from an array, splits it up, adds a comma and joins it all back together into a single variable.
Think its something like
@mods = split(/||^||/, $Moderator);
$Moderator = join(", ", @mods);
Now in any location you see the variable $Moderator being printed, simple erase that and put a reference to the actual array element, example
print "$mods(1) $mods(2)";
this would just print the first 2 moderators.
Hope you can understand what Im getting at.
Any probs let me know.
well i guess i see what u mean , now hopefully i can figure it out and get it to work , and i only have to do this in the ultimate.cgi ?
btw , thanks for helping me out here
thats fine, you do it in any page that you want to customise the print out of the moderators, possibly in forumdisplay also
