[6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1.2 [ Finished ]

UBB.Dev

Description: Adds a bar on your main page which lists all the mods and Admins on your forum. It also adds a new page that lists them too as well as where the Mods Moderate.

Hack By: Lord Dexter & LK

Original Author: LK/Axeone

Requirements: UBB™ 6.2.0 Or Higher & Mod Wordlets.

Demo: None, Sorry. If Anyone Can Supply Me With One Please Mention So Here.

Download: Here

Changes In 2.2.0:
Ported To 6.2
Added where Mods moderate. (What forums, kinda like the team hack version)
New Template File
WOL Tracking.

Changes In 2.2.1
Mega Mod Addon Instructions
Bugfixes.

Changes In 2.2.1.2 (Current Version)
New way of opening file arrays and updating the Authority list
Big fixes.

Planned For 3.0
Auth List Via SSI
Possible CP Controlling

I was going to add CP controlling to the Final version but I will save that for 6.3. Enjoy, report any bugs please.

One Of The Things I Hate The Most Are Capital Letters In The Beginning Of Every Word In The Sentence Like This "If Anyone...." Thing.

Good job tho

It's a bad habit I have.

Here's a demo of this hack!
ElitePage Forums

Your not using 2.2.1.1. I have this on 6.3 but not a 6.2 demo. Nevermind.

LD,

In the new members' forum, LK brought up this point about the Authority List in regard to the stress it puts on CPU

LD, if you're reading this thread, I suggest you to make the modification create a new file with all admins/mods in a new CP tab - Maintanance -> Update Authority List, and update it also whenever moderator settings or a user profile are updated in the CP.

Can this be addressed? Will it be addressed?

Thanks!

Hmmm...really?

So, is he asking I make something like a vars file which puts all the Admins/Mods in there and I call it from there?

Yeah... I posted it in new members cause you read this forum a lot

I'll work on it for my 6.3 version and add it to this version. I shouldn't have finalised this. *Bangs head*

LD asked me for help, so I decided to do it

If you don't want this hack to crash your system, use my improvement - it touches every file but ubb_auth.cgi that I don't like, but it's VERY easy to make it touch it - just copy the lines from ubb_forum_summary.cgi (and $megamods) to ubb_auth.cgi. https://www.ubbdev.com/columns/lk/authority-lk.txt

NOTE: even tho it adds megamod parts to somewhere, it doesn't show the megamoderator line unless there are some megamoderators - so don't worry!

[edit: err, it thinks it's HTML... view source please

]

LK can I add it to the readme? (I'll give you full credit, remember you taught me a lesson on it) And plus I made a few changes to the code for the 6.3 version so yeah.

&LoadTemplate("cp_rebuild_staff_intro");

No Template created. Do you want me to create it? (I think I know how to do this one)

Edit - I made one and it works beautifully. Everything works well.

Oops, the code is: [code][/code]@ readme - Sure, why not

Well I'll replace my code with that.

EDIT - And is has been updated and ready to download.

1. the url is .com, not .net

2. please check what I did with megamods in ubb_forum_summary.cgi - make the $megamods code fit in ubb_auth_list.cgi, then use it in public_auth_list.pl and delete the megamod readme.

LK check out my reply in the 6.3 version.

I did this hack and the word 'authority' is missing at the top. I did change my vars_wordlets. Any idea what I'm missing? Feel like I've already asked this before (for another hack) :

http://thegluefactory.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

vars_wordlets_mods, not vars_wordlets.

And I haven't updated the 6.2 version with all my fixes, so that will come soon too.

Sorry.. that's what I meant, vars_wordlets_mods. I'll wait then.

Thanks.

Beware glue this hack is very CPU intensive ive heard. Your webhosts might not like it.

Thanks Dennis, but I'm moving soon anyway.

So am I w00t.
Gearhost suck anyway. Making me put that damn logo on my site.

And get on msn

Did you even read that post? That is your problem.

You need to put that code into vars_wordlets_mods, not vars_wordlets.

Yeah, I read your post and I corrected myself below it. I did change vars_wordlets_mods, not vars_wordlets.. I just left the word 'wordlets' off the post. There's no reason to be rude to me. I may not know everything you do, but I'm not an idiot.

Can you post your vars_wordlets_mods.cgi's content?

How was I rude? o_O

I just thought you missed that post. My bad.

Someone has a working link to this version?

The link is corrupted and the 3.0.3 version doesn't work on 6.2.1.
