Great! I have been waiting for this hack for ages. Does it only work on PB 1.4?
It's what i tested it on, you can try and adapt it for earlier betas. Let me know if it works and which one!
Ok I'll install this on a Beta 1.2 and if I get the time 1.4.
I hope it'll work when 6.1 comes out of Beta.
I have some problem with finding this line "unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator')){ " in
Ubb.lib.cgi
So the Mega moderator Is Still a Moderator!
Regards Maximus
That 'unless 'administrator'' thing is in the bottom part of ubb_lib.cgi.
Basically yeah, their mods; just to all boards without being listed.

From the lack of response, i'm guessing it's working for everybody? No errors eh?
Sweeeet, i've got l33t haxoring skills now
I thought more people would be interested in this...
[ 09-15-2001: Message edited by: raiyan ]
People probably didn't see this hack since it was at the bottom of the page.
Here is some food for thought. I know this is a bit complicated, and I just don't have time to code anything, so maybe if someone is interested in this... A MegaMod hack that allows to moderate all forums except designated ones, the reason for that is I want selected moderators to have Mod access to all forums except Mod Discussion.
anyone tried this on 6.1 final?
Ok I've tried it and there is just one error, it doesn't recognise the megamods as moderators!!!
???

I went through and cleaned up alot of coding. I successfully tested it on 6.1 final. You'll need to redownload from my first post here
Its working for me on 6.1.0 release
I have one problem,MegaMods can see/access private forums they have'nt been granted access to.
I need to stop this,any idea's Anyone please.
Thanks for refreshing my memory,but that still don't help me.I need to stop them from seeing private forums they don't have access to
I just want a little help.
Oh and raiyan Great Hack mate
Sorry i didn't get to this earlier. This is an easy fix(i think
)
In ubb_lib.cgi
Find:
unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator')){
Now in the directions, it says to replace it with
unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator') || ($profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator')){
But leave it to this:
unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator')){
to not have megamod's access to private forums unless specified. It should work.
------------

BTW, i'm currently testing it on 6.1.0.2; i will post tonight to tell if it works. So far it works, but i found a bug which i'll squish
. Should be ready tomorrow if not tonight.

Thanks for your help,i'm also getting a bug under 6.1.0.2 with MegaMods reverting back to Mods,but i'm never around when it happens lol
I just go back into megamod settings and update,then they are restored.Not much trouble really for a hack we all wanted.
I wonder if this is the bug your squishing
If not it must be a bug i made,i used beyond compare to update from 6.1.0 release to the latest version.
all hacks are working great,just that tiny prob left in megamods
regards
Sc0rps
You got it. That's what i'm working on now. It's being a little difficult. It won't delete the status from profiles, so i know where to start.
Another change is changing 'Megamoderator' to 'Mega Moderator', so this will be compatible with other hacks, such as the stars/status. I was using Megamoderator so it would be easy to remember when i first started this.
Maybe i'll get lucky and get it tonight.
Hey raiyan, any update on this? Some people are reporting really weird errors when they have both my Name Effects hack and Megamod installed. I was wondering when your next version was going to be out so I could start testing in earnest.
I'm having more trouble then i thought. For some reason it's not deleting the megamod status from the profile.
In the new verison it'll have cleaned up code, but i won't release it until i've got the deleting status fixed.
Any help will be accepted. It's just taking too much time for me!
hi m8,
Nice hack but my mod's are now named newbie!
The mod that i made megamod have the megamod name.
Help lplease?
Guys while your working on it.....
Can you make the total number of Mega Mods adjustable in the CP somewhere. Like on my boards a mod mods all boards and to be able to say have 6 or 9 or 15 would be a GREAT addition imho. I would love to test this hack for you guys as well, but I REALLY would like it in the MH format. Going to the code level scares me!
Alright, i've never used multihack, but i'll make one for it(shouldn't be too hard), also will be releasing the megamod patch for the jimbo's custom status hack.
Thats great raiyan, I really need that MegaMod addon to the Custom titles/status hack. Also could ya do one for the Authority list (Or I can do it, it's simple). Thanks.
I have the authority list hack, and by first glance of the code, it looks like i can make a patch for that too. I'll test it on my test board, before releasing that too.
It to am using Custom Status and WOL fro qasic.
Also please think about the MH format and being able to select the total number of Mega Mods. That would be great!!!!
ZIP updated with multihack file, and patches to the authority list and jimbo's custom status hack, and upgrade instructions from the previous version.
I've added 4 more spots making it a total of 8 possible megamods. Making it different through cp would be a completely different thing to consider.
The deleting bug is still in there. Which is the only thing holding it back from final. As far as i can see.
Hey raiyan, I released a new version for Authority list not too long ago and it just added it to the main page and a few changes in ubb_auth_list.cgi. Can ya make the addon compatiable there too? Thanks.

I had a syntax error in the cp_custom_status.cgi line 166, near ") ||"
What do you have on line 166 of cp_custom_status?
Ow raiyan i've got several errors in the cp. I rehack it and report what's showing up.
i just installed this hack and it went smoothly
but i get this problem
also i have stars status hack installed.
right the error...
when i add a mod to the megamod section all goes well but when i look at there posts they have reverted back to not even being a moderator and they have the status of there posts
ie Diamond (mod i wanted to be megamod) = Member ???
i really need this hack for my board to be honest i should have read the topic fully but i saw the thread stated "pre-final" not having a go just wondered if you can help me.
Thanks very much
Henry, 2 questions.
First, which stars/status hack do you have? There was gamers and there was dark templers. I'll make a patch for both anyway, but i'll post your versions here.
Second, are you saying when your megamod posts, there reverted back to mods? or are their statuses just saying it or what?
right i got Dark templars i think the one harf way down this board i have ubb 6.1.0.2
and not when the post it reverts there status just says Member ???
and i modified the cp_vars_misc.pl so that it would show the option for the megamod name and i put Jnr Admin for the megamods but it dont show that and i cleared the chache 4 times ??
thanks for the reply should i uninstal i always make backups so its not a problem and wait for you to finish the Patch or is the patch easy to do anyhow ????
Thanks very much M8
Yes, you should make backups for all hacks you do.
All right, this should work, though it's not tested. Try this stars/status patch for dark templers version:
http://www.ivegeta.com/starstatus_patch.txt <<-- You'll need to view the source to see it correctly
Please tell me if this works. It should... Once i get positive feedback, i'll include this in the zip.

Hi, um i have a problem lol
ok on the forum summary page and the authority list page it has the megamod listing but it doesnt output my meg mods names at all

as those also both had linesw of code from the auth list hack but that also did not work, and YES i know how to make those changes i can code a tad bit lmao
Check my UBB to see what i mean RRRRRRG im also having the junior member problem rrrg uninstalling and waiting till its fixed will check back again thanks for your hack tho lmao
[ 11-23-2001: Message edited by: ssilenthill ]
Hmm... Alright. I just saw lord dexter's updated authority list. I updated the patch file and reuploaded to the zip.
Make sure your up to the new version. I mean making sure in ubb_new_topic.cgi, ubb_new_reply.cgi, ubb_pm.cgi, ubb_lib.cgi, cp_lib.cgi, that Megamoderator is MegaModerator, not the other way around.
Also resubmit your megamod settings do the patch update for the authority list, clear cache and see what happens. It should work.
Do work this hack on 6.1.0.3 ?
This hack does not work on 6.1.0.3. I have installed him tonight. When i give everybody Megamodstatus then the Statusfield below the Username is empty and he have no Modstatus. By 6.1.0.2 works this hack fine.
P.S. Sorry for my english
The coding wasn't changed in the places where this hack goes from 6.1.0.2 to 6.1.0.3.
Make sure you set the megamod status in the misc. settings in the cp. This would cause your blank status.
Raiyan just wondering did you get rid of the problem you were having with the Status not changing when de-modded?
I have install the old version from your hack and now it work at 6.1.0.3 but the star/status hack patch doesn't work. At the cp-panel the field for MegaModerator shows not correctly.
[ 12-01-2001 10:05 AM: Message edited by: Hellburn ]
Please get the newest version. And make sure you get cp_lib.cgi and cp_vars_misc.pl hacked right and uploaded.
It is hacked right and does not work the new version (i hacked 3x) but the old version (Megamod 2.5 pb)working fine. I don't know why. Can you please fix the Star/status patch? Thank you
Alright, i'm going to test it tonight from a clean version of ubb 6.1.0.3. I will also put in the newest version of stars/status and let you know the right fix for it.
[ 12-01-2001 07:46 PM: Message edited by: raiyan ]
Great. I hope you can get this hack finished Raiyan.
Just tested it on a fresh 6.1.0.3 and finally killed that demodding bug! Also got the patch for stars/status 6.0 patch.
I suggest you hack from the beginning. Sorry, but i changed alot along the way. Cleared up alot of files.
i see the title now final, so souldent u post a new topic int he final forum now?
I want to see some positive feedback first. Then i'll post it in the final board. just to make sure there's no bugs out there.
[ 12-01-2001 10:43 PM: Message edited by: raiyan ]
I'm gonna test it tomorrow on my test forum.
Thank you @raiyan i test it tonight.
i just dont see how it could be "final" in the "beta" forum
but i do see were your coming form and it is the best way to do it, i would have done the same thing
i give up. The new hack does not work by my, only the old version. When i give everybody megamodstatus than is the statusfeld below the username emty and he have not megamodaccess.
Okay, so your saying what? Are the names showing up in the megamod part of the control panel? or are they still not having the statuses right or do they not have the megamod powers?
Sorry it work fine i have forgott the name for MegaModerator in the cp *g* . Thank you great Hack i test now the Star/status patch.
That's good to hear
Great Job the star/status patch works too.
Alright. I'm pretty confident this hack is finished. I just posted a topic in the final board at this link:
https://ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=31;t=000022
If you have any more questions, please post there.
Mods/Admins please close this.
Can someone show me a hack for simply adding moderators to UBB. Right now i can use up to four. I don't need the megamod features just additional moderators.
Thanks.
I tried the patch for starstatus 6.0 but now my MegaModerator title won't update. It stays blank every time I set it so my MegaMods show up with no title at all.
nice hack... but my megamods are losing their status...
... like right after i put this kid in as one... it works for the most part... but then a few days later it wont let him move topics or anything like that....
... but once i go to the control panel and go to megamoderator settings and click update settings... without changing anything.... then his status is in action...
...can anyone help me?
What version are you running? I know it works on 6.1.0.3 for sure because that's what I'm using.
i used the patch for authority list and rehacked it several times but Megamoderators still dont show up in the authority list
http://xtremerp.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi please tell my why!

I tried that once too. For some reason the MegaMods only show up on the authority list page but not on the main forum summary page.
so does that mean on 6.1.0.3, megamods dont show up on the main page but only on the forum summary page?!
i hacked a few other files too, with my very small knowledge on let alone html, i managed to do some cgi editing, but it still didnt work
The problem may have something to do with the fact that the instructions only tell you how to update it on the authority list page. Theres nothing in there about the forum summary.
If I can understand how the mods and admins show up there then maybe I can fix it. Hold on...

Anyways, this mod has been successfully hacked by many people with the stars/status patch. Which means somewhere you've got a hacking error.
But it could also involve other hacks you've installed, that i didn't account for.
If done correctly, this mod doesn't affect wol in anyway.

i just want to know how to make Megamods show up on the main forum page, thats the only problem im having.
I think it works, like adding megamods to the moderator column?
I'll go check it out on my test board quickly.
Hm.. can't believe i skipped over this. Alright i got a quick fix for it.
In cp_forums.cgi
Find:
if ($Status ne 'Administrator') {
and replace with:
if (($Status ne 'Administrator') && ($Status ne 'MegaModerator')) {
Then find:
if ($Status ne "Administrator") {
Replace with:
if (($Status ne "Administrator") && ($Status ne "MegaModerator")) {
And that will fix it. I'm gonna update the zip file now. Thanks for pointing that out to me!

I seem to be having this same problem - any idea what I am missing?
anyone else tried it on 6.2.0?
I've installed it and there are only a few differences which are obvious, not sure if it's breaking my recent visitors though? but that could be one of the other hacks on my board
It would be nice for everyone to start concentrating on 6.2 don't you think
For the most part, it's the same thing.
In a few days or so, i'll release a beta which will pretty much go into ubb_pntf.cgi, but that's it.
So far, my boards doing fine with it.
