ok, I found this hack here at ubbdev when searching for a different hack. It seems to be working perfectly without any problems. There are some pipes with spaces in between like | | so you might have to fix those but other then that, it's all good. The hack is at http://www.ffgameronline.com/ubb/MegaMod.txt

Good work HackAttack if you don't mind i posted it fixed so no one has to try to put it togther.

Just curious before I give this a shot -- an earlier mod I tried didn't quite work, didn't preserve the control panel setting (i.e. the mega mod radio button). Does this one behave better for 5.46?

Thanx

Ok, got it installed & everything seems to be working except that even tho mega mod can edit/delete posts he can't post/reply! Any clues where to fix this before I start debugging?

Also, why is the mod in UltBB.setup not using
$MegaTitle = qq(MegaModerator);
(instead of leaving it blank)? Unless it's set, the profile for mega mod is always empty on profile edit.

The past problem of everyone being made admins and no one being able to post has been fixed. uuuummmm.... You could probably change it to that. I forget what I did to that. I changed it some but I don't remember how.

One more bug with this -- the Admin can no longer post announcements! To resolve this a slight change needed in the instruction for mod to announce.cgi -- add the indicated extra code BEFORE (not after, as originally instructed!)

I also noticed that problem. Can you elaborate on how to fix this problem? I'm sort of confused on what you mean.

Ok, I've got all the problems I found resolved & here's the full elaboration -- i.e. everything I changed in the original instructions:


****************************************************************************
*************************** in ubb_library.pl ******************************
****************************************************************************

##
##
## find
##
##
if ($Permission =~ m/Moderator/) {
$AdminMod = "true";
} else {
$AdminMod = "false";
}

##
## add after
##

if ($Permission =~ m/MegaMod/) {
$AdminMega = "true";
$PermissionToWrite = "true"; # **MY FIX **
} else {
$AdminMega = "false";
}


**************************************************************************
*************************** in announce.cgi ******************************
**************************************************************************

## this give mega mod admin status for announcement
##
## find
##
##

if ($Status =~ m/Administrator/) {
$AdminStatus = "true";
} else {
$AdminStatus = "false";
}

##
## add BEFORE (not after as originally instructed!)
##

if ($Status =~ m/Mega/) {
$AdminStatus = "true";
} else {
$AdminStatus = "false";
}

*************************************************************************
*************************** in UltBB.setup ******************************
*************************************************************************

##
##
## find
##
##

$AdminTitle = qq(Administrator) # may be different admin name

##
## add under that line
##

$MegaTitle = qq(MegaModerator); # **not blank as instructed **

HackAttack, Worked like a charm. I'm wondering if you're getting the same problem I am, mods can't seem to be able to veiw IP #'s. It might not be this hack but I suspect it is. Help me out here if you can.

Hi Logix,

Glad it worked so far for you. About the mod thing, I'm sure you know mods can view IP addresses only in the forums they're moderating, not everywhere ... & that works as expected for me. However, the Mega mod can view IP everywhere & that also works fine for me. Any of these work for you?

lol... Sorry, that was the problem. the mod was trying to view IP #'s outside of their forums. ok, everything seems to be working. I'm having problems with another hack but it's totally unrelated to this hack. hehe...

you made an installation error using mine then...

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

Where have all of you been, this mod was posted in the Finished Mods Forum for a long time and is still their. The bugs and stuff are already fixed.

See This Thread
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000348-2.html

templar i'm pretty sure i didnt...im having the same problem as that guy is in that post that Dragoon linked to....

when i make someone a mega mod, all users become admins except mega mods, and no one can post

and when i try and change it back from the control panel it justs stays the same way
