I want my moderators to be able to apporove of new members that come in line "regestratoin queue" is there a hack already out? Or can someone help me do this?

Thanks
Patrick

Anyone please help!

In a round-about way that's kind of like me wanting to let my moderator's add/edit their own style templates. There's probably some part of the code detailing just what parts of the control panel they can get into. I mean they already have access to pruning posts so it's probably a question of coding near that section. I printed out every cgi and pl file (took 2 reams of paper!) so I can peruse through and see if I can find it. If I do I'll let you know.

Ethan

Yeah exactly...I am gone alot and I am the only person that can accept new memebrs...but I have 7 moderators...and I want them to be able to do some things also. But not with admin capabilities.

Take a look at the cp_common.pl file in the templates directory. I think that might be it. At least that's all I've found so far. Still looking though.

Ethan

So far I opened cp_common.pl and changed this...
To this...
I can see the choice for styles settings as a moderator but I still can't get into it. That must be in another file. You'll probably have to do something similar in order to give your mods access to the registration que. I'll keep at it!

Thanks man! Ill look at that file.

Patrick you might try:

in cp.cgi

replace


with:



Have your moderators bookmark : http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/cp.cgi?ubb=reg_moderation

or change the drop down menus in your cp to all them to see the registration queue.

HTH

Natas - I will still be able to allow registration correct?
-as administrator?

Natas,
That was the other spot I found today that I thought might affect it. It seems that the first one I found affects what the moderators see in the drop down menus (although I didn't change it right since after it was changed I couldn't see the templates settings as admin) and the second affects whether or not mods have access.

Ethan

Still working on it.

Yeah youll still be able to use it as admin.

Your mods should log into the cp and then use their bookmark...up to you how you want to approach it.

I'm going to take another look at the cp_common.pl file and see if I can't make it work right but in the mean time I'll just edit the permissions in the other file so at least they can access the templates.

Ethan

I SOLVED IT!!

At least I got it worked out as far as the style settings. The same should hold true for your problem as well. Okay...

Step 1. Changing the cp.cgi so that moderators are allowed into certain sections. This is actually VERY easy. For your problem it looks like you need to find the line that says

You want to change it so that it looks like this.
Note the removal of one of the "(" near the begining of the line. That threw me for a sec. I think that's the line you need to change but you might also have to change the one after that that says 'update_q' in it, the same way. That should do it for that step.

Step 2. Making the control panel show correctly to your mods so they can get to that section easily. (I feel like an idiot once I realized how simple this was.) If you look at the cp_common.pl file you'll find this.

What you want to do is COPY and paste that line of code DIRECTLY ABOVE these lines.
Now ABOVE the line you pasted you have to put the following code. (Unless it's already there which it was in my case since the menu I was modifying already had a section that moderators could get into. The members menu doesn't so you have to add it.)

The way the code should now look when you're done is this.


So there you have it! (I may have missed a "}" at some point in my explanation but the final code should be correct.) I gave you an explanation rather than just the code in case you want to give them access to other areas.

Happy Coding!!!!
