admin

[rinspeed]

I would like the globalmoderator to have access to a small admin module, in wich they can see the users, and control the groups/catagories users have access to.

to explain this:

a user visits the forum as a guest. They see a limited part of the board (1 catagory), after registration they still see the same, only they can post in it.
after aproval, they are allowed to see another 2 catagories and are able to post in it also.

and on request they are allowed to see the special member catagory (with all the cooking recipe's)

So the global moderators don't need to change the catagies, they only need to be able to change the group the user belongs too.

Now I have to give them full admin rights to do this. (very scary, since I don't even know what everything means)

this is the forum currently online:

This shouldn't be too hard... just have to give global mods the ability to edit profiles so that they can change member groups.  The rest of that you can do with categories and setting them visible only to certain member groups, and making sure that guest posting is turned off.

That one is easy.  Open up your Sources\Profile.php in notepad or something

Look for this:  (near the very beginning of the file)

Code Select Expand


   $user=urldecode($user);
   if ($username != $user && $settings[7] != 'Administrator')
      fatal_error($txt[80]);


and replace it with the following:

Code Select Expand


   $user=urldecode($user);
   if ($username != $user && $settings[7] != 'Administrator' || $settings[7] != 'Global Moderator')
      fatal_error($txt[80]);


That should give Global Mods and Admins the rights to modify profiles.

It takes a bit more than that, actually...

Have you looked at the Global Moderator Center mod?

Ehh,

this means I have to edit the code of the application.

I'm not really good at that. I'm a bit afraid to edit, because I might goofy it up.

I did not look at any mod regarding this issue.

Should I?

I wil give it a look.

Be careful though, if you give global mods the ability to edit membergroups, they may be able to promote themseloves or others to admin status, unless you carefully take that out

Why is it not working
