H,
seems like I have something to report 
The following line in the config file should make moderator "Support" a moderator in forum 2. Actually it does - but for some reason it shows the member rank Moderator for a few other users too (who are not moderator at all) My moderator config: Code:
$moderators = array(2 => 'Support'  ;Maybe something to look into Edit: Maybe you should also disable smilies in code areas lol |

Actually that's not the way to define moderators. Moderators are on a forumIDs basis. The correct syntax is: Code:
array(forumID1 => array(moderatorID => 'ModeratorName', moderatorID2 => 'ModeratorName2')..); So, if you want to make user 'Support' with userID 2 a moderator for forumID 3 then you put this code: Code:
array(3=>array(2 => 'Support')); If you need to make user 'Support' a mod for forums 1, 3 and 7 then you put: Code:
=array(1=>array(2 => 'Support'), 3=>array(2=>'Support'), 7=>array(2=>'Support')); It is a bit tedious to define mods for every forumID but it's more powerful and saves db queries. |

I understand the line fully (multidimensional associative arrays) and the reasoning behind not implementing it as a db thing, though I do agree it's quite tedious.
I'm not here to beef though. I'm here because it doesn't seem to be working. I've created a user acct for myself with ID 1, a forum with ID 1, and tried associating my username with it via: $moderators = array(1 => array(1 => 'thynctank')); And I don't appear as a moderator. Any ideas? -tank. |

Answered myself yet again. I had it in mind that the "forumID" was the ID of the top-level forum, rather than the sub-forums. Now I understand. Thanks!

I have a similiar issue with the moderator line.
Could you tell me how to write it so that 4 different users are moderators of 4 different forums at the same time? |

| One more question that would make it easier possibly. Is there a setting to make these guys moderators of the entire message board all at once. | ||

It will be easier in v2. All will be done in the admin panel.
4 different person moderators for 4 different forums, meaning all 4 moderate the 4 forums, or each of 4 forums has a single distinct moderator? |

Well I would be happy if all 4 could be moderators of the entire board. The main thing is I need them to have the edit link available for them at all times.
When is v2 coming out? |

Let me know their user_ids and I will give you a new version of is_user_moderator(). Then overwrite the one in /code/functions.php and you'd be fine.
The new version is going to be ready to run this month, but I am not sure I am going to release it that quickly. It will first run on a few sites to weed out the bugs and then I will need to write the upgrade script and the upgrade instructions. |

In code/functions.php find the function is_user_moderator and replace it with this code:
Code:
function is_user_moderator($forum_id, $user_id) { if ($user_id == 663 || $user_id == 540 || $user_id == 455 || $user_id == 583) return 1; else return 0; } Note: this hack will not show the moderators below each forum (if you have set the forum to show moderators). |

| Thanks a bunch. I've used your script for years on my sites. I'm really curious what changes your next version will have. | ||
