~Thanks m8 my mods been pestering me about this hehe~

Great Raiyan. Any changes from the pre-final in the Beta forum?

probably bug fixes, nice hack!

Yes actually. I had to do alot of changes, throughout. I suggest rehacking. All changes occur in the same places as previous betas of this hack.

Ok well I'll have to re-install it then.

Everything installed fine except that when I went to go to megamod settings it says "You do not have permission to access this area." I'm an admin I should be able to access it. Do you know where I might have gone wrong?

looks like you missed hacking cp.cgi or forgot to upload it.

I feel REALLY stupid, but I updated all the files as said in the install, and uploaded the additional files, but I can't find where I assign mega mods from. I looked all over the CP?

Also, what is the .mhx file in the ZIP?

Well the megamod menu should be in "Primary Settings" you may wanna run thru the code again cause maybe you missed something <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

as for the .mhx file ,thats if you use the www.multihack.com to install your hacks.

Hello.

Great hack BTW, but i have one question.

In the mhx file, i`ll get one error.

Can`t find this somewhere in my file:

[code][/code]

I have also tried to search the file manual, but it isn`t there... <img src="frown.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Hope you can help.

cp_vars_misc.pl
lines 38-40 for me
<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />
good luck

Yes, it is in the primary settings in the cp_common.pl file(in your templates directory).

The directions there are:

Find:
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_mod&r=$ran> - Moderator Settings</option>");

Add Below:

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_megamod&r=$ran> - MegaModerator Settings</option>");


p.s. You guys need to go over EVERYTHING to install. You can't skip anything. It's all in the directions!!

Little problem.

I'm getting that every time I try to edit the MegaMod's rank in the CP. I'm using qasic's custom rank hack, and I'm running UBB 6.1.0.3. Any ideas? <img src="frown.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Rehack both hacks from known good backups.

OK, thanks. But I think I've found out where it is.

[code][/code]

I can't find any of that in either cp_forums.cgi or cp_lib.cgi (I had to look in both cause the instructions didn't make sense). Any other ideas, please? <img src="frown.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Post 24-hour bump.

I think the cp_forums.cgi business is sorted, but now I can't access any area in my CP. I always get the Non-Admin-Or-Mod message ("Only administrators or moderators may perform this action.").

Any help...?

Sorry about that. This is raiyan, i'm at work and don't have my password or ubb files here, so i'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

The code you posted is in cp_forums(near the bottom under sub mods), is to make sure megamods aren't set to mods when they are chosen to be shown in the mod lists. So that can't be the problem.

I believe your problem is in cp_users.cgi. Go back through that file and see if everything matchs up.

As soon as i get home later today, i'll check back.

By the way, what version are you using? If it's the ubb in your homepage link (6.04d), then i can't guarrentee that this hack will work on anything below 6.1.

<font color="#000000" size="1">[ 01-23-2002 12:44 PM: Message edited by: rictor ]</font>

Nope, i was wrong. It's in cp_lib.cgi under sub CheckPermission_CP.

Make sure you have this:

if (($profile[8] ne 'Administrator') && ($profile[8] ne 'Moderator') && ($profile[8] ne 'MegaModerator')) {
print qq%Content-type: text/htmlnn%;
&AppendAdminLog($username, $status, "Log In", "Failed", "User is NOT an Admin or Mod");
&StandardHTML("Sorry, you are not an administrator or moderator, so you may not gain access to the control panel.");
}

Under this:

if ($public_name eq "") {
$public_name = $profile[0];
}

and above this:


#return status
&AppendAdminLog($username, $status, "Log In", "Succeeded", "User is a $profile[8]");

Again, this won't work on versions in the 6.0.x series.

you cant download this hack when you click on the link?
