Great! I have been waiting for this hack for ages. Does it only work on PB 1.4?

It's what i tested it on, you can try and adapt it for earlier betas. Let me know if it works and which one!

Ok I'll install this on a Beta 1.2 and if I get the time 1.4.

I hope it'll work when 6.1 comes out of Beta.

I have some problem with finding this line "unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator')){ " in
Ubb.lib.cgi

So the Mega moderator Is Still a Moderator!

Regards Maximus

That 'unless 'administrator'' thing is in the bottom part of ubb_lib.cgi.

Basically yeah, their mods; just to all boards without being listed.

From the lack of response, i'm guessing it's working for everybody? No errors eh?

Sweeeet, i've got l33t haxoring skills now

I thought more people would be interested in this...

People probably didn't see this hack since it was at the bottom of the page.

Here is some food for thought. I know this is a bit complicated, and I just don't have time to code anything, so maybe if someone is interested in this... A MegaMod hack that allows to moderate all forums except designated ones, the reason for that is I want selected moderators to have Mod access to all forums except Mod Discussion.

anyone tried this on 6.1 final?

Ok I've tried it and there is just one error, it doesn't recognise the megamods as moderators!!!
???

I went through and cleaned up alot of coding. I successfully tested it on 6.1 final. You'll need to redownload from my first post here

Its working for me on 6.1.0 release

I have one problem,MegaMods can see/access private forums they have'nt been granted access to.

I need to stop this,any idea's Anyone please.

Thanks for refreshing my memory,but that still don't help me.I need to stop them from seeing private forums they don't have access to

I just want a little help.

Oh and raiyan Great Hack mate

Sorry i didn't get to this earlier. This is an easy fix(i think )

In ubb_lib.cgi

Find:
unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator')){


Now in the directions, it says to replace it with

unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator') || ($profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator')){

But leave it to this:
unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator')){

to not have megamod's access to private forums unless specified. It should work.

BTW, i'm currently testing it on 6.1.0.2; i will post tonight to tell if it works. So far it works, but i found a bug which i'll squish . Should be ready tomorrow if not tonight.

Thanks for your help,i'm also getting a bug under 6.1.0.2 with MegaMods reverting back to Mods,but i'm never around when it happens lol

I just go back into megamod settings and update,then they are restored.Not much trouble really for a hack we all wanted.

I wonder if this is the bug your squishing
If not it must be a bug i made,i used beyond compare to update from 6.1.0 release to the latest version.

all hacks are working great,just that tiny prob left in megamods

regards
Sc0rps

You got it. That's what i'm working on now. It's being a little difficult. It won't delete the status from profiles, so i know where to start.

Another change is changing 'Megamoderator' to 'Mega Moderator', so this will be compatible with other hacks, such as the stars/status. I was using Megamoderator so it would be easy to remember when i first started this.

Maybe i'll get lucky and get it tonight.

Hey raiyan, any update on this? Some people are reporting really weird errors when they have both my Name Effects hack and Megamod installed. I was wondering when your next version was going to be out so I could start testing in earnest.

I'm having more trouble then i thought. For some reason it's not deleting the megamod status from the profile.

In the new verison it'll have cleaned up code, but i won't release it until i've got the deleting status fixed.

Any help will be accepted. It's just taking too much time for me!

hi m8,

Nice hack but my mod's are now named newbie! The mod that i made megamod have the megamod name.

Help lplease?

Guys while your working on it.....


Can you make the total number of Mega Mods adjustable in the CP somewhere. Like on my boards a mod mods all boards and to be able to say have 6 or 9 or 15 would be a GREAT addition imho. I would love to test this hack for you guys as well, but I REALLY would like it in the MH format. Going to the code level scares me!

Alright, i've never used multihack, but i'll make one for it(shouldn't be too hard), also will be releasing the megamod patch for the jimbo's custom status hack.

Thats great raiyan, I really need that MegaMod addon to the Custom titles/status hack. Also could ya do one for the Authority list (Or I can do it, it's simple). Thanks.

I have the authority list hack, and by first glance of the code, it looks like i can make a patch for that too. I'll test it on my test board, before releasing that too.

It to am using Custom Status and WOL fro qasic.

Also please think about the MH format and being able to select the total number of Mega Mods. That would be great!!!!

ZIP updated with multihack file, and patches to the authority list and jimbo's custom status hack, and upgrade instructions from the previous version.

I've added 4 more spots making it a total of 8 possible megamods. Making it different through cp would be a completely different thing to consider.

The deleting bug is still in there. Which is the only thing holding it back from final. As far as i can see.

Hey raiyan, I released a new version for Authority list not too long ago and it just added it to the main page and a few changes in ubb_auth_list.cgi. Can ya make the addon compatiable there too? Thanks.

I had a syntax error in the cp_custom_status.cgi line 166, near ") ||"

What do you have on line 166 of cp_custom_status?

Ow raiyan i've got several errors in the cp. I rehack it and report what's showing up.

i just installed this hack and it went smoothly but i get this problem

also i have stars status hack installed.

right the error...

when i add a mod to the megamod section all goes well but when i look at there posts they have reverted back to not even being a moderator and they have the status of there posts

ie Diamond (mod i wanted to be megamod) = Member ???

i really need this hack for my board to be honest i should have read the topic fully but i saw the thread stated "pre-final" not having a go just wondered if you can help me.

Thanks very much

Henry, 2 questions.

First, which stars/status hack do you have? There was gamers and there was dark templers. I'll make a patch for both anyway, but i'll post your versions here.

Second, are you saying when your megamod posts, there reverted back to mods? or are their statuses just saying it or what?

right i got Dark templars i think the one harf way down this board i have ubb 6.1.0.2

and not when the post it reverts there status just says Member ???

and i modified the cp_vars_misc.pl so that it would show the option for the megamod name and i put Jnr Admin for the megamods but it dont show that and i cleared the chache 4 times ??

thanks for the reply should i uninstal i always make backups so its not a problem and wait for you to finish the Patch or is the patch easy to do anyhow ????

Thanks very much M8

Yes, you should make backups for all hacks you do.

All right, this should work, though it's not tested. Try this stars/status patch for dark templers version:

http://www.ivegeta.com/starstatus_patch.txt <<-- You'll need to view the source to see it correctly

Please tell me if this works. It should... Once i get positive feedback, i'll include this in the zip.

Hi, um i have a problem lol

ok on the forum summary page and the authority list page it has the megamod listing but it doesnt output my meg mods names at all

Check my UBB to see what i mean

RRRRRRG im also having the junior member problem rrrg uninstalling and waiting till its fixed will check back again thanks for your hack tho lmao

[ 11-23-2001: Message edited by: ssilenthill ]

Hmm... Alright. I just saw lord dexter's updated authority list. I updated the patch file and reuploaded to the zip.

Make sure your up to the new version. I mean making sure in ubb_new_topic.cgi, ubb_new_reply.cgi, ubb_pm.cgi, ubb_lib.cgi, cp_lib.cgi, that Megamoderator is MegaModerator, not the other way around.

Also resubmit your megamod settings do the patch update for the authority list, clear cache and see what happens. It should work.

Do work this hack on 6.1.0.3 ?

This hack does not work on 6.1.0.3. I have installed him tonight. When i give everybody Megamodstatus then the Statusfield below the Username is empty and he have no Modstatus. By 6.1.0.2 works this hack fine.
P.S. Sorry for my english
