Is there a chunk of code missing with cp_lib.cgi..?
I ask because your instructions tell me to open cp_forums.cgi, replace 2 codes and then close cp_lib.cgi and not cp_forums.cgi. Is there code missing or is it a basic typo?

Thanks,
Oblivion Knight

I also recieved this error when I'd finished hacking the files and tried accessing cp.cgi

There was a compilation error while loading the UBB.classic libraries and data files:

syntax error at ubb_lib.cgi line 1409, near ") ||"
syntax error at ubb_lib.cgi line 1425, near "} else"
Compilation failed in require at /home/liberifa/public_html/umbrella/cgi-bin2/cp.cgi line 113.

Please make sure that you uploaded the CGI and Variables files to the proper directory, permissions are set properly on the files, and that paths in the control panel are set correctly.

Sorry, there isn't. Previous versions called for cp_lib.cgi to be modified but now it doesn't need it.

That error doesn't seem to be with this hack. That error is looking for something with the or '||' syntax. Could you display the lines in and around lines 1409 and 1425 in cp.cgi?

Good to see it ported. I will test it for you later.

Error is found...

$Moderator = $$Moderator;

Should be...

$Moderator = $Moderator;

I re-hacked and everything worked fine with a couple of slight modifications. LD, the typo you mentioned isn't a typo, I left it there when I re-hacked and all is working peachy..

Brett, here's a couple of bug fixes for you:

In ubb_lib_secgroups.cgi:

return 1 if $self->{PRIMARY_GROUP} =~ m/^(administrators|megamoderators)$/);

SHOULD BE:

return 1 if $self->{PRIMARY_GROUP} =~ m/^(administrators|megamoderators)$/;

In cp_common.pl:

document.writeln(" - MegaModerator Settings");'

SHOULD BE:

document.writeln(" - MegaModerator Settings");

In ubb_lib.cgi
You are asked to find this

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

WHICH SHOULD BE:

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

ack friggin spelling errors! Thanks oblivion knight! So everything works the way it should?

Zip file updated to current fixes.

Yes everything is working ok..

I even got a cp patch done for you..
http://www.liberifatali.com/umbrella/ubbhacks/mmcpadd.txt

Feel free to add it to the readme

Almost forgot about that. I rebuffed the 6.2 version of the cp patch with oblivion knights fix.

Right now, i'll make patches to other hacks that may affect this that are currently in the 6.3 beta board.

Glad to hear it's working. Now I can install it.

Hmm...

Yes it's supposed to have quotes. Everything that has a $vars_something{something} needs quotes.

Hmm.. OK.. Just wondered, cause I couldn't find the version with quotes in ubb_lib.cgi

LD, are you sure? I don't think so

CTM, you're right....

Edit: mmcpadd: [code][/code]Does it make sense that Moderators can change forum settings but megamods can't? I think MegaMods should be able to change both General and Forum settings.

You can read me too well LK.

Since when were normal mods allowed CP access?

They always could, they can access Prune and Forum Settings - and choose only their forums.

It's also a good thing if your mods can access IP bans when your not around to ban those troublemakers.

Never knew that, is there anyway to disable mod CP access?

Not really, easiest way is to go through cp.cgi and delete all the permissions for mods to enter.

Problem: My MegaMod's avatar keeps disapearing..

Any way to solve this?

You need to add some code to the avatar files so it allows MegaMod status to use avatars/custom avatars.

brett,
Here's the code you need for avatars to work for MegaMod's properly.. Please add this code to your hack

I'm currently bug testing this code, and so far it's working flawless..

Excellent! I added Oblivion Knight's fix plus this.

[code][/code]LK, that was meant as a demostration. Not an actual appliable fix!

hi I have a question about this mega mod hack.. is it somehow possible to change it so they are considered Junior Administrators instead of Mega Moderators??

Try going to the 'Members' dropdown in the control panel and select 'user titles'. If you hacked everything correctly, there's an option to change the megamod's title to whatever you want.

thanks

Whoops.. Forgot about that one..
Awesome work brett, I think it's working flawlessly now (for the first time ever)..

Good to hear it's all fixed, I think it's safe to install now.

great hack thanks for bringing it to 6.3

this is not realy a problem with megaods rather than an adition to our megamods
ive created another user group called semiadmins
i modified what i could of your files(sorry if this is bad but i was never planning on shareing with credit but yours)
it sets SemiAdministrator in the profile they have admin functions on the forum and there profile in cp shows SemiAdministrator
ive set up there cp access just like megamods but changing it for semiadmins
they can log into the cp fine but when trying to go to the req que it errors and says only admins and mods can perform this function and im locked out of the cp unless i close browesers down

any help would be great

Well, did you set ALL permissions correctly in cp.cgi?

yups all permisions are set correctly its not the normal you dont have access for here msgs

im wondering if its a cookie issue or something as if i send someone the files im sure they would see them as fine as i do

bumping up

Why would you want to bother going through all the coding again when you can just set the 'MegaMod' title to 'Semi Admin' and change the wordlet for it too..? Seems a bit bizarre..

cause we want the megamods also
its just the nature of how ranks and things are for our forum
semiadmins are in charge of a whole section and need to be able to ban memebers aprove them etc

megamods are just below semiadmins in rank and need less cp access but still need it

I sorta see what your shooting at Orb.

It'll be ready tonight.

ahhhhhh
thank you thank you thank you
