Moderating by moderators?

cheesegrits · #1 06-06-2006, 04:15 AM

Is there any way I can allow moderators to approve picture uploads, without them needing to be admins (i.e. without access to the admincp)? Super-mod access would be fine, if there was a modcp, but either I missed something in my install, or there isn't a modcp, only and admincp.

Does the Pro version have a modcp?

The lite and pro versions do not have a modcp available. The pro version will be getting certain moderator abilities in a future release, however PhotoPlog uses canadminforums permission. If you set a user into the Administrators usergroup, and then go to vB ACP -> Usergroups -> Administrator Permissions -> Edit Permissions, you can check yes to only Can Administer Forums to prevent said user from doing anything outside of what canadminforums permission provides.

I had the same question but because there is nothing that could do what i want i made it my self....
So i have added the pannel to the modcp and it is visible only by the moderators who can moderate forum posts and/or attachments (because i use the same privelages...I olso added only the photoplogs admin options i wanted and these are: "Category Manager", "Moderate Files", "Moderate Comments". So heres what i do...
Go to ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Add New Plugin
at the Product select "PhotoPlog"
at the Hook Location select "mod_index_navigation"
at the Title write "Modarators Menu"
at the Execution Order live it as is "5"
and then at the Plugin PHP Code copy past the following code...

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Then open an ftp client and COPY the 3 photoplog files (photoplog_category.php, photoplog_file.php, photoplog_comment.php) from the admincp folder to the modcp folder.
After you do that you have to edit the 3 NEW files from the MODCP.
Go to line 29-30 (to all of them) and change the

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

into

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

after that there is olso one more thing to change....
go to the photoplog folder and edit the settings.php file.
Go to line 173 and change the

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

into

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

To get this to work in version 2.1.4.6 i had to change action in the plugin code from "modify" to "moderate", like this:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

IMHO this should be added to the standard release.

did the above and on the modcp I get the frame to load but instead of giving me any files in the queue or the msg "nothing to moderate" i get nothing.

What could be the problem?

Is it now in the new pro version?

Allowing others to use inline moderation to approve/unapprove files and comments is slated for pro v.2.1.5.
