Hmm.

So, go to the profile of the newbie who sees the moderate menu, go to the permissions page, what permissions do they have? (Please just list all the permissions, not just the ones you think might be relevant)

So what about the other permissions then? Like board related permissions? There's not 37 items there...

I check the settings and it's all good, The General Moderate board is not even been ticked. and still having the page showing up. Maybe need a little more help of what I need look for or an error in the database

How about you stop trying to second guess what I'm asking for and provide what I'm actually asking for? More permissions than the obvious one give access to the moderation center, which is why I'm asking what permissions are actually being given to the user, not what you think is being given to the user.

I know SMF better than almost anyone else and if you don't provide me what I need to know, I cannot help you - and if I can't help you, it seems unlikely anyone else can. These 64,000 posts and the tens of thousands of lines of SMF code I've worked on aren't just for show.

OK, that's strange.

What happens if the user who can see the moderate area clicks on it? Do they see anything?

As shown in the images, The links work and they see it. I don't know if the other members group can see it as I only have one member in Newbie group.  See images in Attachments

strange indeed, I have looked allover and change settings, and still no luck

Update... Karma does not work for that group, I update soon

This is extremely weird, because that shouldn't happen with the permissions you have. None of the permissions added by mods should change the moderation centre either - and the usual cause is a messed up post count group.

There's also no extra groups attached to that user.

They're not board moderators or anything like that, are they?

it is one hidden permission, in the files that are located on the server. Maybe you like to have an look for me. What files you want me to upload so that you can check

What hidden permission, exactly? How did you determine it was a hidden permission?

its a permission that is only given to mod and admin in a certain bar  no memeber should be able to see that period, Been thought it all. It's an Error for you to work out... An  weird one alright

Is this right? Images in Attachments, this is one and only staff team.

I changed to another theme, and same thing. so it's nothing to do with the theme

You realise that the reason I asked you to show me the list of permissions for that user was specifically to rule this out, right?

So from your second screenshot, you have a user in the Global Moderator group and the Newbie group - this would give them access.

Is it all newbies or just one specific newbie?

Because to be honest everything you've told me and tried to second-guess what I'm asking you has made this *very* frustrating to diagnose and is why I left this topic for a bit of time until I had some time to re-read it and see if anything came to mind.

Empire KickAss

I have one Global Moderator and he is an newbie as well with only 5 posts. Other members are just newbie's with no other member-group Just the post counts group. and they see the Moderate pages, they don't see any currently logs or reports, it shows up blank. for the Global Moderator they see the full logs and reports

QuoteOther members are just newbie's with no other member-group Just the post counts grou

As evidenced by your own screenshots this is not the case ;) Every member is always in at least two groups, a primary group (or Registered Members if no assigned primary group) and their post count group.

And based on this comment:
QuoteI don't know if the other members group can see it as I only have one member in Newbie group.

I am now really, really confused as to what you've done to this.

Update I just got the error log from that member, Newbie group. Images below

-_- it's got nothing to do with the Moderate pages that they are seeing.

well... the error is clearly due to one of the stafflist mods which was not correctly installed... and you will have to ask for help with that mod in the support topic for that mod.

Please do not confuse a thread in which you request help with one thing by posting unrelated things.

Regarding your actual question...
You seem to be contradicting yourself and confusing matters

1- How many users can see the mod center? (all?)
2- You said, many members can SEE the mod center, but only the global mod can actually see information inside the mod center links?

if 2 is correct, then you have CLEARLY made some mistake in modding your site

I had that install, and it was install with no errors, then I uninstalled it..

1. Yes, All
2. Yes, That's right.

Sounds like I have, and sounds I have to restart all over again.

I thought I'll update,

in the subs.php

From
'moderate' => array(
'title' => $txt['moderate'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=moderate',
'show' => $context['allow_moderation_center'],
'sub_buttons' => array(

To
'moderate' => array(
'title' => $txt['moderate'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=moderate',
'show' => $context['is_moderation_center'],
'sub_buttons' => array(


Does not fix the problem, but at less that members no longer see it, Is there away to remove the button and that the Admin and Mod still can see it.

The allow statement was correct as initially written.

Your issue, very clearly, has to do with either a broken mod which is granting people permsisions or bad permissions in Your own settings

there is no bad permissions in my settings, I had it checked over many times, there is no errors there.

Most of the mods I have installed are installed with no errors apart from 2 or 3 where I added the code from using Package Parser

I spent hours in every day and no luck apart from that simple little idea that I posted weeks ago on this thread.

I uploaded the subs.php that's where the error is, and you (SMF Team) would have an better understanding the code more then I. Feel free to take an long at the code

Do you mind PM'ing me the forum URL and creating me an Admin login to have a look around? I had this trouble myself years ago however I forgot how I fixed it.

Sure :) As long as their's no kiddy porn I won't report ya.

By the way if you do sending through the details, don't forget to include old mate's username that can see the Moderation Centre.

Registered a new user belonging too Regular Members and Newbie. Enabled Deny permissions, denied access to moderation centre on Regular Members as well as denying a few more for good measure and my test user could still see the moderation centre and use the features of it.

Defiantly one or more mods interfering with each other. Suggested to OP fresh files than install each of his mods one at a time, testing to see which one(s) are causing the issue.
