Great mod, but one tiny problem. What if someone whom is admin (and not root admin) were to uninstall this package? How can you prevent them from doing so without deleting the package and/or preventing them from adding packages?
This is a very good mod. But the problem is like, I bought the site when i had a different user number, Hence i am not like the number 1 admin. So how shall I change the permissions to keep me safe rather than the profile 1 ?
I am sorry to disrupt your free time, but it would be great if you can help.
Thank you.
great
Very nice mod, It will come in handy when I need to add some more admin to my website! :)
Thank you!

Well, you can try the button that says 'HELP' Or just Click 'HOME' press CTRL F and find the word: Help
Ahh.. what am suppose to do with the "Help" Option ? How will that help me ?

Nice mod Johny ;)
Great work Eliana :)
-[n3rve]
@ Eliana Tamerin
I did all the edits you told me to do, but yet the option doesnt show up in Account Related Settings.
Any file that you might have missed which I have to edit ?
I have also checked that the number 1 account has been deleted. I mean the admin account who owned the site long back.
So any way to make myself the user 1 ? I am at the moment the user 9
Thank you for your time to help me out.
LOL, you could have said that! Just change your user ID in the database.
oh seriously.. was that it ? If i would have changed my user ID in database, everything yould have worked well ?

LOL, you could have said that! Just change your user ID in the database.
Bad idea. It would be hell to have to update every single table to preappend his new ID.
Oh, true. But i dunno. The mod was made for User Numero Uno. Guess JB will have to put his head to it.
So well.. No new ideas as such ? That can change the user ID ? I changed all the "1" to "9" in all the edits you asked me.
Actually it is not that important as i have set permissions that users can delete their own account only. Only me as the owner a.k.a admin of the site can delete other accounts. But yet securing other accounts is somewhat a good idea.
Why do these type of problems come to me..!! :(
Tell me if anything is possible.
Thank you.
Just remember that you will probably need to alter most other tables in smf, because there are a lot of tables that use the 'ID_MEMBER' column. You will have to have those values for every table that uses that column, or there will be major errors.
Queries like this will work (for SMF 1.1.5, use id_member for SMF 2 Beta):
QuoteUPDATE {$db_prefix}table
SET ID_MEMBER = '1'
WHERE ID_MEMBER = '9'
You will have to run that query, quite a few times. ;)
I can think of a few, like messages, boards, topics, PM, PM recipients, members, log_*, etc.
Indeed, you will have to run these other queries as well, for specific tables:
QuoteUPDATE {$db_prefix}topics
SET ID_MEMBER_STARTED = '1'
WHERE ID_MEMBER_STARTED = '9'
QuoteUPDATE {$db_prefix}topics
SET ID_MEMBER_UPDATED = '1'
WHERE ID_MEMBER_UPDATED = '9'
QuoteUPDATE {$db_prefix}personal_messages
SET ID_MEMBER_FROM= '1'
WHERE ID_MEMBER_FROM = '9'
They are the only extra queries apart from the 'ID_MEMBER' ones that I could find for SMF 1.1.5.
Everything is going bumper.. Isnt there a easy way out ?
Nice mod! Love it...

A great mod that evens the odds with other forum software. Great work!
Wow, I was off for a day and here's what I got. Lots of messages.
@F.L.A.I.M.E.R.
Just create another account and change the ID to 1 to make that account the Super Admin.
I thanks you guys for the kind words and help.

Yep sure, but how ? From database ? Thats where the complications come up. I was searching for a easier way out. Thought there might be some solution. Well, as you are the Mod maker, you maybe having some ideas ? Please share up to make life easy.
Thank you.
Register a new account and then change the ID_MEMBER to 1 from database.
*cough* *cough* after checking it 3 times i got to know that i didnt edit one of the line in profile.template.php which Eliana Tamerin gave me. If not then, I rechecked everything up with the package parser but didnt compare it here. About 2-3 numbers to be edited where not given up here. (Wasnt bothered to check).
Well, Finally worked.. Cheers to all... Party at my house... :D
Congratz! Let's have a drink. Cheers. :)

You can delete the package so it won't show up in the list of installed mods.
One little problem jonhy: my Global Moderator CANNOT edit mermbers profile, the mod give them errors, so they cannot for example, change usergroup to each user.
Can you elaborate more edi67. Like what part of the members profile are they trying to modify? The mod is only for admin#1 and has nothing to do with any other membergroups permissions.

part that my global mods want elaborate is
ACCOUNT SETTINGS of user profile appear this error:
An Error Has Occurred!without mod everything work.
Leave it uninstalled for now. I will check the 2.0 b3 version. Thanks for letting me know.
<edit>
Sources/Profile.php, find
'any' => array('profile_identity_any', 'manage_membergroups') && $memID != 1,
and replace with
'any' => array('profile_identity_any', 'manage_membergroups'),
'enabled' => $memID != 1,
OR download the new updated package. Thanks.

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

@ hawaii
Do you have user online today mod installed ?
If yes then do the edits manually for the files, the test has failed.
If no then use another version of this mod as it is for the people who havnt got user online today mod installed.
Hope that helps you out.
thankyou will check that out now.
Thanks guys. The mod is temporary unavailable because of a bug. Please uninstall the mod. I'll let you know when the bug is dead.
Bug fixed. The mod is up again. Thanks.
Only the version for SMF 2.0 Beta 3 that has bug. The one for version 1.1.5 is bug-free.
what what..?? What was the bug.? Anything major ?
Nothing major if you upgrade.
Yes, Eliana is right. Grab the latest upgrade. Thanks Eliana.
hi, sorry im still having the same probs, i have the users online today ive installed both packages and im getting the same probs with both.
Sorry to sound abit dim but im usless with this type of thing but i really do need this package and would be gratefull for any help
many thanks.
@hawaii
Have you tried installing the mod manually? Any success?
Update:
Post group members cannot access/edit their Account Settings because of a misplaced round bracket. I apologize. It's the package for SMF 1.1.5 that was affected.
edit
For those who don't want to uninstall/reinstall the mod and want to edit the code, Sources/Profile.php.
if (($context['user']['is_owner'] && allowedTo('profile_identity_own') && $memID == 1) || allowedTo(array('profile_identity_any', 'manage_membergroups')) && $memID != 1)
if (($context['user']['is_owner'] && allowedTo('profile_identity_own' && $memID == 1)) || allowedTo(array('profile_identity_any', 'manage_membergroups')) && $memID != 1)
'spy mode' does not work with tiny portal.
A spy user is still displayed in the TP "users online" block.
Ah, I forgot about Tiny Portal. I'll update the package for version 1.1.5 then. Thanks Basie.
Awesome, thanks JohnyB. Great mod btw. Very useful feature. :)
Thanks Basie. The package is already updated. I forgot to post about the update.
I have a question about installation using the package manager.
I have SMF 115 and TP installed. Do you think that it is because of the TP I get this one error on file #9?
I am running the default core theme that is a little bit tweaked. http://www.luckie8.com/forum (http://www.luckie8.com/forum) if you want to see it.
This is the error I get for the one file #9:

Thanks!
Any help would be appreciated.
Tiny Portal uses SSI.php so TP has nothing to do with other files. You can manually edit the file that failed the test by using the parser. Find the ManageBoards.template.php and do the neccessary edits.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1306;attach=65141;smf_version=1.1.5
Johny,
Thanks for the quick reply. I will do as instructed.
Thanks a lot!
It sounds like a great mod but I'm using SMF version 1.1.6 and it don't like that version and see that it states that it is for 1.1.5 only?
I get 4 not compatible messages with V1.1.6 when I try to install it.
I get this message:
Error in Package Installation
3. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs-Boards.php Test failed
6. Execute Modification ./Sources/BoardIndex.php Test failed
9. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/ManageBoards.template.php Test failed
10. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php Test failed
Is there an updates version in the works? Or something that I can do?
You have to install the mod manually Mr_Lon. There must be lots of mods installed. The first three files are only few lines with one line each to edit. The Profile.template.php is the biggest one. I will help you with the last one if you'll do the first three. Attach your Profile.template.php if you want me to edit it.
There is a flaw in the mod, the forum still keeps track of when user was last active, including time. So it's not a perfect spy mod unless that issue is solved. Besides that, the mod is great ;)

I don't know if you can call it a flaw. I'll listen to any suggestion.
Johny,
I am wondering if mine didn't install properly.. You fixed my error I posted before but now I get this one:
'label' => $txt['hide_from_list'],
Rather, the error is that line.
I looked in the install.english.php file and it isn't in there.. Can you please tell me what to add?
Thanks.
- Greg
You didn't mention what error you got. Anyway, if "undefined index", then you have to add
$txt['hide_from_list'] = 'Hide Super Admin from list of installed packages?';
to your default/languages/index.english.php. Mahe sure the
$txt['no_way'] = 'Sorry, You are not allowed to access this section.';
is also there.
Added those 2 along with the first one you gave me.. Those seem fixed...
Thank you!! LOVE this mod. (came in handy just this last week when I fired an admin, and she went on a spree..tried to delete my account.. I installed this just the day before (just in case...lol).)
@SpectroPro
Good to know it's working now. That's the purpose of this mod, in case other admin get mad at you. :D
@Mr_Lon
Here's your edited Profile.template.php. Use this file after installing this mod. Don't forget to make a backup.

Super Admin
- Hide important information of admin#1 from other admins.
Spy members are:
- Invisible and cannot be seen by members or other admins.
Spy Profile:
To be a complete spy, there should be no revealing info on Admin #1 being there. Yet they are "logged" by the "Last Active" feature of the forum profile. If members see the "Last Active" time still counting, it does get suspicious, especially for angry admins ;)
Anyway, I'm just giving you a tip on how to further the "Spy" feature of this mod better.

If you stay as spy, the "Last active" will be "never". I didn't hide lots of info because other admins might get suspicious. You can create another account as admin for yourself and keep the Admin#1 as spy if you want. That's what I did.
Maybe an option to hide admin#1's profile from everyone will be better. And that only admin#1 can enable/disable the option. Thanks for your suggestion.
Hi I would like to install this mod but I get failed tests on Subs_boards.php, profile.template.php and settings.template.php
I understand in such cases one is to manually install the mod for those files.
Question is how? Do I follow the .xml instructions? I have done so before I believe. Also, can I install the mod and then modify the failed files? Or will I have to install everything manually?
Thanx
I personally edit the failed files before I install the mod..
So on the screen that shows you the errors, just click the page icon on the left and open the failed file information. It shows you what it is looking for and what it wants to change it to.
Now, open that file in your editor.
If it failed, it couldn't find what it was looking for. So, just do a search for the first line or couple lines of code.. NOT all of it. MOST likely, the culprit is another mod moved something that this mod was looking for at the start or end. So, not a big deal...
When you manually find the code it was looking for, verify it is all there. (what is in your file is what you see in the little pop up window showing you what the mod wants...)
Now, copy the code from the bottom part of the pop up window, which is your new code, and replace the original with it.
Save your file.
Repeat for any other files that failed.
Once you have changed ONLY the failed files manually, go ahead and click the install button. It will do the rest of the files normally and your mod should now be installed and working as intended. :)
I hope that helps.. I have done this soooo many times, I find this to be the easiest way. The same goes for when you uninstall a file and get failures.. Just fix the failed files first, then click uninstall.
Again, 99% (probably 100%) of the problems are literally just an added line space, or different line at the end of the code it is searching for.

Greg is currently listening to: Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' with Disaster (http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/molly+hatchet/track/flirtin+with+disaster)
via FoxyTunes (http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/)
I see. I don't always stay as "Spy", I just do it when I actually want to spy. I guess I didn't explain myself right, I just wanted the "Last Active" counter to stop counting when I go into spy mode, that way it will give the illusion that I've logged out of the forums.
@Adalla
Yes, you have to follow the xml install file. Or you can use the in-built parser.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1306;attach=68228;smf_version=1.1.5
@machmanx
While you are in spy mode, your "Last Active" will display "never" but when you get out of spy mode, it will display the time you logged-in/out. That's why I suggested to create another account and leave the Admin#1 always in spy mode.
Thanx, just installed some other mods manually using XML, I'll get to it sometime.
I installed it on another forum that has fewer mods, and it worked, except it's on TP so I havnt checked yet, but I guess the spy feature wont work as I hard someone say it will be displayed in TP's user online.
Also, I dont see a "hide package' option under 'current theme' for the Babylon theme...and if I try to delete the package it gives me a warning that i might not be able to uninstall the package if I delete it.
I was waiting to install the super admin mod in new smf 2.0.4 though earlier i was using 1.1.6.
Now i had a small prob. May be relevant to the super admin mod.
Whenever i as a Admin = 1 = post new message or reply. It shows the post needs to be moderated by an moderator.
Then i have to click approve button to post the message.
Will there be any issue due to super admin mod.
Thanks a lot for Johny B for developing this useful mod.
@Adalla
You have to manually edit your custom theme's Settings.template.php.
'description' => $txt['hide_post_group_desc'],
),
);
'description' => $txt['hide_post_group_desc'],
),
);
if ($context['user']['id'] == 1)
$context['theme_settings'] = array_merge($context['theme_settings'],array(
array(
'id' => 'hide_from_list',
'label' => $txt['hide_from_list'],
)
)
);

Hi Johny B,
Am not sure what you have mentioned.
Could you please tell me what i have to do to over come this issue.
What I mean is one of your admins might had issued you a warning.
Sir, i got it.
Am the olny administrator and other two were only global moderators in side my forum.
I used this mod on 1.1.6 with no errors, GREAT mod. However, on the mod download page, it states that this is compatible with 2.0b4, yet when I try to apply the mod, it says: Installations actions for "Super Admin with UOT":
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
So yeah, the board is heavily modded, but it's generally fewer mods than I was running on 1.1.6
I'm perplexed. Is the current 115_UOT version supposed to work on beta 4 as indicated?
@asudhakarUninstall the mod and see if it is the cause of your issue.
@TrinnySuperAdmin115_UOT.zip
- Contains installation codes for those who installed "Users Online Today" mod.
- It's for version SMF 1.1.5 only.
SuperAdmin.zip
- For version SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 with or without "User Online Today" mod installed.
- It is also for version SMF 1.1.5 without "Users Online Today" mod installed.

So I needed to backtrack some mods and find out what's happened to my stats page, and am having a really hard time removing this one. I did the manual install but never really got around to editing my theme for it, It was never really causing a problem nor did I ever notice it working... no harm no foul. Since my Stats page is wacky and getting an error and I think that it's the UOT MOD but it's not cooperating on uninstall either.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/SMF/Sources/Stats.php on line 198
I can't seem to uninstall the superadmin mod or The UOT mod I was wondering if maybe some one here could help me out.
i have smf 1.1.6 and a different theme not default...can this be installed still..it sounds great..sure hope so..and im fairly new at code etc...will it install thru acp or do i have to have edits in themes???thx in advance....
I have a suggestion for the next version for older forums like mine.
We no longer have a #1 user anymore. Rather than go through the stuff surrounding changing someone to #1 that I saw mentioned, can you add the option to assign someone as the super admin?
QuoteHide important information of admin#1 from other admins.
How i can do that?? others account admins in my forum can view my details (IP, EMAIL ecc ECC) my Globa ìl Mod too can view them.
Which information must be hidden ? and how
thx for reply johnny
@HateFlavor
This mod didn't touch the Stats.php. The only help I can do is to check your Stats.php and try to fix the error. You can attach the file if you want.
@BCK
If it installed without error, I don't think you need to edit any files.
@RustyBarnacle
Who would you like to assign a Super Admin?
@edi67
This mod hides important information of admin #1. The other Admins cannot access the admin #1's "Account Related Settings". Like Real name and display name, membergroups, email address, password etc. No one can delete super admin's account even the super admin. :)
Myself. We have 3 admins now but I'm by far the most active one. I'm user #34.
thx for your responce...wasnt sure im pretty new at this..awesome can be done thru acp...thx again
just installed..no problems or errors..awesome thanks ..great mod..

Hehe, well if its that easy thats great. :)

Hi,
I just installed this mod, and now get a Database Error when i visit my forum.

@RustyBarnacle
Can't you use member #1 account as the Super admin?
@Anticipation
Are there any files failed the test when you installed this mod? Please unimstall the mod and then reinstall it. See if that will get rid of the error. The spy field was not added to the database I think. Let me know how things goes.

while using this mod, one of the other admins was able to change my member group (done as a test).
Additionally, when a theme setting is set to show the users names who are viewing the thread, Spies are visible to everyone while viewing any thread. I've skirted this by turning off the option to show who is viewing a thread, but it's a band aid, not a cure.
@Trinny
Which version? The 1.1.7 or the one for 2.0 Beta 4? The other admins should have no access to member #1's account. Are you using member #1's account?

2.0b4 and yes, I'm user 1. There were no failed tests when I installed, and the mod itself is throwing no errors in the log. I was in spy mode one moment, and the next moment, had no access to administrate forumside. My usergroup had been easily changed by another admin.
Not sure Trinny but the mod works in my test forum. I'll look at the codes again. Meanwhile, uninstall this mod if it is not working for you.
I'll try changing the mod to my user number as this is a very old forum and I've only been on a few years.
The number one user has been deleted and so we don't have one anymore.
I suggest to create a new account and by using PhpMyAdmin, change the new account number to #1. I am not comfortable making a revised version because I don't want other admins using it without admin #1 knowing. I don't want other admins to use this mod against admin #1. I hope you understand.
Totally.

None of the files failed the test.
Also, i uninstalled the mod; It's not listed the Browse Packages section, anymore. It didn't help.
If it matters, the forum is SMF 2 beta 4, and the database is sqlite.
Thanks.
Sorry about that. I'll make changes to the code and see if it will work for you.
I installed this mod, no problems at all, it shows on the admin panel that it was successfully installed and everything...but How can I make someone a superadmin? I have on specific user that I want to promote to superadmin, but I can't seem to find this option on member's control...
Hi,
I have smf 1.1.7 and this mods gives me an error when trying to install it.
The error appear to be in the Subs-Boards.php file. I've edit the file myself and the string b.boardOrder, b.countPosts, b.memberGroups, b.ID_THEME, b.override_theme, isn't there...
Could this be the problem?
My default language is not English.
Some weeks ago, when I've start to installed the forum, this mod installed successfully, although it didn't worked very well, because I was the admin #1 and when making a test with another admin, I was able to delete myself...
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
ENRESINADO
@Pinball Wizard
You can't. Super admin is only admin#1. Super admin can assign spy tho. That's all.
@ENRESINADO
Another mod added something in that line I guess. You can add it yourself manually though. In Subs-Boards.php, find
function getBoardTree()
and about 8 lines below, you can find at least the "b.boardOrder". Add " b.admin1, " (no quotes) before or after it and you'll be fine assuming it's the only issue you have.
Thanks JohnyB, I'll try it and give you feedback after.
Did it work ENRESINADO? If you want me to do it for you, attach the file to be edited to your post.

Configuration: SMF2.0 beta4 + SP 2.1.1. + Super Admin mod (1.3)
I tested the Super admin mod in SMF+TinyPortal configuration and the Stats Box, wich shows the users online, will hidde the super admin from other users and admins, displaying the Admin(spy) name only for yourself.
But the SimplePortal Who's Online block will show the Super admin to the other users and admin, diplaying the regular Admin name in list.
What should I look for to modify to make this "hidde Super admin from others" mod working properly with Simple Portal?
@a3des
You need to add five lines of code to Simple Portal. I will update the package to support SimplePortal and ezPortal. Download the new package and reinstall the mod.

hi great mod but there a bug or has not this function
when i turn on Show who is viewing the board index and posts function.. super admin is shown as hide user in any topic
can you fix that?
thanks
I keep getting this error when anyone views the portal
http://monsters-mansion.com/index.php

Thanks in advance for any help.
@panzz
There might be a problem with your Load.php. Did you install the mod manually? Attach your Sources/Load.php and I'll take a look.
@pinoypetfinder
I'll take a look at the ultimate profile file when I have time. I'll see what I can do.
@romper
Attach your Sources/Load.php too and I'll see what I can do.
@minos
Sorry about that. I'll fix it. Wait for the next update sometimes tomorrow. It will be version 1.5
@mrtrc266
Attach your Sources/Load.php. Your Load.php probably failed the test and the parser didn't add the code.
Here is my Load.php, I have installed it manually a few times(failed the test probably due to my other mods) myself by following the steps over and over again, once I am done with that and uploaded it to the server, the entire site simply failed to display.
Anyway, really appreciate your time and effort for taking a look at this problem.
Thanks.
Here is my load.php
THX.
maybe you can add a function to hide status in mkportal?
much of use use this as a smf portal
@romper
You guys should learn to edit manually. Your edited Load.php is attached. Use this file after installation.
@minos
Sorry, I don't use mkportal.
@panzz
You should also learn how to edit files manually as I don't have anymore time. This could be the last edit I am making for this mod. Load.php attached.

yes, will do. Thank you very much once again.
i updated my super admin mod with the newest version, but i noticed that even the "forum admin" can no longer see the member they assiged me to be a spy?
[and yeah, pls take a look at the ultimate profile :P i really want this mod hehe]
@pinoypetfinder
Only admin#1 can see spies. Other admins cannot see spies even theirselves if assigned as spy. Sorry about the ultimate profile. No time for it.
ooh okay. because on the previous version that i installed, i was able to see the other spies on the "Users Logged In Today" [i can see them if they're online through that]. then i installed this
SuperAdmin117_UOT.zip
* Contains installation codes for those who installed "Users Online Today" mod.
* It's for version SMF 1.1.7 only.
i can no longer see the spies even on the "Users Logged In Today".
and another thing we noticed just now (a member just told me this) that on the "who's online" page, the Guest and Registered members are now in the same table. is this really supposed to happen? [because i had them seperated before, Members/Guest/Spiders]
*EDIT : fixed this already. when i tried to install the mod, i had a test failed on who.template.php so i modified it manually using the package parser. the package parser says i need to replace a line with a code that have something like "foreach ([$context] $members as $member)" ; i did. and my who's online list got messed up. i looked on my other files, and found this "foreach ($members as $member)" i changed it back to that one and it all got fixed. i'm not sure but i think that "$context" is the one that caused errors.
What the mod does is only add a line of code
if (!$member['spy'] || $context['user']['id'] == 1)
after the
foreach ($context['members'] as $member)
statement. Maybe there's a conflict between that code and with the edits you made. Not sure. Can you attach your Who.template.php file?
I am trying to get the Skype Ventrilo mod to work on my test site. It seems to install fine with the exception of profile.php, profile.template.php and load.php. I did the manual install on those 3 files as per the parser. The problem I'm having is getting the other messengers from the Skype Ventrilo mod added in the profile.template.php.
I tried to add the coding like it shows the other "default" messengers, but all I got was an error starting on line 286, I think, when I try to go into a profile.
We seriously have NO clue what we're doing, but we're trying to muddle through with coding. The forums have been a great help and teaching aid, but we've gotten stuck here.
If anyone can help us get our heads on straight and figure this out, I'm hoping we can figure out how to re-package the Skype Ventrilo mod to release it as an upgrade so other people can use it with 1.1.7. The credit will stay with the original author.
Any and all help is always appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Flip
ps - running SMF 1.1.7 with Super Admin and about 100 or so other mods installed on a test server that is not accessible from the web. However, if someone needed to check it out, we can put it up on a live server, just would take a little time for that - like a couple of hours because of upload speed and I'm blind and don't get around on the computer as fast as others. Thanks, Flip
I am totally confused over this mod. I am not interested in using it as a spy, but to prevent moderators from being able to ban me..the sole owner and Admin of my site.
I got Super Admin installed just fine. (am doing this on my test site right now). I am user #1.
So I get a friend to help me test. I set up a 2nd Admin account, and had them use that to see if they could ban me.
They could.
So am I in err in thinking this will prevent me from being banned by my mods and or other Admin?
@ke4obtSorry but I have no idea what Skype Ventrilo mod is. I'm afraid I can't help you.
@Kat-2My understanding is that no one can ban group#1 (Admins) that's why this mod didn't touch that ban part. If your admin tried to ban another admin, they should get this error.
Quote$txt['no_ban_admin'] = 'You may not ban an admin - You must demote them first!';

I don't get what is wrong then. I had the person I set as Admin to test again to see if he could ban me, and he could.
Then I had him make a Global Moderator account and log on to see if he could ban me as #1 Admin, and he could.
What am I missing? Is there something I need to do after I have the Super Admin mod installed?
Were you actually banned?
Quote from: Bulakbol on January 25, 2009, 10:18:52 PM

Yes
When I tried to login I got a message saying ''Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!''
I am not sure about the banning. This mod as I said before has nothing to do with bans. All I know about ban is that SMF does not allow Admins to be banned by email address or by name. Not sure about banning by IP and by Host name. If you think this mod is causing ban issue, try uninstalling this mod and test again.

Oh no. The mod itself is not causing a ban issue.
When I first started my smf forum, moderators could ban me as Admin. I tested that with one of my moderators right after I started it.....so I am not sure what you mean by ''SMF does not allow Admins to be banned by email address or by name'', because I know they can be...since I tested.
That is what I thought Super Admin would prevent. As it is now, I just do not allow any of my moderators have banning powers, when actually I would like to..but not about to allow someone to get mad at me and ban me. kwim??
I am now guessing Super Admin does not prevent Admin #1 from being banned...though I thought it said it did.
I thank you for the help.
I took a quick look at ManageBans.php and found this so I thought no one can ban admins.
Quoteelseif ($_POST['bantype'] == 'user_ban')

$_POST['user'] = $func['htmlspecialchars']($_POST['user'], ENT_QUOTES);
$request = db_query("

WHERE memberName = '$_POST[user]' OR realName = '$_POST[user]'

if (mysql_num_rows($request) == 0)
fatal_lang_error('invalid_username', false);
list ($memberid, $isAdmin) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);

I wish that were the case, but is not on my test or main forum. :(
I tried banning the Admin.

hi bulakbol,
sorry just now. took some time off hehe.
anyways, here's my who.template.php file
*i think i removed the spy mode settings here because now we (the other spies) can see what each others are doing.
thanks in advance for looking :)
Sorry pinoypetfinder. Your Who.template.php is not the original one. I'm afraid I can't help you with this one.

Uninstall the mod and see if it is the cause of your issue.
I have got a solution for this issue,
Mod conflicted and reason for this issue - Post Unapproval mod.

Sorry pinoypetfinder. Your Who.template.php is not the original one. I'm afraid I can't help you with this one.
hi, can you recheck this one?
i have this on my theme directory and labeled as "whoDEFAULT" - so im thinking maybe this is the default one.
also, the one I previously attached, i think it only has the spider/guest/members separator?
@pinoypetfinder
Yes, that's the default Who.template.php. I attached the edited file. The first file is a custom Who.template.php that separate spiders and guests.
thanks bulakbol.
also, is it possible to install the super admin mod together with the spider guest separator mod? i thought the updated super admin version does that :P
Sorry. Customizations only edit the default files. I don't use custom Who.template.php so I can't help you.
I'm getting a couple of errors when I try and install this mod. I just upgraded from 1.1.7 to 1.1.8
Can someone have a look at them and suggest what I might need to do to sort them out.
Thanks
@Teal
There should be a conflict with other mods you installed. You have to manually edit the files in question.
What am I looking for in particular withing these files?
Thanks

Wow, this is a great mod... I like it, too... but I am too shy to ask for help now.. Maybe some other time. Btw, your mods are really good! :)
Thanks ManilaGurl. You can install this mod as long as all files pass the test. :)
Hi, does that mods has the function with will er...make other admin cant see and cant access some mods in their admin panel as those mods don't really existed??

A great mod that evens the odds with other forum software. Great work!
IDK about you but SMF blows other forum software out of the water. Fin.
I have a question about this, it may have already been answered but oh well...
If the package isn't hidden from other admins, can they remove it or not?
I can't install this mod because I have errors on this files:
3. Add Before ./Sources/Subs-Boards.php Test failed
3. Replace ./Sources/MessageIndex.php Test failed
3. Replace ./Sources/Display.php Test failed
1. Replace ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php Test failed
Can you help me please?
@Stigmartyr and Lawrence
Other admins can uninstall this mod if they can see it. Admin #1 should hide it. If you are admin #1, go to Admin => Current Theme and enable (tick) the check box for "Hide Super Admin from list of installed packages?".
@AlenNS
I'll see what I can do when I have time.

@edi67
Download the package for RC1 and check the files. I believe I used lowercase. No camelCase.
mmm...I was able to delete my admin #1 account inside of my own account (I know stupid...but I thought it was to protect against deletion). Had to manually reset the userID on my test account from #2 to #1 and change around some stuff.
I was able to delete myself by going into Admin>Members>Members then placing a check next to my name and clicking on remove selected member.
How can I disable that ability for everyone (including myself)? Thanks!
5. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManageBoards.php Test failed
Got this error. What do I do?
Hi, is there/could there be a version of this mod without the spy user functionality? I just don't want that extra bulk. Thanks in advance.
@mlw4428I'll look into it but no promises. Too busy atm.
@Mechanical KarasuQuote from: Mechanical Karasu on April 19, 2009, 09:25:48 PM
5. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManageBoards.php Test failed
You have to edit your ManageBoards.php manually. It is only 3 lines.
@mlw4428I'm sorry. Removing that functionality is like making another mod. But if you want to remove the spy prompt from profile, comment-out or delete snippet of code. For version 1.1.8, edit default/Profile.template.php.
if ($context['user']['id'] == 1)
{
echo '
<tr>
<td width="40%"><b>', $txt['spy_prompt'], '</b></td>
<td><input type="hidden" name="spy" value="0" /><input type="checkbox" name="spy"', $context['member']['spy'] ? ' checked="checked"' : '', ' value="1" class="check" /></td>
</tr>';
}For version 2.0, edit Sources/Profile-Modify.php.
'spy' => array(
'type' => 'check',
'label' => $txt['spy_prompt'],
'permission' => 'profile_identity',
'enabled' => $user_info['id'] == 1,
),
What do I have to edit, and how? :)
@Mechanical Karasu
Edit the file that failed the search test. The ManageBoards.php. It is only two lines for version 2.0 RC1 and three lines for version 1.1.8. What version of SMF anyway?
Updated v1.1.8
Installing 1.1.7 w/ UOT
RE: (ManageBoards.php)
<operation><!-- 430 -->
I do NOT have:
<search position="before"><![CDATA['permission_mode' => 'normal',]]></search>
Instead, I have:
if (empty($modSettings['permission_enable_by_board']))
{
$boardOptions['permission_mode'] = (int) $_POST['permission_mode'];
$boardOptions['inherit_permissions'] = false;
}
The only (2) instances of permission_mode in the file.
I'm not quite sure how to add
'admin1' => 0,
into that.
Thanks....
@kota069
If you can't find
'permission_mode' => 'normal',
then look for
'no_children' => true,
than add the
'admin1' => 0,
either before or after.

You have to use FTP program such as FileZilla to download files from your server to your PC. Then use text editor such as Notpad++ to edit the file and then upload it again to your server after. Make sure to make a backup before editing your file in case you make mistake.
is it possible to run it for 2 admins ?

Use the default theme, go to Admin => Current Theme and see if you can find it there. Let me know you can't still find it. Are you using custom theme?
No i am using Default theme and cannot find it still.

If you are admin#1 but can not still see it, then the installation was not complete. Are you using 2.0 RC1?

You have to use FTP program such as FileZilla to download files from your server to your PC. Then use text editor such as Notpad++ to edit the file and then upload it again to your server after. Make sure to make a backup before editing your file in case you make mistake.
Was away on vacation -- sorry for the late reply.
Again, I'm sorry, but I don't know
what to edit. You're telling me to open up the file and edit it, of which I understand that much, but in what way should it be edited? What text in the file ManagBoards.php needs to be edited, and in what way?
@mattchewone
Open up default/Settings.template.php and find
'description' => $txt['hide_post_group_desc'],
),
);
and below that, you should find
if ($context['user']['id'] == 1)
$context['theme_settings'] = array_merge($context['theme_settings'],array(
array(
'id' => 'hide_from_list',
'label' => $txt['hide_from_list'],
)
)
);
If it is not there, you have to add it yourself.
@Mechanical Karasu
In Sources/ManageBoards.php, look for
'description' => &$boards[$boardid]['description'],
add after
'admin1' => &$boards[$boardid]['admin1'],
then find
'permission_mode' => 'normal',
'admin1' => 0,
$boardOptions['posts_count'] = isset($_POST['count']);
$boardOptions['admin1'] = isset($_POST['admin1']);
That's all
I just tried to install this on a 1.1.9 server. The install checks failed for files
./Sources/Load.php
./Themes/default/ManageBoards.template.php
./Themes/default/Profile.template.php
./Themes/default/Packages.template.php
any plans for an update for 1.1.9?
It is compatible with 1.1.9. There should be a conflict with other mods you have installed. You have to manually install the mod.
i was wondering if it is possible to use this for someone other than the root admin no.1 as i was a member on a site and worked my way up to admin until i then bought the entire site from the origional and was wondering if i could use this for my acount which is member 1058 but the origional owner is still on the site and an admin
I'm sorry Robin1989. It is possible but aside from so many changes to do, it defies the real purpose. The mod is designed only for admin #1. The real one.
Hi!
I thought I would install this mod, but I run in to some problems when applying the changes to ./Sources/SPortal1-1.php and ./Sources/BoardIndex.php. I have searched the files manually and her are my findings (the "my code" parts are parts that to some extent are similar to the strings I was supposed to search for):

Couldn't find anything that even remotely looks like the strings I was supposed to search for. Which functions should be updated? I use SP 2.2.1 (the latest release).

It's those instructions I have compaired with, but I've just listed the strings that I cant find in my files.
You can't find them because they aren't in the package file. That's why I asked you to compare.

I've have parsed the package against 1.1.19 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1306;attach=82024;smf_version=1.1.9 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1306;attach=82024;smf_version=1.1.9)) and those strings are shown when you do that. Does that mean that it's not compatible with 1.1.19?
When you tried installing this mod, Is it only BoardIndex.php failed the search test? If a file failed the test, it doesn't mean it is not compatible. It means that the file in question was already altered by another mod and the line is now different. If you need help, attach your BoardIndex.php file and I'll edit it for you when I have time. This mod btw is compatible with 1.1.9 and 2.0 RC1-1.

BoardIndex.php and SPortal1-1.php. I can't find anything remotely similar to the strings that should be altered in SPortal1-1.php.
You don't have to manually edit the files; I don't care to much for manually edited files, it just mess things up. We just have to wait and dream for a package manager that can parse mods, not only on for a clean install, but also taking changes made by previously installed mods into account. :).
@djkmmo
I have your files. I'll get back to you after looking at them.
Two things...
1.) Is it possible to change the "You may not ban an Admin - You most demote them first!
2.) What if another admin demotes you, is their a way to prevent this?
@djkmmo
Sorry. Your version of SimplePortal is not yet supported by this mod. It support only the old version. Here's your BoardIndex.php. Use this before you install this mod if you want it to install.
@Boomshot
1. If you want to change the language string, it is in default/languages/Errors.english.php. Look for
$txt['no_ban_admin'] = 'You may not ban an admin - You must demote them first!';
2. The other admins cannot demote admin #1 if you installed this mod.
Would love to install this on SMF2RC1-1. I get error on install in ./Sources/ManageBoards.php:
This code does not seem to be in there:
$boardOptions['posts_count'] = isset($_POST['count']);
I am supposed to add this code after it according to install instructions:
$boardOptions['admin1'] = isset($_POST['admin1']);
Thanks. Very excited to use this mod.
@RowdyMusician
// Checkboxes....
$boardOptions['posts_count'] = isset($_POST['count']);
$boardOptions['override_theme'] = isset($_POST['override_theme']);
$boardOptions['board_theme'] = (int) $_POST['boardtheme'];
$boardOptions['access_groups'] = array();
Try searching any on the line above from Sources/ManageBoards.php and add the code after or before. It should work.
Strange. Installed the mod and see no evidence of it whatsoever. None of the settings are there for either of the two admin account. I am using utf language. Could that be the problem?
Thanks very much
You must be admin #1. If not, then it is not for you.
Both the admin accounts are mine. How do I tell if its #1?
Thanks
lol. Of course your account number is 1. Go to Admin => Members => View All Members. If your ID is not 1, then you're out of luck. :)
All I really need is to have the admins invisible in the whos online list to moderators. Could you tell me how to do this by chance?
Thanks
Hmm, before the mod used to show a "(spy)" next to my name, but no longer does...is that normal?
@RowdyMusician
Don't give your global moderators permission to "Moderate forum members". Admin => Permissions => Permissions by Membergroups. Modify "Global Moderators" and under "Member Administration" heading, untick the checkbox for "Moderate forum members".
@machmanx
It should show if you are a spy. Add the language string if it does not exist in default/languages/index.english.php.
$txt['spy_stat'] = '<span style="color: red;">(Spy)</span>';
LOL. Well, that was easy. Thanks!
I am using SMF 1.1.10 and I want to know if it is compatible with mod you are discusing here.
Second question is about ID. I am one of admins, and have ID 14, but forum doesn't have ID's from 1 to 13 (they're deleted), so I am the first on the list. Can I become SuperAdmin with this condition?
I used this mod in 2.0 rc1 now update version 2.0 RC2 wing and does not work any suggestions.
or no more update?
Thanks
Are you planning on updating this to 2.0 RC2 anytime soon? If not please say so and I will update it for you...

I have updated this mod to 2.0 RC2. Feel free to use it if you don't want to update it yourself.
Package is attached.
Thanks!
I'm sorry but I have installed well th package but how can I put someone Super Admin :p?

The lasest mod version 1.5 on 2.0 RC2, I guess it's not compatible with RC2 yet.

Also updated the version number to 1.6 and added the option to remove the database entries during uninstall.

That hasn't been touched. All of the features remain the same.

I suspect that real life caught up to him.
It happens all too often.
Lol oops, thanks Kays.
No, problem. :)
~Request~
-Prevent other admins from editing/deleting super admins post
-Prevent admin from editing a certain section in the admin panel (ex: features and options and user groups where u can assign global mods and stuff). Only super admin can edit that
This is a great mod, Bulakbol.
Kays, here's one very grateful bear for the v2.0 RC2 tweak.
This looks like an awesome mod, but I am running SMF 1.1.11. Is it compatible?
I am also running Simple Portal 2.3.1. Even if that is not supported in this mod, will the mod still work on everything else?
Even though the mod author didn't test for 1.1.11, it may still work. Holler if you have any prob
Thanks Live. I tried the reg zip file, and also tried the one for Users Online Today, since I have that mod installed. Both of them gave me the same two errors:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi231.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee37%2Fdavid_starr%2Fsuperadmininstallfailed.jpg&hash=f9401dfc7558777105a3db359ef4d9dc3259d898)
As I'm an SMF noobie, I appreciate any help you can offer. :)
No updates for RC2?
Only a few posts up the page, waruna...
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=253702.msg2425605#msg2425605
Enders, there is a workaround for that : create another group based on Global Moderator, call it General Administrator and allocate a special colour, then add the admin permissions you want them to have whilst leaving out those you don't.
As for no one else being able to edit a Super Admin's posts there is already a mod for that. I'll take a look around to see if I can find it.
Oopss, sorry. Didn't notice Kays's post :D. Thanks a lot Kays, Yogibear. ;)

I'm having the same issues here (Kays' version).
Using RC2.
Also, what is the compatibility with RC3 on this?
This Is Working on Rc3 ?
I can only say it is working with 1.1.11
I have it in a RC2 forum, but I don't know if there are changes in the DB o so for use in RC3 :-\
I'm unsure if your existing version for RC2 will work for RC3, but the attached package will.
{removed}
Very good and thanks sabre
The only thing different is that you encounter any other admin can change the account settings in the admin 1
Thanks
Oh yep, I hadn't checked that as I am only ever the only Admin.
I'm going to remove the attachment, and fix that when I have time to.
Cheers for the update champ :)
Here's one bear looking forward to your RC3 version, Sabre.
It works with 1.1.11, but I have one question:
everything works as described, I was #1 member so had no troubles checking me as super admin, I tried with other, "normal" admins to either ban super admin but that option now doesn't exsist as well account setings, so that part is good, but what stops other admins from openin admin panel-membergroups-administrator group in which super admin is and check: remove from a group? Then he is just a regular member?
it's not a group setting. only the user with ID=1 is protected, it has nothing to do with individual permissions.
for example on my forum, protected user is different than #1, just in case ;)
I didn't understand the answer, I'll try to be more precise:
My admins (2) have all options, they can see or do everything, I'm only superadmin, and I see thy can't ban me or delete me on my profil settings. I tried and those options are gone.
But they can go to admin panel, see me (superadmin) in group admin, remove me from that group and then everything is gone for me, is that normal?
normally when this mod is installed, nobody can change your group. they just won't see the option to do it
Crap, then it doesn't work properly...don't know why, because I had no erorrs instaling it?
This is what i see with "normal" admin, and "Q" is super admin:
http://img695.imageshack.us/i/19363643.jpg/
hey, i am using smf version 1.1.11 and tried installing this mod.
i'm getting 'test failed' in 3 files; sources/manageboards.php, themes/default/profiletemplate.php and .ssi.php
i tried installing it manually but i'm getting an error with some lines saying they dont exist.
can someone assist me with this please?
thanks
Any news on progress for this mod, folks? :)
i need dis for sm2 rc3
(Sniffle) Unashamed bump, if this mod can be updated for RC3 I promise not to steal any pic-a-nic baskets for a week.
Seriously though, it's so important not only to prevent others with admin access from deleting the main admin but also to prevent accidents.
Simulation of RC2 doesn't seem to work.
I was looking at the install and such... and the xml... if I just replaced all the =1 with =3 will that change it so it effects user 3 instead? That's kinda what i need
It has to be asked but is this mod still being supported? It'd be a shame if not as it's probably one of the most important security measures which can be installed.
Forgot about this mod.
Hi Sabre, good to see you back. :)
If I recall correct, there was a problem with the package I attached in which other admins could edit admin1's details, everything else worked fine.
I haven't looked at it since then, as I'm only ever the only admin so it doesn't bother me, but without re-writing anything or searching for the 'perfect' string, I suppose a rough hack would do the job.
Possibly one string would do it, or even one string in a couple places to be extra saucy.
Just how to handle it is the problem, do we want attempts to be shown in the error log? do we want only a "not authorised" message to display? Or should we just remove all visual access to admin 1's 'back room'?
QuoteJust how to handle it is the problem, do we want attempts to be shown in the error log? do we want only a "not authorised" message to display? Or should we just remove all visual access to admin 1's 'back room'?
Any of those should be fine...
QuoteOr should we just remove all visual access to admin 1's 'back room'?
...probably the easiest?
From what I remember this mod was just... 'wrong' with some things it did. If I ever get time I will make a new one with similar functionality. (that's a BIG if)
I'd look forward to that if you do Robbo.
Out of curiosity, what did you think was wrong with the mod? Function, code etc ?
Off hand all I recall it doing is setting board(s) to admin1 only editable boards, and the spy mode hiding you from certain areas.
Oh, and the fact that you could not be deleted. All which I find useful if desired.
Well, if I remember correctly, it would make the member with the ID of 1 the super admin. That is very wrong. If it doesn't then... well it isn't wrong.
Yeah it does.
u=1 is the person which created the site, so is "usually" the owner, so imo, should be the super admin. no?
Being the owner of the site, why would it be wrong to disallow other admins from deleting you?

The problem with the later mod was it was still possible for another admin to change the membership status of admin #1 (invariably the forum owner).
The original mod worked fine on RC2 but needs updating to work on RC3.
Yeah, we're not chatting about that package, but the original mod.
Rob doesn't agree with its function
Hmm, odd that, Sabre, cos the primary function of the original mod was to protect admin #1 though I believe it can be recoded before installation if admin #1 is no longer the forum owner.
My problem is, that it should not have to be re-coded. And that having only one 'super admin' is a big limitation. It should give the person who installs the mod the option to select who is the super admin and allow for more then one.
I see a potential problem there, Robbo. Supposing an admin other than the forum owner were to install the mod and set it for themselves thus effectively hijacking the forum from its owner.

Yeah that
could be a problem, but as long as you have access to your db, they are only being set to be punished. ;)
I guess I don't see the point of multiple super admins, as Im the only owner to my ventures, unless I hand the reigns over to another.
But then I usually have db access anyway, so even an account isn't important.

"Too many chiefs, not enough Indians" comes to mind lol ;)
If you
need multiple accounts protected by this mod, then you need to re-evaluate the people of power on your site. Trust..
I see it as a 'fun' mod, rather than a necessary one. My opinion only of course :)
I see the biggest plus point of this mod is to guard against accidents. Before I owned my own gaff I worked as an admin on another site and one day almost deleted myself instead of sending a PM. :o
OK, so now I have access to a db but Super Admin would make life so much easier. :)
That problem currently exists. And I can't think of any way to bypass it. Actually I can think of one, make it so the super admin has to be set after mod installation by modifying a file after. Although, if someone can install a mod then they can do anything they want to the site anyway.
If you gave me admin to your site and I wanted to take it down I could make a package that would drop all your tables and delete every file in your forums in a matter of minutes.
That post was meant to reply to two posts earlier ^^
I don't have use for this mod. The only reason I even know about it is for a client. This client will need it for RC3 so I will probably make a version public for you when I port it. I can see this kind of thing useful but only when it is done by default on forum installation.
Thanks, Robbo.
Put it this way, guys, if it works the same/as well as the original I'll be a happy Bear. :)
**Bear puts head around door to see if any progress** ::)

ok is anyone going to make it work on 2.0 RC3?

I'm interstate until Wednesday, so will attach my rough version when I get home, until Robbo provides his.
I didnt look back here because I thought you'd already attached it for them Robbo lol
I just have so little time lately :/
*Bear peeks in...* ::)
Please update this for 2 RC3! I got warned by a global mod on MY OWN forum!
You know this is built in to SMF? All you have to do is create a members group called Admin Assistant and limit their abilities. You don't need a third party mod that isn't supported anymore.
In my opinion anyone who gives a so called friend or associate total control of their forum has rocks in the head and deserves the abuse heaped on them by those not deserving of the trust placed in them.
If you got warned by a Global Mod you obviously gave this duff too much power, kick him in the pants and return him to regular member DUH!!!!
It does guard against accidents though. The support sections have a number of threads where admins have deleted themselves by accident.
Really? That's way too funny. LOL
Well then if this is such a common occurrence then the developers should build in a failsafe in the program to prevent admins from deleting themselves.

A global mod did this.
Weird, I installed this mod -- made myself (#1) a spy -- but then was able to delete this superadmin account from another Admin account. I know this isn't supported by its author anymore, but anyone have any ideas?
I like this mod idea but will this mod works in RC3? I really hope that there is a function or mod to create another admin with lesser power and not the same with the main (super) admin.

Sabre is working on updating this mod but with RC4 in sight it could be worth waiting to see if any changes need to be made so it works on that version.

RC4?? What the hell, last I heard which was months ago, Gold release was in sight.
A little time ago I install this mod in RC2, but never install again for RC3, but allll the mods working in RC2 works in RC3, only have to make the database compatible (I know, I know, my english sucks)
I think mods are useful to give us extra functionality that isn't built into the program, but to create or use a mod to replace common sense is a concept beyond the bounds of any program or mod. :-X
You're speaking of only a small aspect of this mods functions.
It also performs actions which you cannot activate with "common sense" ???
Really? And what might those be?
Read the description, it's not there for decoration ;)

Not very informative about features that can not be "activated by common sense" as you claim.
All functions that are mentioned in the description can be acomplished by common sense of not allowing anyone but the forum owner to be assigned as Admin. Everything needed for assistants can be set in priveledges which does require common sense.
So is there something else this mod does that isn't mentioned?
It seems it isn't so common.
When you can read the code source and understand the underlining functions, come back and we'll finish this conversation.
Until then, holding your hand through explanation is not on my todo list.
The purpose of this mod is function with multiple admins, not the singular in which you think is purposeful to mention.
So you admit there are underlining functions which are not documented in the description you directed me to.
I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you are the only one who understands your source code. Strangely I understand them fine.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time here, I just see no point in a mod that duplicates functions already built in and available to the forum owner/admin to properly regulate who has what powers to assist in the day to day operations of the forum.
So unless there is something special that isn't documented, and isn't appearant in the code this mod is redundant and in my opinion gives people a false sense of security.

how about using permissions and not giving admin permissions to ppl u dont trust
Permissions? How do we adjust permissions for the newly appointed admin? Can we really do this with this mod? How I wish it can be done... :-\
why cant u just create a new group called admin and give tehm all permissions
they cant remove ppl from teh real admin group nor can they ban anyone or delete anyone in the real admin group
There is no such option.
Hmm, if you give them all permissions then they'll be able to moderate membergroups and delete whom they please including the admin.
sigh
did u actually try it
create a new group
give them all permissions
create a test member in this group
then try removing admin from urself
u CANT it wont let u!
smf protects ppl in grp 1 from anything, u have to be grp 1 to assign grp 1 to another user, or be grp 1 to remove someone from it
try it

That's exactly my point. I have a group called "Admin Assistant" or you can use the default "Global Moderator", go to permissions for that group to adjust their level of authority and you as the number 1 Admin do not loose control over the forum. It's alll built in and a mod isn't required.

If you assign a member to Admin yeah they have equal authority to the forum owner and that is not a good thing.
Just create a group called "Admin Assistant" or use the "Global Moderator" and set permissions as needed. Number 1 Admin doesn't loose control and the assistant can do anything EXCEPT remove the number 1 Admin.
Quoteassistant can do anything EXCEPT remove the number 1 Admin.
cant make people into that group either

Oya, could you please stop using SMS and use plain English? That way more folk will be able to understand you and remember for many here English is not their native tongue. Also, for someone relatively new, a little humility would not go amiss. Thanks.
Back to topic : one reason for some folk wanting this mod is because it can help eliminate the possibility of Admin #1 accidentally deleting himself! Yes, I know about the workarounds but prevention is better than cure and if an author is prepared to make a mod then this should be encouraged.
@ YogiBear
QuoteBack to topic : one reason for some folk wanting this mod is because it can help eliminate the possibility of Admin #1 accidentally deleting himself!
True, no one wants to be in the situation where they accidently delete the Admin #1.
From my experience with SMF2.0 RC3 of which I am the admin of 15 working on 20 forums in various configurations of stock to moderatly and heavly modified, I have been unable to delibertately delete the # 1 admin.
That being said, I conclude it is not possible to do so with a stock SMF2.0 RC3. But concede it could be possible if some mod has altered something in the code to allow this to happen though I have not been able to reproduce this on any of my modified forums.
Quotea little humility would not go amiss
I'd likely be more humble if I didn't have to say the same thing two or three times before people listened.
So far that I know all permissions that are available by default is not (all) the administrator's permissions at all. That is the maximum global moderator's permissions only. May be I am wrong (and do enlighten me), but I know administrator can do more and the permissions are not available to be modify for newly created admin.
Giving admin permissions, including "administrate the forum" does not give those users a true admin role.
Group 1 still has special rules applied, notably that users have to be in group to assign others to group 1, have to be in group 1 to remove from group 1, and so on. Users in group 1 will always have every permission, while the same will not be true for those who just have everything ticked, since there is a separate check in allowedTo() for group 1.
You could always try it, of course.
I surely have tried and there is no options to reduce permissions of newly appointed admin. If we are creating a new group the most that the group will have is all the permissions of a global moderator group.
I wish to have a control over a newly appointed admin like whether they can install or remove all or certain packages etc.
1. Create a new group.
2. Go into General Permissions. I'll assume you're using the Simple layout in 2.0 at this point.
3. Under "Carry out administrative duties", tick "Administrate forum and database"
The little help icon even says:
QuoteThis permission allows a user to:
* change forum, database and theme settings
* manage packages
* use the forum and database maintenance tools
* view the error and mod logs
Use this permission with caution, as it is very powerful.
It does not give them full admin powers, however, because they still cannot override what a true administrator does.
What more power do you want to give (or not give) than that?
Thanks anyway but I know all that already. I need a more specific control for each and everything for a newly appointed admin i.e. what they are allowed or not allowed to do. The available one is too general.
That could be a case for Mod Requests as it goes beyond the aims of Super Admin although something I could well find handy in the future.
Some other points recently raised have already been covered earlier in this thread. I too can think of workarounds to some mods on the site - one of which I posted a while ago under Feedback & Discussion so as not to hijack a thread - but if an author is prepared to put in the work to make it easier for other members, particularly beginners, then this is something to be encouraged. Johnny B, the original author, left to join the armed forces and Sabre has very kindly taken this on.
I think of new mod request or just features request here. I prefer this mod is upgraded to do my wish. :P But, if the answer is no, may be I'll ask for a new mod (or find a way to create one).
any update for rc3?

Hi Bear.
I've actually moved on to other software, just to further my knowledge in ... other methods.
SMF being my first ever venture, I thought I'd branch out and befriend other communities/knowledge.
I have not totally left SMF, the software ROCKS too much, but since learning other methods, my limited time is focussed elsewhere.
I'm sure somebody will update the mod sometime, with new fantastic code and ideas.
But I suspect it wont be until all of the new n old bugs are gone from the RC.
Well, that's how it should be anyway.
Cheers :)
Thanks, Buddy. :)
I always like playing with sword and sabre. But this Sabre™ is quite unique. Hope to see you helping here around whenever you are free or feel like it. ;D Best of luck in your new endeavor.
Hello,
I have tested it on a newly installed forum and the spy mode and hide package works, but the admin with nr 1 can be edited and banned by other admins. Can you help me ?
thnx
SR
Welcome to SMF. :)
This prob has been identified before. The 'solution' is either to have only one admin with full powers or wait until 2.0 final is released when Sabre may update the mod once and for all.
Meanwhile, you could try RC2 Emulation so as to install the mod.
I'll be the thousanth person to say this but do you really need anyone other than yourself with full admin powers?
And really, if you can't trust them with full admin powers, why are you giving them such powers?
While I don't think I'll be giving anyone admin powers anytime soon, that's because I can often take what's given here and figure things out. Some people here that needed help got burned when they gave someone admin access to help them.
And then there's always the occasional hacker that gets in as admin. Sure there's always backups, if the new guy took any. This was always one of my favorite mods to put on other peoples boards to give them a measure of confidence when I was doing that.
The only time I've ever seen a hacker gain admin privileges is on badly configured shared hosting where there were other things able to access the database inappropriately.
Hi.
I get to make this mod work on SMF 2.0 RC4, but I can't make appear in the account settings the option to enable or disable.
Only works with the entire admin group would be able to individually edit the profile.
Does anyone know what takes to show this?
Thanks very much.
I can't remember exactly but configuration was done somewhere in the Features and Options in the Admin section as the mod works only for the member with ID-1 ie. the forum owner.
There is also (somewhere in the admin area) the facility to hide it from other admins.

This I know is working, but the original mod can change in profile like hidden member the option spy profile like this "Do you want this member to be a spy?", now working but just for all admin group, if I have 3 admins, all 3 are spy members and I want to choose the profile.
But it's ok, thanks anyway.
Any update?
Thanks in advance
I don't think so...
Can someone update this for SMF 2.0 please and thanks!
ZuperAdminRC1, try parse and install manually.Good luck!!

This untested and unapproved version of Zuper Admin (version 1.7) for SMF 2.0.
But if the admin was in a different position from # 1? How should I change the mod?
That's the very point - if it were possible to make any admin besides admin ID1 the super admin then that other admin could hijack the forum. I'll have a wander back through the thread when I get a mo as this question has come up a few times.
I still say you shouldn't need this mod if you don't give out full admin powers in the first place... because if they have full admin powers they could just uninstall the mod anyway... so if you don't give the power out, they can't abuse it.

I did use this in the days of RC3 and it was possible for the admin ID1 to hide it from other admins (I set up a test account).
However, do take care to install this mod after any others and uninstall it before uninstalling others. I took up about a page on the Aeva support thread with an uninstall problem (so as to update it) just because I had forgotten I'd installed Super Admin and set it hidden!
Huh, I didn't realise it also hid itself. But even so, it's still more than possible to confirm the mod is installed even if hidden and even if it is hidden it is still entirely possible to defeat it.
In fact, just after 10 minutes of studying the code, I think I know how any admin, not just user 1, could force it to be shown again in the package manager. In fact, the mod is actually weak on that point because it isn't actually obviously clear how you set it hidden in the first place.
(Admittedly, I'm a pro SMF user, not the average admin, so I know all about its foibles and I would be surprised if most people would know how to exploit the routes I do. But even so, it's possible - and if you don't trust your users, don't give them full admin power, simple as that.)
I have had the need to take on a helper admin to administrate the active/inactive membership, which means they need to be able to delete accounts. Now, with that permission, does that mean this member could delete ME as the only actual "admin" status? If not, then I wouldn't need any "super" admin protection but if so, then sure, I could get back in through the host cpanel but, I don't even want the ability be deleted by another pseudo-admin with the delete member option to be available.
Could you help with explaining how this works?
If I can be deleted, then the super admin mod still can't be used since it's out of version update?
Thanks!
They will only be able to delete you if they themselves are in the true admin group (group 1). If they are not in that group, just having a separate group with the manage members permission, they will not be able to delete you.
Better question: if you don't trust them not to delete your account, why did you promote them in the first place? Don't give out permissions to people you don't trust!
Because I only trust anyone except my wife as far as I can throw them. It's better to be safe than sorry, right?
Exactly... and if you don't trust them, don't give them keys to your kingdom at all. If you don't trust them not to delete you, why do you trust them to delete other people?
The point stands as far as groups, if you didn't set the user up as a full admin in the first place, they can't delete you, but that doesn't mean they can't cause various damage to the site as a whole.
Better question: are you using this helper to delete spam? If so, there are much better methods (there are many, many discussions about preventing rather than cleaning up after spam)
They aren't going to remove spam. We don't have, nor ever had, any spam because I do know the better ways to handle that. Spammers simply don't get past the registration. Not spambots or any actual person who has tried to "buffalo" through the registration questions.
I asked if they 'could' delete an actual admin account because that isn't spelled out anywhere in the help explanation for that permission. I don't care if the person was my own clone, I'd still want to know if they could or couldn't delete me. Since I now know they can't, it's not an issue.
Thank you, my question is answered.
I need to change the default super admin from user 1 to my user number. I have found the files to edit from the post on the first page, however, I am unable to find the lines of code I am told to select and edit. For example on load.php I was only able to find the first edit not the other ones... I d not want to have to uninstall this mod, however if there is no good solution, then I will uninstall it.
use the "emulate" earlier version possibly?
