Need help coding a Moderator Tab

[Bec]

Hi Guys,

I need some help coding a new tab so only my moderators can see it, this is my code so far...

Code Select Expand

            echo '<li' , $current_action=='#' ? ' class="active"' : '' , '><a href="#">Mod Tools</a>
                  <ul style="overflow: hidden; visibility: visible; opacity: 1;">
                     <li><a href="index.php?action=mlist">Members</a></li>
                     <li><a href="index.php?action=stats">Stats</a></li>
                     <li><a href="index.php?action=who">Whos Online</a></li>   
                   </ul>
               </li>';

I just need for only my moderators to be able to see it, they have permission to view the memberlist, online list etc but all members at the moment can the tab..... I want it hidden from everyone else but the mods..

Any ideas?

I am using 1.1.6, Urban design by DzinerStudio

Thanks   


Also just as an example this is the code I have for my Global Moderator button....

Code Select Expand

               if(in_array(2, $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))
               {
            echo '<li' , $current_action=='#' ? ' class="active"' : '' , '><a href="#">Mod Tools</a>
                  <ul style="overflow: hidden; visibility: visible; opacity: 1;">         
                     <li><a href="index.php?action=mlist">Members</a></li>
                     <li><a href="index.php?action=stats">Stats</a></li>
                     <li><a href="index.php?action=who">Whos Online</a></li>                     
                   </ul>
               </li>';
               }

Try the moderate_forum permission. Don't know the exact code for it though.

[Marcus Forsberg]

Maybe you should put

Code Select Expand

if ($context['moderate_forum'])

Above

Code Select Expand

            echo '<li' , $current_action=='#' ? ' class="active"' : '' , '><a href="#">Mod Tools</a>


Not sure that it's right.,.

Hey Nascar,

Nope that didnt work, its not showing anything... thanks for trying though Ive given them permissions I just need the tab to show for them and not everyone else

[Marcus Forsberg]

I knew it
I'll have another try...

[Bec]

[Bec]

bump! anyone got any ideas?

thanks

try $context['is_mod']

moderate_forum is a permission, not a context variable

if you were going to check a permission you'd use the allowedTo function

Hi metallica48423,

Nope didnt work, thank you for trying... 

so far ive tried

if ($context['is_mod'])

if(in_array(13, $MODERATORS['user_info']['groups'])) - I thought this might work cause it worked for my global mod tab but still nothing

[Tony Reid]

Shouldn't that be...

if ($context['user']['is_mod'])

     {  // Do stuff here

     }

[Bec]

Hi Tony,

Thanks just tried that but didnt make any difference

If you want it to be shown for board moderators that you assing from Manage Boards?

This code will work:

if(!empty($context['moderators'][$context['user']['id']]))
echo 'I am the mod of this board';
else
echo 'I am nothing';

But, it will only appear when they are in the board they are moderator.

If you have a group for moderators, find its ID (you can see it from the "modify" url in Admin CP >> Membergroups) and use this:

if(in_array('ID_GROUP', $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))

[Tony Reid]

Then a cheap trick would be to create a secondary group for moderators (I am guessing that this is not global mods) and then do something similar to what you tried earlier....

Code Select Expand


global $GLOBALS;

if (in_array(1, $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups'])) 


Changing 1 to be the secondary group number.



*Sorry  Sinan - we double posted.
