Link to Mod

This mod adds a modbreak-tag to your forum. A modbreak is basically a tool for your moderators to make a clear statement in a topic, using a fieldset with a legend.

Possible usage:
[modbreak]
You aren't allowed to swear on this forum!
[/modbreak]

Will return (HTML):
<fieldset class="modbreak">
<legend>Modbreak</legend>
You aren't allowed to swear on this forum!
</fieldset>

Another possible use is:
[modbreak=Edit by Aaron]
I removed the link to a warez site!
[/modbreak]

Will return (HTML):
<fieldset class="modbreak">
<legend>Edit by Aaron</legend>
I removed the link to a warez site!
</fieldset>

Should you wish to style the modbreak (which isn't done by default), you can add the following lines to your theme's style.css:

Code: [Select]

.modbreak
{
	border: 1px solid #000000;
}

.modbreak legend
{
	color: #DD0000;
	font-weight: bold;
}

I hope you find this mod useful.

This looks like it could be very useful thanks.

OK were do you activate this? Installed fine but see no place to make use of it anywhere!

Found it useful. Makes it much easier to see that a mod had changed something. Cheers.

Thanks!

What about if there is a modbreak button, visible only to admin?

You don't have to configure or activate it anywhere - you can just use the BBC-code in the post screen.

I might add that in a newer version.

Well I am not seeing anything from this Mod. Must be conflicting with something else. If you update it for the next version I may take a look at it then. Just don't have the spare time to trouble shoot and figure out what is going on with it. Sounds good though.

Aaron · « **Reply #9 on:** January 11, 2007, 01:27:20 PM »

Could you try installing it, and then post a message (or preview one) in a random topic, containing:

Code: [Select]

[modbreak]
You aren't allowed to swear on this forum!
[/modbreak]

Then you *should* see it parsed as a fieldset.

I think it would be better if we could set the permissons for this bbc-code

aperseghin · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2007, 02:28:00 PM »

Can i change the word "ModBreak" anywhere??

bigmohi · « **Reply #12 on:** January 11, 2007, 02:41:43 PM »

if you can update it with permission and button, would be a perfect one!!

I thought about that, but then a user wouldn't be able to quote a modbreak properly, if you get what I mean. $:-\$

You'd have to manually edit it in Subs.php.

Kris · « **Reply #14 on:** January 12, 2007, 05:16:12 PM »

but it means any user can use this tag?
or only moderators?

Very usefull mod, however my users will find out about this tag anyway.
If they just quote a topic, they will see the tags and abuse them.

Tanks · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2007, 06:54:38 AM »

So make it in your rules that this tag is only to be used by mods and that mods will take actions against any abuse.

Or just dont use it

THE BRA1N · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2007, 09:08:14 PM »

Very nice. Would be great if the use of it could be restricted in the future though.
