Summary

This mod adds three tags - [admin], [gmod] and [mod] - to the system which provide the ability for moderators and administrators to add comments clearly delineated as such.

All three are permission controlled; you can give out each button to any user group independently; for example you may have co-admins who are effectively admins without them having the 'administrate forum' permission, and this would allow you to grant it to them.

Groups who are not authorised to use these tags cannot do so and the tags are removed if they attempt to use them.

For themers: you can customise the resultant blocks by styling .admin_comment, .gmod_comment and .mod_comment respectively.

Code Select Expand

$txt['tag_comment_mod'] = 'Moderator Kommentar';
$txt['tag_comment_admin'] = 'Administrator Kommentar';

[Rohan_]

what about my error ? does anybody getting the same ?

[Arantor]

Rohan_, are you using English? The mod only supports English and English British. Please note I've been out today and wasn't able to pick up on this earlier - please have patience as remember that real life takes priority.

qtime: the comment is visible to all. However only the mods and admins can use the tags, much like [html] tags.

funkenwerner: Thanks for the translation, I'll add that to the next version.

[Rohan_]

ya i only use English

[Arantor]

Check your custom theme's Modifications.english.php file. You may have to add these lines to it:

Code Select Expand

$txt['tag_comment_mod'] = 'Moderator Comment';
$txt['tag_comment_admin'] = 'Administrator Comment';

[Rohan_]

okay and 1 more thing .. i want the border color red .. and the text i want is administrator's i want to add 's .. i tried it in modifications.english but i got error

[Arantor]

For the border: add it to your CSS. I even left notes in the mod's description what to change.

For the ', make it \'

E.g.

Code Select Expand

$txt['tag_comment_admin'] = 'Administrator\'s Comment';

[Rohan_]

okay everything done .. now i didn't understand how to change the color of border

[Arantor]

Go into your CSS file for your forum - style.css in your theme.

Try:

Code Select Expand


.admin_comment, .mod_comment {
  border-color: red;
}

Styling isn't my forte, however (which is why my dev forum is still using the default!) so maybe that needs tweaking.

[Rohan_]

hey thanks .. it worked .. here is a look .. i also changed something to use this mod for warning puposes

[Arantor]

Awesome

Note that it'll give you a red box on both right now but you can break it into two blocks easily enough.

[Rohan_]

yes i understand now

Thanks again Arantor .. today i am very happy because of this mod and the ban expire mod .. Do u have any other great mods waiting approval ?

[Arantor]

I have 5 mods still awaiting approval at present. You can see my personal tracker of mods in my signature - Arantor Developments.
