if user is a global mod?

[kaamaru]

I am using the following code:

Code Select Expand

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

echo '<h2>Topic Options</h2>
<div class="profile">
<div class="calumks2"><pcolour>
<div id="moderationbuttons">', template_button_strip($mod_buttons, 'bottom'), '</div>
<div class="nav floatleft">', template_button_strip($normal_buttons, 'top'), '</div></div></pcolour></div>';


This will not display to users who are a global mod. How can I get this to display to global mods too?

Hi Calumks,

Hmm, yes, I see why you want to do this but it strikes me there could be an easier way.

From the Global Moderator group, create similar groups eg. Global Moderator1, Global Moderator2, and so on.

The Global Mods would all appear in the Regular Members group but their powers given them by using Additional Membergroup. Thus Fred is Global Moderator1, Sue is Global Moderator2, and so on.

Make sure they cannot manage, and therefore see who's in what, membergroups in the permissions.

Would that solve it?

if ($context['user']['group_id'] == 2 || $context['user']['is_admin'])

This does not seem to work.

Try...

Code Select Expand

global $user_settings;

if (in_array($user_settings['id_group'], array(1,2)))

echo '<h2>Topic Options</h2>
<div class="profile">
<div class="calumks2"><pcolour>
<div id="moderationbuttons">', template_button_strip($mod_buttons, 'bottom'), '</div>
<div class="nav floatleft">', template_button_strip($normal_buttons, 'top'), '</div></div></pcolour></div>';
