Your second request is (I think) easier than your first, so I'll start there. In line 13 of the code you have pasted above change the <= to a < and I think that should allow moderators to edit each other. Remember that there are two blocks of code that use $can_edit and you should edit both of them.
Your first request is not so easy... I'm assuming you're referring to a user's online visibility, in which case they will still be in the memberlist (unless you have modded that too). The first thing to do is remove people from the select list. Near the bottom of admin_users.php you'll find a SQL query. You need to make it look like this (note the new line at 4):
$sql = 'SELECT user_id, username
FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
WHERE user_id != ' . ANONYMOUS . '
AND user_allow_viewonline = 1
ORDER BY username';
Next you need to edit the bit of code you pasted above, for your second point. Make that line look like this (a new && clause at the end of the line) :
Finally, after the second $can_edit = you should add (to stop moderators even seeing hidden profiles):
if($this_userdata['user_allow_viewonline'] == 0){
redirect('modcp/admin_users.php');
}
Do test this thoroughly but I think it should cover what you need. It won't effect the "Find Username" popup box, that's a core part of phpbb that I don't want to tweak as it'll break things like Private Messages too.
Hi Daniel, that is still correct. If you have a look through the user_edit_body compared to the one in admin you'll find that there's a lot of extra code to just display fields instead of input fields when a Moderator looks at an Admin's profile. You can use your own user_select_body if you like, the one provided with modcp has been moded to include a dropdown list to make it easier to find users.
Wow it's been a long time since I had a ModCP help... I'm guessing that you're using a template other than subSilver? You need to make sure that the modcp files got installed for your template. Have a look in your template and see if there is a modcp directory, if not copy it from subSilver (or from the modcp download) and finger's crossed everything will work fine.
Hi Jackson, how is your post data formatted? CURL needs it like this: "Hello=World&Foo=Bar&Baz=Wombat"; perhaps you could paste some code for me to have a look at?
Ah neat trick! Are there any other % vars that you have come across? I prefer nice names rather than hostnames when I browse bonjour. Some services are bonjour aware, maybe we should look at how to go about patching each?
If you want moderators to have full power in the modcp simply copy the admin_users.php file from your admin directory and the related template files. Be warned that this will mean they can delete your admin users too! You may want to edit the script to protect against that kind of action.
Hmm, wow. I've not played with the FI themes for ages. I normally suggest that you try and stick with the SubSilver/SubBlack theme for modcp if you can. Otherwise have a look through the admin templates for your FI template. Much of the template code is the same for modcp as the admin See how the SubSilver templates differ between the admin and modcp and you should find it easy to make modcp FI templates. If you like I'll happily host any working modcp templates for future generations
I'm not so fussed about getting a source for people who read my feeds in an aggregator like Google Reader, but more if they are being syndicated like the LSUCS Planet and facebook. But yes that link would work
Heh, cheers for the comment Dan. I'm more interested in just finding out usage information for my feeds, website, etc. I also like to keep trying out new toys and features to see if they're useful for any other sites I might build
I've noticed that when loading more than a couple of images from the cache for the first time it often doesn't load them all (though they're being cached) so I'm experimenting with a few tweaks including adding an arbitrary amount of time onto the Last-Modified header and also redirecting the user once they've triggered a first-time load. Hopefully this combination will help
I've successfully updated the mod following the previously linked instructions and tested installing it with EasyMod. For your convenience I've uploaded the working changes to 1255_modcp.zip.
I would expect you to see more of a performance increase than myself as when I visit the site I'm often getting internal network speeds the thing I've noticed dreamhost is good at is the really simple / static stuff which this is. If you have a wander around the gallery, then clear your cache and view again you should notice some improvements!
The instructions in "How to add new Modules" should help you here. Basically change all of the admin/ in the install script and within the php files to modcp/.
I need to make a list of the smilies too, and put a formatting guide on here too! I don't think that manhattan has a thumbs up smilie, have you seen any in the iconbuffet collection?
Re: Moderator CP
Ah, I see what you mean now! Let's have another try at fixing the
$can_editproblem first... Remove both of theseAnd replace both of the
$can_editlines with this:For your other problem have a look in
modcp/index.phpand find (line 385 for me)And replace it with:

It wasn't getting the caching quite right at times
Now that I've worked out most of the kinks I've definately noticed it working a lot quicker.
