Setting a user to a moderator enables the moderator functions as I can tell OK but when I look at the value of the variable (when logging in with a test moderator account and printing the variable value with a response.write, it always shows false... Any ideas why? The BlnAdmin variable shows true when apprioriate OK. |

| Sorry, I'm confused by your reply. Isn't adding a member to the moderator group sufficient? All the moderator functions (edit, hide) etc seem to work ok when they are part of the moderator group... blnModerator is just not getting set to true... |

blnModerator is set by the database, if there's no forum where he is mod blnModerator will be 0 I'm not sure how it works at all (Guess in wich forum you are it will look) But try sometimes and watch you forum admin settings ------------- Don't check me english spelling please... |

I never see blnModerator set to True! It's always false... Strangely roles with moderator including admin work OK and blnModerator is still False.... How can this be? |

| All, I want to do is a little if blnModerator logic on the default.asp page... |

| OK, so it looks like blnModerator is set to false for the default.asp page probably because a moderator wouln't have any moderator like functions on this page. So the question is, if you wanted to display a table such as last 5 posts but you only wanted the admin and the moderator to see it, how would you do this? blnAdmin seems to work fine, but it would be nice to show the moderators the same table.... |

To populate the blnModerator variable you have to run the forumModerator (or something like that) function. You need to dig into the code to figure out how the moderator permissions work. Its not as easy as just using the built in variables.

| But what I find interesting is that there is code in the default.asp that checks for blnModerator is true but it never is true on the default.asp page, so why is the code checking for it? |

You can use the groups on the defaultpage, <% if intGroupID = 1 or intGroupID = 3 then %> Some code to run then <% End if %> ------------- Don't check me english spelling please... |
