This was a nice feature in 7.x and after I upgraded I had many of my users request it back so I guess it's worth the DB hit. Hopefully this will save you a few minutes if you want to put this on your forum.
This places a list of the forum moderators below each forum on the front page.
Step 1: Add... "Dim strModeratorsList" to the declarations at the top of default.asp
Step 2: Add this code around line 650. I've made a lot of mods to my default.asp page so I couldn't tell you for sure where it goes. I put it in between " 'Display the number of people viewing in that forum" and " 'Display forum details".
'Get the List of Group Moderators for the Forum
strModeratorsList = ""
strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID, " & strDbTable & "Author.Username "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM " & strDbTable & "Permissions, " & strDbTable & "Author "
strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE " & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID = " & strDbTable & "Permissions.Author_ID AND " & strDbTable & "Permissions.Moderate = " & strDBTrue & " AND " & strDbTable & "Permissions.Forum_ID = " & intForumID & ";"
rsCommon.Open strSQL, adoCon
Do While Not rsCommon.eof
If strModeratorsList = "" Then
strModeratorsList = "<br /><span class=""smText"">Moderators:</span> "
Else
strModeratorsList = strModeratorsList & ", "
End If
strModeratorsList = strModeratorsList & "<a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & rsCommon("Author_ID") & """ class=""smLink"">" & rsCommon("Username") & "</a>"
rsCommon.MoveNext
Loop
rsCommon.Close
|
Step 3: In the Forum Details section (again, roughly around line 675) change this line
|
Response.Write("<br />" & strForumDiscription & strSubForums & "</td>" & _
|
to be this:
|
Response.Write("<br />" & strForumDiscription & strSubForums & strModeratorsList & "</td>" & _
|
...and the coding is done.
Step 4: Login to the admin tool and manually set user permissions for each moderator you want to set up for each section. Even though they have permissions by their group, this tool looks for their individual member permissions for reference. Click member permissions, search for your user, check off "Forum Moderator", check off your affected forums, and you are good to go.
...and that'll do it!
