[MOD] - MCP (Moderator Control Panel)

[trez]

MODERATOR CONTROL PANEL (MCP) by 2XG MEDIA

Yes finally i've found a pleasant solution for having moderators on your site, without having to create usergroups etc.
Let's go

WHAT DOES THIS MOD
It gives you the ability to have moderators who can validate images on your site. This can be extended of course (edit images, comments, etc.) to your wishes
(Please look at the several additions at the end of this post for further customization)

IS IS SECURE?
Yes, because moderator won't have access to important files like "reset stats", "Settings" etc..

VERSIONS
1.7.X

Installation
Simply follow the steps. No additional SQL fields are required


STEP ONE

copy the whole folder "admin" to your harddrive, and rename it to "moderator". After that, upload the folder to your 4images root dir.

STEP TWO

open
yoursite.com/moderator/admin_global.php

find:

Code: [Select]

  else {
    if ($user_info['user_level'] == GUEST || $user_info['user_level'] == USER || $user_info['user_level'] == USER_AWAITING) {
      $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['adminon'] = 0;
    }
  }
change to:

Code: [Select]

  else {
    if ($user_info['user_level'] == GUEST || $user_info['user_level'] == USER || $user_info['user_level'] == USER_AWAITING) {
      $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['moderatoron'] = 0;
    }
  }
find:

Code: [Select]

  if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['adminon']) || $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['adminon'] == 0) {
    $user_info['user_level'] = GUEST;
  }
  else {
    if ($user_info['user_level'] != GUEST  && $user_info['user_level'] == ADMIN && isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['loginusername'])) {
      setcookie("adminon", 1, 0, '/');
      $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['adminon'] = 1;
    }
  }
}
change to:

Code: [Select]

  if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['moderatoron']) || $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['moderatoron'] == 0) {
    $user_info['user_level'] = GUEST;
  }
  else {
    if ($user_info['user_id'] != XXX && $user_info['user_level'] == USER && isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['loginusername'])) {
      setcookie("moderatoron", 1, 0, '/');
      $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['moderatoron'] = 1;
    }
  }
}
In the above code replace XXX with the userid of your user who would be the moderator

find:

Code: [Select]

if ($user_info['user_level'] != ADMIN) {
  show_admin_header();
change to:

Code: [Select]

if ($user_info['user_id'] != XXX) {
  show_admin_header();
In the above code replace XXX again with the userid of your user who would be the moderator

Save and close admin_global.php


STEP THREE

open
yoursite.com/moderator/index.php

find:

Code: [Select]

Thats it.
Now you moderator can validate images with the following link:
YOURSITE.com/4images/moderator/index.php

The login will only work for the userid (the person) you specified in step two. You as an admin will continue to
use your normal /admin/index.php - the moderator won't have access to that. And you won't have access to the /moderator/ folder,
but you don't need to have to.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional Options for you moderator

If you want him to have access to more for example to edit comments or add pictures simply uncomment the regarding line in step 3.
For example, if you want him to to add images and have access to modify images simply change (in step three):

Code: [Select]

//          show_nav_option($lang['nav_images_edit'], "images.php?action=modifyimages");

//          show_nav_option($lang['nav_images_add'], "images.php?action=addimages");
to:

Code: [Select]

          show_nav_option($lang['nav_images_edit'], "images.php?action=modifyimages");

          show_nav_option($lang['nav_images_add'], "images.php?action=addimages");
I think the concept is understandable


Additional SECURITY for you moderator area
I recommend deleting the files you commented in step three for additional security, because if he knows the filename he can access it.

For example you want to be sure that your moderator don't have access to the site "settings", even if the line in step three is
commented --> simply delete moderators/settings.php

Do the same thing with other files, but be carefull deleting files like images.php, because it's used for 4 different actions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITONAL OPTION (added 25/02/2007)
Allow your moderator directly to delete/edit comments from your details.php

Well, deleting and editing comments for your moderator can be very sad, if he always have to login first to his MCP (Moderator Control Panel), search the comment by ID and so on.
SO this little addition to my MOD allows your moderator to directly delete and edit comments at the details.php (picture)

Have pHun

STEP ONE

open yoursite.com/4images/moderator/index.php

Make sure those lines...

Code: [Select]

         
show_nav_header($lang['nav_comments_main']);

show_nav_option($lang['nav_comments_edit'], "comments.php?action=modifycomments");

... are uncommented (without a "//" on the left)
Be also sure that you haven't deleted the "comments.php" in your moderator folder.

Everything fine? Good, let's proceed....


STEP TWO

open
yoursite.com/4images/details.php

find:

Code: [Select]

      $admin_links = "";
      if ($user_info['user_level'] == ADMIN) {
        $admin_links .= "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."admin/index.php?goto=".urlencode("comments.php?action=editcomment&amp;comment_id=".$comment_row[$i]['comment_id']))."\" target=\"_blank\">".$lang['edit']."</a>&nbsp;";
        $admin_links .= "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."admin/index.php?goto=".urlencode("comments.php?action=removecomment&amp;comment_id=".$comment_row[$i]['comment_id']))."\" target=\"_blank\">".$lang['delete']."</a>";
      }

insert _below

Code: [Select]

      $moderator_links = "";
      if ($user_info['user_id'] == XXX) {
        $moderator_links .= "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."moderator/index.php?goto=".urlencode("comments.php?action=editcomment&amp;comment_id=".$comment_row[$i]['comment_id']))."\" target=\"_blank\">".$lang['edit']."</a>&nbsp;";
        $moderator_links .= "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."moderator/index.php?goto=".urlencode("comments.php?action=removecomment&amp;comment_id=".$comment_row[$i]['comment_id']))."\" target=\"_blank\">".$lang['delete']."</a>";
      }

In the above code replace XXX again with the userid of your user who would be the moderator

Okay, now lets find:

Code: [Select]

        "row_bg_number" => $row_bg_number,
        "admin_links" => $admin_links
      ));

replace it with:

Code: [Select]

        "row_bg_number" => $row_bg_number,
        "admin_links" => $admin_links,
        "moderator_links" => $moderator_links
      ));


save and close details.php


STEP THREE

open
yoursite.com/4images/templates/yourtemplate/comment_bit.html

find:

Code: [Select]

{if admin_links}{admin_links}{endif admin_links}
add _below

Code: [Select]

{if moderator_links}{moderator_links}{endif moderator_links}

save and close comment_bit.html

Thats it.
Now you moderator can delete and edit comments directly from your site.
