[Done 1.5.1] Global Moderator center.

[Ironman]

I just can't await it.
Can't you give me the instructions just for that Template edit?  

[Chris Cromer]

All you do is edit Gmod.php and add a link to the template editing function, then open up index.php find the part where it tells what to include when editing the template and check settings[7] to see if the person trying to edit it is an global moderator or a administrator, if they are an admin the inlclude admin.php if they are a global moderator include gmod.php.(warning though, this doesn't add options in the admin center to turn off access to editing the template.) If you open up my mod, you can see the exact things I did and just use them as an example in making it do this.

[Ironman]

Huh, slowly...

My english is as well as your german...  

I'll try my Best and report -the same procedure as last year - here, when ready and works.  

[Chris Cromer]

I only know a few words in German... I tried to learn a little bit since I am half German and half Jew...

But anyway, open Gmod.php and add this wherever you want the link to edit the template to be:

Code Select Expand

<a href="$cgi;action=modtemp">$txt[216]</a><br>
Then you need to add these functions to the bottom of Gmod.php but right before the ?>

Code Select Expand

function ModifyTemplate (){
   global $yytitle,$boarddir,$txt,$imagesdir,$color,$cgi,$db_prefix;

/*** Added Dave by Smulders - .html & .php template support ***/
   $templateFile = "$boarddir/template.php";
   if (!file_exists($templateFile))
      $templateFile = "$boarddir/template.html";

 /*** Matt Siegman's Admin Fix ***/
   $file = fopen($templateFile,"r");
   $fulltemplate = fread($file,filesize($templateFile));
   $fulltemplate = eregi_replace("</textarea>","&lt;/textarea&gt;",$fulltemplate);  //fix by Omar Bazavilvazo
   fclose($file);
   /*** Matt Siegman's Admin Fix ***/
   $yytitle = $txt[216];
   template_header();
   print <<<EOT
<form action="$cgi;action=modtemp2" method="POST">

        }

</form>
EOT;
   footer();
   obExit();
}

function ModifyTemplate2 (){
   global $template,$boarddir,$yySetLocation,$cgi,$db_prefix;
   $template = stripslashes($template);

 /*** Added by Dave Smulders - .html & .php template support ***/
   $templateFile = "$boarddir/template.php";
   if (!file_exists($templateFile))
      $templateFile = "$boarddir/template.html";

   $fh = fopen($templateFile,'w');
   fputs ($fh,$template);
   fclose($fh);
 /*** End Added by Dave Smulders ***/
   $yySetLocation = "$cgi;action=gmod";
   redirectexit();
}

Tell me when your finished with this, then I will tell you what to do next.

[Ironman]

Done. And now?

[Chris Cromer]

Open index.php and look for:

Code Select Expand

      else if ($action == 'modtemp') { include_once ("$sourcedir/Admin.php"); ModifyTemplate(); }
      else if ($action == 'modtemp2') { include_once ("$sourcedir/Admin.php"); ModifyTemplate2(); }
And replace it with:

Code Select Expand

else if ($action == 'modtemp') {
global $settings,$txt,$gmodnews,$gmodcensor,$gmodreserve,$gmodban;
  if($settings[7] == 'Global Moderator') {
    include_once "$sourcedir/Gmod.php";
  }
  if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') {   
    include_once "$sourcedir/Admin.php";
  }
  ModifyTemplate();
}
else if ($action == 'modtemp2') {
global $settings,$txt,$gmodnews,$gmodcensor,$gmodreserve,$gmodban;
  if($settings[7] == 'Global Moderator') {
    include_once "$sourcedir/Gmod.php";
  }
  if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') {   
    include_once "$sourcedir/Admin.php";
  }
  ModifyTemplate2();
}
This is all you need to do to get it to work, if you want to add admin options to enable and disable it that will take some more code.

[Ironman]

Thank you so much, I think this will work.  
Is it much more code to add admin options to enable and disable?

[Chris Cromer]

Not too much more code, but you would have to edit the mySQL settings tables.

[Ironman]

This is not a big Problem for me I think, if I know what I've to change...  

[Chris Cromer]

Alright well first off open myphpadmin, then open the settings prefix, then add 'gmodtemplate' to it and set it to 1.

[Ironman]

settings prefix? is this yabbse_settings? Could you give me a sql query for this?

[Chris Cromer]

Yes the yabbse_settings

You need to create 'gmodtemplate' and make sure it has a setting of '1' which means that the global moderator can edit the template.

[Ironman]

ALTER TABLE `myserver`.`yabbse_settings` ADD `gmodtemplate` TINYINT DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL

I did this, correct?

[Chris Cromer]

Actually you need to click browse in the yabbse_settings

Then click insert new row, then add the name gmodtemplate and the value of 1.

[Ironman]

Done.  

And, so that I can switch it on/off its only 2 more Modifications, right?

In the language File and in the ModSettings.php, if I'm not wrong.
