[Chris Cromer]

Alright, where is your board let me take a look.

Rpg Cyco, I am going to be rewriting the code a bit, I am going to change a few things in ModSettings.php to try and resolve the problem with that other mod.

AGISCI:
 Does this mean that I should wait to install this mod if you are working on an update? Thanks!

[Chris Cromer]

Actually it is up to you whether or not to install this version or not, before you install the next version though you will be required to unistall the previous version then install the new version, mostly what will be changing is the code so the tables shouldn't change(unless I decide to add more features).

you're right, i guess that could be a security issue if gmods could change member groups.  Wouldn't like to log in some day and find one had removed my admin.

But I would like them to be able to change a member's signature.  That alone would make me a happy camper.

Meanwhile, I do need to figure out a way that global mods will be able to change a member's group to one of two options.  (My usage of this is to allow my gmods to up a non-member (the "blank" member group - just above guest on the access list) to either a "Member" or "Initiate" - and of course the reverse.)  I got some hard coding ahead of me.

[Chris Cromer]

Shouldn't be too hard, to do this. Just make sure that nothing but those few member groups get written to the array for the list of member groups. This would prevent the global moderators from taking away power from specific titles such as admin. Of course though it will take some building upon my mod but go ahead and try if you want to.

Ok, I removed it off my server anyway, because Big P released a new version of Add More Smilies....

how far are you now??

[Chris Cromer]

Well since I am only modifying what already exists in my mod to make it more compatible it shouldn't take to long.

[Chris Cromer]

Well I have fixed the incompatibility problem(I hope). I am now going to work on making the actual center a little bit better by removing the links that the admin hasn't activated yet. Then the final step... making it so the global moderators can't see admins IP addresses.

Just for reference the zip hasn't been update... and it won't be until I get finished with these few things.

[Chris Cromer]

Well I am getting closer and closer to finishing. All I have to do now is alter Gmod.php and it should be finished.

I am also going to add another option to the admin center that can deactivate the global moderator center completly.

[Chris Cromer]

Alright version 2.0 is complet, first of all everybody that has the previous versions installed... unistall them. Then download URL REMOVED

Then upload gmoddb.php and run it, it will install all the database info need for this to work. Then use boardmod to install it on your board, then upload all the affected files.

This should fix the incompatability problem with any other mods(that I know of).

There is a few cosmetic and other changes as well so it will act and look a little bit different.
