global moderator be able to ban?

[goosemoose]

In perl version GM allows the GM's to see ip addresses. THis doesn't seem to work in se. How can I enable this feature? I also want GM's to be able to ban people and edit word list. Thanks

Because banning is in the admin panel I don't see this in the near future.

It is in the admin panel in the perl version as well but their version of global moderator allows them to ban. There has to be a way to achieve this!

My GM's asked for that also.  It was fairly easy.  In display.php there is a line:

$mip = $settings[7] == 'Administrator' ? $mip : $txt[511];

I changed it to:

$mip = ($settings[7]=='Administrator' || $settings[7]=='Global Moderator') ? $mip : $txt[511];

My GM's thanked me.

That seems way too simple.  Does it give them access to the entire admin cp?  If it doesn't then you need to teach me how to code like that because it is amazing if it works.  I havn't tested it yet but it doesn't seem like it should work.

All that does is allow the gm's to see the ip address on posts.

Well that gets us part way there. It might be time for me to learn php. Too bad the program wasn't written in c++ or java.

That'd be simple to do. I actually missed the Global Mod Panel from Y1G, but it wouldn't be hard to do. I might do this after Smilies SE.

This wouldn't be very hard to make.  Find the thread about making a new page and do that.  Then in Display add a button that is displayed when the user is a GM.  Boom done.
