Moderation in Search

[sk8er_boi]

I can see checkboxes and toolbox in search. But my normal moderators can't see them.

My moderators can edit any forums, they are like super mods, but i don't want to make them smods.

How can i make them to see this menus?

[sk8er_boi]

Anyone?

You cannot - they only show to "global moderators" (and it sounds like your other moderators are per-forum moderators). This was done because of the permissions complexities involved (what if one topic is in a forum they can moderate and another isn't and so on).

[sk8er_boi]

Can't they be shown to who can see report center maybe?

Even the report center is going to have limitations on who can and cannot view it. I went through something similar in trying to give a specialized usergroup access to the report center along with the reports it contained. I managed to get it working, but not without some frustration on my part.

There was a mod for this in 2.3. This was making my mod's job very easier and now they are suffering from upgrade anxiety and demanding this.

Wish i could have it.

Then why not make it so it only shows the checkbox on threads/posts that are in forums you have the ability to moderate, I hate to say this but that's how vBulletin does it and that's how it should work.

I don't understand why so many features get tied to "Super Moderator" status and why giving admins more control over moderator permissions is something that seems to get ignored in every release.

There are a lot of things that vBulletin does that probably shouldn't happen. Query creep is not a good thing, and forums were suffering for it.

I have managed to make checkboxes and dropdown menu visible to mods.

But when i try to move, it fails with an error.

[#4030] You appear to have submitted an invalid forum.

I replaced this

<if test="accessreports:|:($this->memberData[

'g_is_supmod'] == 1 OR ( isset( $this->memberData['access_report_center'

] ) AND $this->memberData['access_report_center'

] ) )">

for
<if test="isAdmin:|:$this->memberData['g_is_supmod']">

in search template bits.

I believe we can do this.

And a lot of forums suffer from spam problems and need a quick way for moderators to remove or move threads/posts.

No, not yet. Read my post above.

Your skin template change verifies they can access the report center, but not that they are a forum moderator (what if the user is only a gallery moderator - they could still access report center, but shouldn't be able to moderate topics). Just an FYI.

All my moderators can moderate any forums. Theres no gallery or other fancy stuff in my forum.

[bfarber]

In your case, that's fine. We can't release like that though from our standpoint.

Agreed completely.

This topic shouldn't be in feedback forum actually.

Is it possible to make something like this? A file edit maybe?

[bfarber]

Well, this topic is veering in two directions.

1) There is a suggestion here to allow moving topics from search. That is valid feedback.

2) There is also attempts to manually modify the software to do this. Really this separate line of discussion should be in the peer to peer forum.

Yes, it would be good if it was a default option. But you say, this isn't our way to make things, i am seeking a way achieve this.

Both kind of help would be welcome
