This is an update of [XMB 1.9.10] 3 Step Custom Status for XMB 1.9.11 by quibel_nz. A simple procedure for making a second member status for your site. Moderators need to be assigned to moderate certain forums on your site. If you do not assign them to a forum they are no more powerful than a standard member. Super Moderators instantly get access to moderate all forums for you. This Hack/Mod takes the moderator account and turns it into a second custom status for you to use for certain members. It then renames the online key to reflect this special status. You can still set the custom members to moderate an individual forum, it's just that under who's online they will no longer show as a moderator. Updated for XMB 1.9.11 by Robert Chapin (miqrogroove) License: GPL ============================ STEP 1 : In the Administration Panel, click Translations, then choose 'textsendmod' from the Edit menu. ============================ ========= Find Code ========= Moderators ========= Replace With (rename platinum to what ever you want your custom status to be) ========= Platinum Member Repeat Step 1 for other languages as necessary. ============================================== STEP 2 : Assigning people to the custom status ============================================== Goto your Admin Panel / Members. Search for a members name Change member status to Moderator Set custom status as "Platinum Member" (assuming this is what u used above) Presto .. you're done. All you now need to do is set your forum priveleges so that moderators can view/post etc in certain forums and your custom status will have access to stuff that normal members wont be able to use.
