I told you I might be stupid ;) Thanks man sambauers on "Add Moderators and Admin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-moderators-and-admin#post-14462 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:01:20 +0000 sambauers 14462@http://bbpress.org/forums/ When logged in as an admin or keymaster you can promote a user using their edit profile page in the front end of your site. There probably should be a way to do it in the admin, but there isn't yet. fpslabs on "Add Moderators and Admin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-moderators-and-admin#post-14460 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 07:54:01 +0000 fpslabs 14460@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Perhaps I am stupid, which I like to believe that I am not. However, I have searched through documentation, search results here and on google, and scoured the backend. I still can not find a way to promote users to moderator or keymaster/admin status. One method for promotion I thought of was to copy the mysql entry for my capabilities into that of another user, but I have no such entry to copy from for moderators. Should the promotion/demotion of users be something part of the software? Does it exist and I am not seeing it? Please help at your convenience.

I have another forum called announcements and news and she can delete stuff out of that section. I just downloaded this mod so im assuming this is the newest version. Do the moderators have full forum mod rights? so1o on "Plugin: Forums Moderators" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-forums-moderators#post-9840 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:30:42 +0000 so1o 9840@http://bbpress.org/forums/ if you dont assign a moderator to a forum then only key master can moderate the forum..

That's a bit worrying! What happens if every user becomes a mod? Also remember WP is in version 2.1, while bb is still before official release at version 0.8. :) Trent on "How do you add moderators?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-you-add-moderators#post-7424 Sun, 13 May 2007 21:38:06 +0000 Trent 7424@http://bbpress.org/forums/ To add a user as a moderator, admin or another key-master, log in with your admin account and then go to the user profile that you want to change. Then you just 'edit' their profile and one of the options is to change their role. It isn't done through the admin right now.

Also, I think I was seduced a little by how easy it was to get WordPress going. bbPress seems a lot harder. Anyway: How do you add moderators? In the admin page, I can see who they are, but can't add anybody. Do I have to get the people that I am inviting as moderators to register themselves, and then I can go and change their privileges? Or can I somehow add them on my own (which is what I'd like).

Unfortunately, I know very little about coding, so I'll leave it up to somebody else. And that somebody may be dyaddydad! :) dyaddydad, I'd love to check out the plugin. Can you send it over to me so I can test it? kamera at gmail dot com.

It was crazy as it look aproximately two seconds to do it, using the code base of the Forum Restriction plugin and about one line of change. Allow me to get a backend worked out and if someone likes I'll post it up. Does anyone know how one would go about filtering the RSS feed out as well to prevent users from seeing this? dyaddydad on "Hide a Topic?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-a-topic#post-7387 Sat, 12 May 2007 14:17:07 +0000 dyaddydad 7387@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This is useful, but how would one go about hiding an entire forum so that only Mods could see it, post in it, etc. Thanks I am a newbie at all this.. fel64 on "Hide a Topic?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-a-topic#post-7386 Sat, 12 May 2007 13:32:07 +0000 fel64 7386@http://bbpress.org/forums/ No, but it won't be hard to write your own. Add a link to each topic (visible only to mods) to /hide.php?id=%topic_id%. In hide.php, check if the user is actually a moderator, if so add an entry to bb_topicmeta indicating this topic is hidden. Then use the right filter to monitor the topics and remove them from the list if it's marked as hidden and the user isn't a moderator. Finding the right filter might be hardest; I suspect it's <code>forum_topics</code> but don't know. List of filters <a href="http://bbpulp.org/wiki/API/filters">here</a>. [edit] oh yes, also worth adding another element to the new topic creation form, asking if it should be hidden, so that the topic won't be visible in between creation and being marked as hidden. citizenkeith on "Hide a Topic?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-a-topic#post-7383 Sat, 12 May 2007 13:23:05 +0000 citizenkeith 7383@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Is there a plugin that can be used to hide a topic? I'd like moderators and the keymaster to be able to have topics that only they can see (with [Hidden] appended to the name). Easy switching between hiding and public viewing is also needed. so1o on "Plugin: Forums Moderators" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-forums-moderators#post-4718 Wed, 21 Feb 2007 12:50:23 +0000 so1o 4718@http://bbpress.org/forums/ hey GiantsFan you've done the right thing. the forum moderators plugin is missing the capabilities which were added as part of release 0.8.

I'm able to access forum Users->Forum Moderators from my admin panel and can also update moderator privileges for specific users here. The updates seem to stick and appear correct on this page, however they do not seem to actually effect the user (moderators) themselves. When I log in as one of these moderators whom I've assigned to a specific forum, they are still able to moderator any forum I have created, whether they are assinged as a moderator to it or not, so basically they have global moderator privileges. Am I missing something?
