Add Real Moderator Feature
Feature Request
The old "moderator" feature from earlier Dizkus never actually granted the moderators rights to do anything. #38
This is a request to add real forum moderator features, which is a fundamental feature of most forum applications.
phpBB moderator features https://www.phpbb.com/support/documentation/3.0/quickstart/quick_permissions.php#quick_permissions_moderators
MyBB moderator features http://docs.mybb.com/Moderating_Options.html#Normal_Thread_Moderation
vBulletin moderator features http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/onepage/#item146
Yes, some of the features are available, but only to admins. No way to elevate a user to "forum moderator" status and give them only selected abilities, like moving posts to the correct forum, locking topics, add sticky status, merge topics, split topics etc.
Feel free to leave this on the back burner, I just wanted the feature request on record for after everything else is solved.
@damon18 - please test this more now. I understand that "fine-grained" control over each function is still not available, but as it is currently implemented you should be able to set a user as a moderator in one of three ways:
- via zikula permissions (moderator level - is global for whole forum)
- via dizkus forum settings as moderator user - forum specific
- via dizkus forum settings as moderator group - forum specific
just made some more changes. I think that moderators are only forum specific no matter which of the three methods is used. Although if I understand zikula perms correctly, setting a user as moderator perms for the whole module should also return true for any individual forum. some testing would be appreciated
