[Andrew] Moderator Panel 2.0.9

[lazy llama]

Hi @AndrewSimm

Great addon which I've been using quite a lot - many thanks.

The one thing I am having issues with is the Force Ignore:

• Force one user to ignore another user
• Two way force ignore option
• Users that are force ignored cannot remove force ignore

If one of the users is already ignoring the other, when I select the "Make Both Ways" option, I get an error:


As I'm trying to force the ignore, would it be possible to make the existing ignore so that the user cannot then remove it?

Is there a plugin like this that has a chatroom enabled in it for mods? I would love something like this to include a chat for us. Group DM is kinda messy.

Group DM is kinda messy

How is it worse than a chat? Seems like the exact same thing.

It’s not really the same at all. Group DMs get buried as other conversations come in, while a dedicated staff chatroom inside a mod panel is just way more convenient and easier to access. The whole point of an add on like this is to keep everything in one place, which is why I suggested something that would make things easier to manage.

[OzzModz] Conversation Folders should work for that purpose.

Hmm, maybe either you or me misunderstood what moderator panel delivers: As far as I understand it it bundles existing moderator functions for the most part, some of which are normally burried in acp. It does not or barely add new ones. There is no chat function in XF, so there is none to be expected in moderator panel.

I clearly understand the need for information exchange between staff and also understand, that the DM system is not optimal for that, even with things like Conversation Folders.

But then you could simply create a forum node with limited access for staff only. Pretty easy to keep the overview here. However, chat ist in opposite to that real time messaging - fast and typically history is not relevant. If you have the need for something like that continuously you must run a big forum with loads of staff that is on the forum permanently during work hours. But then: There are dozens of chat systems that have chat as their main purpose - they are thus by nature far better than a XF add on could ever be. Slack, Rocket Chat, Matrix, to name just a few. Free, freemium or comercially - whatever you prefer. There are also add ons that integrate such systems into XF as well as dedicated chat systems for XF:

As you have not made clear what the problem ist that you want to solve but rather requested a concrete solution directly it is hard to tell what can suit your needs. What's easy to tell is that your request seems not to target moderator panel and that there are many solutions available for it.

Just to clarify, I’m fully aware of what this add-on includes. I’m not confused. I was asking if there’s something similar to this, but with a chatroom built in for mods.

Not sure what's unclear about that, but here’s my original comment:

"Is there a plugin like this that has a chatroom enabled in it for mods? I would love something like this to include a chat for us. Group DM is kinda messy."

I just want an all-in-one solution where moderators can access their tools and have a built-in space to talk. Something simple that keeps everything in one place.

Since this apparently seems to be extremely unheard of and hard to understand, it will most likely need custom development.

It has been a couple of years since I have looked at chat add-ons but when I did I noticed they tended to have options to embed in other templates. If that is still the case then you could do a template modification to add one of the existing chats to this add-on.
