Check if a User Can Moderate Forum

[Ghan_04]

This is a quick mod that I created when we encountered this problem on our roleplaying site:

We wanted the moderators who run an actual roleplay to have a banner in their postbit reading "Storyteller", but only on posts within that forum. The problem is that most of the template checks like "is moderator" only check the user viewing the thread at that time and not the user who owns a particular post. This helper mod alleviates this issue. How we used it on our board:

This is in the message_user_info template

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, 24}  AND !{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, 30, 31} AND {xen:helper canmoderate, $forum, $user}">
<li class="ribbonStaff">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
Storyteller
</li></xen:if>

This is the first Xenforo mod I've tried to release publicly, so let me know if something doesn't work. I've tested it on our board, but everyone has different stuff.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for making this for us. Any one else who encounters this problem can use this.
