Moderator Essentials [Paid] 1.14.5

[Freelancer]

@Daniel Hood I would appreciate if you could leave direct template code modifications and add template includes instead.

For example I wanted to give the member view moderator popup menu items more classes to have icons (so it looks like class="OverlayTrigger item control ban" for example) and wasn't able to do this without editing and saving the modess template modification "member view" which has "<a class=" OverlayTrigger" href="{xen:link modess/lift-ban".

I would rather like to see "<xen:include template=............." in the mods with an extra template so it can be customized easily.

Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Daniel Hood]

I can see a use for that, it's just an extra step, for each one, for me when adding a template mod which is why I don't do it. I'll keep it in mind for future ones. I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to go back and change all the existing ones though, I know it's simple it's just tedious and rather time consuming.

I would appreciate if you could do it for future mods and extensions of your add-ons. If you have the time and mood you could overhaul it for the rest also, but I can live with it if you promise to do it for any future mods... Not being able to customize every bit drives a designer crazy

Interestingly I received the following Server Error directly after uploading the files from 1.11.3:

ErrorException: Fatal Error: Class 'ModEss_Model_Thread' not found - library/XenForo/Application.php(528) : eval()'d code:1

  ["_GET"] => array(0) {
  }
  ["_POST"] => array(0) {

}

I hope that is normal. I did run the install script and after that it hasn't come again yet...

You get all types of wonkiness when updating a live forum under usage with add-ons which deeply integrate with XenForo. This particular one generally happens when the code hasn't updated yet but the listeners have updated (perhaps aggressive php bytecode caching?)

I am still in the development phase, the data in the forum is only test data. So, this is just normal an I shouldn't be bothered right?

If it only happens while installing the add-on, you can ignore it. If it keeps happening after the cache rebuild is done; then something is broken.

 

[Freelancer]

I did rebuild all caches from the entire board, no error so far. So I guess I am safe... By the way, an add-on that allows to rebuild all caches at once would be nice *hint hint*.

 

[Daniel Hood]

The file was called before it finished updating. @Xon is correct.

I installed this on my two sites. Is there a user's guide or something?

How do I access the moderator control bar? Where is it?

 

[Daniel Hood]

There is not a user guide.

It'll be visible to all people that have permission to view it. Edit your moderating user group permissions.

 

[Spartan]

Is there a way of eliminating mod actions on their own posts from the mod action list?

1.11.4

What's New:

• The rollback warning option now has a "None" option which will disable a warning being sent. This allows you to use the edit history rollback functionality without the possibility of your staff "warning" the user.

1. Getting double entries above the thread in the "Moderator Action Log" (forum) when generating a new thread by clicking "discuss".
2. As well as double entries above the thread when clicking on "Notes" in the specific thread.

If I remember correct, that wasn't the case last or previous versions.

 

[Daniel Hood]

I have no idea how 1.11.4 changes resulted in that bug. I didn't edit anything involving that functionality. I'll look into it though.

I am not sure if it is since the last version, I must admit I haven't had tested it for the last few versions. I just update everything you make, in total trust...

 

[Daniel Hood]

I just tested on XenMods (which runs the latest versions of most of my add-ons). It only created one thread and the thread looks correct. I went in to the mod logs (modess/modLog?num_days=1), clicked "discuss". That's the feature you're referring to, right?

Yes. Interestingly it is in my custom style as well es in the XF default style. So I guess it is not a template that has been messed up, I could think that it might be a template mod, that is doing this.

Is there a way of not showing actions by a moderator on their own threads/posts?
