vB Moderators aren't seeing the footer mod link

**Big Dan** · Apr 14th, 2008, 9:47 am

Hey Guys,

I have kind of a weird problem, my regular moderators aren't seeing the Mod CP link in the footer. I've double checked user group permissions but don't see where I'd give them access. I tried with a test account, super mods see it, admins see, but regular moderators aren't seeing the link yet they can access the Mod CP via the URL.

For the first time in a long time, I don't have an answer to a vBulletin issue. :eek: Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

There isn't a setting, they automatically see it, you should check the footer template and be sure it's coded in properly, if it's the forum I redesigned, then it sounds to me like you accidentally removed the mod cp link when I had you remove the additional privacy policy link.

Yup it's that forum but it's the same across all three templates even the vB default one... I gotta look and see if that conditional is even there.

You have to manually code the footer template and remember to set the permissions of the link to the mods usergroup id

Hey guys..

I Thought I'd let you know a little set up I have.

I'll show you the full code and how to insert it too!

I have a menu on my navbar called "User Menu" within this drop down menu it contains links to PM, UserCP, ModCp, AdminCP, Profile (vbul 3.7 i'll take that out of the code) Contacts, New Posts, Todays Posts & Subscribed Threads.

This is the code...

In navbar template find:

Code:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div class="tborder" style="padding:$stylevar[cellspacing]px; border-top-width:0px">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
	<tr align="center">

Below Add:

Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
				<td id="usermen" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usermen" accesskey="3">User Menu</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usermen"); </script></td>
			</if>

While Still in navbar template find:

Code:

<!-- / user cp tools menu -->

Below Add (This is the non vB 3.7 version.. doesn't contain "Your Profile Link Below this code find the 3.7 version

):

Code:

<!-- usermen menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usermen_menu" style="display:none" align="$stylevar[left]">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

		<tr><td class="thead">User Menu</td></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">PM's</a></td></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">UserCP</a></td></tr>
		<if condition="$show['modcplink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$modcpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">ModCP</a></td></tr></if>
		<if condition="$show['admincplink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$admincpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">AdminCP</a></td></tr></if>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;">Your Contacts</a></td></tr>
                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">New Posts</a></td></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">Todays Posts</a></td></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="subscription.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">Subscribed Posts</a></td></tr>

		
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / usermen menu -->

		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="subscription.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">Subscribed Posts</a></td></tr>

		
		</table>

Nice...But just in case make a copy of the template...

In case you need it reversed some day

You can always use the "Revert Template" button too

You simply click "Add New Style". Don't give it a parent style, it will then use all the default template code, no need to make copies as you can just refer to the new style you just added which is the vbulletin default.
