Code subsitute for Foe feature.

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible for someone to develop a code that could do the same thing as the 'Foe' feature except that a moderator can block another moderator. I know it sounds conflicting but I have a predicament where 2 of my Moderators would actually work better if one of them could not see the others post. It really help a bunch. Even if it is hiding the one moderators post would be helpful.

I hope this is possible,
Thanks in advance,
-Brandon

That would be possible by setting permissions for a certain user via javascript. It's just that it could cause some problems on your board. Personally, I'd insist that you ask the two moderators to sit down and work out their differences in a calm environment, because it wouldn't make sense to have a team which cannot work together..

Now, are you absolutely sure you want this ?

Question, does it work for those 2 users specifically or the whole board?

And sitting down for a therapy hour is not going to work, these 2 are brothers, they both good people, they just disagree on things. I have tried everything in the book just shy of this.

If this work they will be able to work as a team, because I know both of them personally and I can serve as relay man.

If it only applies to those members only then yes I am absolutely sure I want to yes.

Thanks,

-Brandon

Okie dokie,

Go to Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management > Create a new script

Title : Your choice
Placement : In the topics
Paste the code below :

Code:

$(function() {
  filter({
    for_user : 1,
    hide_who : [2]
  });
 
  function filter(o) {
    for (var i=0,bb2; i<o.hide_who.length; i++) {
      $('.bodyline').length ? bb2 = ',.post:has(.name a[href="/u'+o.hide_who[i]+'"]) + tr': '';
      $('.post:has(.name a[href="/u'+o.hide_who[i]+'"])' + bb2).hide();
    }
  }
});

I have an example in the code above :

Code:

  filter({
    for_user : 1,
    hide_who : [2]
  });

You can repaste this as much as you want in the code above, just make sure it's after the current. You need to change the values for certain users.

for_user : the id of the user the filter will apply to
hide_who : the id of the users whose posts will be hidden. You can add as many users as you want just make sure they're separated by a comma. e.g. [1,2,3,4,5,6]

To find the user ID just go to their profile and look at the URL. You should see /u followed by a number. The number is their ID.

Hello Ange,

Than You for the assistance. I have added the code, I will contact my Moderator now to see if it worked. Please stand by.

EDIT: Shoot! They went out again and left their pcs on. You can leave if you want Ange. I will get back to you with the results when they get back.

Thank You again for the help Ange!

-Brandon

Okay, no problem. If you have any questions, just let me know.

Hello Ange it is working, I have 1 problem though... I cannot see his posts ethier... any ideas?

Thanks Brandon


EDIT: Never mind Ange I forget to remove the comma, must have thought it was for everyone. I have removed the comma and the issue now resolved!

Thanks again Ange for his code
You are a real life saver! My mod is excited top.

-Brandon

I will ask for this to be left open, jusr in case!

You're welcome

Did you keep the default filter in the script ?

Code:

  filter({
    for_user : 1,
    hide_who : [2]
  });

If so, you can remove it.

I removed the comma after the number. It appears to have fixed problem! My mod no longer sees the other,ones posts and Everyone else can still see!

You are an Admin's super hero Ange!
You just saved me the trouble of creating an internal affairs unit!

Thanks again,
-Brandon

LOL you're welcome.

The only thing is you have to do it manually, but I don't think that's a problem for you, since it was only for those two.

It is better then foe system too, because if they needmto communicate via pm for any mod related issues they still can.

You are making me too happy Ange, I may have to climb up those PA mountains and kidnap you are so good (just kidding of coursr).

Oh yeah, you're right. I didn't think of that.

LOL you can take me for a day, but after that I have to get back to work and studying. I can do a lot in a day

I will be sure to bring my tablet so you can try some tablet surfing!


ROFL ROFLMAO cracked myself up thereL

Ooooh we're going to go to the beach and use the tablet as a surf board !?

Nevermind, it's too cold to go to the beach.

No it is too expensive for that! I meant web surfing!

And yes it is too cold!

hehe I know, I was being silly !

I know!

Do you have anymore questions on this script before I archive the topic ?

Nope it appears to working like a charm, for future reference though, say I wanted to add someone else to it, how do I that and you said I could more then 1 person right?

To add a new filter for another member, simply copy and paste a new filter after your existing filters.

filter({

• for_user : 1, <= this is the ID of the user the filter is for
  
• hide_who : [2] <= this is the list of members whose posts you want to hide for the user

});

You separate multiple users by a comma :
hide_who : [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

That's a lot of people u1 doesn't like, huh ? Oh wait..

His whole forum will be invisible haha. Thanks Ange for the clarification.

You're welcome

Hello Ange,

I have a problem...

So the code you gave me works, but it prevents me from seeing it as well, if I remove the comma my mod can't see it but I don't either, is there a way to fix this? I will provide the code in a moment.

EDIT: Here is the current code I have in the ACP JavaScript:

Code:

$(function() {
 filter({
   for_user : 54,
   hide_who : [24]
 });
 
 function filter(o) {
   for (var i=0,bb2; i<o.hide_who.length; i++) {
     $('.bodyline').length ? bb2 = ',.post:has(.name a[href="/u'+o.hide_who[i]+'"]) + tr': '';
     $('.post:has(.name a[href="/u'+o.hide_who[i]+'"])' + bb2).hide();
   }
 }
});

I suspect this little piggy to be the culprit:

for_user : 54,

Uhhh you're not going to believe this, but I, uh, forgot to put a condition for the user. This hiding of posts was visible to all..

Try now :

Code:

$(function() {
 filter({
  for_user : 54,
  hide_who : [24]
 });
 
 function filter(o) {
  if (o.for_user != _userdata.user_id) return;
  for (var i=0,bb2; i<o.hide_who.length; i++) {
    $('.bodyline').length ? bb2 = ',.post:has(.name a[href="/u'+o.hide_who[i]+'"]) + tr': '';
    $('.post:has(.name a[href="/u'+o.hide_who[i]+'"])' + bb2).hide();
  }
 }
});

I forgot to add : if (o.for_user != _userdata.user_id) return;

Ahhh it is alright Ange, we all make mistakes, I figured you might have left something out anyway.


EDIT: That appears to have fixed the problem, I can see his posts now and my cant. Thanks a bunch Ange!
