vB3.8 vBulletin 3.8.5 - Quick (Inline) User Editor

Introduction

This modification adds an inline user editor to your forums. This means that you can edit your users directly from their posts, without ever having to enter the Admin CP.

It is fully controlled via the Usergroup system. This means that you can allow Admininistrators to edit all parts of a users account, allow Super Moderators to do everything but change usernames, and delete accounts, and allow Moderators to only change profile fields and the users options. The choice is entirely yours.

The full list of Usergroup Permissions that can be used are:

• Can Use Quick User Editor (this stops the usergroup using any part of the Quick User Editor)
• Can Edit Usernames
• Can Change Passowrds
• Can Edit Email Addresses
• Can Edit Signatures
• Can Edit Profile Information (location / birthday / usertitle / etc)
• Can Edit Instant Messaging Details (includes support for Skype)
• Can Edit Usergroups (primary and secondary)
• Can Edit User Options
• Can Delete User Accounts
• Can Delete Avatars
• Can Delete Profile Pictures

These permissions allow you as the forum administrator to delegate some user management tasks to your moderators without having to give them access to the Admin CP.

Installation

Follow the quick and easy steps in install.txt

An example of a very limited permission set, you might wish to use this for moderators for example:

AdminCP Usergroup Permissions:


VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTE

If you allow your moderators / super mods to edit Usergroups using this tool, they CAN change administrators usergroups. If you do not trust your staff 100%, then don't allow them to change usergroups

Thanks, glad you like it. It is definitely one of my favourite mods

Edit: Sorry, I see what you mean now - you just want "Edit Signature" as a separate permission. I'll add that and update this thread when it's done

Just a note to say that I've updated this mod to make Editing Signatures a seperate permission. Now you can just allow your mods to edit signatures and nothing/anything else if you wish

To update, just re-download the updated Zip file from the first post, re-upload all the files and re-import the Product XML, making sure to set "Allow Overwrite" to Yes

These where all on vB.org about 4 years ago

Not as yet I'm afraid. These releases are purely compatibility updates to get them working with 3.8.5. After that I'll be going through again adding new features, etc

That's a bit odd. It looks like your language file has got so big that it exceeds the MySQL Packet Size (you can see the value on the AdminCP homepage).

Are you able to import another product that uses phrases? Try installing my Moderation Auto-PM mod or something to see if that works. Also, try using the "Rebuild All Languages" option in the AdminCP, then try importing the Product XML again.

Does your website run on a shared host or vps / dedicated server?

I've no idea using Plesk I'm afraid, but if you can login as root via SSH (or ask your host to) then you'll need to edit /etc/my.cnf and change the max_allowed_packet line to something bigger.

Eg: max_allowed_packet=16M

If the line doesn't exist in my.cnf, just add it in

Cool, glad to hear it's fixed

I'm afraid that I probably won't be updating it for vBulletin 4. I don't actually own a vBulletin license, a colleague of mine has given me access to his server/test board that runs vB 3.8. I can occasionally get access to a friends vB4 test board but it's not often

However, when I launch BBCustom, I will be re-releasing all of my modifications as open source so hopefully someone will take it and update it for vBulletin 4
