Moderators

[Alex53]

I would like to be able to create users who can approve uploads, but that dont have full access to the configuration, etc. like the admin has, so it would be a kind of Moderator.

I use version 132, please advise whether this is possible.

Not currently possible, but may be in the future. Search the board for previous discussions.

tell me if it works... create a group called 'Moderators' (case sensitive)... move a user into that group. This user has to be in (user) admin mode then let him call domain/cpgdir/editpics.php?mode=upload_approval (same as for admin... just admin has that link in the admin menu, the moderator not... you can add it if you want...)

now open editpics.php
after

Code Select Expand

define('EDIT_PICTURES_MODE', !isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['mode']));
add

Code Select Expand

define('MODERATOR_MODE', $USER_DATA['group_name']=="Moderators");



few lines below replace

Code Select Expand

if (UPLOAD_APPROVAL_MODE && !GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);
with

Code Select Expand

if (UPLOAD_APPROVAL_MODE && ((!MODERATOR_MODE) && (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE))) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);


this should work but I haven't tested it....
