Why does U_ACP work and U_MCP not?

[interlog]

I'm trying to put a switches in some of the html pages to make certain things visible to Moderators only.

The following works:

<!-- IF U_ACP -->
-- code viewable to Admin only --
<!-- ENDIF -->

but the following doesn't:

<!-- IF U_MCP -->
-- code viewable to Mods only --
<!-- ENDIF -->

The code that is to be seen to Mods only is not seen by them whilst it is seen to registered users.

Any advise?

Surely somebody has the answer here?

How do I make certain code in the .html files applicable to Mods only?

Hi,

I'm trying to add the code to:

styles/subSilver/template/ucp_profile_signature.html

and

styles/subSilver/template/posting_body.html

so that the colour box is not viewable to members/guests and only to Mods.

This is the code that doesn't work:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF U_MCP -->
  <td class="genmed" align="center">{L_FONT_COLOR}</td>
<!-- ENDIF -->

and

Code: Select all

<!-- IF U_MCP -->
  <script type="text/javascript">
        <!--
        colorPalette('v', 7, 6)
        //-->
   </script>
<!-- ENDIF -->

it's seems to be a bug or actually be a feature in posting.php. You have to use the U_ACP instead of U_MCP due to the code may be missing assign a var in posting.php.

For a simple work around for now you may have in posting.php add a simple statement.

Code: Select all

$template->assign_var('U_MCP', 'MCP'); 

but if you not really want it, then wait for the fix would be better.

I have just tested global moderator due to I'am not family with the acl control and if any wrong, please let me know.

Thank you
