What Does This Hack Do?

This is hack gives your Super Moderators the option in the ModCP to now manually approve new user registrations, that before now only Administrators could do from the AdminCP.

This means you can now spread the load of manually approving members with your Super Moderators, leaving you the administrator more time to do other things.

This hack was created because I liked the idea of the request in this thread, and seems to have been requested quite a few times over the years.

There are no file or template changes at all and is fully phrased. You just need to upload 1 file, import 1 product and alter 2 vBulletin Options in the AdminCP.

Installation Instructions

1. Unzip product-jd_20070831.zip
2. Upload /upload/modcp/user_moderation.php to your <forum root>/modcp folder (overwrite existing uploaded file if upgrading).
3. Import product-jd_20070831.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager (set Allow Overwrite to Yes if upgrading).
4. Under the User Registration Options section of vBulletin Options in the AdminCP:
   • Ensure Moderate New Members is set to Yes
   • Ensure Verify Email address in Registration is set to Yes
