Quick (Inline) User Editor
Version 2.0

What does this do?
This mod 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!

Ok... I'm interested, tell me more...
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 Profile Information
(location / birthday / usertitle / etc)
Can Edit Custom Profile Fields
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. See the screenshots below for examples of editing with limited permissions.

Sounds great! How do I install?

Upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum
Import the Product XML as normal
Edit the postbit / postbit_legacy template:

Find:

Code:

<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>

Directly below this, add:

Code:

<!-- Quick User Editor -->
<if condition="$can_use_que">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="que.php?$session[sessionurl]do=edit&userid=$post[userid]" target="_blank"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[que_edit_x_account]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>
<!-- / Quick User Editor -->

And to upgrade?
Please read the "Upgrade" section of the install.txt file contained in the zip.

All done! Now what?
Before anyone can use the Quick User Editor you will need to set the Usergroup Permissions.

Security Note: This mod allows people to edit their usergroups if you give them permissions to - this means that your mods could upgrade themselves to an Administrator if you give them permission to change Usergroups.

Please ONLY give your staff permission to edit usergroups if you REALLY trust them. If in doubt, don't give them access to change usergroups

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!
