This adds a page that allows the moderators access specific admin funtions or other information.

I am using it to give moderators access to the statistics on the site (this is an intranet site and the managers only have moderator access but love to hear the statistics). It is pretty simple and should be easy to tweak for what you want site moderators to have access to.

Note: <font color="orange">This is not a secure page!</font id="orange"> It only uses a mlev check for security, so I highly recommend not putting anything sensative or potentially damaging on or linked from the page. If anyone knows of a better check that I should be using for security, please post it here.

In inc_header.asp look for:
 if (mlev = 4) or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
  Response.Write "        <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
    "          <td align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><a href=""admin_home.asp""" & dWStatus("Access the Forum Admin Functions...") & " tabindex=""-1"">Admin Options</a>"


Just before it add this to create a link to the moderator page similar to admin options:
 if (mlev = 3) then
  Response.Write "        <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
    "        <td align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><a href=""moderator_home.asp""" & dWStatus("Access the Forum Moderator Functions...") & " tabindex=""-1"">Moderator Options</a>" & _
    "  <br /><br /></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
    "        </tr>" & vbNewLine
 end if


Then create a page named <b>moderator_home.asp</b> modeled after the admin_home.asp page. Like the following:

Lastly, to allow moderators access to what is normally an admin only page. change the check for the admin login for that page from:
if Session(strCookieURL & "Approval") <> "15916941253" then
 scriptname = split(request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME"),"/")
 Response.Redirect "admin_login.asp?target=" & scriptname(ubound(scriptname))
end if

to:
if  Mlev <> 3 and Session(strCookieURL & "Approval") <> "15916941253" then
 scriptname = split(request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME"),"/")
 Response.Redirect "admin_login.asp?target=" & scriptname(ubound(scriptname))
end if
