Admin Level Revisited for Snitz 3.4
AUTHOR:
Selçuk Islamoglu (SiSL)
Initial Release : 10/1/2005

This mod is designed over original Admin Level mod by David Kohen (Copyright David Kohen (2002) and the Snitz Forums 2000 development team.). Differently, you can select from 3 administrator types. Global moderators, Maintenance Administrators and Super admins and Master Admin (that's you!)

Features:
- Administrators can set to 3 groups
- Global moderators can not access to any administration options
- Maintenance Admins and Super admins can access to defined administrator pages.
- Super admins can access every page that Maintenance Admins can.
- Administrators can edit inferior level administrators details.
- You can edit which group of administrators can access to which pages by editing file list include.

Cons
- This mod assumes all administration page names starting with "admin_" as a Snitz Modding custom.

(PS: As an Archieve-searching handicapped, I apologize if similiar mod for categorizing admins over AdminLevel mod has been previously released)

I have installed this Admin Level Revisited but cannot get it to work.
I think there is a coding error in the inc_profile.asp file. In the modify Profile mode it should have a drop down box for the levels. All I get is TEXT of the levels all running together.

I have tried numerous things to fix this but to no avail.
Is anybody else using this MOD who can help with this?

From the looks of it, you have a problem with the select command. Post a link to your "inc_profile.asp" in .txt format & we can take a look.<

In the dbs_ I saw a problem, but to understand it look at the mod code for inc_profile.asp:

if rs("M_ALEVEL") = 3 Then Response.Write "FORUM MASTER"
if rs("M_ALEVEL") = 2 Then Response.Write "Super Admin"
if rs("M_ALEVEL") = 1 Then Response.Write "Maintenance Admin"
if rs("M_ALEVEL") = 0 Then Response.Write "Global Moderator"

The FORUM MASTER, in Snitz terms, is the Member ID designation for intAdminMemberID

In a standard Snitz install, intAdminMemberID is a constant and set to Member_ID number 1

In the dbs_ for this MOD it does not look for the intAdminMemberID and sets all admins to the value of 1 for the M_ALEVEL column. Well, that was the intention. For me, it kept my M_ALEVEL at 0 for my intAdminMemberID.
If you are the intAdminMemberID, then get into your database and set your M_ALEVEL to 3, and then you should see the dropdown.
The other problem I saw was the placement for the dropdown. It said to look for this code:

Code:
		if rs("MEMBER_ID") = intAdminMemberID then
Response.Write " <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>Administrator</font>" & vbNewLine & _
" <input type=""hidden"" value=""3"" name=""Level"">" & vbNewLine
else
Response.Write " <select value=""1"" name=""Level"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <option value=""1"""
if rs("M_LEVEL") = 1 then Response.Write(" selected")
Response.Write ">Normal User</option>" & vbNewLine & _
" <option value=""2"""
if rs("M_LEVEL") = 2 then Response.Write(" selected")
Response.Write ">Moderator</option>" & vbNewLine & _
" <option value=""3"""
if rs("M_LEVEL") = 3 then Response.Write(" selected")
Response.Write ">Administrator</option>" & vbNewLine & _
" </select>" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " </td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
end if
if not(strUseExtendedProfile) then

and to add the MOD's code just before the end if statement. There are two end if statements there. It should be inserted after the </tr>" & vbNewLine and before the second end if.
Try those things and post back what you get.<

Immediately prior to the modification for the admin levels, you lost two closing statements </td> & </tr>. Where they should be, you had blank spaces being printed.
Try this version. Don't worry about a certificate warning, I'm aware of it.<

Hi Guys:

no go. it does not work. I originally did it exactly as instructed in the MOD of which you guys referred to. That's why I started messing with it to figure out why.
I also used your version Carefree.

The MEMBER_ID 1 has its ALEVEL set to 3. no go.

Alright, I'll go through your file line-by-line and try to pinpoint it. Cannot do much with it because of the various missing includes, but I'll comment them out & test it.<

Done with it. Tested it by removing the includes, and it works. Link has been updated.<
