MyBB 1.2 Beta: Custom Moderation

Custom Moderator Tools are one of the new sections in the Admin Control Panel in MyBB 1.2. Also known as ‘multi-moderation’, this feature allows you to add ‘tools’ to the standard moderator options that allow you to do many moderator actions at the same time. For example, for our beta boards, we have a tool to mark fixed bug threads with a [F] and move it into the appropriate “Fixed Bugs” forum, and also add a reply stating that the bug was fixed. The tools allow moderators to do many actions in one, saving time and effort. In the Admin Continue Reading

MyBB 1.2 Beta: Multi-quoting

I’m going to be posting this series of screenshots in new posts now. One of the new features of MyBB 1.2 is multi-quoting. This function allows you to select as many posts as you want, from a one or more threads, and have them all ‘pre-quoted’ in the message box when creating a new thread or reply. The following screenshot shows the postbit. The multi-quote button is the one to the right of the “Reply” button (which was “Quote” before 1.2). (The postbit display of the new reputation system is also shown here) The screenshot below shows the new reply Continue Reading

MyBB 1.2 Beta

Every few days I will post a screenshot of the MyBB 1.2 Beta for those of you who didn’t get invited into the beta group (or beta-testers who are still interested in looking at these screenshots). In case you miss one, they will be archived on my Flickr gallery. June 28, 2006 A view of one of the new sections of the Admin CP.

Now you can Continue Reading

MyBB Development Update: Moderation

I’ve also been working on MyBB recently and I’ve added a significant feature to MyBB 1.2 a few days ago, which I’ll let you people guess what it is. The feature was not requested due to popularity (I don’t think many people had suggested it on the MyBB Community Forums), but within the staff team there were some who supported this feature. I’ll start off with this clue and add more hints later if requested: A couple of months ago, I converted most of the stuff in moderation.php into a class. This will allow plugins and other features within MyBB Continue Reading

MyBB Development Update: Attachments

In anticipation of the release of first beta/preview of MyBB 1.2, I’ve been committing a lot of small features here and there. Some of them are from past suggestions on the Suggestions forum on the Community Forums (which proves that yes we do add features that people suggest to the MyBB releases). However, there are others that I have added on my own. One of the sections I concentrated on during the last few days was the Attachment Manager, in both the Admin CP and User CP. I thought that it lacked some functionality, including finding broken attachments. There are Continue Reading
