Arck Interactive's plugins:
Moderators for Roles for Elgg 1.8
Implements the Moderator role for Elgg via the Roles framework
Last updated 460 days ago
This plugin adds more granular access to your Elgg site by introducing a new user role: Moderator.
Moderators can edit other users' content and view or act on reported content, but can't access other admin features. To appoint one of your users as a Moderator, first make him/her an admin user, then change this user's role to 'Moderator'. You can do this by going to the user's settings page, which is something like http://your-site-url/settings/user/username. Make sure you're logged in as an admin user - this is required to change user roles.
The plugin requires the Roles framework - make sure you install and enable that one first.

Again. Recommended... nice work
Sounds good, but would it not make more sense to merge the two steps into one? Hook into the "make admin" action and change the forward to the make moderator action?
nice one ...
Hello it doesn't work,
I have installed the Roles Framework, then Moderator roles and Administrator for Roles. When I change a user into a Group moderator, and after that when this new Moderator goes online, the site is not available, internal error 500.
What is the reason?
Best regards.

@Trajan that is certainly a possibility. Will consider for next release. Thanks for the feedback!
@Kai Just tested this on Elgg 1.8.3 and works as expected. What Elgg version are you using? Try to disable all plugins except for the bundled ones, then enable the Roles family, and see if you still have this error.
Hi thanks for this much needed plugin, There's one little bug I found tho'. When I (main admin) click on my messages icon to go to my inbox it just redirects to index.
Any ideas?
thanks
@Stumpy please upgrade to Roles 1.0.1, this issue has been fixed already.
Nice work! Andras, I have not look at the code yet, but I was wondering how to restrict moderators from, let's say 'upload files' or 'create blogs' or other stuff??
@Rodolfo, the plugin comes with some detailed documentation. It should all be clear in there
@Ismayil Thanks! Digging into it!!!
@Andras
Awesome thanks!
@Arck I use Elgg 1.8.2, maybe this is the problem? Best regards.
Kai
@ARCK: Now I have got Elgg 1.8.3, it still doesn't work.
Then I have deactivated all plugins except Roles, and Moderator for Roles. But now I am not able to admin the users.
Where can I find the server's Error logs?
Hello again,
one step forward: it works without any theme, but it does not work with the "Easytheme".
Can anyone help?
yes. disable the theme. it seems there is a view being disrupted.
hi,thanx for your useful plugin (framework!).
can i deny moderators from "editing profile" and "settings" of other users?
this is my code, but it doesn't work!
thanks.
@asid, I'm afraid that part of the framework is experimental, and will not be able to do what you need here. Your best bet would be to register a hook or event handler in the roles configuration array, that explicitly checks the current page, and denies access on the fly as necessary.
thanks Andras. i think i must read again and again about hooks, this part of elgg is a little unclear for me ;)
Can someone please tell me from where can i download this "roles framework"? I can't find it on this site or any other. Or if someone can help me with some indications on how to modify the existing admin rules and make it for moderator...
@PrivateMe http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/847275/developer/arckinteractive/roles
"Admin options" for a user's profile: the "make admin" and "explore log" don't belong because the moderators don't have permission. For moderators, how to get rid of these two listings in "Admin options"? I tried to look at the code, but it's beyond me.
can you make it so moderators cannot edit admin content
speedy:
u been gone hiding soo longg!;-X
this moderator limited power ->
can be achieved by simple metadata flag = 'moderator' and
then using that to control whatever admin areas that you want.
e.g.
$user->moderator=true;
$user->->save();
then afterwards `-`->
if $user->moderator {
allow do this or do this..
but not do that nor that...
}
okay. thanks.
Sorry. I have been busy with school but i am working on a new elgg project dhrup: can u add me to GTalk
I want it so the moderators can't do things to the admin
