Download the install.txt file, and the index.php file, and follow the instructions...

This is a totally new index.php file...

Hopefully, it will work...

If not, will someone please point out the corrections...

Satan

Sorry, you cannot post full vB files. Post instructions on how to edit it.

Yes, a good description would be nice so that everyone knows what this hack does. From the title of the hack, I almost know although fill me in a little more :).

Well...

In theory, it should provide the "Lesser Admin" with certain abilities to edit certain files, but that is all...

It was requested here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39478)...

They should be able to edit certain scripts that the Main Admin wants...

Does anybody have it working?

I know what this does, if you're interested.. If you have a board in which there are more then 1 admin, other than you, it makes it so that the other Administrators have lesser options then you. So it's like another usergroup mix between Administrator & Super Moderator.

To add more confusion, you should call yourself a Super Administrator and the others Administrators. ;)

Why would you want more than one admin on a board anyway? Just give them more options as moderators or super moderators. I think having more than one admin deciding things for a board can be dangerous (as someone I know found out when the other admins locked him out of his own board). Too many people think the title "Administrator" is something more special than it really is. Just my thoughts. :)

Good job on the 5-post action there, Boofo. ;) Anyways, to be honest.. I don't think i'll install this one either, because I will never have more then 1 admin, for obvious reasons.

I got rid of 4 of them. My browser got stuck (or so I thought) and I must have been hitting submit reply pretty regularly. :)

I'm with you on the single Admin idea. I figure if anyone is going to mess my board up it might as well be the one paying for it. :)

Eh you people are too paranoid, all boards I admin at have multiple admins, three have three including me, one has four including me. Also I just got an interesting idea, why not have a seperate usergroup and then add a usergroup if statement to the PHP that displays only certain admin CP links if you are of a certain usergroup? You could back it up by adding config.php checking for userids to access said scripts you didn't want the other admins to have access to.

I have thought of and implemented this at a board I was admin of...

It worked fine...

multiple admins are not an uncommon thing.
at my forums we have several, but our forum is also the combined forums of 4 different sites, so all the sites' owners are admins as well.

we all work well together.. no problems. ;)

What more is there to tell?

In theory, a CP should appear that has less functions than a Main Admin, but more than a Mod...
