Who's Online Permissions

[JoyB]

Hi

I have set up a new usergroup and disabled the "Who's Online Permissions" but they can still view the IP addresses by clicking the icon.

Is there anything else I need to disable that I've missed?

Thanks for your time,
Joy

If the Can View IP Addresses permission is disabled then the users shouldn't be able to view IP addresses.

Are these users members of multiple groups? If so, make sure this permission is set to No for each group.

Hi Jake

Thanks for your help
No, the members aren't members of multiple usergroups. I set up a new usergroup and set "Who's Online permissions" to NO. I also set "Can Moderate All Forums (is Super Moderator)" to YES. I want that group to moderate ALL forums but I do NOT want them seeing the IP addresses.

I must be doing something wrong?

Oh, you are talking about IPs in posts. That is controlled by this setting:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Log IP Addresses

Hi

I have different levels of moderation:

1. Administrators
2. Senior Moderators
3. Support Moderators

I've got that setting as "Display, but require administrator or moderator". I want my Administrators and Senior Moderators to have access to the IP addresses but I don't want the support moderators to have that option, is that possible?

Thanks for your patience, it's appreciated,

Joy

For regular forum moderators you can disable IP viewing privs in your:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager

Select the moderator from the menu on the right. Change the Can View IP Addresses permission.

Thanks very much for your help Jake, it's much appreciated.

If I do that it will show which forums each moderator moderates on the "View Forum Leaders" list and I don't want that to happen, I just want their names to appear on that list.

Basically, what I'd like to do is have a usergroup that: Can NOT view the IP addresses, can moderate all categories but only have their names appear on the "View Forum Leaders" list and NOT the categories they moderate.

I can't see any way of doing this and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

In that case, make them super moderators by moving them to the Super Moderators group or by granting their group super moderator status in your:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Can Moderate All Forums (is Super Moderator)

Then use a template conditional to hide IPs from that group. Go to your:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Postbit Templates -> postbit_ip

Add the red code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != X">
<if condition="$show['ip']">
	$vbphrase[ip]: $post[ip]
<else />
	<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="$post[ip]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</if>

Where X is the usergroupid of the group you don't want viewing IPs. That should work.

That works perfectly Jake, thanks very much for your help, it's much appreciated
