Admin and Mod links

[HexOnxOnx]

I have both the admin and mod links showing at the bottom of my foums. I noticed this one other time then it went away. Any ideas how to just get the admin link to show up for me?

This is not a standard feature. You must have added this manually. The only way I can think of to do this is to use conditionals.

it must be a standard thing i have vb3 beta 5 and they are there for me and its a standard instalation, however i think you need to be logged in as an admin to see them.......

Actually I'm logged in as Admin here and see the Admin link - but not the Mod link.

I can see both of them there. I even checked to make sure I didn't add the admins to another user group as well.

Probably an issue with the conditional in the footer template.

I see both.

Probably an issue with the conditional in the footer template.

Code that showed both links:

<b>&lt; <a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]">Contact Us</a> - <a href="$vboptions[homeurl]">$vboptions[hometitle]</a> <if condition="($permissions['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL)">- <a href="$admincpdir/">Admin</a> </if><if condition="can_moderate()">- <a href="$modcpdir/">Mod</a> </if><if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']">- <a href="archive/index.php/">Archive</a></if>
<!-- - <a href="$vboptions[privacyurl]">Privacy Statement</a> --> &gt;</b><br />

Anything wrong with that code?

It's not an issue.
Just remove yourself from moderating any forum, and you won't see the link to the modcp.

Me, I prefer to see both links, so I moderate a private invisible empty forum.

Well if I remove the ability to moderate the forums from the admins then the admins can't delete or move or even edit posts, I tried that already.

No, you are wrong.

* remove the admins as moderators of specific forums
=> /admincp/moderator.php?do=showlist
* edit the Administrators usergroup permissions to add global permissions
=> admincp/usergroup.php?do=edit&usergroupid=6

And all will go fine.

Ok I had set the administrator usergroup properties to not be moderators but I have no clue where to add global permissions. At the bottom of I deselect can moderate forums, then admins can't delete or even edit posts. If I select the can moderate forums, then I get the mod and admin links on the main page.

Oups, sorry, I made the test, and yes I keep the link too.
So you'll probably need to edit the footer template and add a condition so admins do not see the Mod link.

Anyone have any idea how to do this? Thanks.

That should not be true. Admin should have these permissions throughout the forums, regardless if they are Mods or not.
