Looking for a hack/modification

Hey all,

Don't really want to go into why I am looking for this but can anyone come up with or no of a pre-exisiting code that takes away a moderators ability to check a posters IP. It seems like you could just do away with some code but I want it where admins still have this function.

The ip functionality seems to be in
modules/Forums/modcp.php starting at

Code:




case 'ip':

After this, I think we can add a check to determine if they are an admin. If not, then just stop.

Code:




$is_admin = ( $userdata['user_level'] == ADMIN && $userdata['session_logged_in'] ) ? TRUE : 0;


if (!$is_admin) die();

Sure, its not the most user-friendly approach (mod: "why can't I see IP, I only get a blank screen") but you could always remove the buttons in your template somehow. It would take more code than I have time for, but the concept above should help you out there.
