I believe that he searched his new moderator and assigned him/her to be a moderator (=Yes).

Which is basically what I wrote earlier in this discussion (although I also mentioned the difference between global moderators and specific forum moderators). But that isn't what Cerberus is saying. Cerberus says you only have to assign the rank to make someone a moderator. Very puzzling! :S

G'day, b0n40. It's unfortunate that this thread became convoluted and confusing.

Simple: Assigning a moderator to a forum has nothing to do with their rank! Do not assign the rank of moderator to someone that you want to act as a moderator. Leave their rank as "no rank assigned". That's it. No matter what was written elsewhere in this thread, the trying to use Rank Title = Moderator will not work to assign a user account to have moderator privileges in the forum.

You assign an user account to be a moderator of your forum using the User Administration facility - unfortunately there isn't an article in the Wiki that describes how you do it. :(

I will repeat what I wrote before about the concepts of category moderator and global moderator - it's important to understand that there is a difference:

There are two types of moderators: those who are assigned to specific moderated categories and those who are "global moderators" who have moderator privileges across all categories in the forum.

Let's say you have a category in your forum called "General/Locked Forum" and you've set this category with Moderated = Yes. You do that with the Forum Administration facility.

Let's say that you want to assign a user account to be a moderator of this category (and only this category). See the following image that shows you what you need to use in the User Administration facility.


To assign a user as a global moderator, use the same approach (set Is Moderator = Yes) but do not select any category.

It's actually quite easy. It's just difficult for me to explain it. :)

Hey Sozzled,
thanks for this grate explanation about selecting moderators in Kunena :). I thought for selecting a global moderator i should pick all the categories... 10x for explaining.

But still i cant make my users moderators... may be you can take a look?
if you need more information ?
I had made some of my users moderators, but that was long time ago, and now it is not working.
Is it possible to be some kind of conflict with another extension ?(im just guessing)

Thank you for your help :)
Best Regards!
I just Sync with all options. And nothing changed.
+Also when im trying to change for example my own (special)rank from Kunena User manager, it doesn't change.
I can't change user signature from kunena user manager...

There are at lest two ways that I could interpret this statement:

(1) When you use the User Administration facility, and you select a user to assign as a moderator, when you set Is Moderator = Yes (and save the change) the setting is not applied. That's one possible reading of the question. In other words, are you saying that there is a problem with the procedure that assigns a moderator?

(2) The procedure of setting a moderator works but the users you have assigned to moderate your forum (or specific categories in your forum) do not have moderator privileges. Is this what you are asking? In this case, look again at the forum categories and verify that your categories are set Moderated = Yes.

I think we need to understand what is the specific problem here. I don't understand how the Synchronize Users facility has become involved in this discussion. :dry:

There may be other problems that you may want to ask us about, but for the benefit of other people, can we please remain focussed on this one. How to assign a moderator to your forum. What I'm trying to do is answer that question and to explain the process. If we're agreed that the process is correct, then that's where the thread should stop. If you're having a problem with the process that's probably a new topic.
