I have some quick links I would like to add in a block for only my admins and moderators to see. Such as IP checkers, etc.
How do I create this block for them?
I can pm the staff here the exact links if interested.

C_P,

Do you want to add the links into an existing block (module) or into a brand new module? If you want to display them inside of an existing module then you'll have to use some conditionals to be based upon what user group the person is associated with. But if you're creating a new module then you can take advantage of the built-in security settings of CMPS in the properties of the module; in the "usergroups" section of the module just turn off any usergroups who shouldn't have access to it.

The second approach is what I ended up doing to make my life easier instead of playing around with the conditionals. ;)

C_P,

No problem. Either shoot me off a PM here or send email to "kw802 at farpointstation.org" (substituting "@" for " at " of course).

C_P,

No problem, just glad I could help. :cool: I generally try to help out when & where I can in life because, who knows, I might be the one in need one day.

Your site is looking nice, the graphics designer did a nice job with the custom icons & colors.

Help? Help, he says? You did more than HELP!
You are amazing, thank you sooo very much! Be carefull, now everyone knows you are extremely helpfull and may request you. ;)
Thank you VERY much for the nice compliments also. I like the Aqua Glass Mac look but not many styles out there with this look yet. I guess I should say "free styles or inexpensive".
Thank you again!
