Building a forum. I'm using Comment Mover, which requires that moderators (or whatever you want to call the role) have "Administer Comments" permission to use the mover.
And I want the moderator role to be able to look at lists of all published/unplished comments and review them... which seems to be what admin/content/comment was designed for.
Problem: because my mod role has "administer comments" permission, the role also has access to Comment module settings... and I don't want that role messing around with Comments module settings.
(BTW, I don't think there's any way for Comment Mover to work w/o that permission)
I can imagine a several solutions:
1. Form Filter, and hide the Settings tab (Problem: ability to see hidden elements is either on or off and I need the mod role to be able to see hidden element on some other forms so... can't set them to "off").
2. Make a special Comments view w/Views and have Moderators use that. (Some progress here, but can't quite get the power that admin/content/comment offers... like seeing the comment text when mouseover the titles)
3. Hack something somewhere to make "Settings" tab (admin/content/comment/settings) appear only to certain role or even just to User1.
4. Something better than these?
If you have a #4 option to suggest I'd love to hear it. Though guidance on how to do #3 would also be great. I don't really "speak PHP" but I can cut and paste like a pro (-:
