Reviews Module - Allow moderation by non Administrator

Reviews 1.4 - https://addons.wbce.org/pages/addons.ph … em&item=87

By default this module only seems to allow the Administrator (user 1) to moderate (accept, reply) the reviews.  The problem is, I am the administrator of a client page, because they are not technical and so they prefer a less complicated backend experience.  So, I created User Group called "Manager" for them to use.  But, they do want to moderate the reviews for their business.  Is this possible?

Yes.
First, install the small admin tool "Group ID Info" attached. It displays the ID of the user groups of the site (until the new WBCE version there's no easy way to figure out the ID of a group).
You will need the ID of the Manager group in the next step.

Then, open /modules/reviews/reviews.class.php with the AFE or your preferred source code editor. Go to line 995 and find

if($admin->ami_group_member(1)) {  // administrators

Change this to

if($admin->ami_group_member(1) || $admin->ami_group_member(2)) {  // administrators

Replace the 2 in the code above with the actual ID of the manager group.

(The admin tool can be removed afterards.)
