pm user on thread modoration

[Delphiprogrammi]

hi,

This is a port of this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=69212) and i'm posting this with the original authors permission (yes i did ask him)

This extension will send a pm to the threadstarter when a modorator or admin takes "administrative action" currently supported are


stuck / unstuck
open / close
edit *
delete *
move
merge
split


* = means you need to modify some vbulletin files to make it work correctly

plugins = 7
phrased = yes

The installation is pretty simple.Goto yourforum.tld/admincp.Choose plugin system => manage products => add product browse to product-modautopm.xml and import it

next you needto goto the vbulletin options group "message posting and editing postings and there you'll find some settings regarding this extension

everything good ? => hit save

you cannot skip this step or you'll receive SQL errors !!

detailed install instructions are in readme.txt

Nice hack, I think I may install this later. Question: Can this also be expanded in a future use to e-mail the user? Some users don't really get the concept of PMs :)

[Cyricx]

Very nice!!

Question, does the pm come from a specific person? or from the moderator who performed the action?

[Delphiprogrammi]

you can specify that on the settings page but offcource you can enter only one id (to prevent pm flooding) and the userid must be a moderator

im wondering bout something, I have a hidden recycle bin, and whenever I wanna delete a topic, I move it there, but in this case, if I moved a topic there, it will pm the user telling him about that hidden forum which no one knows about...

any suggestion?

yes it will show the url but if this user has no rights he can't view the hidden stuff.If you don't want this at all you can simple deactivate the move plugin and no pm's for will be send at all (for moved topics)

well i'm playing with an idea to add a "custom profile field" which would allow to choose between receiving a pm or an email.This could be possible throug a setting to some users hate private messages i did know that

will it be possible in future versions to not say "opened or closed" but instead say the action that was taken via conditionals ?

You've been porting some really great hacks. If you ever release so there's not a file modification, this will be a definite must for me to be installing. Thanks!

[Snake]

Thanks!

Hmm,

This doesn't work with the inline moderation tool though.

[IrPr]

is compatible with vBRecycle ?

[Delphiprogrammi]

Hmm,

true not yet but i think i'm adding this since the "inline mod" became a vb standard in the 3.5.x series

[Delphiprogrammi]

No it contains no special code to "deal" with any other hacks

[Floris]

This is pretty cool. Good idea and nice of you to write it out and share it with us. I will llook into this for my sites.

Ok newbie here....go gently on me... how do you edit the xml file?

my advice would be don't edit XML files directly what would you like to change ?

[cnprint]

it don't work on vb 3.54?

[Delphiprogrammi]

it don't work on vb 3.54?

i see no reason why it wouldn't work.Before you ask this does not work with the new "inlinemod" system and i doubt i will ever add that functionality because it can be "server sensitive" if you receives (send) allot of pm's

[stinger2]

nice hack ..thx

oh,because i use plugin_accelerator_RC3 hack,but after i rebuild the hack,your hack worked very well.sorry.
thanks.

The first time I installed this it failed, due I think to it being into an upgrade of a previously-hacked forum. It failed when it couldn't create table entries in settings or phrases, as they were already there. It didn't show as installed in the product manager at that point, so I couldn't delete it either. I had to go into phpmyadmin, and manually delete the tables it needed to create, but then it installed ok. It failed even with overwrite selected before that though.

I've not tried the template mods yet, but the basics seem good :) Thanks

oh , you can delete the relavant mysql query in the product-modautopm.xml ,
and import the product-modautopm.xml, there is ok.

just installed this on a test board 3.5.4...works fine

how ever .....if a thread has 10 posters........do they all get a PM when moderating the thread??

thanks ..click install

edit
\
only the thread starter gets the PM

great hack.....but would have been greater IF it was applied to POST as wel as THREAD

run this


DELETE FROM test_setting WHERE varname LIKE 'modpm_%';


that should remove the settings used by the hack

[stinger2]

thanks erik for your response
however after running that query...it kept hanging for about 10 minutes at 40%..and now i can NOT get in phpmyadmin.for a while then i loged in again...i did it twice.......and it keeps hanging..the website is still operational though...

would appreciate any help and thanks again
there is something else though
i can uninstall the product from local host which is a copy of the website...except the database is created with latin character while the live database is made with en-iso-8859-1 language set....

maybe this helps....
