Moderation Auto-PM v2.0.1

[Alan @ CIT]

Moderation Auto-PM
Version 2.0.1

What is it?
Moderation Auto-PM will automaticly send a Private Message to the user whenever their thread, post or attachment is moderated using the Thread Tools or Inline Moderation Tools.

It has support for the following types of moderation:

Thread: Move
Thread: Delete
Thread: Undelete
Thread: Stick
Thread: Unstick
Thread: Open
Thread: Close
Thread: Approve
Thread: Unapprove
Thread: Title Edit
Post: Edit
Post: Move
Post: Delete
Post: Undelete
Post: Approve
Post: Unapprove
Attachment: Approve
Attachment: UnapproveAll options can be turned on/off in the AdminCP. Moderation Auto-PM will not show the user where their thread is being moved to/from if they do not have permission to view the forum. You can also set a "master" exclude list of forum IDs that will never be touched by Moderation Auto-PM.

What's new in Version 2.0.1?

Added support for opening and closing threads by double-clicking on the thread icon
Fixed a bug caused by a missing phraseCredit for this release goes to ConqSoft, as he notice the missing phrase bug, and suggested the new Ajax open/close feature :)

What's new in Version 2.0?

Fully compatible with both vB 3.5.4 and vBulletin 3.6 Beta 2 or above! :banana:
Support for editing posts / titles using the ajax quick edit bits
Support for deleting posts via quick edit
Don't send a PM if you are moderating your own thread
Send a Delete PM instead of a Move PM if moved to a particular forum (ie, a recycle bin type forum)
Age Cutoff Point - if the item is over a certain age, a PM won't be sent
A couple of tiny bugfixes that no-one noticed :DHow do I install / configure it?
Please see the install.txt file contained within the zip.


How do I upgrade?
If you are upgrading from a previous version of this mod (any version), just upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones and re-import the Product XML, making sure you set "Allow Overwrite" to Yes.

If you are upgrading from PM on Thread Move, please uninstall that hack first, then install this one following the instructions in install.txt


Thanks go to redlabour for kindly providing a German translation for the phrases and to everyone who nominated this mod or voted for this mod in HotM June :)

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though :) See you all in early September! :D

nice...

/me installed..& testing..

[Yorixz]

Great work, I'll be installing this later this week, thanks a lot, I've been waiting for this!

[Ncturnal]

So I'm assuming we should uninstall the other mod?

[rob30UK]

Please can you supply instructions for migrating from the old mod, to this mod?

[DJ XtAzY]

awesome... this way users can now know why their threads are mysteriously gone

[Omranic]

Wow !

How Great Is this

I clicked Install & now I'll install it on my forums

Thanks very × very much

[Ncturnal]

Hmm, I got it installed but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

EDIT: Ok, the PM on thread move is the only part that seems to be working. Close, Sticky, Delete, etc. do not work. I previously had the PM on thread move hack installed, but I uninstalled it prior to installing this one. The install was fine, and the default Yes to all options are still set.

[rmxs]

Cool i click INSTALL

[Boofo]

I've been waiting for this. Good job! ;)

[thc]

thank

[Ncturnal]

So is this working ok for everyone else?

[tei727]

Nothing's happening for me either except for the moved.

[IrPr]

Alan Rocks!!

[Vitz]

I've been waiting a long time for this. Thanks!

[VaaKo]

excellent job!

[tei727]

Nothing's happening for me either except for the moved.

Is this happening to anyone else? The hack only working for moved threads?

[GoNz00]

u uninstalled the old hack 1st ?

The best hack ever. Should be part of vb. Thanks Alan!!

Simply,,,,,,YOU ROCK.

I would give all my hacks up in the sake of this hack. Wow I feel so existed.

[FleaBag]

In the words of Peter Griffin... "Freaking sweet!". Thanks Alan! :)

same thing here, except move posts does work.

[Ncturnal]

Ok, I figured out what it is. You have to have a at least one value in the block for excluded forums. Everything works once I put a valid forum ID there.

[Boofo]

What if you don't want to exclude any forums and which ones would you exclude?

[Ncturnal]

What if you don't want to exclude any forums and which ones would you exclude?

I didn't want to exclude any forums either. I tried putting in a zero, but that didn't work. Categories show up as a forum ID, so I put in one of those, which does work. So far, it doesn't seem to have affected any of the sub-forums in that category since they are all different forum IDs, and being a category, there are no posts/threads under it anyway, so it accomplished what I wanted.

[Boofo]

Ahh, ok, a work-a-round for now. Whatever it takes has always been my motto. Thanks! ;)

I got to thinking that maybe Staff forums could be excluded from this. ;)

[Dr.Viggy]

great hack.

Same Thing

Is there any sulotion

[Alan @ CIT]

For those having a problem with the exclude list, for now, just disable it by doing the following:

1: Open /includes/functions_autopm.php
2: Delete lines 48 - 54

I'll create a proper fix for it tonight.

Thanks,
Alan.

Great work Alan, we love it; especially the fact that you can specify the ID that the PMs originate from. We try to keep who the mods are under raps and this is a big help. :)

[Alan @ CIT]

Moderation Auto-PM v1.0.1 has been released!

This version fixes the bug with the exclude forums list.

To upgrade, please upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones. There is no need to re-import the Product XML.

Thanks,
Alan.

P.S: Thanks to everyone who's installed the mod so far, and thanks to everyone for their kind words! :)

[TheEDIGuy]

I'd like to install this, but for very large boards, I think it needs some additional work. Anyone feel like taking this on?

1) PM sender is the moderator who actually did the action (there's no way I'm having every pm come from me).

2) Option, somehow, to not send them, especially for post deletions. And I'd love to see that option restricted by usergroups. So, for example, admins could delete posts without sending pm's, and forum mods couldn't.

3) A phrased paragraph to include, for each type of action. For example, for deletions we'd want to include an explanation of why posts are commonly deleted, who to address in case of questions, and a link to our FAQ. For moves, something different, and so on.

Also, I'd be interested in hearing whether this sends a user a PM if they have their PM's turned off, especially if they have their "receive administrative notices" turned off. And also, what it does if the user's PM box is full.

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi,

1) PM sender is the moderator who actually did the action (there's no way I'm having every pm come from me).

That's the default setting with this mod :) If you don't specifiy a username, it sends it from the moderators.

2) Option, somehow, to not send them, especially for post deletions. And I'd love to see that option restricted by usergroups. So, for example, admins could delete posts without sending pm's, and forum mods couldn't.

Adding a "Send PM" popup is on the todo list for a later version - don't quote me on that though :)

3) A phrased paragraph to include, for each type of action. For example, for deletions we'd want to include an explanation of why posts are commonly deleted, who to address in case of questions, and a link to our FAQ. For moves, something different, and so on.

Each action / type is an individual phrase, so you could do that now just by editing the phrases.

Also, I'd be interested in hearing whether this sends a user a PM if they have their PM's turned off, especially if they have their "receive administrative notices" turned off. And also, what it does if the user's PM box is full.

The only time it doesn't send a PM is if PM's are globally turned off in the vB options. Other than that, it forces the PM through whether they have PM's turned off, or their inbox is full.

Edit: Actually, I'm not sure on that last part about forcing the PM through. It will force the PM through, but if they've got PM's turned off, I don't believe it will as they'll never see it. I'll have to test it and see.

Thanks,
Alan.

[TheEDIGuy]

Thanks, Alan. That helps a lot. If that pop-up did appear in a later version, you couldn't get me to click install fast enough :)

For now, I'm going to have to weigh the pros and cons, because we do a lot of small maintenance that we really don't want notices going out for.

umm does it work for soft deletes?
i don' seem to get any pm's for soft deleted threads

[Stop]

It works for all.
Works very fine after the update.
Thanks loads MR. No doubt it will be the hack of the month.

[Alan @ CIT]

umm does it work for soft deletes?

Yep, seems to work ok here.

Are you certain the forum you are deleting the thread in, isn't in the Exclude Forums list?

Also, does it do anything if you hard-delete the thread?

Thanks,
Alan.

[Harley77]

When moving a thread, if the thread is moved to a forum the user cannot see or access, does it still send them a PM showing where it was moved to?

[Alan @ CIT]

It will still send them a PM telling them the thread was moved, but does not tell them where it was moved to.

The same applies if they cannot see the forum the thread was in (ie, you moved it to an admin area, and are moving it back to public), it will tell them the destination forum, but not the forum it was in (the admin one).

Thanks,
Alan.

[Sidewindr]

Thanks for the update, I have uploaded it and will test later today :D

[Acers]

hi..
well thread soft delete works fine

in the posts both the soft and physically remove are not working, all are set to yes in admincp options.
i have no forums in excluded forums list

thanks for support m8 btw.. good job
(using 1.01 version although vb is 3.5.2 so maybe that can be the issue if yours working)

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi Acers,

Hmm.. I'm at a bit of a loss I'm afraid. All seems to be working ok here.

How are you deleting the posts? Are you selecting them with the tickbox then using the inline moderation menu to delete them? Or some other way?

Also, if you get a chance, could you check your AdminCP -> Plugins for me please, and check that you have one called:

Mod Auto-PM :: Inline :: Post :: Delete

This should be using the hook inlinemod_start. Are there any other plugins listed that use that hook?

Thanks,
Alan.

[Boofo]

Alan, is there a way to includes all the setting under one main setting group. It would be easier than going to 4 different settings group to set this up. Maybe like a main setting group and 4 setting groups under that. ;)

And excellent job, by the way. ;)

[Alan @ CIT]

That's how it was originally, but as I added more and more settings, it became unmanagable :)

All settings are by default set to yes, and in theory you should only have to visit each setting once, and that's only if you want to set it to No, so it shouldn't be too bad :D

[Boofo]

Maybe having them set to No as default would be better in case someone installed this and didn't do the settings right off the bat. I know when I installed it I had like a zillion IM windows open (I use Trillian) and was working on adding forums and threads on the site all at the same time. ;)

Also, I use Andreas' auto-moderation hack for posts. Will this send notices for any posts that hack sends to moderation? I would like to have the option for that, if at all possible, unless it already does it. Then that would make this request kind a moot. ;)

thats it.. no i am using the edit post method. the post i wanna delete.. click edit(opens the quick reply ajax based editor) then click delete)(soft delete) and it fails this way.

anyway the fix is to add this plugin also
(tested and working)

in hook location: editpost_delete_complete
add

if ($_POST['do'] == 'deletepost')
{
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'reason' => TYPE_STR
));

// Fetch posts
$post = $db->query_first("
SELECT post.postid, post.threadid, post.parentid, post.visible, post.title,
thread.forumid, thread.title AS thread_title, thread.postuserid, thread.firstpostid, thread.visible AS thread_visible
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread USING (threadid)
WHERE postid = $postid
");


include_once(DIR . '/includes/class_autopm_checker.php');
include_once(DIR . '/includes/class_autopm_parser.php');
include_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_autopm.php');

mod_autopm($postid, 'delete', 'post', $post['threadid'], 0, $vbulletin->GPC['reason']);

}

[Alan @ CIT]

Ahh, I see. It currently only has support for the Thread Tools menu, and the Inline Moderation dropdown. I'll see about adding support for other options in a future version.

Glad to see you've got it working though :)

Does this cover both hard-delete and soft-delete?

[Acers]

its covering only soft delete as of now.. thats cos i added it to delete_complete hook

you can add to editpost_delete_start
to cover for hard deletes also but then add the can_moderate checks also as it might..(i use the word might) happen that the pm might be sent when the actual deletion errors out due to say a permission prob.. highly unlikely but well on my board i give only soft delete permissions so i didn't take the chance.

but yeah inserting above code to editpost_delete_start should cover for both the soft and hard deletes :)

I'll stick with the way you are doing it then. I only want Admins to be able to hard delete on my site anyway, so we should be all set with your code. And thank you for posting it, sir. ;)

Not to sound ignorant here, but how do I set it so only Admins can hard-delete posts and threads? I don't think I've ever bothered with that before, to tell you the truth, or I don't remember dealing with it, anyway.

I've just looked at the code for the hack you mentioned, and there is no code in that hack that would stop this one working. The same is true of the code in my hack - it shouldn't stop that hack working.

As previously mentioned, this hack won't send a PM when the post is edited, whether that hack is installed or not I'm afraid.

We have an unusual setup for our board .... we have a deleted thread archive (which is just a subforum of one of our mod forums) that we toss many of our deleted threads (we mainly only delete threads that have gotten out of control) into. We tell the OP that their thread has been deleted, but it essentially only gets moved to another private forum. Is there a way to make threads that are moved to certain forums say that the thread has just been deleted, instead of moved?

[bada_bing]

How can I change the message to say from Forum Management to something else?

[Alan @ CIT]

How can I change the message to say from Forum Management to something else?

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi,

Is there a way to make threads that are moved to certain forums say that the thread has just been deleted, instead of moved?

Unfortunately, this cannot be done in it's current state.

The closest options there are at the moment, are the ability to totally exclude a forum. So if you moved the thread to your private sub-forum, a PM wouldn't be sent at all.

Or just the standard move option, where if the user cannot view the private sub-forum, it will tell them it's moved but not tell them where it's been moved to.

Many thanks,
Alan.

Any way to consolidate the four AdminCP Options into one long one? Or at least force them to be consecutive? For some reason they are scattered amongst my other options in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options, which is confusing.

They should technically be in order, but if other hacks are using the same "displayorder" as mine, then they'll get scattered. With debug mode turned on, you should be able to edit each setting group and change the display order to get them to display next to each other.

I re-installed the updated 1.02 version, but my question is, are we stuck having this installed because of all the automated PM's sitting in users PM boxes???

[Alan @ CIT]

Did all of the plugins get uninstalled as well? Sounds like the uninstall code was run as the language column was deleted, but the plugins didn't get uninstalled.

Give it another try and check that the plugins are removed correctly.

Sorry to hear you are uninstalling it btw, is there anything I can do to improve the product so that you would consider installing it again?

Thanks,
Alan.

[tommyxv]

I have every intent to keep using it. It is a great mod. :) I wasn't sure how to go from 1.0 to 1.02. The install instructions in the zip made no mention on how to upgrade. I figured the best way would be to just un-install the product from the admincp. Maybe the un-install code from v1.0 didn't work. I did have the 3 include files still on the server after i removed it.

I overwrote the old files with the news ones and then uploaded the 2.0 version. All seems normal now.

Thanks,

[Alan @ CIT]

Good stuff, glad to hear it's all working again :)

Apologies for not updating the install file, I'll remember to do that for the next version :)

Thanks,
Alan.

[redlabour]

Update to 1.0.2 and AdminCP Translations. :banana:

[IrPr]

one suggestion:

when someone is moderating his/her own thead/post no report needed.:)
bump :)

[redlabour]

bump :)

Agree !

[bada_bing]

Can you post how to upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 please

[redlabour]

Can you post how to upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 please


???? Just look above at the Download. There is your answer.

[bada_bing]

???? Just look above at the Download. There is your answer.
What do you mean? In the new version the readme.txt mentions nothing about how to upgrade and above it only talkes about upgrading from version 1.0 to 1.0.1

How do I upgrade?
If you are upgrading from v1.0 or v1.0.1 of this mod, just upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones. There is no need to re-import the Product XML.

[Boofo]

???? Just look above at the Download. There is your answer.

[redlabour]

The same Way works without Problems.

[bada_bing]

The same Way works without Problems.
So your saying just override the file and no need to upload the XML ?

[redlabour]

Does it make a Difference ? No.

So what did you have to do ?

Overwrite everything.

I still do not know why are you asking this for a simple Plugin and Filebased Hack like this.

[Boofo]

Not everyone is comfortable enough to know exactly how something works. ;)

[Keyser S?ze]

i tell u, would be really nice if it was set so if ur the one moving or deleteing or whatever a thread that u urself made, it dont PM u

i mean thats just a waste i got to delete a PM that is in my box cuz i moved my own thread ;p

[Alan @ CIT]

...from v1.0 or v1.0.1 of this mod...

In other words, it doesn't matter if you are upgrading from version 1.0 OR version 1.0.1, the upgrade instructions are the same - just upload the 3 PHP files :)

Also, the next version won't send a PM if it's your own thread/post/etc your moderating :)

Edit: I have changed the upgrade instructions in the first post which will hopefully prevent confusion

Thanks,
Alan.

[Keyser S?ze]

IMO its better to import the new product and overwrite it, may not change anything but it does change the version number

say 3 months from now ur just looking to see if anything is out of date, and u see u dont have the same version as the current one, (even tho u really do)

doent take but 15 secs

[home9000]

can you please add to send PM if the title of thread change

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi,

can you please add to send PM if the title of thread change

I will try to add that to a future release, no promises though :)

Thanks,
Alan.

[Eagle Creek]

Before I install:
Who is the sender of the PB?

I want to have a 'forum-bot' or an admin account to send all the PB's, not the individual mod.
Is that possible?

[Alan @ CIT]

Eagle: You can choose an account to send the messages from in the AdminCP Options. If left blank, it will be sent from the moderator who altered the thread.

Thanks,
Alan.

Any plans to port this for 3.6? Could you let us know when it's been fully tested on 3.6? It's not something I want to lose on upgrade.

[Alan @ CIT]

With regards to v3.6 Beta 1, I will be installing 3.6 tonight and testing all of my mods.

I will post the results this evening.

Many thanks,

[stinger2]

great hack alan....one question before upgrading...
should i delete the changes made in version 1.0??
i mean the ones in hooks_vbulletin.xml and postings.php

instructions for edit / delete thread
-----------------------------------------------------
open $vbuletinroot/includes/xml/hooks_vbulletin.xml
[find]
<hook>threadmanage_complete</hook>
[add below]
<hook>threadmanage_editthread</hook>
<hook>threadmanage_deletethread</hook>

open $vbulletinroot/postings.php
[find]
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_editthread' ));

just above his

add

($hook=vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadmanage_edi tthread'))? eval($hook) : false;

find

eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_deletethrea d'));

just above this

($hook=vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadmanage_del etethread'))? eval ($hook) : false;

[redlabour]

Will it work in the Future with vBulletin 3.6 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187654) ?

[Alan @ CIT]

Redlabour: See above, I'll be testing it tonight when I install 3.6 :)

[Alan @ CIT]

Is this mod compatible with vBulletin 3.6 Beta 1?

Unfortunately, due to a bug in vBulletin 3.6 Beta 1 which prevents mods using their own phrasegroups, this mod will NOT work with vBulletin 3.6 Beta 1.

This mod will be updated when vBulletin 3.6 Beta 2 is released :)

Thanks,
Alan.

[redlabour]

I have a small Problem. Two of my Users tells me today that they get a "Deleted" PM but the Threads are only "moved" from one Forum into another one.

Anyone has the same ?

[Alan @ CIT]

Redlabour: Does this happen to you if you move one of your own threads? If so, then it's likely a problem with the phrases - check to make sure that the move phrase doesn't have "delete" text in it.

If the phrases are fine, then I suspect the users may be mistaken, or mixing up their PMs as it would happen for everyone on your forum rather than just a few users.

Let me know how you get on :)

Thanks,
Alan.

[redlabour]

The Phrases are fine - but i get the same Problem sometimes. Hmmm....

[dookie]

Love this hack, thank you! :)

[Boofo]

Any word on the version that won't send PMs to you if you are the person who started the thread?

[Alan @ CIT]

The next version of the hack will be released shortly after vBulletin v3.6 Beta 2 is released. :)

Thanks,
Alan.

[Sir_Yaro]

Hi.
When I move thread from one forum to another on redirection screen ("The thread has been successfully moved / copied. You will now be returned to the thread.") php code appears above this window:

>input->clean($items_a, TYPE_ARRAY_STR); return true; } /** * Returns the parsed phrase text * * @return char */ function get_phrasetext_parsed() { return $this->vbulletin->input->clean($this->phrasetext_parsed, TYPE_STR); } } ?>

It looks like this "bug" doesn't do anything wrong but it's still must be removed. I'm afraid that is some typo somewhere or sth. I found it in class_autopm_parser.php

Could you tell me to fix that bug ?

[Alan @ CIT]

I've never seen this before, and am unable to reproduce it here. I can't see how it could happen if I'm honest, but I would take a guess that it's a problem with your webserver.

What webserver (Apache, IIS, etc) and version are you running? Also, what version of PHP are you running?

Also, if you could take a screenshot when it happens or set me up an account on your forum so I can see it in action it would help a lot.

Thanks,
Alan.

[Sir_Yaro]

information about server I've sent via PM

[Boofo]

The next version of the hack will be released shortly after vBulletin v3.6 Beta 2 is released. :)

Thanks,
Alan.

But will it work on 3.5.4. still as that is where a lot of use will be until it goes at least RC 3 or better, maybe even gold.

[Alan @ CIT]

Boofo: Yes, it will still work on vB 3.5.x

Sir_Yaro: Do you use any accelarators on your server? Zend, eAccelarator, etc?

Thanks,
Alan.

[Sir_Yaro]

i'm not shure, server isn't mine. but in this link with server information you can find zend logo. so I suppose i do....

[user02934123123]

The next version of the hack will be released shortly after vBulletin v3.6 Beta 2 is released. :)

I'm very happy to hear this, since I was having the same problems as others, when I yesterday attempted a fresh install of the hack on my vB 3.6b1 test board. Namely:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0 Beta 1:

Invalid SQL:

INSERT IGNORE INTO phrasetype
(fieldname, title, editrows, product)

I look forward to the new release of the hack. It's one of the more useful I employ on my system.

[Eagle Creek]

Can I exclude a forum of sending the PM's?

[Alan @ CIT]

Eagle Creek: Yes, it's in the Moderation Auto-PM - General Options settings in the AdminCP.

Thanks,
Alan.

[peterska2]

doesn't work on 3.6 here either. same error as above.

[WolfsongNevan]

I know this was discussed earlier, but I don't remember seeing a definitive answer ....

Will it be possible for a PM to be sent if a reply was edited or deleted in a future update, perhaps?

Also, I would love to see an option for the PM to say that a thread has been deleted, even if it's only been moved ... I gave my board scenario earlier about having a deleted thread archive, and the PM states it's been moved, when we would like it to say deleted.

LOVE this mod. It really helps on our board because a lot of our staff are friendly with the members, and it saves the mods from having to be the "bad guy" with their friends. :) Also saves staff from looking like they're picking on certain members who can't seem to follow the posting rules. ;) Thanks so much!!

[ConqSoft]

Hmm. I have all the options set to Yes, but it didn't send a PM on a Post deletion. (Thread moves/deletes work fine.)

Anyone else?

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi,

I will add this into a future version. It may not be the next version however.

This will be included in a future version.

Hmm. I have all the options set to Yes, but it didn't send a PM on a Post deletion. (Thread moves/deletes work fine.)

Working ok here. Is the Post :: Delete plugin enabled, and do you have any other plugins using the same hook? Also, are you sure that the forum the post is in isn't in your exclude list?

(I don't have any exclusions.)

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi ConqSoft (use to play a game called Conquer btw, about 10 years ago - fantastic game)

How are you deleting the post? (ie, Inline moderation tools, editing the post and picking delete, modcp or some other way?

Thanks,
Alan.

[ConqSoft]

I used the Edit -> Delete option this particular time.

[Alan @ CIT]

Ahh, it doesn't support that (yet) :)

Try deleting a post by ticking the box and using the Inline Mod dropdown menu - see if that works.

Edit -> Delete will (well, may) be in a future version.

Thanks,
Alan.

[ConqSoft]

Ahh, ok. Thanks!

Hi all,

If you have any feature requests that you'd like to see in the next version, now is the time to tell me :)

The list so far is

* vBulletin 3.6 Support
* Support for editing posts / titles using the ajax quick edit bits
* Support for deleting posts via quick edit
* Don't send a PM if you are moderating your own thread
* Send PM on merge
* Send a Delete PM instead of a Move PM if moved to a particular forum (ie, a recycle bin type forum)

Anyone got anything they wish to add to this list?

Thanks,
Alan.

I'm pretty much lazy so I don't have the patience to read through twelve pages sorry if this question has been asked!:classic:

Everything seems to be working fine, this truly is a GR8 install for Vb3.x. What I don't get is when you delete a post from a thread, you do get the PM letting you know a post has been deleted but it doesn't tell you what forum it was deleted from. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[Alan @ CIT]

It's not designed to give the forum name for post deletes unfortunately :)

It just gives the post ID and the thread that it was in:

Post ID: {item_name}
Thread: {source_name} ({forum_url}/showthread.php?t={source_id})
Reason: {reason}

Alan.

If the previous version worked ok on 3.5.3, then this one should.

The easiest way to test it is to install it, if it doesn't work, just un-install it and re-install the previous version - installation only takes a few seconds :)

Whoo-hoo, thanks! Both of my requests were added to the new features. I have one other request .... the ability to NOT send a PM when performing a moderation (for whatever reason). ;)

This is one of my favorite hacks ... thanks so much!!

[home9000]

Am I missing something? If you disable AJAX on your forum then you're not able to edit posts/titles using the AJAX quick edit bits... therefore this mod wouldn't have anything to Auto-PM.

[WolfsongNevan]

I'm confused about how I would change the PM to say the thread was deleted instead of moved, when it's being moved to one specific forum (a deleted thread archive) .... can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm guessing it needs to be done in Phrases, but I'm seeing where I can change it for only one forum.

I used AJAX to edit a thread title (double-click) and the user wasn't notified. (All options are set to Yes.)

(edit: ignore the bit about options, just re-read your post :))

[ConqSoft]

Nope, wasn't my own....

[Amaranth]

Is it possible to create "PMs" as threads in a moderator forum, instead of sending them to a user? If not, is this a functionality you would consider implementing? This would make a really nice way for moderators to keep track of what's going on, and what users are causing trouble.

[Alan @ CIT]

Just wanted to add that I closed a thread using AJAX (double-clicked the thread status icon) and no notification was sent either.

It doesn't support that feature, as I forgot all about it :D

The non-sending on title change is due to a missing phrase. I assigned the phrase to the wrong product on my development board :o

I'll fix it now, and see about adding support for the double-clicking of thread icons to send a PM at the same time :)

Thanks,
Alan.

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi all,

Moderation Auto-PM 2.0.1 has been released :)

What's Changed:

* Added support for opening and closing threads by double-clicking on the thread icon
* Fixed a bug caused by a missing phrase

Credit for this release goes to ConqSoft, as he notice the missing phrase bug, and suggested the new Ajax open/close feature :)

As usual, any problems, comments, questions or suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Alan.

[ConqSoft]

Thanks for the update!

[COBRAws]

When the PM is sent, and the option "email me when a new PM arrives" is ON, the email says "Moderator A sent you a PM" and when you read the PM the author is Moderator B.

Ill explain:
I have set so all PMs are sent thru a general sender. But emails show the real moderator.

Another thing I would like is, avoid sending those emails when an "Moderation Auto-PM" PM is send.

So far so good!

[Stop]

Great Update Alan @ CIT. I'm impressed.

Send a Delete PM instead of a Move PM if moved to a particular forum (ie, a recycle bin type forum)

And can I mention the reason here? coz when moving a thread you can't add a reason.

[redlabour]

New Phrases for german Users.

Attention - some changes :

1. "Threads" and "Postings" now named for User GUI "Themen" & "Beitr?ge".

2. Every Bug in Translation is now fixed and some missing parts are now corrected ! ;)

[Amaranth]

It would be great if you could respond to my previous post regarding posting moderation notices as threads, instead of just PMs. Or, to give moderators a shared PM account perhaps?

Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 7.
Still Unread is zero .

the previus version was OK

[ConqSoft]

Hey, I noticed that too. :)

By the way, this definately should make it into the running for Hack of the Month

[Alan @ CIT]

Nothing has changed between this versoin and the previous version with regards to the sending on PMs :)

What versions of vBulletin are you running?

By the way, this definately should make it into the running for Hack of the Month It was in last months HotM, and is in this months :)

Thanks,

[ConqSoft]

I'm on v3.5.4.

[q8manar]

Just for clearefacation
I'm using now Moderation Auto-PM v2.0
the Moderation Auto-PM v 1.0.1 was OK

[xlguy]

One question
What happens if a user doesn't have PM enabled?

Issues
The e-mail notification shows the moderator's name rather than generic user.
If your recycle bin forum is hidden it doesn't send them the deleted topic message (or is this because I have one click move, if so can I add it to that?)

[mtha]

just got bad luck or something, this one just doesnt work for me.
vb 3.5.4, I uploaded the files and import product. No PM is sent out with post delete/move, thread move/close/delete .... at all. havent try all the functions yet, but none that I tested is working right now. Do you have any idea Alan

[ConqSoft]

Did you turn on all the option in the AdminCP -> vBulletin Options?

[Alan @ CIT]

And are you certain your not testing it on your own thread/post/attachment? If you are the author, it won't send a PM :)

Thanks,
Alan.

i haven't tried yet because i'm at work, but would there be any expected problems if the PM's were set up to be sent by a user that had their PM abilities turned off? i was thinking about setting up a BOT account to which users would not be able to reply to the auto-PM's.

Yes. I turn off at first, and only leave the options I want, it didnt work. Then I turn back on all the options, it still doesnt work.


And are you certain your not testing it on your own thread/post/attachment? If you are the author, it won't send a PM :)


I have two accounts, login in two browsers (on the same computer), and test on eachother's post/thread. it doesnt seem to work. Dont know if after installation, I need to setup anything else? any permission need to turn on (not by default)?

[Alan @ CIT]

mtha,

If you can set me up an Admin logon on your forum, I will take a look for you :)

Thanks,
Alan.

[user02934123123]

problem with this version only

when the PM sent to user ,
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 7.
Still Unread is zero .

the previus version was OK

I can confirm that this is happening on my system as well, running the latest version of the hack on vB 3.6 Release Candidate 1. I've just set up the test scenario and tested it myself:

BUG DETAILS:

1) Create a non-moderator / normal user account.

2) Sign in as this normal user, navigate to a forum that moderates posts/threads, and make a series of three or four posts in that thread.

3) Log out, and log back in, this time as a moderator.

4) Approve / delete the various posts.

5) Log out, log back in as the normal user. What you'll discover is that the standard vB pop-up dialogue box for a new PM appears (if you have it configured to do so), informing you that you have a new PM; and you'll notice that the 'unread' PM count in the userinfo area reads '1' -- even though, if you go to the PM interface, you'll see that you have quite a few from the Moderation-PM system. Read the first PM, and the count of unread PMs will drop to '0', even though you've remaining unread PMs in your box.

[Alan @ CIT]

I'll see if I can recreate this bug tonight.

This mod is great, and my members gave it a warm reception. Some had been complaining that unknown moderators changed and deleted their posts, and they weren't told why or by whom - something this mod is perfect to remedy! Everyone is more happy now.

One great addition to this mod would be a moderation report generator. Who has moderated what thread, when and why. This could be accomplished by making a shared PM account for moderators - or even having a forum that contains threads of the different PMs that are sent out.

Thanks alot for this, it works like a charm! :)

I installed this mod and it basically broke some moderation abilities (move/delete I tested, possibly more). When I try to moderate a thread it goes to the blank white screen?

I'm running vB3.5.4 and no previous mod. Any help appreciated

[Alan @ CIT]

Vindicator: Try turning off GZip Page Compression in vBulletin Options. That should give you an error message, rather than a blank page.

Thanks,
Alan.

[Vindicator]

Thanks for the quick response. GZip is already off.

[Alan @ CIT]

Have you got ANY other mods installed at all? Even ones that don't relate to moderation functions?

Thanks,
Alan.

[Vindicator]

Yes, I have a number of mods installed. Please see PM

[Biggles LLB]

Fantastic idea. Many thanks. Have clicked install and will do so this evening. Cheers.

[Vindicator]

Alan is a top bloke and helped me loads finding my issue with this mod. Turns out there were no issues with the hack, SELinux was causing the problem!!

Thanks again buddy. I owe you

[Mudvayne]

Nice hack :D..

* Mudvayne clicks install!

[Al-Fateh]

this is the best of them all , thanks

[Mudvayne]

Atakan.. Can you make it work for marge thread & post?

[Oblivion Knight]

A suggestion that my users are asking for;


If several posts within a thread by a single user are moderated via inline moderation, combine the PM. For example:

"Dear {X},

Your following posts within the thread {Y} have been {Z}.
Post #145
Post #168
Post #199This is an automatic message, please do not reply"


Do you think this will be possible in a future version, Alan?

[tpzone]

installed.. thank you.

[jluerken]

just got bad luck or something, this one just doesnt work for me.
vb 3.5.4, I uploaded the files and import product. No PM is sent out with post delete/move, thread move/close/delete .... at all. havent try all the functions yet, but none that I tested is working right now. Do you have any idea Alan

I have the same with vB 3.6 gold.
mtha do you use vBSEO?

[ConqSoft]

FYI, I use this plugin with vBSEO without any issues.
