Ban Users From a Thread

[AcidX]

Ban Users From A Thread
(Keep users out of a particular thread)




Summary:

Allows Administrators/Supermods to ban a user from a particular thread.
Most useful if you have a "flame started" and you dont want to lock the entire thread or ban the user entirely - just keep them out of the thread!

This mod was originaly created by Trigunflame for vb 3.5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=109416), but since the developer hasn't been online and updated his mod since 2006, I've decided to publish this port for 3.6 (thanks beano33)! I've tested it on 3.6.4 and 3.6.7 - and it works perfectly.


Features:

1. Allows Banning users from a particular thread.
2. This mod can be used if user has SuperModerator or higher permissions.
3. Cannot ban Mods/Supermods/Admins.
4. Can clear all bans in a particular thread, or bans from All threads.
5. Can ban/unban user from a single menu when clicking their username.
6. Page to display Forum Wide Thread Bans.


Instructions:

1. Download the .zip file
2. Read the guide in the README.txt document
3. Click Install if you like the mod :)


Support:

I will offer as much support as I can for all of you that installed this mod.
Please do not PM me for support, and state your question in this thread.

[apiasto]

will give it a try , nice idea thnx.

They can still read it by logging out right? Just not post in it?

[AcidX]

They can still read it by logging out right? Just not post in it?
Yes, they can read it when they're not logged it.

Exactly the same as banned users. They can read every forum/thread depending on the permissions in their usergroup or the forum permissions - when they're not logged in. Only IP address bans can prevent someone from reading the entire content on your form.

Using this mod you can ban your member's username/userid from the specific thread. So, that way, they won't be able post in the particular thread, nor access it while logged in. There's no other way to limit someone's access from a thread. This is exactly what forum administrators want ;)

[Subah]

Cool, Thanks

[FreshFroot]

finally.. someone fixes the hack!! thanks so much mate!!

[Taios]

Hey,
I installed the mod however am having some difficulties.

In the 'Thread tools' what is in the screenshot appears. However when i click the username, it does not say 'Ban user from thread' :(.

I installed the product and then i did the template edits :).

Any help is appreciated

- Thanksyou

[aj8690]

This is great. Is there any way to make it so normal moderators can do this in their assigned forums, too?

You probably missed step #3 from the installation manual:
- Open BOTH templates posbit and postbit_legacy;
- FIND:
<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>
- Bellow that code, add the following:
<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
<if condition="!isset($btu[$post[threadid]][$post[userid]])">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_ban]</a></td></tr>
<else />
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_unban]</a></td></tr>
</if>
</if>
Make sure you edit both templates. It will surely work. ;)

This is great. Is there any way to make it so normal moderators can do this in their assigned forums, too?Not yet, but probably will soon.

[Code Monkey]

Maybe add a temp ban as well.

How do I use it? Do I right-click on the flamers name and something will come up and click ban or do I just go to the user options menu?

[AcidX]

How do I use it? Do I right-click on the flamers name and something will come up and click ban or do I just go to the user options menu?
Just click on your member's usernames (not avatars) while reading the specific thread.

You will notice the following options in the drop-down menu:
- View Public Profile
- Send a private message to [member]
- Find all posts by [member]
- Add [member] to Your Buddy List
- Ban User from Thread

Choose "Ban User from Thread" and Whoala!

If you wish to unban the member, either click it's username again and choose "Unban User from Thread", or click Thread tools and choose to: Clear this threads bans, Clear every threads bans, or - View all threads bans.

[SuperTaz]

Doesn't show and I did everything right. Will it conflict with other mods on my site?

[Magnumutz]

This is exactly what Coders Shack was looking for.

[projectego]

/me clicks install

[Snake]

Thanks for this. It might come in handy. =]

[SuperTaz]

In your zip file it says open one template OR the other. Not both. You should change that if that is what you meant. But it works now, so thanks.

See Here is what it says on your readme document.


3. Open your styles "posbit" or "postbit_legacy" template, whichever you use.
- Find near the bottom of the template:

<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>

- Below that, add:

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
<if condition="!isset($btu[$post[threadid]][$post[userid]])">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_ban]</a></td></tr>
<else />
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_unban]</a></td></tr>
</if>
</if>

[AcidX]

I'm glad it works now ;)

It also says: "whichever you use".
But since most people don't really know which template to edit, I'll change the readme document.

Thanks.

[sola]

Is there any way to make it so normal moderators can do this in their assigned forums, too?The limitation of the original is still the limitation of the revised version, it seems. Mods actually need this more than Admins. Mods are always on the site, not the Admins. Oh well, shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth...

[SuperTaz]

Thanks man. I just wanted to give you a heads up on that. You had me confused. :)

[Muellmann]

Awesome hack indeed clicked install now. :up:

[Milad]

Some edits can be done via the new template hooks

also

for the plugins newreply_start, threadmanage_start and showthread_getinfo, it's better to use init_startup
$datastore_fetch[] = "'btu'";
And then, in next hooks, use $vbulletin->btu

By doing that, you'll optimize the hack and save three unnecessary queries.

[Alteran Ancient]

I would love to see the ability to ban people (or even usergroups (doesn't matter ATM)) from threads without needing them to post first. What if you don't want them to see the thread in the first place? It would be nice to either have a dialogue where you enter the specific user's userid, or go to their profile page and ban them that way.

At this time, the mod's benefit is that it only installs with a Product file; not seperate .php files.

[Censtudios]

I installed this and when I use quickreply, no matter how long my quickreply is, it keeps saying I need to insert at least 10 characters.

I had a hard time finding out where it came from and it was this hack!

I dont know what happened, but its annoying, good hack, but shame for the bugs. uninstalled

now my whole forum is screwed up, thanks a lot!

There are over 50 installs of this hack and one is mine and nobody seems to be having this problem. Maybe you need to uninstall and reinstall hack.

Just disable/uninstall the mod and see if it's working that way.
Really, this mod shouldn't affect your forum posting abilities in any way, especially not the quick editor. It's probably just a coincidence. Have you installed any other mods that day?

[question?]

good mod

[question?]

I've changed the postbit ban, to not allow user group 6:

<if condition="($show['btu_canban']) AND ($post['usergroupid'] != 6)">

and only allowed admins to clear ALL bans:


<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
<div><label for="ao_btu"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btu" value="btu_clear" />$vbphrase[btu_clear]</label></div>
<if condition="$usergroupid == 6"><div><label for="ao_btua"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btua" value="btu_clear_all" />$vbphrase[btu_clear_all]</label></div></if>
<div><label for="ao_btuv"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btuv" value="btu_view_all" />$vbphrase[btu_view_all]</label></div>
</if>

A great hack. I had to use it once already. lol

Thank you AcidX

nice to see a fully working version of this :D

[LadyBeth]

Question....does this upset them and do they then make alternate threads? This is problem we have seen when trying to ...cool down people. Infractions can be an issue too. How is this working for people?

[AcidX]

It's working as it should be.

If members get "upset" because you banned them from a specific thread and start flooding with alternate threads - why not ban them from the entire forum? LadyBeth, you obviously don't have much experience administrating/moderating large boards.

[LadyBeth]

I do have experience with a fairly large forum, and I just don't want to ban everyone who gets cabin fever. I was just asking if anyone had a backlash from this, that's all.

[Julrou]

Hi, guys ! :)

Could ameliorate your hack to enable mods to ban user from a thread ?

It could be excellent ! ;)


Thanks,

Jul

[Foxtrotelite]

Is there a way to allow admins to ban mods from threads?

[Julrou]

In fact, it would great if we could be able to select which groups can ban user from a thread, and which group can be banned.
:up:


:)

[Julrou]

Oh no !!

I don't know what i've done, but now, when i try to ban a user from a tread, i've this message (in french) : "action sp?cifi? non valide", which signify "specified action non-valid".

I don't give a damn the action isn't valid !! :o

What should i do to repair this ?

Thanks a lot for your answers

Best regards

[ABMAC]

I'm also getting the "invalid action" error. Did 3.6.8 break this mod?

[MiahBeSmokin420]

ok i got a dumb ass problem with this

anyone can probally answer this

when i click the user name it just takes me to there profile

is there a setting that will allow that to be disabled?

i tried lookin but didnt see anything

but like i said its a dumb problem

any help would be great

once again the problem is when i click there user name it take me strait to the profile not showing any list

[lostgirl815]

Are you clicking on their name in the post itself? That's what I did - and I get the dropdown list with ban-from-thread included.

[MiahBeSmokin420]

nope sorry i fixed it

i had removed the <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]"> tag out of post bit legacy a while back and for got to add it back in

This mod works great and highly recomend it to everyone

**Clicked Installed**

[ninjamaster]

can anyone tell me if it works on vb 3,6,8 ?

[subnet_rx]

This is an interesting mod, but I have a question. Does installing this mean that every time someone clicks on a post, the server has to check to see if they are banned from the thread?

[SnowBot]

How do I use it? Do I right-click on the flamers name and something will come up and click ban or do I just go to the user options menu?

Just go to the username and click it, it will apear :)

great addon, i was just about to start a mod like this, saved me the time big THANKS.

[fixer]

it is cool
thanks for the hack

but what about giving the thread starter the ability to ban specific member from posting in his thread.

is this possible??

as you know, when anyone starts a thread wants to see a lot of replys regarding the subject that he wrote about. so, he can use this feature if someone try to (what is the word :confused:, I AM SO BAD IN ENGLISH :mad: ) lets say destroy ( :D looooooooool) his thread.

[i.s.s.w]

No, doesn't work yet on vb 3.6.8


it is cool but i need ban user on thread
without loging in my admincp !
:)

[AcidX]

Sorry guys, since I don't have the license to install 3.6.8 - I won't be able to fix it in a while.
Everyone is welcomed to help. I'd be grateful if someone fixes the issues with 3.6.8... If you have coding abilities, a fresh vbulletin installation, and some spare time for tests - be my guest. ;)

[AdeptusAstartes]

it works on 3.6.8 for me, :confused:

Yeah I have no worries with this mod on my 3.6.8 board...

Its a good mod cheers...

Hi,

[AcidX]

Yes, of course.

[mgurain]

Very good mod AcidX.
Can you make the installation easier by making the tamplate changes also in the product?
because now we need to update every style templates!

[JamesUK]

Hi,
we've been using this for a while and it works great, thanks a lot :)

I have a couple of requests:

We have recently changed the location of the modcp folder following a security breach..... is there an easy way I can change the location this mod is pointing to?

We almost always ban people permanently, cos 99% is just spam rubbish. Is there a way I can set the ban to permanent as default, so we don't have to click the drop down box each time?

[Julrou]

Is there a way to update it to VB 3.6.8 ?
:)

[AllenSam]

I have it on 3.6.8 and it works fine...

Any mod out there that allows a thread to only be visible/postable by a specific usergroup(s).
I'd like to have certain threads in a forum require a higher userlevel for someone to even read the thread.

Beautiful! Works on 3.6.8 for me. Any update on allowing the moderators access?

Thanks,

[kiril_cvetkov]

Good work Marjan, works fine :) ;)

[scoobasteve]

Is there a way we could give the ability to ban a user from a thread to the Thread Author as well?

That'd be very useful...

[Bubble #5]

Any update on this? :confused: Does it work on 3.7? :confused: Hopefully it does, as this is a great hack to have on every forum :)

[choccyclaire]

I had this on 3.6.8 and it worked, then I needed to uninstall it to do something. Now I have reinstalled it and it says

Invalid Action Specified

I find that odd, it worked and now doesn't?

[Skyrider]

I hope someone can help me with this as I'm new with installing addons. Within (ShowThread) I cannot find any "<if condition="$show['openclose']" and I only have 1 showthread file. And I also can't find any "posbit" & "postbit_legacy" templates files.

[bc3tech]

i'd like to see this linked to usergroups to give permission to moderators to do the same thing. not just super mods / admins.

For some reason I can't edit Polls with from the Thread Tools menu in 3.6.9, the option disappeared after I uninstalled and now it only shows in the upper right corner of the Poll and not in the Thread Tools menu :/.

You might want to try reverting your SHOWTHREAD template and then adding the ban thread condition.

[Sanctorum]

I added the mod again, cleared all bans and the option still isn't in the Thread Tools, but only on the top right corner of the Poll. Oh well, maybe the Edit Polls option will be fixed when I upgrade to 3.7? The odd thing was, was when the option was present, I tried to edit a poll and it said "Invalid Option", I uninstalled and that's when the option disappeared.

[OLDrCF]

Interesting mod, have it up and running ok :)

Just wondering, is it possible to sorta do the reverse, give usergroups access to a thread (read & write) in a forum they would usually not have access too?

3.7?

Ok ive just tried installing this on 3.7.0 each time i try banning somebody it says.

"Unbanned user from thread"

[centralss]

it bans but doesn't show uban user from thread when you want to unban them!!

[centralss]

ok found something. I have to click ban user from thread twice, THEN is bans. After I go back to the user pop up, it shows unban user from thread, but I have to click it twice. (first time says banned user from thread, 2nd click says unbanned user from thread)

So any ideas on why I have to click it twice for banning and unbanning?

[MorrisMcD]

I decided that I was going to try out the ban via post hack instead.. Well. I didnt want to lose the bans I performed with this hack.. So I removed the uninstall code from the product before uninstalling.. Not the db tables and such are still there I guess.. I didnt like the other one as much so I decided to come back.. But now I cant install the product without removing the tables.. is there anything I can do to get the product back and maintain the existing data?

[CP,]

Hi ive discovered this works with 3.7.1 now... but only the admin can ban from thread not the moderators.. anybody know how we can make this work for moderators please... ive been trying to assign a moderator permission but it dosent work.

[Konstantinos]

i wanted to be able to see who is banned in the postbit and to ban/unban from the icon images. so in postbit_legacy

$post[iplogged]

after i added

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
<if condition="!isset($btu[$post[threadid]][$post[userid]])"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadban.png" alt="$vbphrase[btu_ban]" border="0" /></a>

whould be nice if u could add some more stuff like ban reason . auto unban , send auto pm to banned user etc

[AcidX]

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183183" target="_blank">Here's the 3.7 version</a>.
I've added the option to ban through the icons too. Many thanks Konstantinos!

I'm currently working on an improved version. Here's the to-do list:

- Allow Mods/Supermods to use thread bans [optional];
- Time ban [hours, days, weeks...];
- Display ban reason when user tries to enter thread;
- Notification for banned users via PM.

If you have any more ideas, don't hesitate to share them with me.

[Konstantinos]

those options are cool. hope u implement them without file edits (as the other mod) . maybe an option to display which mod did the ban to avoid confusion whould be cool too.

Great !
Thanks, i'll test it on my board soon.

I'll also see if i can do something to allow mods to ban from a thread.

Hey, I'd like only Admins and Super Mods to be "safe" from this thread banning. We have a lot of moderators on our forums (clan forums, mods for every clan section) so many people have the immunity now. I want so that normal moderatos can be banned too.

I can edit the files by myself, just need help what to edit. ;)

Does this work for 3.7?

This is something I'd like to know too. I searched for it in the code, but it seems like a bnaklet "Can moderate?" conditional, thus making exempting regular mods from its protection difficult, and more than I can do on my own.

Don't work correctly with 3.8. Problems when User edited post's

Works fine on 3.8.1

[user 1-2-3]

I have a little bit different task: I want to make some threads on forum visible only by specified users. I understand, that I can use this mod for this purpose, but I want make it as simple as possible in order to avoid any conflicts with the newer versions of vB.

The system should work as follow: users enter data to a 3rd party application and this application generate a vB thread and grant access to it only for users, who've contributed the data (according to the usernames).

Any help and ideas will be appreciated. :)

I was wondering if anyone knows if a hack that allows smods and admins to ban users from a specific forum? Example is if I see an issue with a member that is abusing the selling forums I want to ban him form that forum for a specific date/time range.

thanks

There is a vB4 version here:

Ban Users From a Thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=259017)

I don't know if it works with vB4.2.x. :)
