Hi Dismounted

Thank you was looking for something like this :D

The only problem is I cannot get this to work with postbit_legacy the icon does not show even in the default style.

I have already selected a forum for the reports to go to.

Thanks for any help :)

Does this mod helps users to report bad posts to admin or moderator???

[cheat-master30]

I am really going to add this, after some abuse in PMs recently. Plus, this should be a default feature by now in at least one piece of forum software...

[youryogi.com]

Good release and I wish this was a standard in a stock vbulletin setup.

[COBRAws]

This should be default

vB 4? =D

Agree, this should be a STANDARD feature in vB... :up:

Very nice!
Thanx so much - I was actually asking about/requesting this modification on vBFaq
Thanx again - works perfectly

[Seb@]

how see what user send the PM?

[Eric]

Nice.

I wrote this same mod for vB 3.0.x a few months ago for a forum I moderate - knew it'd only be a matter of time before someone did it for 3.6 :)

[Knippschild]

Great! I like this.

I have one suggestion though. Since I don't/won't have a PM reader, I can't see the sender. Perhaps you can optionally have a "private" mode disabled where it shows the sender of the PM. I mean, I can go to PHPmyAdmin and look up the sender ID, and then look up the owner of that sender ID.. but the question is.. should I have to?

Also, if you look at your own messages in the sent box, you can report your own PMs... that looks like it'll be prone to "I'm bored" abuse.

Other than that, it's awesome.

It's intended to be that way, sending an email out is really no use in my opinion. So it's not a bug.

That is a default feature of vBulletin.

Very nice mod.
Thanks. :)

[subnet_rx]

Thanks for adding the pm sender to the mod, I was starting to work on this this morning and just clicked this link to see if you had tried it.

Note to myself: :rolleyes: 'Wait 2 days after release, for the upgrade'

[sinaluna]

Great mod. Thanks!

[RvG2]

LOL - but is a FABULOUS modification!

Thanx again for the share DISMOUNTED

Jacquii.

[Rich]

This is a very useful modification. I have had my users physically send me any "silent advertising" new members have attempted using the PM system. This simplifies the process and should help me erradicate those losers using my site to advertise theirs. I like modifications like this. Thanks for sharing it! (I never even thought of writing something like this for my site. lol)

[Subah]

Cool , Thanks :)

thanks for this, a really helpful mod
*clicks install*

[ZapFlash]

thank you, already got it working :)

[0tolerance]

This is a brilliant modification for my forum, it being a support side.
And the option of being able to report abusive PM's is awesome

[Alfa1]

please delete this post. sorry.

[Brew]

Just a note to say that this was about the easiest mod I've installed in vB. (ver3.6.8)

Import it, create a forum and it works.

No mess, no fuss.

Good job.

[Handbag]

I'd love to have something similar for the user profile page. How easy would it be to do do you think?

[Dismounted]

Reporting user profiles?

[cheat-master30]

Reporting user profiles?

Maybe he has problems with users putting offensive information? Or profile pictures? Or other abuse with CSS (using a profile modification that allows it)?

[Handbag]

We've modified our user profiles to be more social networked - just a template change or two and some extra fields.

So yes, people can upload dodgy profile pics and put in content that breaks our terms of use in the text fields. I'd like to extend the reporting tool to allow users to flag up such profiles to the admin team, and wondered how easy that could be, based on your knowledge of the way the reporting function works?

[Dismounted]

Yes, I could possibly craft something for it, although it will have to wait until I get some free time.

[Handbag]

That would be really kind of you , thank you :)

[TigerWare]

Thanks Dismounted. Clicks installed.
Another great addition. Thanks! :up:

I was wondering about the (ID: n) in the reported thread, which I take is the pmid from the pm table. Is that actually of any use, wondering why it is being displayed.

[Dismounted]

The ID is displayed just in case you needed it, and yes, it is the pmid field in the pm table.

[momo2]

I have 4 mods and admin for some forums section, so how many ppl gets the pm ?

[TigerWare]

Me thinks you have misunderstood the purpose of this mod, momo2. This mod does not send anyone a PM, it allows people to report a PM. From the authors initial post:-
Description:
This modification allows users to report private messages and creates a thread for each report.


Once you install you have a setting to tell the modification which forum you want the NEW THREAD to be created in. I have mine go to a specific forum in my Private Moderators forum section.

[punchbowl]

Good release and I wish this was a standard in a stock vbulletin setup.

it should be. Great mod and a much better solution than read pms etc.

However - it doesn't report the pm subject line.

Installed a dream

thanks

[Triky]

Thanks! Installed.

Hi,

I recently upgraded vb to TPL 2, and now this mod has stopped working. The report button has gone. I uninstalled / reinstalled and enabled it via vb options.

Any ideas?

[jononline]

I added it went to options to edit options and it says

" A discussion thread can be created for each reported private message for moderators to discuss the post further. Choose a forum for the discussion threads to be created in."

I dont have one selected.. what does this mean??? do i have to create one or just pick one?

Second do i have to select one?

Third when someone reports where does it go? like how can i see it? does it automatically paste it to me?

Yes, you have to create a forum and select one, otherwise, the reports go nowhere.

3.6.8 > tpL2

[Dismounted]

It may be because of a template change that wrecks my replacing functions, I'll look into it.

[Red Spider]

Nice thanks :)

[Chimpie]

Great mod.

Have you thought about installing the option that will email the mods and admins when a PM is reported? Kind of like the default thread/post report option.

Maybe.

[SEdwards1]

really nice ;) im getting it.

[King Kovifor]

You might want to update the version here so that the Check Version actually has the latest check (say you release 1.3 and I have 1.2, it will still tell me I am up to date...). :p

[Dismounted]

Thanks for letting me know, fixed :).

[McMendo]

Not working with 3.7
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

I installed this other which works: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=169989

[RedFoxy]

to fix it for VB 3.7.0, go in the admin panel -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> open the edit templates -> edit ReportPM and:

Search:
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

Add After:
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

[adnedarn]

very easy- seems to work great!
Thanks!

Add this to the report template (under the <form> tag):
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

[Thelonius Beck]

Nice.

[viper357]

Add After: <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

Add this to the report template (under the <form> tag):

Now I'm confused :p where is the correct place for the security token, does it matter? :confused:

[Dismounted]

It does not matter, it does the same thing, they are both inside the form declaration.

[Koroku]

Any idea of a way that I could get this to work with this hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=193064)? I like the idea of threaded PMs... but the report function is MUCH more useful.

[Dismounted]

Does it not work?

[Fraxter]

The security token is missing (3.7.3) i hope you can update this great addon dismounted. :)

best regards

Look on the previous page ;).

[Skitty]

Hello, after upgrading to 3.8, the report pm icon shows twice, see attachment. Could you please point me towards a fix ?

Thank you !

[Dismounted]

In 3.8.0, there is a PM reporting feature, by default. Therefore, this modification is not needed.

[Chimpie]

Even though I'm uninstalling it, I want to thank Dismounted for this mod. It proved useful to our members.

THANKS!

where are the options for that? thanks

I guess it's be in vBulletin Options (Post Reporting/Infractions??).
