Report Bad PM

[Boofo]

Report Bad PM for vB3.7
Version 1.0.5
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This mod will allow the member to report a bad PM to the the Admin or Mods that you choose to receive the report. It also has a setting to start a thread in the forum of your choice for PM reports. I don't use that option as I don't think it reporting PMs in threads is a very smart idea, but I know I will be asked to add it and since it was already there, I left it in.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 -- Initial release for vBulletin 3.7.0 beta 4.
Version 1.0.2 -- Fixed missing TABLE_PREFIX.
Version 1.0.3 -- Re-did the PM template to be more in line with default vB PMs.
Version 1.0.4 -- Re-did the e-mail template to be more in line with default vB e-mails. Fixed datamanager error if PM receiver was over their PM quota. Added reportpmlog file, available to Super Admins only, to view and manage Bad PM Reports via the Admin CP.
Version 1.0.5 -- Updated with securitytoken.

Note: This will now work with both the posbit and postbit_legacy templates. This now is set at ON on install as well as User ID 1 receiving the Bad PM reports.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Paul M for most of the re-write for this for 3.5.4. Also, I want to thank to cheesegrits for his invaluable help on fixing the datamanager error while using the quote tags in the PM messages and helping me put the finishing touches on this new version. Last but not least, thanks goes to Dismounted for his permission for the use of his code for the automatic button insert into the template. Thank you, sir.

is it compatible for 3.6.8 ?

[NeuroLancer]

where is the report button meant to appear? Sorry I cant find it must be going blind...

[Mike-D]

Thank you, Bob. Works flawless and perfectly as always :) Installed Nice work. Keep it up :up:

is it compatible for 3.6.8 ?Does work in 3.68 too without any problems ;)

[ChurchMedia]

Is the install code missing the TABLE_PREFIX? I'm getting a "table doesn't exist" error when trying to test it out.

Thanks for the product! It will help my members report PM spam.

[Mike-D]

where is the report button meant to appear? Sorry I cant find it must be going blind...The button is located in the images/buttons/report.gif directory :)

[Boofo]

It's in the same spot at the one in the postbit is but only in private messages. ;)

You're right. I just checked it and no table prefix. I don't use one so I never noticed it. I will fix it and re-up a new one shortly. Sorry about that. I usaully check those things. ;)

[NeuroLancer]

It's in the same spot at the one in the postbit is but only in private messages. ;)

not for me it isnt lol

I've been using another mod for report pm... a 3.6 mod... when i disable your mod, and enable the old one, the report image displays fine. If i swap them over Report Bad Pm just doesn't want to show the report image on my beta4 board.

[ChurchMedia]

You're right. I just checked it and no table prefix. I don't use one so I never noticed it. I will fix it and re-up a new one shortly. Sorry about that. I usaully check those things. ;)

No problem! I've really been enjoying the products you've releasing. Thanks! :cool:

[Boofo]

@NeuroLancer - Then your postbit is changed from the code it is looking for. You will have to do a manual edit or revert the template first.

@ChurchMedia - The updated fix is now in the first post. Thanks for catching that. I had the TABLE_PREFIX on the uninstall code, just not the install code. ;)

[NeuroLancer]

I have done revert all on default template, then reinstall, still not showing up.. (yea ive turned it on in options :) )

Actually ive found the problem, it works in postbit but not with postbit legacy ;)

You are absolutely right. I didn't even think of that as I only use the postbit. Is your postbit_legacy modified usually?

I will update the first thread with this info until we figure out how to handle it. I'm not sure if I can do 2 string replacements in the same xml and get away with it. I'm new at that stuff yet. ;)

[FleaBag]

Thanks Boofo, and welcome back. :)

[Boofo]

You're very welcome. ;)

How have you been? Holding down the fort? ;)

[COBRAws]

Thanks for the port Boofo. This should be a built in feature :D

[Boofo]

Actually, there's a big discussion about it on the com. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a stripped down version in one of the future vb releases.

[NeuroLancer]

The legacy version works great :)

This may seem like splitting hairs here but how do i get the report button to appear on the right side of the user online image instead of the left side?

[Boofo]

I will take a look at it and see what I can figure out. I need the exact code before and after where you want it from the default template and about 8 more beers and we should be all set. ;)

[NeuroLancer]

Ah ok I don't know what that code would be lol .... thanks for all your mods they're great mate.

Off topic: 8 more beers? lol, makes no sense there's 6 in a sixpack, might as well get you 12. Come over to Australia and we'll do a carton challenge ;)

[Boofo]

Just open up the template and look where the part is you want it to be at. ;)

I can be on a plane in 20 minutes so be careful about the invite unless you're ready to party! ;)

[Mike-D]

I can be on a plane in 20 minutes so be careful about the invite unless you're ready to party! ;)I'll be in TN on 4th July at the greatest Acura/Honda meeting. Maybe we can arrange to meet ya ;)

[Boofo]

Sounds like a plan, sir. I'm sure we'll talk more before then. Nobody can hide from the Boof-inator. ;)

[youradhere4222]

This works great, thanks!

By the way, what modification are you using to organize your post-bit information into a box? :)

[Boofo]

Thank you, and my own modification. ;)

[youradhere4222]

No chance of release, eh? :(

[skrazydogz]

Hello I get this SQL Mistake!

MySQL-Fehler : Table 'd007162b.pmreportlog' doesn't exist
Fehler-Nr. : 1146

[Boofo]

No chance of release, eh? :(

Which part are you referring to? The alignment in 2 columns or the info involved in it? The info part has been released in a couple of hacks already. The alignment part is just a template modification.

[Boofo]

Hello I get this SQL Mistake!

Are you using version 1.0.2 with the fix for that?

[skrazydogz]

-----------------------

[skrazydogz]

Yes i use Version 1.02 (legacy)

[youradhere4222]

Which part are you referring to? The alignment in 2 columns or the info involved in it? The info part has been released in a couple of hacks already. The alignment part is just a template modification.

I'm referring to how your post-bit information (number of post, join date, etc) are enclosed in a box on your forum.

[Boofo]

Ok, try uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it. That should fix it for you. If you were using the first version in the beginning and updated it, it might not have remade the table.

[Boofo]

I'm referring to how your post-bit information (number of post, join date, etc) are enclosed in a box on your forum.

The box itself is just a template mod, not hack involved. ;)

[youradhere4222]

The box itself is just a template mod, not hack involved. ;)

So you're not releasing it, or is it someone else's?

[Boofo]

It was done for my site. But I don't release template mods as I don't consider them hacks. It's really simple to do. Just do a table, and rows with the info in it. 2 td's for each row.

I don't know how to code, so I'll make a unpaid request. :o

[skrazydogz]

ah thank you very much now it goes...

Is it possible to make an infobar for the button ?
When i go with the mouse over the button, a info line popup which called for example "report pm" ??

[Boofo]

I don't know how to code, so I'll make a unpaid request. :o

PM me and I can give you what you need to do it.

It should say Report Bad PM when you mouseover the icon.

[skrazydogz]

yes can you include it ?

I must translate it it german lol later

[Boofo]

The English phrase is already there for this. When you mouse over it now it says:


Report this Private Message


Just look for the text in the phrase search and change it to what you want.

[Mike-D]

yes can you include it ?

I must translate it it german lol laterYou can get the German translation. I did it any days ago. Presupposed Boofo does not have any objections ;)

[Boofo]

Mike-D, contact me PM and I will tell you where to send it and I will add it to the first post. Did you translate both versions?

[skrazydogz]

thanks Mike-D too late :D i have translated it ... (Trotzdem vielen Dank :))

[Mike-D]

Mike-D, contact me PM and I will tell you where to send it and I will add it to the first post. Did you translate both versions?Yes I did, Bob. But my German fellow was some ticks faster than me. No problem at all LOL. Thank you, Sir ;)

thanks Mike-D too late :D i have translated it ... (Trotzdem vielen Dank :))No problem. Anyway be so kind to give Bob your Tranlation if possible. Thanks :up:
Kein Problem. Dann sei doch bitte so nett und gib Deine ?bersetzung dem Bob (Boofo) :) Dank Dir!

[Bounce]

Works a treat,thanks Boofo :up:

[Celtkin]

Awesome Mod. Is there a way to exclude certain member groups from being reported?

[Boofo]

Awesome Mod. Is there a way to exclude certain member groups from being reported?

I didn't add that as I wanted it to be able to report anyone in case there was a rogue Mod or staff member on a site. Although rare, those things do happen. And I would want to know if someone was harassing or causing problems in PMs no matter who they were.

[Celtkin]

Thanks for the fast reply.

I agree on that point and that is rare but a real possibility. We run one of the largest American football message boards in the world and we have a lot of rabid fans. My concern is the tit-for-tat reporting of Mods by members who are pissed off because they were given warnings or infractions.

[Boofo]

Well the best thing would be to make a rule for the site regarding reporting PMs. No matter how tit-for-tat it may be, if a user has a genuine concern, it should be addressed. And if you DO ever have a rogue mod and they know they are exempt from being reported, think of the havoc they can cause before you find out about it. This is a very seriouis hack that should not be allowed to be abused.

[youradhere4222]

Once again, thanks, Boofo!

It's working fine on my forum at the moment, is there any real need to update?

[Boofo]

Yes, as this will work in either postbit now in case you want to change it later and the PM message has been totally designed for easier viewing. Also, it defaults to being ON on install and User ID 1 to receive the the PMs. I would recommend upgrading. I would welcome your opinion on the new changes.

[Jase2]

Thanks for this Boofo - it will be nice to keep this hack going. :)

Regards Jason :)

[NeuroLancer]

This mod has come up really nice with just the one xml now.

Thanks alot for your efforts

[Boofo]

Thanks for the kinds words. ;)

You can thank Dismounted for the code to insert the button in both postbits. Check out the PMs and let me know what you think of the way they look now compared to the way they were before. I think you'll be happier with the new version. ;)

[Ramsesx]

Thanks for this Boofo, just for your information after upgrade from 1.0.2 there weren't the default options set (no user ID and disabled).
How can I make it only sends the report to user ID 1 and to no moderator?

[youradhere4222]

Love the update, Boofo!

I managed to change the warning message under the report box effortlessly, and I love the new format of the message that gets sent! Great job, once again!

[Boofo]

If you just copied over it, the settings will stay what you had set before. I would do an uninstall and re-install it and it will be set how you want it. then go into the settings and see how I have it set to do it that way so next time you will know how to do it. Just enter the User ID or IDs of who you want to get the PMs in the bottom setting and make sure the Usergroups setting above it is cleared. It can either be set to Usergroups or User IDs.

[Boofo]

What warning message did you change and what did you change it to? I am always looking to better a hack if a good suggestion comes up. ;)

[youradhere4222]

When reporting a PM, I changed the default red text to this:

This is only to be used to report spam, problematic (harassing or rude) private messages, or any other content that violates our rules.

I removed the bold and red font (to make it a bit more professional and flow across the board), and I also made the word "rules" link to my rules page.

That's very easily accomplished. :)

Ok, sounds great! The reason I made it red and bold is so it would stand out from the report post since they both use the same type setup. ;)

[Jase2]

Yes, I think the bold red is very good Boofo. Makes it clear what is expected when reporting a PM.

What a lovely hack. :P

Regards Jason :)

[Boofo]

Let me know what you think of this Important Information message (in the pic). I changed the red color to the board highlight color and added some info to it. ;)

[Jase2]

That's good -- but as I say, it's good as it is, nice and short.

We just edit the .xml if we wanted to change it ourselves.

Regards Jason :)

[Boofo]

Good point. ;)

[dilbert]

Thanks, this is terrific.
When it sent the email, it also sends the BB code. Can this be removed prior to emailing?
Example:
REASON:test reply

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Thanks for the hack, works perfectly in 3.6.8 :)

[Boofo]

Thanks, this is terrific.
When it sent the email, it also sends the BB code. Can this be removed prior to emailing?
Example:
REASON:

No, as that is how vb's email works. It let's you know what was quoted. Just like in email notifications.

Don't forget the install button. ;)

[dilbert]

Don't forget the install button. ;)
Thanks for the explanation.
As for the install, does it count if it's on a test board? :) Once I update to 3.7, I'll likely include this modification.

[Boofo]

If it's installed, it's installed, right? ;)

If you don't use the install button then you won't be notified of any updates, if there are any. That's what it is used for.

[Jase2]

I have to say, this is a very neat mod Boofo. I just hope you can keep this hack going.

If needed, I'd be willing to make a donation :)

Regards Jason :)

[Boofo]

Donations are always accepted just never required. ;)

[Mike-D]

Mike-D, contact me PM and I will tell you where to send it and I will add it to the first post. Did you translate both versions?Bob,
did you get the German translation from that member 'skrazydogz'? See Page 3, starting from Post #40 :)

[Boofo]

Michael,

Nope never got it. You might want to upgrade to version 1.0.3 first and then if you want to translate that, it will be appreciated, sir. ;)

On the upgrade, make sure to uninstall the old version first as the settings in the new version are defaultly set differently.

[GafferSports]

so what is the code for the postbit as I do not see the button either.

Cheers in advance :)

[FleaBag]

You're very welcome. ;)

How have you been? Holding down the fort? ;)

The fort has crumbled! I just try to look busy now! Just installed this on my live board as well, thank you!

[Jase2]

Thanks for the update on this.

Regards Jason :)

[ArnyVee]

Sure seems that I can't get this working. Not sure why as I followed the directions. :(

Code for postbit? Did I miss something?

[Boofo]

Are you using the postbit or postbit_legacy?

[SVTCobraLTD]

Tested this on 3.6.8 and it didnt work for some reason. On my end while testing it, it seem to be working but never got the reported PM even though I have my user number entered and also the forum for admins. But do I need to have the "Report to all moderators" button on yes? I do not want it to go to all moderators, just me.

Also, anyone have any idea before I start messing around with this, how I could make a button appear next to "Forward"? I would rather have a "Report PM" button there. The https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/15.gif just isn't as noticeable. Thanks in advance.

SVT

[Boofo]

You would have to add a button and do a conditional in the template for the button. I kept it in line with the Report Post icon for posts.

I want to get this next to the Forward and Reply buttons. Anyone have any ideas of what class it would need to be in? Or even what templete has the links for Forward and Reply?

SVT

[Boofo]

The reason it was done the way it was as to coincide with the report bad post icon. The postbit and/or postbit_legacy is where you want to look.

[Jase2]

Hello Boofo,

Does this work on vB 3.6.8?

[Ducks]

Reports in forums needs to be moderated?

[Boofo]

It should be set to a Staff forum. Is that what you are asking?

[ecihanuysal]

tnx a lot for the mod.. ;)

[shlomot]

Read all former posts about legacy and postbit. The bottom line question stays the same: where is the button?

Please help to straight out this otherwise great MOD.

Also, now I'm getting the following database error:

It will be next to the IP icon. Looks like that table doesn't exist. You will need to uninstall and re-install the product xml so it can make that table.

Did that and it works just great.

[Koroku]

Thanks Boofo. We've recently been getting Buddhist spammers that join and send out mass amounts of PMs to everyone but staff... so it becomes kinda hard to "prove" that they're doing it, as I refuse to add a hack that allows us to read user PMs.

This'll work wonders, thanks again. :)

[Bounce]

I just upgraded and having a small problem

I tested if this worked and it does everything until i send the report ..

I redirects to /forum/misc.php and its a blank page?

Is there summit I am doing wrong ?

Thanks

[Boofo]

Must be. Did you read the install file carefully? You are the only one who has reported any problems with this so it has to be something you missed somewhere. The only thing the new version adds is the security token update.

Sorted B

I disabled the send PM to user (which was myself) I was testing it myself so maybe it was never gonna send a report to myself LOL :erm:

Anyhow sorted and working grand, thanks :up:

[Boofo]

You lost me. You did what now?

[Bounce]

You lost me. You did what now?

Lost myself lol...


I had Send Reports via PM active.

I entered my own ID in the Report to User section and PM'ed myself then reported my own PM LOL , this gave me the error I was having :D

[Boofo]

Well, I just tried the exact same test you did and it worked fine for me, with no error. ;)

[SVTCobraLTD]

The reason it was done the way it was as to coincide with the report bad post icon. The postbit and/or postbit_legacy is where you want to look.

Ok I changed the image by going to "Template: reportbadpm_button" but now how to do I get it next to Forward and Reply??

[punchbowl]

great mod but I reported a pm I had sent and it didn't say who I had sent it to.

[Boofo]

Check your settings.

[punchbowl]

Check your settings.

It works fine. Try going into your sent items and reporting one of your own pms. The report will leave out who the pm was sent to:

punchbowl has reported a private message:

REASON:
Quote:
test
PM Title: hello
Sent by: punchbowl(User ID: 1)<---------but to who?

REPORTED PM:
Quote:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
This message has been sent to the Site Administrator of the forums. Please respond to this private message as applicable.

[Boofo]

You are kidding right? Who got the PM?

[punchbowl]

You are kidding right? Who got the PM?

Nope. The intended recipient. I'll try clarify.

Admin sends a pm to a user ('bill')

"Could you please refrain from being an ass. Any more and the mods will ban at will"

and then decides he wants to share that pm with the mods. He goes into his sent items and clicks report pm.

The subsequent report thread will say who sent the pm but not have any mention of bill.

Probably by design.

[Boofo]

Regular PMs do it the same way. That's why they are called "Private" messages.

[Boofo]

I was not upset, either at your question or your uninstalling it. Makes no matter to me. I saw the post before you deleted it by the way.

[Boofo]

You did it again. Newbies...

[punchbowl]

I'm not new. I uninstalled it because it doesn't offer the functionality I'd hoped for and I already have a report pm mod installed that works fine.

Is the "*[reportpm_manager]*" in admincp part of this mod? I uninstalled and it's still there.

You did seem upset or else you wouldn't have gone patronizing two posts ago:)

[Boofo]

Read the install file and reverse it. I was only patronizing to someone who was posting and deleting those posts. If you don't like something don't use it, but don't slam something you have no idea what you are talking about.

[punchbowl]

No actually you started the patronizing before I blasted anything before that I was asking was a specific feature available. Then I deleted my posts as I thought they were unfair on you considering you provide a working product for free.

Anyhow I went uninstall in acp and the "*[reportpm_manager]*" is still there.

Not to worry though. No big deal.

[Boofo]

Because you didn't delete the files you uploaded. Remember those?

I was only patronizing to the messages you were posting that I got the email notifications for before you deleted them. Didn't know those went out even though you deleted the posts, did you? ;)

[GreasySpoon]

Hi Boofo,

thanks for the hack.

I got a litle problem. I dont receive the reported PMs via PM and in the chosen thread. I see them only in the admincp. I am using 3.7.1.

I have set this options:
Send Reports via Forum: Id of an private forum
Report to Usergroup: none (blank)
Report to User: My ID

[Jase2]

This is a great hack, installed a while back but never said "thanks". ;)

[Boofo]

Really? :erm:

If you'll notice, he said Thanks (with a capital t) before. He never sad thanks (with a small t). So he is right. ;)

[GreasySpoon]

What do you have the first 3 settings set at?

Enable Report PM: Yes
Send Reports via Email: No
Send Reports via PM: No

[Jase2]

Sorry, I guess I'm too busy I forget things like that hehe. Never mind LOL

LOL, Boofo! :)

[Boofo]

Enable Report PM: Yes
Send Reports via Email: No
Send Reports via PM: No

You won't see them in the PMs with the Send Reports via PM set to No. As far as the forums, you need to set the Usergroups that are allowed to see them to show up. The User ID is only for PMs. You can't do it both ways. Either forums or PMs.

[Boofo]

Sorry, I guess I'm too busy I forget things like that hehe. Never mind LOL

LOL, Boofo! :)

The sucking up was almost working until the "Never mind" part. You were this close. ;)

I guess this does not show the forum admin the bad PM for supporting evidence? If not, could this be a possible setting?

I see someone asked a similar question, but I don't quite understand the answer. Here are my settings:
Enable Report PM: Yes
Send Reports via Email: No
Send Reports via PM: No

My other fields are blank, except for my 'Send Reports via Forum' field which is filled with an ID. I want PM reports to show up in the staff forum only, and not be PM'd or emailed to anyone; is this possible?

Make sure the forum ID is correct. That is the most common problem I have come across. What is not working? I just re-tested the forum part of it on my site (I don't use it for that) and it worked fine. And those settings would be correct for what you want.

Nice one Bob :) I've been looking for this :)

You still need to either put in a usergroupid or userid - that's where I went wrong at first. It won't pm them if you don't have send pm ticked to yes, but you still need to enter that in there anyway. Hope that helps.
