I just installed this... It's not working at all.

I am on 3.7.0... perhaps that is the problem?

[Jeanhdo]

I installed in vb 3.7.1 level 2 and is working perfectly, not only added the phrases in postbit and postbit legacy, because it's not there.
But even then it worked perfectly.

Thank you.

I just installed this... It's not working at all.

I am on 3.7.0... perhaps that is the problem?I haven't tested it on 3.7.0 yet, but if you followed the installation steps and you're sure you made no mistakes, most likely - that is the problem. Only 3.7.1 and above. Maybe if you tell us what error you get, we'll try to solve the problem.

[ptwiggens]

Actually NVM... for some reason the edits didn't save... bleh. Thanks!

[Julrou]

Hey there !

Great mod, works perfectly on my site ! :up:

I've enhanced it in order to allow mods and supermods to ban user from thread.

Just re-upload the xml file in the admincp (allow overwrite -> yes).

You can choose to give or not the ability to mods and supermods to ban from a thread in the templates modifications (see the new README file in this post's attachments) : just modify the usergroups you want in this line :

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))">

(at the start of every template modifications).

[AcidX]

Thanks Julrou! : ) But it sure needs more development before realeasing the new version.

I wouldn't like Moderators to have permissions to ban users on ALL forums, but instead - just on the forums they are assigned to moderate. We also have to keep the installation proccess simple - no manual tempate edits. If you're interested, we could both develop this mod and publish it. The sooner - the better.

However, if anyone wants to give all moderators the permisson to ban users from threads on all forums - install Julrou's modification (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1556049&postcount=9). Tested - it works ;)

No problem!
I could be cool ! :up:
PM me :D:up:

[ShiZoPhreN]

Thanks :) for this great Hack :)

But you can, add the name of the Moderator/Admin who has banned a user from Thread?

eg.:

This is a Thread? [Clear All]
-- Love-vB [Unban] {banned by ShiZoPhreN @ 22.06.2008 | 22:47 }

Thanks: ) in Advance

you can use can_moderate() instead

[TheInsaneManiac]

I'm glad this has been ported, man did I miss this. Thanks a lot! :D

[maidos]

how about having a ban period for the threads? canu implement ban feature for subforum?

[maidos]

the ip icon is no longer visible for moderator

[Julrou]

the ip icon is no longer visible for moderator

It's kind of normal at this time : only admins can used this mod (except if you use my way, see messages above...).

[maidos]

already tried your way. mods stillc ant see the ip icon :(

[Thelonius Beck]

I will have to give this a shot. I liked the old Mod for 3.6.X, but all of the file edits made it not worth it after an upgrade. This looks much more user friendly.

[maidos]

mods cant move the threads. im uninstalling this mods.. its too unstable

[AcidX]

mods cant move the threads. im uninstalling this mods.. its too unstableThe mod is not unstable. Noone else seem to have problems, but you.
You're either not following the installation manual, or there is a conflict with some of your modifications. :erm:

Ip icon shows, mods can move threads, no side effects...

[odeezie]

Does this have a spot in the AdminCP > vbulletin options? I thought it may be editable for usergroups.

Thanaks thats exactly what i needed.

[AcidX]

Does this have a spot in the AdminCP > vbulletin options? I thought it may be editable for usergroups.Not yet. Only admins (and eventualy moderators (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1556049&postcount=9)) have permission to ban users from threads.

[odeezie]

Have you noticed any bugs with the modification in this post? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1556049&postcount=9

I installed that instead of teh original in order to have mods be able to use this, and now it is banning users from random threads all over the place. The original mod was working fine and not doing this. Any ideas?

[msu2k]

Great mod...very much looking forward to:
- Allow Mods/Supermods to use thread bans [optional];
- Time ban [hours, days, weeks...];

[wpeloquin]

what is the difference between v3.6 and v3.7? i have the old one installed, and it still works fine after upgrading vB to 3.7.

[centralss]

doesn't work with 3.7.2! Any ideas or updates? Tried to install but got DB error!

[centralss]

ok I have an update in case anyone else has a problem with this. I hate when people say ok it works now and doesn't explain to others how they fixed it so they help everyone!! :)

I had previously deleted an earlier version of this mod. After looking at the database error I was getting while importing the product, it showed there was a duplicate entry in the "datastore" field. So I went into myphp and found under datastore, the BTU entry, removed it and closed out myphp.

I then retried the import of the product and it worked. Now my mods on my site will be happy, lol.

[centralss]

ok another update. It is not working for me. Yes I followed all the templates add ons in the instructions.

When I choose ban user from there, it says unbanned user from thread.

So I try it again and it continues to say the same thing over and over!!

Any ideas?

[centralss]

wow this is hurting my head. This is what I found.

If you click on the users name and have the box pop up and you select the words "ban user from thread" it doesn't work, you get the unbanned user from thread wording, BUT

if you click on the IMAGE in the profile (ban image) it works! lol

Need to figure out why the pop up box part isn't working. Since I seem to have good luck with say "any ideas" I'll say it again

Any ideas?

[centralss]

ok pop up box is working, must have just needed to refresh browser!!

[Thelonius Beck]

Perfect. Thank You.

Note that by using the modified installation (Julrou's modification (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1556049&postcount=9)) - ALL your moderators have permission to ban users from ALL threads. So I'm pretty sure that your moderators are setting the bans all over your forum. That's why I recommend everyone the original installation.

I try to install this version.. i insert array(5,6,7)) (moderator, GM and admin) but ALL THE USERS can ban EVERYONE from a thread :eek:

[AcidX]

Well, if your REGISTERED USERS usergroup has grupID 5, 6, or 7... they will have permission to ban. You need to see the IDs for Administrators, Super Moderators and Moderators gropus and replace them with 5, 6 and 7. The group IDs can be different...

If you are not sure what to do with Julrou's modification, just install the original mod in the first post.

Yes of course i've checked before that my usergroup 5,6 and 7 were Admin/GM and Mod.
No problem, i've make some error of course. ^^

I love this mod and i've installed it 'normally' but it was nice if i can use it for my moderator :P
Thanks anyway, i try to reinstall it. ;)

edit: i think i make it right now, thanks. :)

[Skyrider]

Is there any way to see who banned a member from a thread?

[TroyTrojansFan]

Hi,
I've installed the mod and it seems to be working fine, except for the threadban and threadunban images are not showing up. :confused: I've uploaded the two images to the images/buttons/ folder. Did I put them in the wrong place or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good job on the mod. I like it. ;-)

[TheLab]

Just updating this to say its working fine with 3.7.3 :)

[sina1808]

Same happened with me, so now ive had to stick to it just being for admins for the time being ;)

[Hanany95]

There is something wrong. When I try to upload the xml document, it says, " XML Error: No error at Line 0 ". Please help me.

[Daggerzz]

Ok i may be a little dense here I am using vb 3.71 and I do not find any of the script the instructions say to find and add to.

Same problem

How do you fix it to where we can see the images?

I put mine in several locations after first installing it in forums/images/buttons and still can't see the images.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Do re-upload the xml first then make the text change next? Because I tried to add the text for the mods, super mods etc and keep getting a line error about missing <if> and it may not work properly.

[BettorsTalk.com]

Has support for this stopped?

[Daggerzz]

Evidently

[BettorsTalk.com]

Same problem here.

I am using the original mod in 3.7.5 and everything works fine. Only the symbols are not shown in the postbit_legacy.

I tried to use an absolute path instead of the imgdir variables. Nothing to see.

I think it must be in the conditions

<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="$vbphrase[btu_ban]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadunban.png" alt="$vbphrase[btu_unban]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</if>

Can someone help, please?

[BettorsTalk.com]

Don't think you will get an answer, but hopefully you will so the rest of us can figure this out as well.

[inciarco]

I'd be Great that Also, besides Banning Users from a Thread the Admins can Ban Usergroups from it, so that Threads can be Posted in Forums that are accessed by those Usergroups but only for those Threads the Specified Usergroups don`t have Access. :confused:

Would be a Great Complement to this Great Mod. ;)

I Hope this Can be Developped.

My Best Regards.

I can't install it at all. It tells me it's incompatible with version 3.8.1

[kurti]

is there a version for 3.7.4 ?

[BlueNinjaGo]

I would think this works with 3.7.4. Not 100% sure since my forums are 3.7.3.

[Patiala King]

thanx man!! I was looking for this mod from a long time. Thanx!!

[DannyC55]

any compatible with the latest vb 3.8+ ?

[rizvihot]

Great mod, can we also have an option that... other than ban user from accessing the "thread",
we can allow only certain usergroup to read,reply to the particular thread?i mean to keep lower usergorup out from particular thread?.. So this will encourage users to do quality posting , so that they will be promoted to other higher level of usergroup and then only can access to the thread. Because certain thread ,maybe we wan't to give some exclusivity e.g gossip, secret ... to the thread :D


thank you in advance

[GeorgeB85]

Does anyone know if there is a compatible version for 3.8?

My friend just tried installing this and got this error message

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.8.2 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0 / Incompatible with 3.7.99 and greater)

[Oblivion Knight]

Seems to be working just fine on 3.8.2.. :)

To install it, edit the product and find and delete this:
maxversion="3.7.99"

[ACiD619]

My board is similar to this one, if you click someones username it goes to there profile and not to quick user options.... Help would be appreciated.

[xyzmary2001]

I tested it on vBulletin 3.8.2 and it doesn't seam to work. Actually nothing appears to me, although I have already deleted the "maxversion"

Any idea what should I do to make it work?

[Gibbles]

works fine on 3.8.3 .. just gotta change the maxversion :)

[Artes_Marciales]

D?ont work for my (3.8.3) :(
The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 3.8.3 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0 / Incompatible with 3.7.99 and greater)

[Jah-Hools]

This really is a genius plug in!

How can I give moderators permission to ban from a thread? But only threads in their forum.

[Skyrider]

Is there any plugin for this for VB 8? I'm getting this error when I attempt to install this on the latest version:
This product is not compatible with version 3.8.4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0 / Incompatible with 3.7.99 and greater)

EDIT:
You can force an install by removing this from the XML code:
<dependencies>
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.7.99" />
</dependencies>
Though I am not sure if this is allowed to do so.

[Skyrider]

Can anyone get this to work on VB 3.8.4? It seems it doesn't work for me.

[-=Leb=-]

We need an update lol

[Saviour]

Installed and working perfectly in 3.8.4 PL1. Thanks!

Just don't forget to remove the dependency, or make the template edits. I'm also looking forward to the continued support of this mod and the "To-Do" list being completed.

[andrew67]

Also working fine on 3.8.4 PL1 with the same changes as Saviour has mentioned. Very handy , I also hope to see itupdated and added to the 3.8 mods forum.

[morrow]

I'd like to allow the thread creator to ban a user rather than just the admin/mods... Anything like that around?

[absy]

anyone know if this works on version 4 please

[Phaedrus]

Excellent. Remove the dependencies and this works in 3.8 versions...

[farazfaraz]

<font color="Red">gooooooooooooooooooooooood!</font>

[g0dfather1984]

Thanks! Works well on 3.84.

[Crichton47]

Anyone know if there is a way to threadban someone who hasn't posted in the thread itself?

[Forum Lover]

A are you not going to port it for vb4?

[Speysider]

Anyone know if there is a way to threadban someone who hasn't posted in the thread itself?

You can only threadban users who've actually posted in the thread.

[jeriddian]

Excellent mod. Is it possible to put in a feature where the user is not banned form the thread, but his posts on that particular thread are just put into moderation? Thanks for your attention.

Same problem

How do you fix it to where we can see the images?

I put mine in several locations after first installing it in forums/images/buttons and still can't see the images.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm not sure how this issue has gone so long without someone fixing it. The problem is in the template edit instructions - the second edit to the postbit legacy template (the one that is placed after $post[iplogged]) should also be applied to the postbit template. :D

[dutchbb]

Users can still access thread with phones, can you fix please?

Tapatalk: Does this mod still work if a user logs on to the forum with Tapatalk?

I think not since some of our banned users still manage to post with their phones.
