Exclude Users from Reported Post Emails

[fatal1980]

Hi, I whipped this up quick. I'm not a programmer, so excuse the lack of proper coding. The code works, I just don't know what it breaks if anything. But I've tested it my self.


**NOTE** Make a backup of every file mentioned here when modifying them.

First, open up your "includes/config.php" file and add the following. Replace the numbers with the userid's of the users who you don't want to receive the emails. Typically these will be administrators who are mostly your technical staff, they don't get involved with the forums that much other than fixing them.


// ****** EXCLUDE USERS FROM REPORTED POST EMAILS ******
$config['excludereportedpostusers'] = '2,9626';


Next open up "includes/class_reportitem.php" and go to line 201.

below:
$mods["$moderator[userid]"] = $moderator;

insert the following:
if (in_array($moderator, $config['excludereportedpostusers'])) { }
else {

Then on line 203 below:
$reportinfo['modlist'] .= (!empty($reportinfo['modlist']) ? ', ' : '') . unhtmlspecialchars($moderator['username']);

insert the following:
}

That's it, the users you specify will be skipped when the array is created to notify moderators/super moderators/administrators of a reported post via email.

I created this because I know of people who don't need to receive these emails and sometimes they can get annoying on bigger sites.
