Add Ignore User To Postbit Dropdown

[Mosh]

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack has now been discontinued. This means that while it will remain available for download and use, if people find that this hack conflicts with any other hack, I would advise that you un-install this hack as I am no longer monitoring this thread and this hack will not be upgraded at all. I am also not interested in doing paid work requests to update this hack at all.



What Does This Hack Do?hr
This is an update to my 3.8.x version of this hack, designed to work with vBulletin v4.0.x.

A simple hack that will display an option to ignore a user in the postbit (or postbit legacy) dropdown menu (see screenshots for a visual example).

This will not show up in your own posts, as you would not really want to try ignoring yourself. It also does not show for guests.

This hack is fully phrased.


vBulletin Version Compatibilityhr
This hack can only be used with v4.0.0 and later versions.

For the v3.8.x version of this hack, which will also work with v3.7.x and v3.6.x - check here.




Install Instructionshr

Import the ms_ignore_user_postbit_40.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.
If upgrading from an earlier version, then set Allow Overwrite to Yes.


Uninstall Instructionshr

Uninstall the product in vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.


Version Historyhr

Hi this doesn't work in VB RC2... there isn't a drop down anymore. On the profile page the menu is under the avatar, on the forumhome when you click a username it brings up a popup menu giving you the same options but your add ignore isn't there...

On the profile page it is supposed to be a drop down its a bug in the code making it display where it shouldn't.

None of the mods that work with the member drop will work they removed the hooks in that location. I made a suggestion over on vb.com that they add the hook back.

BBR-APBT is correct, the hook has gone missing and vBulletin is actually using a new template to display the Postbit Dropdown that has no hooks in it, and until vBulletin re-adds the hook back in any hacks that try adding a link to the postbit dropdown will fail to be added.... it is not my fault :(

[Mosh]

UPDATE: I reported this as a bug (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=34036) just over 3 hours ago, and the status has now been changed to Confirmed (Bug Scrub), Priority 1 - Highest, so it means that it should hopefully be fixed by the next Release Candidate ;)

[Mosh]

UPDATE 2: The status has now been changed to Fixed (Pending), so it means that it will be fixed in the next release.

I want the next release. I have updated my mod it should start working on the upgrade.

Since I was playing around I modified the template for yours while I was playing if you care to use it, it is posted below. I have a bit of time on my hands right this second. I hope you don't mind me posting it. You probably already adjusted on your own I am sure. But what the heck here it is anyway.

I can not get this to work, even with the new template hook, the correct template gets called, but does not render, so something is being blocked when the function construct_memberaction_dropdown is called :(

I can however make this work with a template edit, so until I sort it out I will not be releasing an update and will be marking this In Beta

I couldn't figure it out either. It was a pita.

Look here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1935793

I gave up and re-wrote the whole darn template.

Well I have added the problem to the bug report over vBulletin.com.

I will no longer be supporting Alpha, Beta & Release Candidates of vBulletin 4.0.0.

Sugestion: When a user posts on a thread of mine, and its on the Ignore List, all posts that pestilant user makes on my thread will automatically be considered "not wanted" and the other users of the forum shouldn't see the post also (like displaying a ignored message).

Excellent Mod.

Cheers works perfect

Hi all,

It is with regret that after over 4 years (and thousands of hours) spent providing free support for my free hacks released here, as of today I will no longer be able to provide support for free.

This is due to being unemployed for a while, being strapped for cash and unable to rely on the virtually non-existant donations from here to help to pay the bills or put food on the table for my family. I am now providing all support for my free hacks released here over at Wolfshead Solutions (http://www.wolfshead-solutions.com) via an annual support subscription (for a small fee).

It does not mean I will be no longer release free hacks, I will, but I will just no longer be supporting them for free.

My free hacks have and always will remain free to download and use. And so will updates/bug fixes.

I will be releasing more free hacks, but if you require any support at all for those free hacks, you will need to purchase an annual support subscription over at Wolfshead Solutions to receive support.

I am really sorry I have to do this, but revenue generated by my programming gigs are now my only source of income, and I can no longer afford the luxury of providing free support here, when that time can be spent creating new commerial products, doing paid work requests or providing paid support to pay the bills.

Thank you for the understanding.

Regards,

Mosh.

FYI, there is a conflict with the following mod:

"Find all started threads" in postbit & postbit_legacy dropdown (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229262)

If I enable your mod, the other mod doesn't show. If I disable your mod, then the other shows.

[hiker]

So if I've ignored a user, and another friendly user quotes the ignored user, will I see the ignored user's content in my friend's post?

Just curious.

I'll be using this, thanks. And good luck with finding some income out there.

hi Mosh, found an huge issue with your porduct and the vbblogs ... if install this product the 'blog this post' and 'blog entries' completely disappear ... need a quick fix ... :)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack has now been discontinued (as I am getting fed up with updating this hack every time Internet Brands updates vBulletin to a new version, as it tends to break this hack again) - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates as this thread is no longer monitored. For people who find that this hack conflicts with other hacks, I would advise that you use the BBR - Useful Links on Member Action Dropdown hack instead.

Installing this messed up my entire threadbit... very good idea and would try it again once fixed. Uninstalled for now.

Who is also not supporting,nor offering, any hacks right now. Great.

Any solution for this?

Would be extremely useful to have this mod working correctly...

[Raioneru]

It doesn't work with social networking or any of the others I had installed. Other than that it would work perfectly.

[DemOnstar]

Works well.

Only one question regarding alignment.

How do I change this to line up with all the other elements thanks...
