United-Forum report via private message

[Mooff]

A very easy to install and straight forward modification which enables the private message system for reports.

install
- import product
- done :p

features
- sends pms to all affected moderators
- given there are no moderators in the parentforum/article the pms are send to admins instead
- also works for cms
- no support for blogs

language support
- german/ english currently
- language is hardcoded and that won't change
- adding a new language product file is easy, just edit this part to your needs:

//language blob
$titel_text = 'Post reported by ';
$auto_report = 'Automated private message via report system.';
$url_text = 'reported post';
$mods_text = 'moderators: ';
$reason_text = 'reason: ';
$content_text = 'post content:';

(if someone wants to improve my english in there, feel free to do so)
- please share your translations in this thread.

support
- we are using it in our live board, so yes, it will be supported.

Installed It on 4.1.5.. Really, No Idea How This WOrks! Any Demo?

[Mooff]

User sends in a report -> all affected moderators receive a private message.

Can't think of a way to demonstrate it. I would propose installing it in your testboard and report a post.

[thedvs]

I used another mod like this on the older vb's, this is so much better than email reports & way more efficient. Being able to edit the content of the report also is brilliant.

Many, many thanks Mooff.

Nominated.

[LOGECT]

Great mod, thanks a lot.
Here is Persian translation of this mod.

[LOGECT]

I'm getting the following error when i'm trying to report a post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=131503&stc=1&d=1312037922

[Mooff]

Bug should be fixed. Files updated to 1.0.1.

Thanks for the persian version, which i unfortunally can't upgrade to 1.0.1 personally, cause editing and saving it on my pc causes the persian characters to go corrupt.

I'm getting the following error after upgrading to the new version v101 :D

Doesn't seem to work, checked the private messages of the assigned moderators but he never received any private message what so ever.

[Mooff]

Damn missed that one. I do not get this warning on my board (though i know where the problem lies, error message is pretty clear). Can you check for me if the warning goes away when we use an empty permission string?
old:

$vB_DataManager_PM->set_recipients($modlist);


new:

$permissions = array();
$vB_DataManager_PM->set_recipients($modlist, $permissions);


If not, i'm gonna need some time to find out how exactly i have to design that permission thing.


@FF|Skyrider
Did you report a post or an article comment?
This mod does not work for blogs, pms ...

[Skyrider]

Mooff, I simply reported a post / thread.

Thanks for your support, that solved the problem, but i will no longer see the redirect page after submitting a report.

[Mooff]

Thanks for the feedback. Edited that part in and updated the files - no version change though - minor bug.

As for the redirect page, last line of the report.php

eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_reportthank s'));
}

does that. This should not be affected by my addon at all.

Btw. on our board i neither see the redirect page regardless of having the addon actived nor deactived.


@FF|Skyrider
I'm totally lost here. Please try to reinstall the addon or try to report a post in a forum where no moderator will be affected, only you (and the other admins) and check if that does work.

[johnrizz]

work good !

[DonosOdD]

*clicking install button*

Thank you very much. You have no idea on how much I needed this!

EDIT: Adding a Brazilian Portuguese translation for this.

[Mooff]

Thanks DonosOdD.

Language added in the first post.

[sbelle731]

Great Mod...Thank you!

Is there a way to send a notification to all mods when someone reports a private message?

[xabo]

Realy nice, thanks!

Made a norwegian translation.

[mostafa10601]

hi, plz update this mod for vb 4.2.0

tnx...

[EliasAlucard]

Installed and nominated, great stuff!

[shakir1401]

i installed this on vb4.2.1 and installed correctly but no pm is being sent for reports made.
is this compatible with vb 4.2.1?

[Zelda-King]

I'm aware this is a really old mod but just for anyone browsing for mods like this, on vB 4.2.5 it does this when submitting a report:

[] operator not supported for strings on line 29 in /path.../report.php(132) : eval()'d code
#0 /home/viainfinito/public_html/forums/report.php(132): eval()
#1 {main}

[chudvs]

any fix for v4.2.5?
