moderation queue notification

[Chadi]

Is there any mod that displays anything in moderation queue to show up in the notification drop down menu? Including threads, posts, attachments, etc.

Try this: FractalizeR: Show items, awaiting moderation in notifications area

Now if only someone can adapt this - to also send an email to the moderators when something is waiting in the queue :)

Bump for update, yes, this would be sweet. We have members who are inactive set to be placed in moderation when they post, getting an admin email would be great. Any mods for 3.8x that do this?

Ok guys i've just knocked something up, it isn't tested so dont shoot me :) i've added email sending (i hope) to fractilizers mod so when the count of any of the items is greater than zero an email is sent out to the usergoupid's in the box in vbulletin options - give it a try if you dare :)

EDIT: it's his vb3 version so i dont know if it will work on vb4

EDIT 2: Removed for now as there's a code problem

[Simon Lloyd]

Ok re-added the product, no code faults but still not tested! :)

EDIT: New product uploaded with typos fixed, import with overwrite

[Panzer Max]

Thanks, let me test it. :up:

Ok, I'm uncertain about these two options:

Send Email to moderators?
Select Yes to send emails to selected usergroups above.

and

Usergroups to email

If I check the Administrator box at the top under Usergroups to which to show notifications

and YES to Send Email to moderators?

do I need to enter usergroupid's to email??

[Simon Lloyd]

My mistake, it should read email below usergroups Yes No then enter usergroupid's, im off to bed now i'll fix the typos tomorrow but let me know how it goes :)

Fixed typos and changed the product above :)

hi Simon,

Ok, I see I have 1 Post for Moderation in the log in corner of the forum. But no email. What should the email look like? What will the header be?

I have the settings correct, right? Admin is usergroup 6.

thanks!
PMax

PS: I set my test user to usergroup that needs moderation, made a few more posts but still no email. :)

[Simon Lloyd]

Ok i'll look further maybe later today.

[Panzer Max]

Thanks, Simon. I remember you from several other posts, you do great work.

[Simon Lloyd]

Hmmm, i've not changed anything but spotted a typo, same applies, not tested but should do the job

[Panzer Max]

hi Simon,

I have tested it again, and the notifications show up above the log in, but no email.

[Simon Lloyd]

Ok, ill look at it tomorrow properly and test it as i have an hour or two spare tomorrow.

[RedTurtle]

Also interested in an email solution! Thank you for doing this. :)

cool - just noticed this update by Simon Lloyd to add an email notification to FractalizeR

see post #5 in this thread
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2380895&postcount=5

and an update in post#11
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2381681&postcount=11

has anyone else tried this with vB4?

[Simon Lloyd]

I completely forgot about this, i'll take a look later today if time allows :)

Well I tried using Simon's mod of Fractilizer on a new vB3 and a new Vb4 test forum
- used latest versions of vBulletin with only this mod installed
- for the VB4 version I cut and pasted Simon's mod changes from his vB3 version
into the FractilizeR 4 version myself - so didn't really expect it to work.

Initially I was setting the new Email options wrong by using the Usergroup "Names" vs Usergroup "IDs"
this caused an immediate MySQL error when loading forum homepage

After setting the Email option to use Usergroup Ids it did quit displaying the MySQL error
but unfortunately no email was ever sent when new Notifications were present
in either the vB3 or vB4 test forums.

I sure hope Simon can find some time again to work on this :)

more info:
Also tried changing the forum email option to use SMTP server - both with and without the "-f" option
Same results as before - Notification Popups work like the normal FractilizeR Mod
but no email sent - Sendmail log shows no errors

Test emails sent from vB3 and vB4 to users work fine
so I know the basic email feature works

Here is some setup info if it helps Simon :)
OS = CentOS 5.9 with latest updates
PHP version 5.3.3
MySql 5.0.95
Vbulletin - both test sites are Forum Only suites
VB4.20 patch level 3
VB3.87 patch level 3

Admittedly i haven't had much time to revisit this, your server environment is of no consequence, it's just i've got something wrong in the code somewhere :)

Well thanks for looking at it again .
Mainly I was wondering if the PHP 5.3.3 was deal breaker but I guess not.
(I needed to update it from the default Centos PHP 5.2.x in order to install the latest phpMyAdmin)

Hi guys,

I know some of these posts are old now but the requirement for moderation queue notifications is still there.

As such I have just released my own MOD that takes care of this for us. It also has support for a desktop app or any other app you may want to develop that can read in .xml files.

Thanks Simon - you are my new hero!:D

Simon has been replaced by Lee Roberts as my new hero :p

His vBMQN Mod to send email notices of Moderation Queue
does just what has been needed by vB3 and vB4 for a long time.
