View Full Version : Administrative and Maintenance Tools - vBMQN - Moderation Queue Notifications + Desktop App

****THE VB3 VERSION IS LOCATED HERE ! (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=295072)

Introduction
There are many scenarios where this mod would come in handy for administrators. There are too many for me to cover them all, so I will give you the scenario this mod was developed for...

If you have a hand full of moderating staff and a large number of forums, adding each moderator to each forum can be quite a pain, however doing it that way would give you notifications for those moderators when something dose need their attention from within those said forums...

Another option would be to setup staff to be Global Moderators, this removes the need to add them to specific forums but it also removes queue notifications because moderators wouldn?t be assigned to individual forums...

We require new members to be moderated and/or that their first submissions to the forum require moderating, this can become quite a pain because again staff would need to continually check the moderation queue for new items...

The Solution and Requirements
What we need is moderation queue notifications via email and possibly a desktop app for those staff that would rather not use their email/inbox.

Features:
- Email Notifications for multiple users/addresses
- Notifications for every item type (posts, threads, attachments etc.)
- Email sending using the vB mail method/system (plain text emails)
- Email generation should use the vB Phrase system (multi-language support)
- Automated checking of the moderation queue (vB Cron system)
- Should support the Scheduled Task log system (debugging, report actions taken)
- Support for external applications and their development (xml based status)

All of the above are present in the first release of this mod (v1), please see the screen shots.

This mod is setup as a vB Cron task; I could not see/find a better way to make this an automated system working with anything else from within the vB system. By default the Cron task is setup to run every 30 minutes, if you would like to adjust this, simply go in and adjust the Cron job as you wish.

Desktop App
At the moment I am still developing a windows (.net) desktop app to work with this, right now we don?t have a big need for this so it?s not a priority for me to develop this and get it out to you any time soon, when the moderation queue is checked regardless of its current state the included xml file is updated to reflect this. So all your own app would need to do is read in this xml file and take the action you require.

If there is a massive interest in the desktop app for this I could be persuaded to push it to the top of my job list, for now though it is work in progress and with no planned deadline or release date.

Support
We have been using this mod in a production environment for almost 12 months now with no problems at all, it is really quite a simple mod and I?m surprised it hasn?t been done already, given the number of requests I have seen.

I will support this as best I can, I am a busy guy so you will need to understand this if you do run into any problems and request support.

Install/Upgrade
Installing this mod is much like any other, upload the files in the download to the same locations on your server, import the product xml file, go to the Admin > Settings > Options > vBMQN: General Options page and configure as you wish. If you are upgrading from an older version simply follow the same steps as installing for the first time.

Change Log
v1.0 - 11 Feb 2013
- First version

v2.0 - 12 Feb 2013
- Added support for table prefix's ( config.php > $config['Database']['tableprefix'] = ''; )
- Rewrite of the database query code, now uses the vB Database Class ( $vbulletin->db->query_first )
- Changed from the use of the php "number_format" function to the vB function "vb_number_format"
- Added instant email notification rather than sending emails to the vB mail queue ( $notsubscription = true )

Enjoy!
This has helped us allot and I hope those of you who have requested this before find it to be ?just the job? as well.

Regards,
Lee Roberts

Installed on a vB4.20 test forum with only this mod installed
but no luck so far getting it to send email notifications

The Scheduled Task Log viewer shows vBMQN "Queue Checked"evertime it is run
but never shows a "Notification Sent" even though there are messages waiting in the mod queue.
The Sendmail log shows no activity or errors.

Have also tried manually running the Process E-Mail Queue and then vBMQN scheduled tasks with same results.

Hi,

Humm that is a strange one, i've used the "$notsubscription = true" in my code and this means "do not use the mail queue and send immediately" so i dont think its that.

How is the test forum setup to send mail? my test forum is setup to use SMTP for sending mail, however your cron log is telling you "Queue Checked" not "Notification Sent"...

What settings have you used for the Admin > Settings > Options > vBMQN: General Options page?

.Me

Bluemax712
02-11-2013, 08:38 PM
for vBMQN General Options:
- Moderator Control Panel (tried leaving blank and using modcp)
- Email Notification: Yes
- Notification Recipients: testmod@server.al.home
(this email works when sending a test message via VBulletin CP)
-Desktop Notification: Yes (but also tried No)

I've tried setting to SMTP too
and enabling/disabling the Email Queue system
and trying with and without the -f parameter

test messages from the CP -send test email to all users - work fine.

Lee Roberts
02-11-2013, 08:47 PM
Have you got another email address you can test with, i am wondering if there is an issue with the "dots" in that address?

Will see if i can replicate this now...

I just used that email address on my test forum and i got "Notification Sent".

The email was also recived by my mail server.

What items do you have in your mod que at the momment?

I've just been creating new "threads" everytime for testing -
it shows the awaiting messages count increase in the the admin control front status page under Threads to Moderate

I've then been running the vBMQN cron script manually

Don't have any other emails to try yet
only user@server.al.home type of emails addreses work for now with my setup
- vBulletin gives me "invalid email address" if I try to set a user's address to : user@localhost
though it does work if I mail from the command line

EDIT:
Installed on another server 4.1.12 (production) which has a few other plugins installed
inc Glowhost Spam-O-Matic + FractalizeR and a few others.

I get this error when running the vBMQN cron script manually

================================================== ================================================== ===============================

vBMQN

Queue Checked
Done
================================================== ================================================== ===============================

Edit 3: Also tried installing it on a test vB 3.8.7 with FractilezeR installed - got no errors when running the vBMQN script
but same results as the test vB4 server receive no emails
- Scheduled Task log only shows "vBMQN Queue Checked" (never says Emails Sent)

Edit4 : noticed if I purposely set the "modcp" setting to the wrong name - nothing changes - no errors shown
everything functions same

Since it's only version 1.0 - it would be cool if could add a debug function to print out all the variables on a separate page while it's running :)

Hi guys,

I dont think any other mods would/will give this mod any problems its far to simple for that and the info it needs from the database is unlikely to change unless vB make an update or change and i really cant see that happening.

The "Moderator Control Panel" setting dose nothing more then setup the link in the email that you recive, you should have this set to "modcp" unless your moderator control panel is in a folder with another name.

Your welcome, hopefully I can make this happen for you.

Hi,

Today it was clear I needed to do some more work on this mod as it was failing for people, today I have released version 2 and would like you to download and install this version.

Please see the "Change Log" section of the main description for the things that have been done. Version 2 also fix's the problems apsrfvb4 has been having, so generally version 2 is better, sorry for any inconvenience!

Thanks,
Lee

One thing for the next version that would be nice is to have an option so it just sends to all moderators.

OK,
I've gotten a couple moderated alerts, not quite how but I would like to change the URL in the email to something like this instead

http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/moderation.php

That way, I (or my mods) have the ability to ban the users as spammers etc.

I can't do that from the modcp.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, details below to change the email body:

Goto: AdminCP > Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager

From there change "Phrase Type:" to "Email Body Text", on the list that gets presented to you, look for "vbmqn" and choose "Edit" on the right for that Phrase, on the next page you will see it says "Text" and to the right of that you can see the default email body text:

Hello,

The moderation queue on $vboptions[bbtitle] has items waiting to be moderated.

Moderator Control Panel: $vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[vbmqn_modcpdir]/index.php

All the best,
$vboptions[bbtitle] Admin

Under this section you will see a blank white input box, the title for this section of the page is called "Translations", to change the URL in the email you would add into the blank white box the below text:

Hello,

The moderation queue on $vboptions[bbtitle] has items waiting to be moderated.

Moderator Control Panel: http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/moderation.php

All the best,
$vboptions[bbtitle] Admin

If you wanted to you could change this text to:

Hello,

The moderation queue on $vboptions[bbtitle] has items waiting to be moderated.

Moderator Control Panel: $vboptions[vbmqn_modcpdir]

All the best,
$vboptions[bbtitle] Admin

and then from the options page for this mod, where you would normally put the name of the folder for the moderator control panel i.e "modcp" you could actually put the full url to the "moderation.php" file/page, so this would be "http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/moderation.php".

Doing it the later way would mean you dont need to navigate through the Phrase Manager every time you want to change this url, though i would probably consider this to be a "set and forget", so not somthing that would require change too often. The choice is yours really.

Good Morning Ryan,

Ok, well for the app the plan is for this to just be a notification tool. So no management features are planned in that sense, there will be some vBMQN settings for things like the URL of the xml file i.e www.example.com/forums/includes/xml/vbmqn.xml so the app would know where to look for updates, notifications and queue status.

Zip File
Just advise. Put the include folder that it contains in a folder called upload. I know there are some users out there that not up to speed on everything.

Well spoted, i will change the zip when/if there will be an update.

installed on 4.2.0 PL2 did receive email however after deleting the test posting I am still receiving emails notifying me that the queue needs attention. ie; there is still posts there that need to be looked at when in fact there are none. do I have a setting wrong?

also: this seems to not be the case and is a byproduct of the repeated emails I am receiving

That is a strange one, a setting from this mod's options wouldnt do this. Instant email notification was actually present in version 1, i just forgot to document it, so added it to the change log to highlight it better for the guys upgrading...

Try running the repair and optimize wizard (AdminCP > Maintenance > Repair / Optimize Tables), i dont know if that will fix something for you or not but its the only thing i can think of doing, the mod dose a very simple database query and then performs an action based on the returned results, the results will be a 0 or a number above, there really is'nt any other way (that i know of) for the script/mod to think there is items waiting, it only knows this from something in the database telling it there is items waiting.

...I'm an idiot. Thank you so much. Is there a way to get these emails sent instantly? I only see subscribe through control panel or email weekly or daily.

By default vB treats anything "subscription" based as a lower priority, so these types of email always go to the email queue, you could install a MOD to stop this (if one exists) or you could turn off the "Mailqueue System" (AdminCP > Settings > Options > Email Options

Use Mailqueue System
When enabled, subscription emails generated by your site will be processed in batches to lessen the load on your server. Account activation, lost passwords and other vital emails are sent instantly regardless of this setting. If your site has low traffic, subscription emails may be delayed.

I'm thinking of making another MOD that puts Reported Posts into the mod que at the point of those posts being reported, its really simple and easy to do. If a user reports a post, then they are asking for a member of staff to review that post, so it makes sense to me that it should happen that way.

Or what I did was just change the cron times. Made it run more often. This is if your host is decent since cron can make the site run slow

Moving flagged posts to the Mod queue sounds interesting Lee - if can limit to certain groups
-some forum users would be flagging everything if they had that power:)

I'm currently using FractilizeR to show Moderator notifications
which I combine with yours to also email them.

Are you thinking about doing your own version to do everything?

Do you have active visitors browsing your forum, i ask because this MOD runs via a cron task and cron tasks only get processed as people visit pages of your forum?

Be sure to have a space inbetween each email address, can you access your servers mail logs to make sure the emails did leave the server?

Hi, sorry for the delay in getting back to you!

Could it be that one of your "mods" is getting to the items waiting before the other mods check/get the email and so when they go to the queue its empty?

Hi, in the error message "Permission denied" would suggest there is a problem with file permissions for the .xml file you uploaded to the server, what permission dose this file have?

My file permission is set to 644 and this works just fine for me/my server setup, let me know and we can hopefully get this working for you.

thanks for your reply, the current permissions are at 644, is like giving the error, I've risen to 777 and stops giving error but so clear I guess I can not leave them for safety reasons, there would be some other solution?, although that mistake, I'll keep using it, I'm doing well, thanks for your help.

Morning,

Humm, with out seeing your server setup its hard to tell...

What permissions for /includes and also /includes/xml folders?

If you have no need for xml support (i.e - Support for external applications and their development (xml based status)), then i can make you a custom version of this mod (vbmqn.php), just simple upload of 1 file. Just let me know.

G'day Lee, thankyou for your work mate, this looks like it will be a perfect fit for us!

I've installed and copied the files across and am just awaiting some moderated posts to test. After running the scheduled task manually (vB 4.2.1), I've got the following output. It looks like it can't find the files, although they are both where they should be. Any ideas mate?

vBMQN

Warning: include_once([path]/./includes/cron/vbmqn.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 116

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '[path]/./includes/cron/vbmqn.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/celluieo/php') in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 116

Done

Cheers!

1.) Did you by chance rename your admincp directory in Admin Control Panel?

2.) If your not scared of editing your files, you can go to the error-ed line and dump the current working directory. If the files are where they are suppose to be, then your current working directory has been altered for some reason.

Of course this only works if your testing the mod on a test board, which you should be doing.


$cwd = getcwd(); vardump($cwd); die(); //Will display the current working directory

2.) If your not scared of editing your files, you can go to the error-ed line and dump the current working directory. If the files are where they are suppose to be, then your current working directory has been altered for some reason.

Of course this only works if your testing the mod on a test board, which you should be doing.


$cwd = getcwd(); vardump($cwd); die(); //Will display the current working directory


Thanks again for your help bud. Funnily enough, it works just fine in our testbed - e-mails and all.

As such, I went to deploy it and ran into this.

The good news is that a re-upload of the working files, and a re-install of the product now sees it working beautifully. This will be a great addition to our little forum - thanks again to you both!

Hi, Really like this as it helps us manage the moderation queue.

One thing that is bugging my moderators is that they are getting multiple emails each time something is in the queue.

1 item in the queue last night prompted 19 emails to the moderators to tell them there was an item there.

I've always had multiple emails, but this is the most so far.

Do I have something wrong, or is there something I can change?

I've never had any trouble with this mod.

It all depends on your settings in Scheduled Task Manager for vBMQN
How many times each day does it run?
ie: every time it runs it will send out an email - until the Mod Queue is cleared

I think by default it may be set to run every half hour
so until the Mod Queue is cleared - you may get upto 48 emails each day

I currently have it set to run only once per day since my site isn't as busy as most others
so it will then check the moderation queue once a day
and then send out one email per day - if anything is waiting.


PS: somehow this never made Mod of the Month
so resubmitting it myself :up:

PS2: now if only Lee could also make it show a list of what is in the Mod Queue in each email
and then send out a final email when the queue is cleared
then it would be worth an extra slice of pizza :)

Great Mod. I second the suggestion for sending out an email when the queue has been cleared but my guess is that may require a separate mod.
