Recycle Bin & Moderator Log

[Sasq]

THIS IS A REAL BETA HACK, DO NOT INSTALL ON A LIVE BOARD

Ok, I brought up the idea over in this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47244) .

Here is a BETA hack for a recycle bin and mod logging system I've been working on.

It logs all mod activity for editing/deleting posts, moving threads etc. all admin selectable to log or not.
It creates a Forum (preferably hidden) to hold all the deleted threads - the logging function takes care of where they are from and who put them there.

It also dumps a copy of all user or mod (and admin) posts into an edited posts thread, also all deleted posts are dumped into a deleted posts thread.

Most of the logging is sorted, and configurable, I've probably forgotten something somewhere - which is why this is beta ;)

The log info in the admin display is functional but still needs some work. I think the actual recycle logging functions themselves are up to scratch.

More (short ) notes in the readme.

I repeat do not install this hack on a live board

On the installer, this is probably more beta then the actual hack, thanks to firefly (Chen) for letting me borrow some of his hack installer code.

The installer works with a vanilla install of 2.2.9 but i have no idea what it will do with a hacked board, or different versions.

Also the hack itself is only tested on 2.2.9

The installer will (if you let it) install all of the forums, threads, templates and even do the file mod's. There is also a FTP function to ftp locally if you don't have chmod 777 set, failing direct file access or ftp, you can choose to download the hacked file without having to do all the edits by hand. (damn that took me some working)

The installer is still a little raw, I'll work on it more with some feed back.

Now what the hack actually does.

On the straight logging side.
How much and what is logged is selectable via the script in the admin CP
Code has been added to make an entry in the logdata table each time, a mod or user edits, deletes, opens, closes, sticks - basically everything.. a thread or a post.
(I think I have it logging all relevant information, but I may have missed something.)
You are then able to view the log history in the admin CP, also in the admin CP you can clear the logs, view stats, track down actions by a specific user.
I am working on a function to allow you to rebuild the thread and show edits/deletes as they happened in the timeline, but this part is not a high priority atm for me.

On the Recycle bin side.
-Uses the logging functions to keep track of the threads/posts.
The installer set up the recycle bin forum as a Posts do not count forum.
Most of the larger code inserts keep track of the posts/threads and provide undelete/full delete functions.
the main index.php has a small code insert to hide how many posts/threads are in the recycle bin forum from showing on the main page.
When a post/thread is deleted, the post count is still reduced form the users file, and the posts are unindexed from the search index.
If a thread/post is undeleted, the post counts are increased and the posts are re added to the search index.
If you 'return' an original post after editing, nothing changes with post counts etc.
The code also protects the Edited posts header post, and the Deleted posts header post. so while in the recycle bin, if you choose to 'full delete' either thread the main post and thread remains intact.

See this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=339791#post339791) for pics

I will try to dig up some older versions of vBB to check the installer with them..


Bugs....

Probably lots, but nothing really worrying that i can see

Todo
Better install instructions
Fix up the admin cp script so its pretty.
Make the Install script a little more stable.
Add anything that you think would be good, and won't take me another 10 solid days to program (I think the wife is going to leave me :speechless: )

Fixed:
Fixed - hopefully - the forum and post creation section on hacked forums

I'm looking forward to feed back etc

This hack is free, but I won't say no to paypal donations for a damn big beer ;)

Dan

Edit, uploaded a new zip file due to a bug in the alternate download section of the installer.

[N9ne]

Thanks for beta releasing this, I will be sure to test it out once my server is setup :).

[Sasq]

Well, being honest I have the actual hack itself running in production.. - I'm more scared about the installe ;)

[Dean C]

Well i'll give it a try locally if i get a chance and let you know how i get on :)

It won't be til this weeekend at least though :)

Thanks for releasing the hack btw :D

Please explain what you mean by not installing on a live board. Where else would the hack go? Do mean just turn it off while you install the hack? And what does Beta mean?

I really want to install the hack but I don't know what the warmings mean.

A test board.


And what does Beta mean?

This means that its unfinished and may not be suitable for a production site (IE your live forums with real visitiors). However it should be reasonably stable without too many bugs.

[Sasq]

Another thing on my todo list is write a better intro... :)

Basically the hack itself works, and while it does add any new columns to any of the vBB tables - it uses two of its own. It does require 39 ~ 40 small file inserts to handle the logging, and keep the recycle bin function behaving. Also it uses about 9 templates I'll add more info as to what goes on in the first post in a bit.

At this stage, if you have an un hacked 2.2.9 board, it *should* install without *any* problems. It it goes fubar, just copy those files that it altered back, drop the recycle bin forum it creates and the extra templates. And all *should* be well.

BUT at this point I'm not willing to say that all WILL be well. I do have to try to dig up some older versions of vBB to see how the hack responds to them.

I'll also try to make some screen shots and post them up in a bit.

Dan

[Sasq]

Ok, here are some pics showing you what the hack looks like.

Like I Said the actual log viewer, needs to be made a little prettier but most of the needed functionality is there.

Dan

[bitbender]

/me will try it on a 2.2.6 "moderately hacked" test board *clicks* download

[Sasq]

My main problem with testing previous versions... I'm not the main licence holder, just the code moneky for my forum.
I used to have 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 but i lost it in a hard drive crash..

Must check if I can get my hands on older versions.

Dan

[alkatraz]

Can't wait to see a final version of this! Great job!

[Sasq]

Uploaded a new zip due to a bug in the installer package, - downloading the patched file produced a 0 length file.

[MetroSports82]

this is awesome. keep up the good work sasg! :)

Metro.

[Sasq]

Ok, a few of you have downloaded this.
I need feedback on the installer. any bugs/misses/did it find all the code to patch.

and if it did miss any patches what ver of vbb and which file/which patch would be great.

Dan

[bitbender]

It's on my schedule for today, I'll post back, shortly, sasg :)

Being a full time engineer sure can interrupt a guys time from what I really LIKE doing!! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2003/01/2.gif

[N9ne]

I think for some, who have very hacked boards, it would be a good idea for you to include a .txt file with instructions. (I think you said something about being able to create one from the installer, but to save time, creating it and putting it in the .zip would be more convenient ;))

[Sasq]

Yeah a nice text file is on my to do list. But I'm sorta busy with other stuff atm - damn back to work today :(
Well at least make the installer spit up the data a little eaiser..

But as I've also said, this is not a simple hack to install, if you really want to add each part by hand..

What I will do get the installer to spit up a html page with the changes to your actual script so you can compare it to the changes that need to be made.

Also get it to list only the mods that didn't install - for the partially patched download.

Dan

[Sasq]

Ok, do appologise for the lack of updates to the install and work on the admin log section.

Our host has just upgraded our server, and now I'm busy stamping out brushfires -like collapsing databases. - sigh

[XIanX]

I've had this hack installed for about a week now and I'm really loving it except one thing. All the posts in my Gamecube forum(It's a gaming forum) sometimes end up getting placed in the Recycle Bin. To fix this, I have Mass Move the threads back in. It doesn't happen when I do anything specific, it just randomly it seems to do this.

[Sasq]

Work has been really busy recently. I'll try to get to it on the weekend - as long as they leave me alone long enough ;)

It would be great if you could dump me the relevant part of the log - hopefully its logging something when it moves the threads. it might help me to work out whats going on

Dan

ps pm me and i'll give you my private email address so you can email it to me

[XIanX]

I seem to have fixed the problem by re-creating the Recycle Bin forum and setting up the configuration again. Theirs a template error in the "Edited Posts/Deleted Posts(I forgot which one)" template for this hack. The link to the "Original Thread" wasn't pointing to the correct location, a simple edit fixed this.

I'm also recieving a JavaScript error when I view one of the threads dedicated to Edited/Deleted posts. The exact error is:Line: 55
Char: 1
Error: Expected '}'
Code: 0

The relevent code relating to this error starts on Line 51:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function aimwindow(aimid) {
window.open("member.php?s=&action=aimmessage&aim="+aimid,"_blank","toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,wi dth=175,height=275,resizeable=yes,status=no")

<!-- logo and buttons -->I hope this helps. I did not take the time to investigate the JavaScript error.

[Sasq]

Do you have your admin folder in a non standard directory, or is it per standard setup?

Dan

[Patrick]

I got an error at line 58 of index.php relating to getlogset();
It really fugged up something, but I managed to get it back to working. It also did NOT complete the install when it said it did, so it did a half-job of it. Basically it did the forums/thread/post, as well as the forums/index.php modification, but no others. It may have gotten to the templates/mysql mods, but I can't verify that right now.

If you have any suggestions as to a cause of this, please let me know.

[Sasq]

Again the install package is pretty well beta. so any information is appreciated. each page will give feedback on if that particular section was modded, I notice the errors you posted originally.
I will hopefully have time to look this weekend.

I do appologise about being busy, I just have lots of work and family related issues atm.

Dan

[Patrick]

Dan,

I was able to fix the errors originally by chmodding all files to 777. Then I went through an automatic install, nothing manual. I had it do all the mods, and it said it completed successfully. When I went to confirm this, all I saw that it did was make the changes in index.html of forums dir. It also added the 1 forum and both threads and both posts. Other than that, it didn't finish the install. When you get the time, much help would be appreciated as this is an excellent hack I'd like to see operational. :)

[Sasq]

Ok, had a little trouble having a look at your forum. your script didn't like me comeing from Japan so much.

It shouldn't write to index.html at all. Of the top of my head the only thing i can think is the install is hard coded to deal with .php extentions and the default file directories. if you are running the php3 version it won't be able to find the files.

Dan

[350Chevy]

Any updates or progress on this? :)

[350Chevy]

I have 40+ hacks installed and this installed just fine. I had to edit a few of the files (index.php) and one line in the Functions.php but it all seems to be working properly except for the admin panel...

If I click on Configure Mod Logging or the Mod & Recycle bin log link I get this error:


Warning: Failed opening '/home/*******/****/forums/admin/modlog2.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0

[350Chevy]

Nevermind.. it was a permissions thing.. All works 100%

[Sasq]

Yeah, planning on a more useful admin panel section, and any/all feedback on the installer glitches is welcomed.
the installer is more beta then the actual hack.

got a few code glitches to work through and then should all be purty.

I'm just in the process of leaving my current job (end of the month) so I'm pretty busy atm, planning on getting more done with this hack post leaving.

Dan

[350Chevy]

The install seemed to work pretty good. I backed up everything before hand just in case (knowing all the hacks I've done.)

I figured with everything I did to the board that something would go whacky but it all went very well. Very nice hack indeed and my Admin are now happier than two peas in a pod. :D

[Sasq]

Sweet :D
I know i have some work to do on the admin panel side of life, but any reqests - and i know there are a few old ones in this thread i still need to get to - damn salt mines job - I'll do my best to improve functionality just after the end of the month.

Dan

[The Red Devil]

Tried to install it on my board 2.3.0 and got this sql error
Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO forum VALUES (NULL, 1, 'RCBforum', '', 1, 1, 0, 0, '', 0, 1, 1, 30, '', '', 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, -1, '', 1, 0, 0)
mysql error: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

mysql error number: 1136

[Sasq]

I havn't had a chance to play with 2.3.0 yet, the problem is only a change in the way column numbers...

However give me a little time to get 2.3.0 to play with it, not sure what changes they have made

Dan

[Xenon]

these changes seems to be because of an hack.

i won't ever use a query like INSERT INTO table VALUES (...)

because it would mean you know the correct sortorder and ammount of tablefields

always use:
INSERT INTO table (fierld1, field2, ...) VALUES (...)

[Sasq]

yup, that was on my to change list ;) I had the same problem this weekend due to vbportal on our test board.

Just waiting for evil job to finish and I'll release an updated installer.

Dan

[Mike11212]

when will this hack be out of beta any release date?

[350Chevy]

I just upgraded to 2.3.0 RC3 and all 40+ hacks I have installed including this one work like a charm. ;)

[Sasq]

its beta mostly due to the fact I havn't gotten around to pollishing the admin cp script.

As you may have noticed the installer is more beta then anything else...

I'm hopeing to fix the stuff that needs to be fixed at the begining of next month, then after testing it will hopefully go gold :)

[MetroSports82]

Are there any plans, for further updates to improve this hack, or is this final?

thanks,
Metro.

[Sasq]

Apart from bug fixes, in the install, some work in the report script and a few bugs here and there its more or less good to go.
I've been very busy recently with getting ready to leave my Job, as well as my primary BB.

Left the job on monday this week, been spending some QT with the wife, and I should get some coding time early next week - Oh god I hope i can get some codeing time next week

Dan

[Holidazed]

I get the error during the installation

You have an error in your SQL syntax near '$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum VALUES (NULL, 1, 'RCBforum', '', 1, 1, 0, 0, ' at line 1

I get this when installing with the default values or when I try to do it manually. However, I get zero instruction on the screen (in manual mode) for setting up the database and noting in the readme file either.

[Sasq]

That is a bug - I should be able to get to withing the next 24 hours - wife and QT permitting.

Dan

[Sasq]

Ok, the installer is fixed regarding the forum creation errors.

I'll do my best to get to other stuff soon.

Zzed, I'm most interested what was the fault...

Dan

There were 2 problems.

index.php had been reduced to a 0 byte file, which I restored from the backup copies created by emacs.

The file permissions on forumdisplay.php had changed to -rw-rw--w-. Since Apache is not the same user and usergroup as Sue's ID on the server it had no read permission to read that file and hence the error message would pop. ;) I cured that puppy with a chmod 644 forumdisplay.php. :D

[Sasq]

Ok, my next question .... (probably for Sue) when you installed it, did you use the ftp update or the direct file update?

I'm not quite sure why it would have changed the permissions... I'll have to check, but the more info I can get on the install the better chance I have of makeing sure it never happens again.

Zzed if this hack is still installed, the only lines for index.php are related to keeping the postcount/threadcount from the bin hidden on the main page... two lines. I'm not at my main box atm so if you need them I'll have to drag them up later..

Dan

[Zzed]

I am not sure how index.php got clubbered, or how the permissions on forumdisplay.php changed sonce Sue was the one who did the install.

I was just fortunate enough to have shell access and had installed some of my hacks for her and ended up with backup copies.

I may have to reinstall your hack for her again.

My guess is that the FTP program she used may have been the culprit here. I prefer to edit files on site. ;)

P.S. I told Sue earlier that I was going to kill her. :laugh::banana: I was kidding of course. :)

[Sasq]

hehe np, when you find out if you can let me know...

Thanks

Dan

[Radgam]

This is a great hack! I'll be running it offline for a little while (until it's released as stable) and i'll report any bugs :)

How's progress on this ? :)

[Radgam]

Installation Bugs ###############################

------------------------------------------------
loginstall.php :: admin/functions.php :: Modification No.2

there are two modifications called Modification No.2. Doesn't bother me, but just thought i'd say.

------------------------------------------------
loginstall.php :: admin/functions.php :: Modification No.13

the modification details say
// ###################### Start delete post #######################
function deletepost($postid,$countposts=1,$threadid=0, $stoplog=0) {
global $DB_site, $bbuserinfo;

// decrement user post count
if ($postinfo=getpostinfo($postid)) {
if ($countposts) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts-1 WHERE userid='$postinfo[userid]'");
}

//log mod


However, you check later whether or not post counts should be updated so:

// decrement user post count
if ($postinfo=getpostinfo($postid)) {
if ($countposts) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts-1 WHERE userid='$postinfo[userid]'");
}

should be but highlighted in red (as it needs to be removed otherwise post counts are updated incorrectly)
There's also a problem related to this, see the editpost section ;)


------------------------------------------------
loginstall.php :: editpost.php :: Modification No.2 to 4

Modification No.2

//delete just this post
$foruminfo=getforuminfo($threadinfo[forumid]);
deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);

$logperms=deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);
$threadreturn=$threadinfo[threadid];

updatethreadcount($threadinfo[threadid]);
updateforumcount($threadinfo[forumid]);



Modification No.3

updatethreadcount($threadinfo[threadid]);
updateforumcount($threadinfo[forumid]);

updatethreadcount($logperms[delpost]);//modlog
updateforumcount($logperms[recforumid]); //modlog

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_deletepost")."\",
\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]\");");



Modification No.4

$threadinfo[threadid]$threadreturn



Just a couple of things i'd like to query here:

Modification No.2:
"$logperms=deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);
$threadreturn=$threadinfo[threadid];"

Those two added lines don't actually seem nessesary.
Firstly, you've already called the deletepost function on the line above so when i deleted the line
"$logperms=deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);" everything still worked fine.

Also, the variable $threadinfo[threadid] doesn't actually change at any point (as far as i can see) the line to copy it to a new variable isn't needed.

Point two means that Modification No.4 wouldn't be needed.
I think modification 2 and 4 can really be skipped :)

No issues would Modification No.3 ;)


------------------------------------------------
loginstall.php :: showthread.php :: Modification No.3

$viewattachedimages=0;
}

$postbits = getpostbit($post);

//modlog
// with rest of modlog code following here

this line (the one just above //modlog):
$postbits = getpostbit($post);

should be highlighted in red (it needs to be removed). Otherwise the postbit template appears twice per post

------------------------------------------------
loginstall.php :: showthread.php :: Modification No.7

//$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

//modlog
// with rest of modlog code following here

this line (the one just above //modlog):
$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

should be highlighted in red (it needs to be removed). Otherwise the postbit template appears twice per post

------------------------------------------------
loginstall.php :: showthread.php :: Modification No.8

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("showthread")."\");");

//modlog
// with rest of modlog code following here

this line (the one just above //modlog):
//eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("showthread")."\");");

should be highlighted in red (it needs to be removed). If not, the script never gets to the //modlog code that follows (which also outputs the template anyway!)

################################################## ############

Notes:
Tested on vb2.2.9 | Don't know if it works on vb2.3.0, can't get it
Tried both automatic and manual installation options.

Find it works best if everything is done automatically, except for template changes.


General Bugs ###############################

Problems when users have weird usernames. Here's my example one (the quotes are part of it):
"';:*->Test<-*:;'"

I think you need to use addslashes() when entering info into the logs table, i'll test this later.
=============

/* -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Listed this problem already, check my earlier notes on editpost.php and admin/functions.php

If a user deletes their own post, their post count becomes 0. If they delete their own thread, the post count is updated correctly.

I think (really, not sure here) that this line in admin/functions.php
- just after function deletepost($postid,$countposts=1,$threadid=0, $stoplog=0) {:

Find:
// decrement user post count
if ($postinfo=getpostinfo($postid)) {
if ($countposts) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts-1 WHERE userid='$postinfo[userid]'");
}

This needs to be changed to just:

// decrement user post count
if ($postinfo=getpostinfo($postid)) {
/*if ($countposts) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts-1 WHERE userid='$postinfo[userid]'");
}*/

This is because you check later whether or not post counts should be updated (incase posts are being deleted from the log forum, etc).


The second modification (this time in edit.php):

Find:

} else {
//delete just this post
$foruminfo=getforuminfo($threadinfo[forumid]);
deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);

$logperms=deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);
$threadreturn=$threadinfo[threadid];



Should become:


} else {
//delete just this post
$foruminfo=getforuminfo($threadinfo[forumid]);
deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);

//$logperms=deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);
$threadreturn=$threadinfo[threadid];


otherwise, again, the post count seems to be done twice. It seems to work fine when that line is removed. Everything is still logged correctly.
=============
Listed this problem already
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= */


But that's it. This hack is absolutely brilliant!
Much thanks :)


[ mY edit note:
Corrected one or two things i wrote originally.
Listed a bit more details ;)

If you're unsure what i'm on about with anything you can email me at
info@radgam.fsworld.co.uk ]

[Karbon]

I succesfully installed this hack on 2.2.9, with no errors during the install. I went to the forum index page and recieved this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getlogset() in /....../httpdocs/forums/index.php on line 50

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you for creating this hack (even though it isn't working for me yet :D )

[Radgam]

Check your email ;)

[The Red Devil]

I got the same error as Karbon. Ive installed it on 2.3.0. Didnt get any errors, but I noticed the admin commands dont appear either so it seems it havnt changed some files as it should.

[Radgam]

It seems to be a problem with the automated installer. It works best if you do the file mods by hand :)

[The Red Devil]

ah, I guessed it was something like that. I usally dont like to run those automatic programs cause you never know what they do. But I guess I gotta sit down someday and break it down, so I find out where to do the changes. (Or is there released a howto txt file ? I havnt seen one at least)

Anyway thanks for the reply.

[Radgam]

There sure is :)
If you select to do the code modifications by hand the last step will have a link for each file that needs modified with a list of all the changes but there are a few bugs which you should check on previous page.

I'm hoping to attach the updates/fixes to the file changes later but i've been a bit caught up with stuff the past few days :/

[The Red Devil]

ah ok, Ill try that. Just one more question, does it run any of the queries if I chose "by hand" ? Kinda dont want the script to do anything again.

[Radgam]

No, although if you let it do everything except file modifications it turns out pretty good :)

Love this hack. Works absolutely fine except for the installation. It all installed except for the editpost.php and admin/functions which I had to edit myself manually. Everything is perfect. I installed it on a vb 2.30 board btw with vbportal 2.30 aswell to. The other thing is that the system doesn't show up in the admin cp. I just manually added it in but just letting you know.

Great hack ;)
Hope those vb guys are watching this one cos its very very useful.

i need to change my editpost.php manualy. I dont understand this:
Modification No.4
The Highlighted text indicates the modification that has been done.
The Highlighted text indicates script that has been removed.

$threadinfo[threadid]$threadreturn

the $threadinfo[threadid] is red.

I would love to use this, but No offence to you, do to the rapid changes in vbulletin, the file editing portion of the installer is really crappy. You need to make MUCH better manual install instructions, b/c i get a parse error in every file i do. :(

I know it's been asked, but there's a real need for this on a board, and don't want to install unless it's out of beta and all is well.

Has this passed the beta stage?
