Quick Ban

[Gary King]

<font size="3">What does this hack do?</font>

This hack changes the Report this post to a moderator button to a link to quickly ban the user, if the user clicking the link is either an administrator, supermoderator, or moderator, and has the right permissions to ban the user. But, if the user is either an admin, supermod, or mod, then the link will be a regular report link again.

The advantage about this hack is that you don't have to go all the way to the mod cp to ban a user, if you have the right permissions to, because you don't need to report the post then, anyways.

This is convenient. Thank you!

I get this error...

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /public_html/forums/admin/functions.php on line 324

EDIT: I am using 2.2.9. I just noticed this is for 2.3.2 maybe that's why?

[Remi]

Thank you very much Gary, great hack. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/19.gif

And also, this will add at least 3 queries per post on showthread, so if you have 10 posts displayed on showthread on each page, you can expect an additional 30 queries on your page.

It's less than 30, usually 20 or so (it doesn't add any extra queries ;))

Download the installation file again, and follow the instructions within.
Let me know if you run into any problems :)

[Logician]

nice idea :)

[MaDCaT75]

Personally I think banning someone is useless. They just come back and cause more trouble. I just put the miserable user hack on em.

Yep, just add the miserable usergroup id to the hack, then the "banned" users will be moved to the miserable group instead ;)

[MaDCaT75]

There is a hack by N9ne (or me) that tells you the ID of each usergroup, try that.

That hack I made was for convenience, it's a tiny hack but I thought i'd make it because I was bored.

Just hover over the usergroup's title or edit button or whatever in the AdminCP usergroup listings and it will show you the id in the status bar.

[MaDCaT75]

I know thats the problem there is no miserable usergroup in the list of usergroups. Thats why I asked how to find it out.

[Gary King]

For the miserable users hack, if the miserable users don't change usergroups (if they stay in Registered usergroup, etc.) then you can move them to their own usergroup, then apply this hack as well.

[MaDCaT75]

Bah too much work lol

[Gary King]

So lazy :p

[Kriek]

Got this working via 2.3.0 w/ few minor modifications. I also amended the script to display the entire link in the $reportpost variable, so non-staff would see Report to Mod and staff would see Ban User as a text link.

* Kriek licks install

[PMantis24]

I get this error message in 2.3.0

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/v6p/public_html/forums/admin/functions.php on line 391

Line 390 to 401:

$reportpost="mod/user.php?action=ban&userid=".$post['userid'].$qbgroup;
}
else {
$reportpost="report.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]";

Any ideas?

[Gary King]

Try putting global $DB_site; before all that code.
