[Andreas]

First Post reserved (don't know yet for what though) :D

[Roxie]

So does this mean you can set it so certain users cannot use sigs etc?

[Jenta]

nice idea
tackle the problem at the user level instead of creating usergroups for this group and that group

So does this mean you can set it so certain users cannot use sigs etc?
yeah, like if u have a problem user or whatever reason

[Andreas]

@Roxie
Yes

@Jenta
Well, Usergroups are another way to achieve this.

batting a 1000, KirbyDE

:classic:

[Andreas]

Could somebody enlighten me as to what "batting" does mean?

[Roxie]

hmmm. Something with baseball?

Anyway, I love it! Took seconds to install. Thx.

[Zachariah]

Could somebody enlighten me as to what "batting" does mean?


In baseball, batting is the act of facing the opposing pitcher and trying to produce offense for one's team. A batter or hitter is a person whose turn it is to face the pitcher. The goals of batters are to produce runs, but the techniques and strategies they use to do so vary. The main three goals of batters are to become a baserunner, drive runners home, or advance runners along the bases for others to drive home.


Batting 1000% means a person hits every ball pitched. I was refering to you making plugs and hacks for vb3.5

:nervous:

[Boofo]

Will this interfere with something like the Signatures per forum mod or the Avatars per forum mod? And which would override which? ;)

[Andreas]

It Overwrites the Users Permissions.

I don't have Options to enable/disable Avatars/signatures per Forum?

[Boofo]

It Overwrites the Users Permissions.

I don't have Options to enable/disable Avatars/signatures per Forum?

hellsatan made an plug-in to do that. Should I un-install that one?

[Andreas]

Does not interfere; both Plugins should work together.

[Boofo]

Great, thanks! ;)

[Mephisteus]

Great work kirby!

[Chris M]

@Boobfew - As I understand it, if the forum allows them and the user cannot have them then they will not show up - If the user can have them and the forum allows them then they will show up - If the user can have them but the forum does not allow them, then they will not show up :)

Great! then I am all set. This will work that same way with you avatars per forum mod. ;)

Updated: Added "Admin Enforced Ignore"

Updated: Added "Admin Enforced Ignore"

Maybe I'm just being stupid but where is that located?

[Andreas]

User Manager, as the other Settings are too.

[Boofo]

The old file is still up for download, Kirby. And, yes, I cleared my cache. ;)

[Andreas]

You know me bob ;)
Is it the right Version now?

[Boofo]

LOL Yes, it is right now. ;)

[eXtremeTim]

I have mysql errors with this when I try to edit my buddylist. I only noticed it becuase vba gallery was spitting hella errors at me from this lol. Since it uses the ignore list. I will recreate the error and post it here when I wake up. If you still need it.

[Andreas]

Yes, please post the error. Don't see a reason what could be causing it ...

[eXtremeTim]

[eXtremeTim]

So what was it?

A Space ;)

[peterska2]

/me clicks install

[The Wise One]

installed. will be very useful to us.

[SnowBot]

WOW looks nice, will install this mate. Thanks for sharing your work :)

[Robbed]

When creating new users from the Admin CP, all the settings are set to lock or disabled by default.

Is their a way to have them enabled by default.

Thanks

[Andreas]

@Robbed
Changed.
Never thought anybody would add new users through ACP ^.^

[Robbed]

Thanks Alot, sometimes we get arequest to create accounts for developers etc.. and we just send them the info.

[Andyrew]

Thanks works a treat. :up:

[Keyser S?ze]

excellent hack, ive requested it many times

thanks

*installs*

[Xplorer4x4]

Maybe I am missing something but isn;t this all default featuers in user edit??

[Andreas]

Maybe I am missing something but isn;t this all default featuers in user edit??
I don't understand this question.

[cynix2]

im wondering if this will interfere with the advanced warning system?
it has options for disable sig, ava, and pms, if the user's warning level is high enough

just checking

[Andreas]

No. Should play together nicely.

[one9er]

Great plugin thanks.

[ragintajin]

Is this still in beta? According to the checkbox it is...

[Andreas]

Yes it is.
Probably will always be :)

[Chris M]

Any plans to add a postbit-side feature? ;)

There was a hack for vB2 and possibly vB3 that allowed Admins & Mods to edit signatures & avatars from the postbit, by clicking the link and having a popup window displayed - Simply being able to disable them (via an AJAX click cos me likes teh AJAX) would be teh coolies :D

Chris

[Xplorer4x4]

I don't understand this question.

I was thinking that these are all stock features when editing a user, but if I understand correctly the purpose of this hack is to disable the user from editing there sig,profile and etc??

I don;t really understand what this hack does? :o

So what exactly do you not understand here?

[AquilaEagle]

Nice! :)

[ForYou]

Hello ,

is there away to disable change password and email address ,

please if there is please let us know

regards

[da prez]

is there anyway to make this lock the avatar to one the admin chooses ?

i know it will keep them from using a custom one, but i would like them to have to keep the one we/i give em, on a per user basis.

[Andreas]

Set their Avatar, then set it to locked - thne they should not be able to use another custom one.
However, I think they can use standard avatars.

[da prez]

could it be changed so they couldn't pick any avatar ?

or maybe just get an error message when they try ?

[Vtec44]

Great hack Andreas! I tried to use the Admin Force Ignore, but the person is still able to see "This message is hidden because User Name is on your ignore list." message, and is able to view the post by clicking on the View Post link. Is there a way to hide this completely, like Tachy Goes To Coventry option, including the last post column and the ignore list in the user cp? Thanks :)

[Andreas]

This is the way individual ignore does work, don't think it is possible to do it like tachy - as tachy requires counter updates, which can't be done as it wouldn't be a system wide tachy.
But you might be able to just modify the postbit_ignore template.

[Nathan2006]

Thank you Andreas this works great!

Just one problem is there anyway to disable the custom Avatars for a single user?

Thanks again

[Luke Brown256]

Hi i have been using this mod for ages, i was wondering if it will be ported to 3.6?
or will it work as it is in 3.6?

[ZombieAndy]

how about modifying it so my super moderators can use it too?

[sillystuie]

good hack - thanks (install)

[vengefuldeath87]

ive just installed it on 3.6, and it appears to be fine.

[bairy]

ive just installed it on 3.6, and it appears to be fine.
Agreed, everything works fine on 3.6.0 Final
I'm not sure the PM disabling will work on 3.6.1 as they've slightly changed how it works.

[redlabour]

[rareclownfish]

Great hack, is there away to add an overide for Invisible Mode?

[bairy]

You can turn invisible mode on/off in a member's user options though of course they can put it back. Or you can enable/disable per usergroup.
Unless you mean is there a way to stop them going invisible on a user-by-user basis.

[Keyser S?ze]

in 3.6.2 the sig part works however the avatar part does not, can anyone help?

[beano33]

Works perfectly for me in 3.6.3

[Freak0204]

Thank you so much for this!!

Installed!

[Dabbi]

Hi...

I'm sorry to drag this up from the past but although I've tried using Search, I'm not finding a newer version of this and could really use the Admin Forced Ignore feature. We're using version 3.6.7L Will this work for this version? I'm very new to this vB admin stuff and hesitant to mess with things too much.

Thanks for any help. :)

[TigerWare]

I use this no problem on 3.6.7 and up without any problem.

[Dabbi]

Thank you for getting back to me TigerWare. :)

Hopefully it's not to difficult to install and use.

edited to ask.. I've DLd it, read the instructions but don't see anything that tells me where abouts do I install genpermoverride.xml? Directions would be very helpful and appreciated, thanks. :cool:

[Biker_GA]

Kirby, a suggestion for future versions.... It would be nice to be able to prohibit a user from turning OFF their PM function. The admins on our site use PMs to notify members of infractions, etc. and we have a couple of users who have turned off their PM function. We'd like the ability to force the PM function on, on a user by user basis.

[TigerWare]

Thank you for getting back to me TigerWare. :)

Hopefully it's not to difficult to install and use.

No problem. To answer your question, see this article [link (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=149588)] scroll to section 2 "Importing A Product".

[Dabbi]

TigerWare - Thank you! That "instructions" page is now Bookmarked and moved to a spot where I can find it easily. :)

This product is installed now and I was pleasantly surprised that it so much easier then I had anticipated. :cool:

[redlabour]

Does this still work for 3.7 ?

[Andreas]

It should.

[treefrog]

We're using 3.7.0, and every time we try to save a name in the Forced Ignore portion it will not save it. No error message or anything...it's just not there when we go back to that user (and the names added to the ignore list are not blocked). All other changes using this hack are saved when we toggle them.

Any idea what the problem could be?

[Andreas]

You must enter IDs, not Usernames.

[Boofo]

Since the Admin override for the custom profile pic and custom avatar are part of 3.7 now, will installing this cause any problems with that at all?

[Raptor]

Tested on vb 3.7.1 PL1 - 100% perfect, thanks

[attroll]

I would love to see the "Admin Enforced Ignore" part of this as a seperate mod because I do not need all the other options as they are now in 3.7.0.

[Andreas]

as they are now in 3.7.0.
Hmm ... are they?

For example, how would you lock PMs for a single user using vBulletin 3.7 Out-of-the Box funcionality without having to create a special usergroup?

[attroll]

My bust, I did not realize this was for idividual users. Now that I realize that I jsut installed it.

I would still like to know if this will cause any problems.

[valdet]

Andreas, this is just what I was looking for. Thanks for your time.

I used the Admin Enforced Ignore and few problematic users are now on the ignore lists of each other.

In regards to "This message is hidden because User Name is on your ignore list." message, I hid the postbit_ignore template from users with a conditional so only admin can see that template.

What I would like to ask, is if there is a way to also disable the checkbox for the specific users on User's CP? This is because they could go to their CP and remove each other from their Ignore List.

Please see this screenshot.

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/3303/ignorero6.jpg

In User Editor from vB Admin Panel, it says:

Admin Enforced Ignore
Here you can put Userids (spearated by space) that this User should ignore; he will not be able to unignore them

But as you see from the picture its still there. I am still on vB 3.6.7

Thanks

[Andreas]

This is because they could go to their CP and remove each other from their Ignore List.
They can't. Well yes, they could remove the checkbox and save the list - but when they refresh the page the checkbox is there again.
This is working as designed: The users are not really permanently added to the other users ignorelist - in fact the admin set ignoreliste is added to the users ignorelist at runtime, no matter who they may or may not have on their list.

[rajosing]

i install this mod but cant find this options please tell me from where i can see this options

[attroll]

i install this mod but cant find this options please tell me from where i can see this options
It is in each individuals users profile setting in your ADMINCP

[thestaton]

installed. works great in 3.7

[Lovinmysailor]

Thanks!

[Raptor]

Works ok on vb 3.8.1

[syedrehan84]

Users are still able to view posts through searching for a particular user. Any workaround for that?

[Konstantinos]

it works but gives a foreach error when edit user in admin cp user.php 3.8.2 any similar mod like this ?

[Outbackmark]

Works fine on my sites, I have both 3.8.2 and 3.8.3 running.

Sorry, I can't reproduce this.

[jeremyalyea]

Thank you!!! working in 3.6.x. Perfect solution to force users to ignore each other.

[Phaedrus]

Thank you!!! working in 3.6.x. Perfect solution to force users to ignore each other.

I just need it to make the forced ignore so that they don't have an option to "view post" and...

Maybe I'll just blank out the postbit_ignore template, they shouldn't be able to see anything then... of course neither would my regular users.

:dunno:

Would it be possible to make it so it adds them to the global ignore?

[aleclee]

Does anyone know if this works in VB4 or if they're anything in VB4 to provide the forced ignore functionality?

[tambo]

The forced ignore functionality of this mod appears to work as intended - at least with my limited testing on 4.2.

[Phaedrus]

The forced ignore functionality of this mod appears to work as intended - at least with my limited testing on 4.2.

As well on 4.1.x versions. I still edited the postbit so they couldn't get around it with the "view post" button. So, they have to ignore each other and without logging out (or if somebody quotes them) they'll be unable to read their posts.
