View Full Version : PM on Thread Move v1.0


Alan @ CIT
10-09-2005, 10:00 PM
A New Version of This Hack has been Released with Support for most Moderation Functions!

Get it from: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115677

Please UNINSTALL this mod before installing the new one :)



Description
This is a simple little plugin which will send a PM to the thread owner when one of their threads is moved to a different forum, and a re-direct is NOT used.

Quite often the problem arrises of re-directs cluttering up a forum, but if you move a thread without a redirect, then users cannot find it.

This plugin should solve that problem.

Installation
Just upload the attached product XML file. It will add 2 new hooks, and 2 new phrases.

Notes
This currently only works if you move the thread using either the ajax inline moderation, or the Thread Tools menu. If you move the thread from within the ModCP or the AdminCP, then it will not send a PM.

The PM subject and text are stored in the GLOBAL phrases "q_pm_on_move_message_subject" and "q_pm_on_move_message_text" respectivly

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though :) See you all in early September! :D

Many thanks. I use to have a mod on my 3.0.* board which would PM the thread starter on any form of moderatoin. ie. move, close, delete etc.

I would love to see these other aspects of moderation added to this mod too.

Though it is still very handy in its existing form, thanks for sharing it.

Hi Alan @ CIT

Can you add an option "Send a user PM info about moving thread" or something like that because I don't wish to send this PM every time I move thread.

Nice work, thanks.

Alan @ CIT
10-10-2005, 01:45 PM
Glad to hear it's working ok.

OmaniMan: The other moderation options (close, sticky, delete, etc) will be included in the next release. I'm working on it now, and hope to have it finished in a day or 2.

Cybernetec: Good idea, I'll try and work it into the next release.

I want to ask a thing.
For example sometime we move the thread a forbidden area.And the users dont know where th thread.If we send pm they know where it is.For example Administrator room.
I dont want this.Because they musnt not know this room.

In my opinion we can change this code.But how?If any person please reply.I want to give only url.Like this. http://www.myforum.com//forumdisplay.php?f=123456

New Forum: {5} ({4}) we should be able to change this code

yea i agree, in vb 2.3 i think it was, there was a hack that would send a PM on move, close or delete, that was a nice hack

but a step further id like to see the PM state "who" did it, and if a reason was put in (like when its deleted) that included too

also the option to turn on/off each notification in the admincp, and wether u want a PM sent even if there is a redirect

Thanks

Alan @ CIT
10-11-2005, 07:30 AM
First off, thanks to everyone who installed it :)

ben_erhan: I'll be sure to add permission checking into the next release. If the user doesn't have permission to view the forum it's being moved to, then it won't tell them about the forum.

nealparry: It sends the PM from whoever moderateted the thread (you, one of your moderators, etc).

Keyser S?ze: The PM is currently sent from the person who did the thread move (ie, the moderator), and I've added the "reason" (ie, for deletions, etc) into the next release, so it tells them what it was. Also, the options have been added to the AdminCP for the next release, and it supports all of the other mod functions (including move with redirects) :-)

I'm hopefull to have the next release out by Friday, but don't hold me to that :D

q8manar
10-11-2005, 09:43 PM

If I want to make the sender is one person (like user id = 10) .

Alan @ CIT

q8manar,

In the hooks inlinemod_domovethread and threadmanage_move_simple, find the following code:

// Fill in the blanks
$pm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
$pm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'])

This is the code you need to change. For example, if you wanted to send it from userid 10, and the username of ModBot, you would change it to:

// Fill in the blanks
$pm->set('fromuserid', "10");
$pm->set('fromusername', "ModBot")

I'll make this an option in the next version.

very nice. This should be a standard option.

well, supposed that the option to PM on move is turn on (in AdminCP) (I guest), or like right now, it's always PM on move, if you have "reason to send to thread poster", you can also add an option above it, asking of the Mod want to send the PM or not. Sometime, when you need to move something, and you dont really need to PM first poster, especially when you re-organize your posts, or your group's work space that the group know where the new location should be.


extend this, Admin can disable this option for mod in admincp.

the only thing is it only sends a PM once. Like if you move the same thread twice, it won't PM the second time.

Alan @ CIT
10-19-2005, 07:32 AM
Hi SVZ,

It works fine here. The plugin doesn't keep track of if a threads been moved before, it just gets called everytime the domove code is run.

Are you certain your moving the thread without a redirect the second time?

Wow great plug man...

- add an option to make it send email rather than PM or send both, or send email for users less than X posts as some forums admins uses the ( Disable PM's for users less than X posts )

- What If we can have an option to enable/disable pming while doing mod stuff; something like checkbox..

- under that checkbox ( send or not ), we can have a small text area if we would like to inform the thread writer for moving/closing/deleting reasons..

- Some Forums have a special Forum for deleted threads, so when they want to delete a thread; they simply move the thread to that forum.. so you can put a forum id's targets wich uses the ( Thread Deleted ) Template rather than ( Thread Moved )

banshee
10-24-2005, 09:58 AM
What about notifying other members who have posted in the thread? Just trying to eliminated the people who create a new thread "Where did XYZ thread go".

Looks good I will install when the new release comes out.

Alan @ CIT

{6} is the name of the moderator who moved the thread.

What do you mean by group?

What if an admin or super mod moved the thread? Does it show basically the member name regardless what group?

Alan.. great add-on .. but ive had to disable it. It hasnt caused me any grief, but i would love to use it :disappointed:

when i move a thread i get a message that reads..

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/techneti/public_html/postings.php(620) : eval()'d code on line 22

Ive checked that file and line 620 and it reads the following..

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadmanage_move_simpl e')) ? eval($hook) : false;

when i disable the plugin, it stops the error, but obviously doesnt send a PM ..

any ideas? thanks in advance..

Alan @ CIT

Hi Lenny,

That error is refering to line 22 of the plugin code that this hack adds. I'm not sure what would be causing that error at all. What version of vBulletin are you running?

Also, if possible, could you uninstall the hack, re-download the XML file from above, and then re-install it please - see if that helps.

Many thanks,

If you move a post to a forum that is not accessible to the user (like a moderation forum), they get a message that says" $bbuserinfo[username], you do not have permission to access....."

Seems it is not able to find their username if they do not have permission for that page.

interesting would be to send the thread owner a customized msg after moving the thread.
My moderators always have to write a pm manually ...

But writing a short msg to the owner inside the move menu would be great.

Perhaps you can think of that idea ...

thank you for this hack, wonderfull tool for me and moderators .-)

Idea for next release:
I do a lot "move post to new thread". It would be nice to have automated PM here too with message with meaning like:
Your post was off topic in thread "xy", so we created new thread that you can find here: "xy".

I would very appreciate this feature :-)

Any way to exclude forums? I have a dead archive which threads are moved to then pruned... A LOT of PMs go out just there... Any way to have it NOT sent PMs when forum moved to is id 'X'?


Same situation here.

Ideally there could be an interstitial dialog: "Do you want a PM to be sent to the Threadstarter telling them their thread has been moved?"

90% of the time I love this timesaving hack. But there are times when I really DON'T want a PM sent, and I forget I have this hack installed. :nervous: A dialog like that would let me "confirm" beforehand.

As a workaround until this is addressed, what I've been doing when I don't want the PM sent is this: Copy the thread to the destination forum, then go back and physically delete the original.

Just adding another request to have a tickbox option "Should send Move PM?". That way, if we move to a hidden forum, it won't PM the user a link and confuse them!

Seems like a good idea, only problem is, you can only copy one thread at a time. No way to "mass copy" many selected threads at a time, AFAIK.

So instead I think I'll have to go to AdminCP, temporarily disable this hack, move the threads, then re-enable the hack... ugh.

ben_erhan: I'll be sure to add permission checking into the next release. If the user doesn't have permission to view the forum it's being moved to, then it won't tell them about the forum.

Alan, any update to this hack? i'd like to add it but dont want certain forums showing if they are admin or usergroup based

thanks

Yeah, but that only works when you're the only one doing the moving :P I have a sup mod on my board, and she's one cleaner! She sweeps everything, especially when I'm sleeping (different timezones) and can't disable it :P And I don't want to allow her into the AdminCP...

*calls* Aaaalaaaan? You there? I got... *looks* .... candy! Or, coffee, if that's what you prefer!

Hi Alan, any updates to this hack on the way? :)

Also, I've had to make changes to how I use this, and I forgot one thing. In the plugin, I've modified the fromuserid and fromusername settings to be from a different user now, but I can't figure out how to change the text of the message to show that it is signed by someone else (the "Thanks, {6}" part). Do I change it there, or is this hack managed somewhere in the admincp I forgot about?

I have just checked on a test account on a normal user and its now saying:

your thread has now been moved to the admin section:surprised:

So I'm going to have to disable it before everyone finds out all the hidden parts of the board :(

Hope there is an update :)

Doh ! I was reading thru this and as I was reading I installed the hack to test it to see if it was updated !

*sigh* good hack Alan but the new version would be excellent dude !

It's been 5 months and I'm still waiting.
Would it be that hard to say that there won't be any next version ?

Any one can work on this very important hack and release a new version ?

Glad to hear it's working ok.

OmaniMan: The other moderation options (close, sticky, delete, etc) will be included in the next release. I'm working on it now, and hope to have it finished in a day or 2.

Cybernetec: Good idea, I'll try and work it into the next release.

Dude, chill out. This is a free hack, and clearly the original coder isn't involved with its active development and support anymore. Get over it. Constant bumpings are selfish, rude and add nothing.

Either learn to code to make improvements for yourself, or sit back and be patient for Alan @ CIT to either come back to support it, or pass on permission to someone else who will.

Stop: What Tralala said :)

All: I realize that a lot of people have been waiting for an update to this hack, and many of my other hacks, but unfortunately real-life issues have wiped out all of my free time recently, and will continue to do so for the next few months.

Although it's easy to say "Why can't you just make a quick update? Why can't you just reply to my post? why etc..etc..etc", supporting and developing 10 hacks takes an extreme amount of time - sometimes I'd be coding for 4 hours in an evening, then replying to support questions, feature requests and the 20 or so PM's I'd got that day for another 2 hours. That's just time I don't have anymore.

For what it's worth, a couple of people have PM'd me in the past asking to release this hack with the added features, and I've said yes to them all, but to date, none of them have released anything (that I've seen), so I'm not deliberately stopping people from improving this hack.

Thanks,
Alan.

Hi all,

The next version of this hack is now finished. It supports sending PMs for:

Thread Tools Menu
Open
Close
Delete
Undelete
Stick
Unstick
Move

Inline Mod Menu
Attachments: Approve
Attachments: Unapprove
Threads: Delete
Threads: Undelete
Threads: Open
Threads: Close
Threads: Approve
Threads: Unapprove
Threads: Stick
Threads: Unstick
Threads: Move
Posts: Move
Posts: Delete
Posts: Undelete
Posts: Approve
Posts: Unapprove

It also includes a few new features:

* Exclude forums - will not send a PM if the thread is in a forum in this list
* Checks permissions - it now checks to make sure the user can view the source/destination forum on thread moves, if they can't, it won't tell them where the thread is being moved to, just that it has been moved.
* Send From - Lets you choose who PMs are sent from, or use the default (the mod who made the change)
* You can enable/disable sending of PMs by action (move, delete, stick, etc) and type (thread/post/attachment) in the AdminCP -> Options

Now for the important part... Instead of releasing this as a public beta to find any bugs, I will be releasing it as a closed beta to a small number of people. If you are interested in testing this new version, please drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the .zip

Note: I'll only be sending the .zip to 3 or 4 people, so if I don't reply to your PM, it's because enough people have already applied :)

Thanks,
Alan.

Can this also be turned off for when undeleting a thread, for instance?

Alan @ CIT
05-14-2006, 04:17 PM
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean can you stop a PM being sent when un-deleting a thread? If so, yes - there are options in the AdminCP to turn on/off sending of PMs for each action (move, delete, etc) and type (thread, post, etc).

Thanks,
Alan.

Good news!

For all those who have been waiting for the next version, it's finally ready :banana:

It's been re-named to Moderation Auto-PM and can be found in the extensions forum as it now adds 3 files :)

Get it here! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115677

Please make sure all posts for Moderation Auto-PM go in that thread, not in this one, as they are seperate hacks :)

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to fully uninstall this hack before installing Moderation Auto-PM

Thanks,
Alan.
