how can i make it show in the banning.php?do=modify instead of the user profile?

Example:

User Name Banned By Banned On Ban Period Ban Will Be Lifted On Ban Time Remaining Lift Ban Reason

Yeah this hack would be useful for me too. Asianboi hit it right on the head. If someone could code this it'd be kinda cool. Sorry to be sponging off good coders but im clueless when it comes to PHP lol.

That's how I was going to do it, but I figured the person was happy with the profile field method so I did not post mine. My idea is to have it in the admin panel and have a text field that you can input the reason for the ban and also have a select (radio) option that allows you to have the reason show up on the forum as a error message to the ban user, with full details of the ban! (Yes or No) option!

No extra query, done doing a stright join instead of a select on a single table!

I like that idea and that's what I need WHY-NOT

Can you share it with us? or at least with me?

There are two hacks that I am aware of that have a reason field built into them. The first would be the Advanced Warning System (AWS) and the second would be Terry's Show Banned Users List Hack, which is mine and pretty much serves the purpose of informing people who banned who and why. Hope this helps.

somehow my navbar does not work with AWS so i gotta let that go...

Now that sounds cool. Would it be possible to release it? Or at least provide me with the code? A release'd be better though. I think it could really bennefir the Vb community ;)

All you'd have to do is add a custom private radio-button pair under the Ban Reason field, then add an additional conditional to the header template add-in. Should take about 30 seconds.

if we were that goood we would not even post for help... Thanks Mr. Olson. It would be much better if you can tell us how to do it.

Sorry, not thinking.

AdminCP, USER PROFILE FIELDS, Add New User Profile Field.

You will be prvided with a Field number. The name of your new field will be "field" + that number.

MAKE SURE the field is set to PRIVATE, the user can NOT edit it, and it does NOT appear in the Memberlist. Then just add the conditional I outlined above, and replace "fieldX" with your field name.

BTW, this is NOT a hack; it's a new profile field + the addition of a template conditional. You can ask for help on this ovfer at vB.com also.
