That’s great news, I thought that this mod discontinued.

I am using this for quite a time now and I noticed few things:

1) In a forum running on a machine with php v5.1.6 installed quite often when one moderator attempts to enable moderation mode the result is a empty page and the error reported in error.log "'PHP Fatal Error : Allowed memory size of (64M) exhausted". Any ideas ?

2) Everytime a moderator logs out and relogs in the moderation mode has been set to disabled. Is there a way to leave the moderation mode permanently enabled ?

has anyone got this working on vb 3.7 yet? thanks

Version 1.1.1 has been released (version 1.1.0 was a private beta).

Much of the core code has either been rewritten or consolidated to improve performance and efficiency. Several template edits are now no longer necessary as of the release of vBulletin 3.7.0. With that said...

Moderator Checkpoint System v1.1.1 requires vBulletin 3.7.0 (or higher). Boards wishing to upgrade to the latest release must first upgrade to the latest release of vBulletin.
--------------------
Upgrading from 1.0.9 to 1.1.1

Find and remove in your threadadmin_deleteposts template:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="checkedposts" value="$mcscount" />

Find and remove in your SHOWTHREAD template:

Code:

<if condition="$show['cancheck'] AND $inmodmode"><option value="markmoderated">$vbphrase[mark_checked]</option>

<option value="markunmoderated">$vbphrase[mark_unchecked]</option></if>

Find and remove in your FORUMDISPLAY template:

Code:

<if condition="$show['candothreads'] AND $inmodmode">

<option value="markthread">$vbphrase[mark_thread_moderated]</option>

<option value="unmarkthread">$vbphrase[unmark_thread_moderated]</option>

</if>

Find and remove in your HEADINCLUDE template:

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>

<!--



    function mcsRequestData(Location,Handler){

    IE = (window.ActiveXObject)? true : false



        if(IE){

        Request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

        } else {

        Request = new XMLHttpRequest()

        }



        if(Request){

        Request.onreadystatechange = function(){mcsCollectData(Handler)}

        Request.open("GET", Location + '&nocache=' + Math.random(0,9999), true)

        Request.send('')

        }

    }



    function mcsCollectData(Handler){

        if(Request.readyState == 4){

            if(Request.status == 200){

            eval(Handler + '(Request)')

            }

        }

    }



    function parseActiveData(Request){

    Data = Request.responseXML.documentElement

    ActiveStatus = Data.getElementsByTagName('activemode')[0].firstChild.data

        if(ActiveStatus == 0){

            document.getElementById('data3').innerHTML = '$vbphrase[mcs_disabled]'

        }else{

            document.getElementById('data3').innerHTML = '$vbphrase[mcs_enabled]'

        }

    }



-->

</script>

Find in your postbit/postbit_legacy template:

Code:

<if condition="$inmodmode AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $show['cancheckforum']">

Replace with:

Code:

<if condition="$show['canbechecked']">

1. Import the 1.1.1 product XML, ensuring to check "Allow Overwrite".
2. Run a counter update via AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters
-- You must update the MCS Post Counters *and then* update the MCS Thread Counters.

Couldn't install it Kirk because I just upgraded to 3.7.2 and the install scripts says that dependencies are not met.

Kirk Y

06-28-2008 09:03 PM

Apologies for that Stuart. This is the first time I've ever had the need to integrate dependencies in a product. :)

PS. AVForums should already be running 1.1.1.

Very cool MOD, good idea.

However, it would get very annoying very fast to have to check each post, and then scroll to the bottom and use the moderation menu everytime.
A simple button in a post using AJAX like the Post Thanks hack would be a good idea, and more effective :)

Kirk Y

06-29-2008 02:07 AM

That's why "Active Checking" was implemented. But AJAX is something I may implement at some point in the future.

Kirk, i was wondering with the latest version i must do the template edits or not? in the package was wrote only 'upgrade' ... thx

Xeder

06-29-2008 09:30 AM

Yep, that's what I want too know aswell. After importing the addon, there is nothing in any topic/post menu's about "Checking" anything.

Thanks

If you're upgrading from 1.0.9 to 1.1.1, then there are no "new" template changes; only removing old ones from the 1.0.9 installation that are no longer necessary as they can now be implemented via hooks.

Instructions for fresh installations have now been added to the package.

Hello!

First, thank you Kirk for creating and distributing this hack :)

I believe it does everything we need right now, but our production environment still uses vBulletin v3.6.10, and even though we really should update, as a matter of fact it's not even on our roadmap yet, hence this little request:

Would any kind soul over here post a link to the 1.0.9 version so I can install it on my desperately obsolete platform? :D

Thanks in advance fellows.

After one week of usage here are the suggestions for improvement from my team. I'm happy to read, that you're working on the first two, so I hope, you could eventually also help me with the others:

first of all: my mods wish, that the last moderation mode and status of active checking is saved. At least, that the default could be changed from disabled to enabled. They're a little bit nerved by changing the modus every time they came back to the board, although when they didn't log out
they wish to recognize checked/unchecked threads also in the "new posts" table
posts by moderators should automatically be marked as checked
how could the length of the announcement column be modified? it's too short in moderation mode:

Ever thought of creating a "mother skin"? I use an unvisible mother skin for templates edits like this and child skins for style changes - then you didn't have that problem;)

After that post, kirk, you made the 1.1.1. - but I haven't found a possibility save the active status for every log-in?! do you made it already?

FIRST OF ALL what is the difference between postbit legacy and postbit legacy 307 ive never even heard of postbit legacy 307 and the TWO INSTANCE templates some i cant even find and the ones i can find there is only one instance of

PGAmerica

I was able to find all the templates. I had no problems installing this. I am just getting a DB error.

Is there any support for this hack at all?

Still no support? I am removing this mod as a huge pile of crap!

my evil twin

11-25-2008 01:29 PM

is this addon still supported?

i have an issue with it, not really a bug, but a little annoying.

whenever an user edits an already marked post, it is reverted to unmarked. so far, so good. but this action shows up in the moderator log, which means it suddenly has a few hundret entries of users which aren't really moderators, they just edited some already marked posting.

this really makes our logs very crowded and almost unusable.

any fix on this?

thanks in advance.

v1.1.5 released (1.1.2 through 1.1.4 were never publicly released -- sorry; I forgot!)

A new option has been added to set specific Usergroups automatically into Moderation mode as they log in (See vBulletin Options).

Checks/Unchecks are no longer written to the Moderator log, so as to avoid bloating it up with entries.

Upgrading: Import the new XML file (remember to allow overwrites) and rebuild your Thread/Post counters via Maintenance page.

PyroMarkus

12-28-2008 01:23 PM

So,
I added this to a vb 3.7.1 and it seems to work fine - many thanks for this.
I do have to make small comments:

At least when you do a fresh install and do not update from a previous version the template changes are not 100% correct:

for THREADBIT it must be for the second change:

Code:

Find:

 <if condition="$show['inlinemod']">



Add ABOVE:

<if condition="$show['cancheck'] AND $inmodmode AND $show['cancheckforum']"><td class="alt1" align="center"><if condition="$thread['checkcount'] > 0"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]view=mcspost&amp;tid=$thread[threadid]">$thread[checkcount]</a><else />$thread[checkcount]</if></td></if>

Otherwise you get the wrong column!

@wuelfi71
You can make it a little nicer, if you edit POSTBIT_ANNOUNCEMENT and add a column too:

Code:

Find:

</tr>



Add above:

<if condition="$show['cancheck'] AND $inmodmode AND $show['cancheckforum']"><td class="alt2" align="center">&nbsp;</td></if>

I wanted to increase colspan by 1 column but could not do so because the value is calculated there.

Most important, Kirk:
Could you please add the same functionality from forumdisplay into the "search for new threads"? In a very quick and heavily used vB with lots and lots of new messages per hour no moderator is able to browse though the single forums. We are searching for new messages/threads only and won't be informed this way. Can this be done by a simple template change? *please* ;)

THANK YOU A LOT for this mod!

Kirk Y

12-28-2008 05:57 PM

@wuelfi71: I'll take a look at those and patch them in the next version.

Cont'd-- Wuelfi, I've setup some test threads on my development board and am unable to replicate this bug (negative counters on 1000k+ post threads). Could you describe the bug further? When was the last time you updated your post/thread checkcount counters?

@PyroMarkus: Thanks! I'll update the README with that correction. Regarding the functionality you requested-- you would like to be able to "search" for unchecked posts/threads; is that correct?
