sorry, don't know how to fix it as this is somewhat new to me. but will try to re-check the codes

does this work with tapatalk?

Using 4.0.7,

If I thread ban a user with Prevent Viewing and Logout Protection enabled. all guests are blocked out.

Would it be possible to challenge the user based on a cookie check + last known ip?

If the error is caused from using VB4.0 vs the recommended VB4.1 then ignore the request.

Thanks

Hi. The Logout protection is primitive in nature and is working as intended/how you've described. The problem with cookies is they can be easily deleted, and IPs can be easily faked.

Hey good job, very nice idea. Installed!

But one additional suggestion:
Can you add a temporary ban?
For thread bans it is not necessary as much, but for forum bans it would be great, if i could say "ban this user from forum X for Y days" : And after this Y days the ban is removed automatically. In my opinion a temporally ban is a good and efficient warning.

is there a way to see all users banned from threads? is there like a "general" list of banned users from threads ? that would be helpful.

thanks

Installed! Great working on 4.1.10

Both of those are good ideas and I will try and get them into the next release. I have no idea when that will be though due to work commitments at the moment.

welcome back :) looking forward to the next version of this mod with some additional features. :up:

Hello there,

a free german translation is available now for this mod: http://www.vbulletin-germany.org/sho...Forenbans-quot

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe euch eine ?bersetzung dieses Hacks bereitgestellt:
http://www.vbulletin-germany.org/sho...Forenbans-quot

The option to set individual users to be able to view a thread or not would be grand.

Hi, is it possible for this mod to give other usergroups the ability to ban from the thread? For example moderators or a paid usergroup?

Edit: I see the product does this, wonderful!

WOW ! nice work!

It is possible that a topic starter can ban other members to stop reply'ing in his thread?

Can u do this option?

Ok using this and it is working. Problem is, error message for removing someone from a thread is giving "you can't participate in this forum" instead of "you can't participate in this thread".

Also, anyway to make it so that so many template edits are not necessary?

Is there any way to make it so that a thread creator who is a non-moderator can ban someone from a thread after it is created?

Yes, I have the same request this is very important.

Does this work if you upgrade to 4.2.0?

Well, regardless I have it installed on my 4.1.x version and it is working wonderfully... I'd like to upgrade but I'll wait until I'm sure all my mods will work first.

why not creating a testing board with 4.2 and installing the mods you are using?

A good feature would be, if its possible to ban a member on every time - not only at the thread starting (Who knows, who is flaming my thread, when i`m starting...)

The dbase is too large for me to copy it and test... I'll have to upgrade my server.

Just an FYI. If you have users using Tapatalk, they can post in threads regardless of thread/forum bans through this modification.

You may also want to have it check against the user creating the thread, you can "ban" yourself from your own threads. I'd not call it a bug... but it just seems odd.

huh? You don't need to copy your database. You just need to install the mods you are using on a new installed 4.2 board. They should work even without the database entries from your entire board.

Many of my mods work with the dbase. Testing is most effective if I copy and test. I spent much time making them work right and tweaking them for my board, I need to be able to see the effects correctly. Thanks/Groans is one of them, I wouldn't know that once the numbers of Thanks/Groans gets large the counts stretch beyond the boundaries of the postbit, for example...

hi, I can ban a group? thx

hmm not with this hack. as you can see the developer has not been online for a long time now.
But I think it won't be a hard job for a coder to change the hacks source code, so banning usergroups gets possible.

I can't find the code in the templates.. the code does not even look like the same format in the template as it does in the instructions. I'm guessing this is because I'm using v4.2.0. Is there any way to make this mod work for v4.2? I could solve nighmarish issues on my forum with this mod, so please, if anyone can help me please let me know!

It says "Thread Creation Bans Enabling this allows the thread creator to specify a list of banned users as the thread is being created" but how is a thread creator supposed to look into the future and know who is going to disrupt a thread? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow the thread creator the option to click on a person in the thread and ban them that way, after they start causing trouble in the thread?:confused:

Is there another mod similar to this with selected forum functionality?

I guess no one has done any further work on this mod? It would really be useful for my forum if it worked on 4.2.2.

Well I gave it a shot, nothing ventured nothing gained as they always say! I installed the xml and managed to find the proper code to modify and it works great. It's nice to have the banned member listed at the top of the thread and I like having the option to ban members from viewing the thread as well or banning them from an entire forum. Although I would like it if the viewing block was selectable for each user ban instead of a global setting. Along with that, what would make it perfect would be if a PM was sent to the member to notify him he has been banned from a thread, but that can always be done manually.

But overall, it works fine and is a great addition!

Got it working on 4.2.2 but there is one bug if you ban a member from a topic any member any topic it will also stop guests from seeing it as well

Exactly...

This is somewhat of a solution:
http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/produ...up-moderators/
Using the Thread Admin option, if you allow the user to be able to 'moderate' others posts, the ban from thread option also appears (as the user will have access to the Moderation Tools).
Inline Moderation has to be set as No, otherwise the password verify page will not be bypassable for non moderators:
Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> General settings -> Enable Inline Moderation Authentication (No)
^ That would be pretty useful.

"Re-usable Code"
Somebody else could help add these suggestions to the code, if they wanted.
It would be so good if they do...

P.S= I haven't spotted any errors with any of the settings using this plugin.

I didn't get that issue. Based on what the settings say, all of them work exactly as described.

Evidence: http://i.imgur.com/7lri6ia.png
If the banned user logs in and tries to reply: http://i.imgur.com/8bVTkFh.png

Maybe you misread the settings or another mod you have installed clashes with it?

Nothing for VB5??

I just tried on version 4.2.2 and it didn't work, most probably because of this bug.
