We've been using this for a few months, but lately it seems we are getting more emails of posts that need moderation but when we go to the forum, there is nothing there.

My mods want me to remove this feature, but I'm hoping there is something that could be tweaked.

Hi,

i have installed the Add-On, and the i have test it, and it did not work. The problem is: the System send me no E-Mails, for moderated Posts.
Can you give me a hint, what i can do now?

Thanks and regards

EDIT: It works now, i forgot to copy two files, sorry.

Hi, had long waiting for a mod to do this, thank you very much, but I have an error when running cron, I get this error:

would be possible to fix it? thank you again.

Hi, sorry for the delay in getting back to you!

Could it be that one of your "mods" is getting to the items waiting before the other mods check/get the email and so when they go to the queue its empty?

Hi, in the error message "Permission denied" would suggest there is a problem with file permissions for the .xml file you uploaded to the server, what permission dose this file have?

My file permission is set to 644 and this works just fine for me/my server setup, let me know and we can hopefully get this working for you.

Thanks,

thanks for your reply, the current permissions are at 644, is like giving the error, I've risen to 777 and stops giving error but so clear I guess I can not leave them for safety reasons, there would be some other solution?, although that mistake, I'll keep using it, I'm doing well, thanks for your help.

Morning,

Humm, with out seeing your server setup its hard to tell...

What permissions for /includes and also /includes/xml folders?

If you have no need for xml support (i.e - Support for external applications and their development (xml based status)), then i can make you a custom version of this mod (vbmqn.php), just simple upload of 1 file. Just let me know.

G'day Lee, thankyou for your work mate, this looks like it will be a perfect fit for us!

I've installed and copied the files across and am just awaiting some moderated posts to test. After running the scheduled task manually (vB 4.2.1), I've got the following output. It looks like it can't find the files, although they are both where they should be. Any ideas mate?

Cheers!

Justin

1.) Did you by chance rename your admincp directory in Admin Control Panel?

2.) If your not scared of editing your files, you can go to the error-ed line and dump the current working directory. If the files are where they are suppose to be, then your current working directory has been altered for some reason.

Of course this only works if your testing the mod on a test board, which you should be doing.

Thanks again for your help bud. Funnily enough, it works just fine in our testbed - e-mails and all.

As such, I went to deploy it and ran into this.

The good news is that a re-upload of the working files, and a re-install of the product now sees it working beautifully. This will be a great addition to our little forum - thanks again to you both!

Justin

Very cool concept!

Installed and waiting....

Great work sir...

Hi Justin, sorry i missed your request for support there, not sure why but i did. Pleased you have it working :).

Hi,

Yes i'm running this on 4.2.2 with no problems.

Hi, Really like this as it helps us manage the moderation queue.

One thing that is bugging my moderators is that they are getting multiple emails each time something is in the queue.

1 item in the queue last night prompted 19 emails to the moderators to tell them there was an item there.

I've always had multiple emails, but this is the most so far.

Do I have something wrong, or is there something I can change?

I've never had any trouble with this mod.

It all depends on your settings in Scheduled Task Manager for vBMQN
How many times each day does it run?
ie: every time it runs it will send out an email - until the Mod Queue is cleared

I think by default it may be set to run every half hour
so until the Mod Queue is cleared - you may get upto 48 emails each day

I currently have it set to run only once per day since my site isn't as busy as most others
so it will then check the moderation queue once a day
and then send out one email per day - if anything is waiting.


PS: somehow this never made Mod of the Month
so resubmitting it myself :up:

PS2: now if only Lee could also make it show a list of what is in the Mod Queue in each email
and then send out a final email when the queue is cleared
then it would be worth an extra slice of pizza :)

Great Mod. I second the suggestion for sending out an email when the queue has been cleared but my guess is that may require a separate mod.
