Make sure the template is called report_post (case sensitive) and is available in all styles you use.

Hey Paul, just got this running on RC3, very nice - thanks! I'm currently trying to work out how to get the user redirected to a confirmation of the report being sent, once submitted. I'll let you know how I get on. :)

Nobody hold their breath though... I've no idea what I'm doing.

I got it to show the mods who were sent the email now. And no file edits. ;)

ADDITION:

to display the redirect page after the user sent the message, just add this at the end of the actual hack:

FIND at the end of the plugin text, ADD this JUST BEFORE:.. the actual one is not showing the redirect completely...

Could it not be showing correctly because the redirects are turned off? ;)

this setting will FORCE REDIRECT... that's the difference!

And if redirects are turned on it won't show twice, right?

no because of a simple act: (print_standard_redirect) display and exit the script, so even if you have something else in front of it, calling this function exit everything else after it!

the FORCE REDIRECT is used in many places on the forum anyway, where redirects are needed for cookies and for acknowledgements of actions...

nevermind, I retract my post.

Now updated to v2.01 (as a vb product). See the first post for details. :)

Thanks, forgot to add the template to the style :)

Ah, glad you're sorted - the new version should prevent this - as the template is imported by the product into the master style.

btw - please click install :)

Great and I have clicked the install buton as well :)

LOVE THAT !

It is working like a charm :)

Very nice plugin but somehow the tags keep coming up; does anyone have a solution? (I've checked the templates but it's not in there.

i think if you remove the commend : put template names for templates in admincp that will vanish. It did for me anyway.

Is this something that is needed?

Just curious if it was updated in the attached file, if it was, I am not getting any sort of redirect message.

@Paul M, forgive me if this was answered, however, if I set up the hack to start a new thread in a staff area where the user who reports the post does not have access to read or post, will it still create a post from him/her?

Great hack!

**clicks install**

This is totally unrelated to this hack - it is because you have "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" set to yes in the vb general settings. It should always be set to no on a live forum.

There is no redirect code in the hack, it's not necessary IMO, but you can add it if you prefer it on your forum. :)

Yes, it will create a thread in a staff area, regardless of whether the user has permission to view it - I would think this is how 99% of people use it. :)

Yet again, another awesome modification.

Great product! Thanks

Threads are being created in our Mods Forum as you read this!

Sounds great Paul, that is all I needed to know :)

Thanks again!!

Ah, finally found out why it was also posting the commented things; I had "Comment Templates in HTML" enabled in the config. Still a great hack :)

I dont have my email functions enabled. So when i try to use this mod with the report post it says
"Sorry. The email function has been disabled by the administrator."

When i enable the email functions it works and makes a thread in the forum i specified. The thing is i dont want any other email functions available. Is there a workaround to getting this to work without enabling email?

Turning e-mail off disables the ability to report posts [with that message] - this is a standard part of vb functionality and there is nothing that can be done about it (other than edit report.php).

This is awesome. Thanks Paul. Installed at slackercentral.com. ^__^

Hi there Paul, just wanted to let you know that there is a slight problem with this product. Once installed it will not allow the quick reply feature to be used.

Anyone else see that?

Tested with IE and FireFox.

Hang on, I have it disabled and it is still not working...works off and on, this is odd.

Sorry Paul.

Works fine for me, sure you're clicking the quick reply button to enable the quick reply box?

Apology accepted. (in my best Darth Vader voice ;))

(you have to have seen Star Wars to understand the humour of this)

Excellent work!

*Clicks Install*

Ya it is a quick reply problem, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not???

LOL ya I like Star Wars...

Anyhow, not to get quick reply working??

I've only had it on my production site for a day or so, but I'm not have any problems so far. And my users wear the quick reply function OUT. :D

What a great mod!!!!

Installed and working! :D

installed. much thanks.

How do I get this mod to also pull the name of the forum it came from into the subject line?

See posts 50 & 51 of this thread.

Just installed this hack now.

Love it, will make it a lot easier to see what the Mods have done with any complaints :)

another fine rls by Paul M
