vBt uses vB 3.0.0...and it doesn't allow them to unban users? I'm sure it does :confused:

For those who've been having problems with the unban link not showing up, I've found the problem.

In /mod/user.php Find:
Replace that with:
The reason the unban link wasn't showing up was simply because the 'usergroupid' column wasn't selected from the database. Therefore when it tried to search for the usergroupid of the banned user (in this case '8') it couldn't find anything because the 'usergroupid' column wasn't selected to look in.

Hmm, that's odd how it didn't select the usergroupid, thanks for posting up the fix though, I was clueless as I had it working on my forum, I probably did modify that query as you've posted in your post, but just forgotten to add it into the instructions!

i cant get this to work on 2.3.0

First of all, this was actually originally found HERE by n9ne

However the code was erroring, and it also had excess code in it and proved to be insufficient.

I took the code and fiddled around with it, because i had been looking for something similar and didnt feel like writing my own hack, however i ended up doing it anyway ~_~ and also rewrote the instructions.

Now anyway, this will replace the [ban] link in the MOD control panel, with [unban] for users which are banned when searching for them. Then it unbans (i bet you werent expecting that), similarly to the way in which you ban users in the first place. The instructions include information for things like changing the usergroupid which the banned users are in, and also for multiple banned groups, and for changing the usergroup the unbanned users go into. changing things is simple enough however if you need specific coding done just post it and ill post back the fix.

Works for ALL 2.x.x boards, 4 edits to mod/user.php

have fun...
