Tested this out and I like it, but Smilies are not parsed correct, they get pulled from the wrong path (/admincp/images/smilies)

Anybody fixed that ?

I also implemented the fix for postbit_legacy from Oblivion_Knight, thanks for this!

I also noticed that while deleting PMs via the Workbench the "total PM"-Counter of a user does not get updated, this means after deleting messages it still says the old total value...

Got some issues with vb 3.6 beta 3...

"To Users" shows as "Array" for everybody...

RUNNING solid. This exactly what I need when trouble hits the forums. Very rare. Hell the privacy link wont be seen unless they know what to look for.

I'm facing 1 small bug with this great mod

When I deleted a pm through this mod, the fields pmtotal and pmunread in user table are not upadated

I've been using this for ages, and it is perfectly stable. I've recently upgraded to 3.6 RC2, and it works, but has a slight problem with the new multiple recipients and BCC thing from the PM side. Would you be able to make that change for 3.6 soon?

It shows "array" instead of the recipients, until you go into the PM via the adminCP panel. Is there a way around this?

i got a slight problem here, i've entered the userids of my fellow admins in the config.php exactly where its supposed to be, but they can't see the link in the ACP...

note: they dont have a vbulletin settings permission, but i still want them to view your hack.

Sigh. I think some of the other features of this program are useful, but I've got a big problem with having the ability to easily read PMs sent by forum users.

If anything, I'd like to see a hack that makes PMs even more secure.

Due to the fact that the user reporting a bad message cannot actually edit it in any way gives the admin the security in knowing that the messages are 100% legitimate, thereby giving confidence in their decision making processes to ban or publicly spank offending users.

For the record, I tested this out on 3.5.4 on a month old database backup. As far as I can see, it works perfectly, however i've not tried it in a 'working condition' - as i said, it's only been used thus far on my test board. I'm not 100% whether I'll be applying it to the main forum (the real one) or not as yet. I'm still chewing on that... but the idea of reporting bad pm's (with it's 'note added' functionality) is very appealing.
I'll do the 'click install' because i ahve tried it, it works well (at least for the last hour i've been playing with it) and it has been 'installed', even if not on a fully functioning and active board.

Hey KarlM,

I hear what you're saying, and I agree to a certain degree.

However, there are certain cases where this is an invaluable feature. My users are made VERY aware that I can, and will, read any PM's I suspect of breaching my forum rules. I have 4 rules that I am not negotiable on, and those 4 rules I enforce with an iron fist. Everything and anything that happens on those forums, are my responsibility. If someone uses the PM feature to post child porn, I want to know about it before it actually gets read by the other party. I therefore installed another hack that traps PM's where certain specified keywords are triggered. Most of the times, I don't read any other PM's of any other users, except where those keywords are triggered, though.

To me, this function is absolutely necessary, simply because I'm held liable for anything that happens on my forums. I also run an online business from my site, and because of that, it's even more important that I control what gets said on my forums.

I do see how this is a moral issue, though. But IMO, it's only a moral issue when users are not aware that they are being "snooped" on. If they are aware of it, and they don't agree, they are more than welcome to not make use of the PM system. It's as easy as that.

Cheers
Firestar

I don't need to monitor all PMs sent by all members. Generally I would want to moderate PMs only when a user sends out a large numbers of PMs.

So is it possible to trigger this moderation based upon the number of PMs sent?

For example. If a member sends more than X PMs at one time (or within a given timeframe)?

The ability to response in real time gives a good advantage. With my former script I sometimes find illegal activity of months ago and by then it's to late to stop it. And another advantage is that a spamming member can normally just jump to a new account to start the same menace all over again. With a short reaction time, you can fix the problem when it arises.

Is there any update on this? Last year you wanted to code this, but had found no time yet. This would also clear the privacy issue, as with such function the admin can choose to only need to see those PM's reported by the PM Workbench.
Illegal activity by PM is a big problem / liability for forum owners. If illegal activity(trade in drugs, weapons, terrorisme, child porn, etc) is taking place on the server, this poses a direct risk to the site and the owner. I think many underestimate the risk. This extra function can counteract that risk. Due to the nature of the internet, I think it is a necessity.

Any chance for 3.6.x?

it works on vb 3.6.0 i've got it working, the only problem is where it should tell you who a message was sent to, it just says "array"

I installed too and working fine expect the same thing "Array"

karlm

09-10-2006 11:55 PM

Yeah, i get array too.
However, when i tested the 'report bad pm' function, no matter what access level i use (admin or regular member) it states i don't have the access to perform that function.

is this going to port to 3.6.2?

I'd love to see this for 3.6.3 in full working order. I need to be able to search and sort PMs better than vb currently allows.

just installed on a forum.
With the postbit_legacy template, I have used the following code for the template:

replaced

HTML Code:

report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]

with

HTML Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private'">mh_pmwbrp_report.php?$session[sessionurl]do=reportpm&amp;pmid=$post[pmid]<else />report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]</if>

The same would probably be needed if you were coding for the normal postbit template.

The PM Workbench to field shows "array" when looking at pm's. So I have taken the code from vbulletin's private.php file and added to the specific file as per below:

admincp/mh_pmwbrd.php

replace

HTML Code:

        while ($pm = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($pms))

        {



            $pmrow = array(

                    "<a href=\"mh_pmwbrd.php?do=readpmtext&amp;pmtextid=$pm[pmtextid]\">$pm[title]</a>"

                ,    $pm['fromusername']

                ,    (is_array(unserialize($pm['touserarray'])) ? implode(", ", array_values(unserialize($pm['touserarray']))) : null)

                , vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'] . ', ' . $vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $pm['dateline'])

                ,    "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"action[" . $pm['pmtextid'] . "]\">"

                );

            print_cells_row($pmrow);

        }

with

HTML Code:

        while ($pm = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($pms))

        {





            $cclist = array();

            $bcclist = array();

            $touser = unserialize($pm['touserarray']);

            foreach($touser AS $key => $item)

            {

                if (is_array($item))

                {

                    foreach($item AS $subkey => $subitem)

                    {

                        ${$key.'list'}[]=$subitem;

                    }

                }

                else

                {

                    $bcclist[]=$item;

                }

            }



            $pmrow = array(

                    "<a href=\"mh_pmwbrd.php?do=readpmtext&amp;pmtextid=$pm[pmtextid]\">$pm[title]</a>"

                ,    $pm['fromusername']

                ,    implode(", ",$bcclist).implode(", ",$cclist)

                , vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'] . ', ' . $vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $pm['dateline'])

                ,    "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"action[" . $pm['pmtextid'] . "]\">"

                );

            print_cells_row($pmrow);

        }
