That's the second part of post 201, you don't need to do anything with that (hence why I said "I posted a fix in the first part of post #201") :)

Correct, it's only new thread creation via the standard vb function that is affected.

Great! Thanks, Paul. Can you think of any other hacks off the top of your head that make threads or would be affected by this? If anyone would know, it would be you, sir. ;)

Whiee!
Let me know :D.

this is a great product...

i know its been mentioned before.. it would be nice to allow admins to report posts as well. im not sure how tough that is to implement etc.

There is no restriction on Admins reporting posts.


(I would guess you have the AEO hack installed, read the previous page).

Installed-

Many thanks, brilliant

Good hack, but did anyone ever find out how to make it send out a pm as well? Past report hacks did, but they are now incompatible.

Brilliant! Thanks a bunch, this was just what I needed!

Paul M, can you please help me with this?!

I tried to install on my 3.5.1 board, and the product imported fine. I changed the forum id to the one I wanted, but when a user reports a post, the new thread isn't created.

I've tried everything I can think of.

• Disabling all products apart from this one - Didn't work
• Changing permissions of the forum - Didn't work
• Checked vB options - Couldn't see anythign wrong
• Made a completely new style from scratch, all templates default etc. - Didn't work

I exported my current style and added it to my test board (3.5.4) and it worked on there. I'm just a little confused as to why it isn't working on my main board, and I really want it to because it's such a useful hack!

I clicked install because technically I did!

If you PM me admin access to your forum I can have a look, it won't be for a few hours though.

Okay, your problem was a plugin called "Require Post Icon for New Threads".

That was preventing new threads from being created as they didn't have an Icon.

I edited your plugin to add the bit in bold, which allows reported post threads to be created with no icon, and tested a report ok.

I have left it like this for now.

Ah I guess that makes sense then! It still didn't work even though I disabled the product last night though. :confused:

Anyway Paul, thanks so much for doing this for me!

That plugin is not associated with any products, it's all on it's own.

Hi Paul,
Hope to install in the next day...

Is it possible, or if not, do you think it feasible to be able to direct specific forum reports to specific forums?

Say for example if a board was comprised of several distinct topical issues that contained several Parent Categories with child forums ... and reported posts are directed to a forum for each category ....

Mark

excellent ... installed!

It's not possible with this version, as that would require extra code.

(homer voice) Mmmmmm - extra coode..(/)
But seriously, I day dream about Paul having extra time to code.. I wanted some glitz and glitter added to this one myself.. Mmmmmm - extra code....

Yet another excellent mod, Paul. Thanks.

This is a great mod. I set up the forum where the posts go with the emails of all my mods, so they get an email when a new report thread is created.

I was reporting posts with my test account and my post count was going up everytime i reported a post but would not show anything under my threads and posts.

Is there anyway to stop this from counting toward the reporter's post count?

Clicks Install, Thanks Paul! Working great!

Have made it into a forum support button with threads going to a Help Desk Forum.
I made settings so that threads reported are only viewable and reply-able by 'reportee' and support usergroup.

For the forum you have set up to receive reported posts ...
AdminCP> Forum Manager > Edit Forum > Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts - Yes/No? > No > Save

Works like a charm. You the man.

It would be cool, after post is submitted, to have something show like ...
"Thank you, report submitted"

Cheers,
Mark

The redirect should tell you that. ;)

Great tool! Very useful!
Do you know how to prevent double (or more) reports of the same post?

Thanks you in advance.

Nice mod Paul. Finally got round to updating to the latest version on my second site ;)

Anyway, is there any chance that you can either make it so multiple reports of the same post go into the same thread, or point me in the right direction.

Cheers.

As I think I have said in the past, this is a very old version. Among other things, the newer version 3 (in use on CF) prevents a post being reported more than once. I will (one day) get round to releasing that here (probably as a 3.6 hack now).

Paul, it is a shame that vB hasn't picked this up as default. Thanks muchly for the hack. :)

It's now a feature for 3.6
See: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...&postcount=151

So it is. :)

Another hack becomes redundant in 3.6 ........

Paul... are you getting and kick-backs? :D

[high]* Guest210212002 clicks install

Would like to see this have the ability to assign a user to the post (such as the AE Multi Login Detection hack) rather than have that user posting in the forum.

EG: I have a private forum for the multi-login detection, and another for reported posts from this hack. I use a dummy account to post the duplicate logins, would love to use the same account to post the reported posts.

Though I guess with 3.6 incorporating it there's probably not much motivation for you, eh? :(

[high]* Guest210212002 cheers Paul anyway.[/high]

No, just kicks ...... ouch ...... ouch ...... :banana:

I'm afraid you are right, there will be no more development of this. :cool:

Quick question, will this still work if the reported post is set to appear in a forum where regular users don't have permission to post?
Also, should "overwrite" be checked as yes or no?

That's two questions :p

1. Yes, it will go to any forum, permissions are not checked.

2. No, for first install, yes if upgrading a previous version.

installing, thx nice excellent

I tried my forum,but only works moderators and admins group.Other usergroup not use send functions.

Any idea ?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

Moderator,supermoderator and admin create a bad post report thread no problem.But other usergroups (registered users and other) not created any thread.

thank you, installed
