Then you have another hack intefering with thread creation.

Yes,sorry this is my fault.This https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96018 plugin stop thread creation,because count a message.

OK now working

Thanks ;)

*** Installed ***

good mod...was looking for this ....thx

Is it possible to report own message ?

No, vbulletin does not allow that.

Allow members to report own posts

... but admins can't report own post with this and there isn't any reason to. :)

Doesn't work for me :(

Paul, it dosen't work for me :(

vB 3.6 will have this function as default.

@Paul M: Thank you for great hack ;)

Scenario ...
I would post in a thread at the forum with instructions to the member to report my post which they would do.

I would then respond to this post but not receive an answer.

What I just figured out is that because I have my subscription setting as Do Not Subscribe, their reported post of my post was also Do Not Subscribe.

Oddly I am not able to change their subscription mode to instant notification, even though this is their default setting.

The only other thing this might be the cause could be the Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins which I use.
:confused:

The weird thing is that if I change my reply post to instant notification, then their subscription mode of their reported post (of my post in the forums) changes to instant notification.

FYI Do Not Subscribe subscription mode was also noticed in the 3.6 Reported Post feature and was confirmed in this bug report:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...view&bugid=491

.. see reply for possible fix.

Note ...
We have it set up so that the forum reported posts goes to allows for member usergroup to view and reply to their own reported post.
Can Post Threads - Yes
Can View Others' Threads - No
Can Reply to Own Threads - Yes

I would never want subscriptions sent out for reported post threads. The replies to them are completely confidential - members have no permission to view them.

Can't this be achieved by the way you have permissions set up in the forum reported posts are being dierected to?

Quite possibly, and I think that is what they have done now in 3.6. However, that's not not going to get added to this now. Like all my 3.5 mods, no changes will now be made, esp as this is obsolete in 3.6 onwards.

Yep, that change was made in 3.6 RC2
Onward ho! 3.6 is where to go
Cheers :)

I have such a huge board that I usually don't notice that the mod's forum has a new thread from a reported post until a good several hours, but when I get a pm, I notice that on the next page view (i'm not always in my forum index).

I remember an option to send a pm when a post is reported, but I don't see that anymore. Is there a way to install two versions of this and have one of them send me a pm and the other start the thread, or something to that effect? Is there a hack that sends you a pm when there is a new thread in a certian forum, cause that would do the trick, but i haven't been able to find anything since it seems every thread has the words "Send PM new thread in forum"

P.S. the subscibe to forum thing is useless in my book, so that wouldn't work.

This has never had an option to send a PM so that must have been another mod you had.

I don't recall ever seeing a PM on new thread mod.

I think this hack could be much better if we had the option to also send a message via pm when a post is reported. It would help call attention to a post so it doesn't sit around for 30 minutes before it gets noticed in a mod forum.

Is there some sort of hack school on here. I'd be more than happy to try to make an addition, but I'm not real sure how all of these things work. I know php and I'm pretty familiar with the vB lang, but I haven't ever written a hack.

Can you answer that question please?

And how to do to send a PM to the forum moderators? And in the title of the thread created the name of the forum? xD

Thanks in advance and sorry!

This mod cannot prevent multiple reports of the same post, nor can it send PM's.

This mod (like all of my vb 3.5 mods) will not have any further work done to it as vb 3.6 is now the current standard (or at least about to be).

how can i make so it stand reported post by: username and not reported post at: date?

i spent about 20 minutes tracking down the hack that was interfering w/ post creation.. it's this one.. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...or+mods+admins .. do you know of any way i can run both and make them both cooperate? plz.. i really don't want to lose either of these hacks :)

It's a known problem with the AEO hack, see this post in the AEO thread.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=939153

i appreciate the quick reply just 1 final absurdly dumb question.. uh.. how do i go about editing the hook(s) ?

Via the Plugin Manager in the ACP.

This could be a "hot" section on any board since people love to complain.

ah Beautiful, works PERFECTLY :) thanks tons :)

Is there a way to make it so that you can set which user creates the new thread, instead of having the member who reported it?

Also, will this override any permissions, if I were to use it in a staff forum for example?

No, there is no such feature.

Yes, it will post the thread wherever you tell it, no permissions are checked.

i currently use this mod and i love it... no kidding, it helps out a ton...

one quick question somewhat related...

i have the mod create a thread in a private Moderators Section and I would like to have all of my mods sent an email notification once a new reported post thread (or any thread for that matter) is created within that hidden Moderator section.

What do u guys do to handle that?

thanks a ton!

UPDATE:
I know theres a "Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Thread" option available in the Forum Manager but it only allows 250 characters worth of email addresses to be entered... our list is getting truncated since we need more than 250 characters. is there a way to change that default?

Is it 3.6 compatible?

vb 3.6 has this functionality as standard.

It has? Owh ... I remember!

I'm sorry. :)

Except the vB standard version of it seems borked at the moment...

Matt

There is a problem now with this hack and 3.6.

A number of people, myself included, are noticing that when we have had this hack installed, and then upgrade to 3.6, then uninstall the hack fully, the vB default report system breaks...it creates the thread but not the corresponding post.

I am unsure how this can be happening since Paul's hack involved no database changes.

Even disabling all plugins and reloading the default files fails to resolve the problem.

Odd, 3.5 > 3.6 went well and is working fine for me.

All I can think of is to double check the usergroup viewing permission for the forum reported posts go in ...

Depends what you mean....

If you are running this hack and simply upgrade to 3.6, the hack carries on working. As in my case, because report threads still appeared I didn't realise anything was wrong.

However if you disable or uninstall the hack and try to rely on the default built in feature to create report threads, you might find it doesn't work properly...it creates the thread but not the post, thus giving an error if the thread is clicked.

After I upgraded I uninstalled the 3.5 hack before using it.

I'm presuming you've made the changes in the User Infractions & Post Reporting Options of course.

I've got my forum permissions setup a little different whereas the reportee can view their reported post (only) and can reply to it as well as report their own posts as this forum is also used as a member support forum.
We don't get much bad reports at our site as it's usually nipped in the bud before that happens

Forum Viewing Permissions
Can View Forum - Yes
Can View Thread Content - Yes
Can View Others' Threads - No

Post / Thread Permissions
Can Post Threads - Yes
Can Reply to Own Threads - Yes
Can Reply to Others' Threads - No

As such I don't know if I can be much help being it's working for me.

Sorry.
