Moderation Auto-PM v2.0.1
 

What is it?
Moderation Auto-PM will automaticly send a Private Message to the user whenever their thread, post or attachment is moderated using the Thread Tools or Inline Moderation Tools.

It has support for the following types of moderation:

• Thread: Move
• Thread: Delete
• Thread: Undelete
• Thread: Stick
• Thread: Unstick
• Thread: Open
• Thread: Close
• Thread: Approve
• Thread: Unapprove
• Thread: Title Edit
• Post: Edit
• Post: Move
• Post: Delete
• Post: Undelete
• Post: Approve
• Post: Unapprove
• Attachment: Approve
• Attachment: Unapprove

All options can be turned on/off in the AdminCP. Moderation Auto-PM will not show the user where their thread is being moved to/from if they do not have permission to view the forum. You can also set a "master" exclude list of forum IDs that will never be touched by Moderation Auto-PM.

What's new in Version 2.0.1?

• Added support for opening and closing threads by double-clicking on the thread icon
• Fixed a bug caused by a missing phrase

Credit for this release goes to ConqSoft, as he notice the missing phrase bug, and suggested the new Ajax open/close feature :)

What's new in Version 2.0?

• Fully compatible with both vB 3.5.4 and vBulletin 3.6 Beta 2 or above! :banana:
• Support for editing posts / titles using the ajax quick edit bits
• Support for deleting posts via quick edit
• Don't send a PM if you are moderating your own thread
• Send a Delete PM instead of a Move PM if moved to a particular forum (ie, a recycle bin type forum)
• Age Cutoff Point - if the item is over a certain age, a PM won't be sent
• A couple of tiny bugfixes that no-one noticed :D

How do I install / configure it?
Please see the install.txt file contained within the zip.


How do I upgrade?
If you are upgrading from a previous version of this mod (any version), just upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones and re-import the Product XML, making sure you set "Allow Overwrite" to Yes.

If you are upgrading from PM on Thread Move, please uninstall that hack first, then install this one following the instructions in install.txt


Thanks go to redlabour for kindly providing a German translation for the phrases and to everyone who nominated this mod or voted for this mod in HotM June :)

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though :) See you all in early September! :D

Known Bugs

None!

nice...

/me installed..& testing..

Great work, I'll be installing this later this week, thanks a lot, I've been waiting for this!

So I'm assuming we should uninstall the other mod?

Please can you supply instructions for migrating from the old mod, to this mod?

awesome... this way users can now know why their threads are mysteriously gone

Wow !

How Great Is this

I clicked Install & now I'll install it on my forums

Thanks very × very much

Hmm, I got it installed but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

EDIT: Ok, the PM on thread move is the only part that seems to be working. Close, Sticky, Delete, etc. do not work. I previously had the PM on thread move hack installed, but I uninstalled it prior to installing this one. The install was fine, and the default Yes to all options are still set.

Cool i click INSTALL

I've been waiting for this. Good job! ;)

thank

So is this working ok for everyone else?

Nothing's happening for me either except for the moved.

Alan Rocks!!

I've been waiting a long time for this. Thanks!

/me clicks install!

excellent job!

Is this happening to anyone else? The hack only working for moved threads?

u uninstalled the old hack 1st ?

I never had it.

The best hack ever. Should be part of vb. Thanks Alan!!

In the words of Peter Griffin... "Freaking sweet!". Thanks Alan! :)

I uninstalled the old product and installed the new one .. It's only working for moved threads for me as well. No PM's being sent for any other moderator activity.

omfg!!

/me humpz this hack

same thing here, except move posts does work.

Ok, I figured out what it is. You have to have a at least one value in the block for excluded forums. Everything works once I put a valid forum ID there.

What if you don't want to exclude any forums and which ones would you exclude?

I didn't want to exclude any forums either. I tried putting in a zero, but that didn't work. Categories show up as a forum ID, so I put in one of those, which does work. So far, it doesn't seem to have affected any of the sub-forums in that category since they are all different forum IDs, and being a category, there are no posts/threads under it anyway, so it accomplished what I wanted.

Ahh, ok, a work-a-round for now. Whatever it takes has always been my motto. Thanks! ;)

I got to thinking that maybe Staff forums could be excluded from this. ;)

great hack.

*installed

Same Thing

Is there any sulotion

For those having a problem with the exclude list, for now, just disable it by doing the following:

1: Open /includes/functions_autopm.php
2: Delete lines 48 - 54

I'll create a proper fix for it tonight.

Thanks,
Alan.

doesnt seem to work for me?

What part doesn't work for you?

Excellent. Thanks!

/me clicks "Nominate for Mod of the month"

Splendid, thank you :)

Great work Alan, we love it; especially the fact that you can specify the ID that the PMs originate from. We try to keep who the mods are under raps and this is a big help. :)

Works great now! Thanks!!
