Ban Users From a Thread

Ban Users From A Thread
(Keep users out of a particular thread)

Summary:

Allows Administrators/Supermods to ban a user from a particular thread.
Most useful if you have a "flame started" and you dont want to lock the entire thread or ban the user entirely - just keep them out of the thread!

This mod was originaly created by Trigunflame for vb 3.5, but since the developer hasn't been online and updated his mod since 2006, I've decided to publish this port for 3.6 (thanks beano33)! I've tested it on 3.6.4 and 3.6.7 - and it works perfectly.

Features:

1. Allows Banning users from a particular thread.
2. This mod can be used if user has SuperModerator or higher permissions.
3. Cannot ban Mods/Supermods/Admins.
4. Can clear all bans in a particular thread, or bans from All threads.
5. Can ban/unban user from a single menu when clicking their username.
6. Page to display Forum Wide Thread Bans.

Instructions:

1. Download the .zip file
2. Read the guide in the README.txt document
3. Click Install if you like the mod :)

Support:

I will offer as much support as I can for all of you that installed this mod.
Please do not PM me for support, and state your question in this thread.

They can still read it by logging out right? Just not post in it?

Yes, they can read it when they're not logged it.

Exactly the same as banned users. They can read every forum/thread depending on the permissions in their usergroup or the forum permissions - when they're not logged in. Only IP address bans can prevent someone from reading the entire content on your form.

Using this mod you can ban your member's username/userid from the specific thread. So, that way, they won't be able post in the particular thread, nor access it while logged in. There's no other way to limit someone's access from a thread. This is exactly what forum administrators want ;)

Hey,
I installed the mod however am having some difficulties.

In the 'Thread tools' what is in the screenshot appears. However when i click the username, it does not say 'Ban user from thread' :(.

I installed the product and then i did the template edits :).

Any help is appreciated

- Thanksyou

This is great. Is there any way to make it so normal moderators can do this in their assigned forums, too?

    </if>

- Bellow that code, add the following:

Code:

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">

 <if condition="!isset($btu[$post[threadid]][$post[userid]])">

    <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_ban]</a></td></tr>

 <else />

    <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_unban]</a></td></tr>

 </if>

</if>

Make sure you edit both templates. It will surely work. ;)

How do I use it? Do I right-click on the flamers name and something will come up and click ban or do I just go to the user options menu?

Just click on your member's usernames (not avatars) while reading the specific thread.

You will notice the following options in the drop-down menu:
- View Public Profile
- Send a private message to [member]
- Find all posts by [member]
- Add [member] to Your Buddy List
- Ban User from Thread

Choose "Ban User from Thread" and Whoala!

If you wish to unban the member, either click it's username again and choose "Unban User from Thread", or click Thread tools and choose to: Clear this threads bans, Clear every threads bans, or - View all threads bans.

Doesn't show and I did everything right. Will it conflict with other mods on my site?

In your zip file it says open one template OR the other. Not both. You should change that if that is what you meant. But it works now, so thanks.

See Here is what it says on your readme document.

Quote:

3. Open your styles "posbit" or "postbit_legacy" template, whichever you use.
- Find near the bottom of the template:

<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&userlist=buddy&u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>

- Below that, add:

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
<if condition="!isset($btu[$post[threadid]][$post[userid]])">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&t=$post[threadid]&u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_ban]</a></td></tr>
<else />
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&t=$post[threadid]&u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_unban]</a></td></tr>
</if>
</if>

I'm glad it works now ;)

It also says: "whichever you use".
But since most people don't really know which template to edit, I'll change the readme document.

Thanks.

The limitation of the original is still the limitation of the revised version, it seems. Mods actually need this more than Admins. Mods are always on the site, not the Admins. Oh well, shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth...

Thanks man. I just wanted to give you a heads up on that. You had me confused. :)

Some edits can be done via the new template hooks

also

for the plugins newreply_start, threadmanage_start and showthread_getinfo, it's better to use init_startup

PHP Code:


		
			
$datastore_fetch[] = "'btu'";

And then, in next hooks, use

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->btu

By doing that, you'll optimize the hack and save three unnecessary queries.

I would love to see the ability to ban people (or even usergroups (doesn't matter ATM)) from threads without needing them to post first. What if you don't want them to see the thread in the first place? It would be nice to either have a dialogue where you enter the specific user's userid, or go to their profile page and ban them that way.

At this time, the mod's benefit is that it only installs with a Product file; not seperate .php files.

I installed this and when I use quickreply, no matter how long my quickreply is, it keeps saying I need to insert at least 10 characters.

I had a hard time finding out where it came from and it was this hack!

I dont know what happened, but its annoying, good hack, but shame for the bugs. uninstalled

- edit

now my whole forum is screwed up, thanks a lot!

Really, this mod shouldn't affect your forum posting abilities in any way, especially not the quick editor. It's probably just a coincidence. Have you installed any other mods that day?

question?

07-23-2007 08:02 PM

good mod

question?

07-23-2007 08:30 PM

I've changed the postbit ban, to not allow user group 6:

Code:

<if condition="($show['btu_canban']) AND ($post['usergroupid'] != 6)">

and only allowed admins to clear ALL bans:

Code:

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">

    <div><label for="ao_btu"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btu" value="btu_clear" />$vbphrase[btu_clear]</label></div>

    <if condition="$usergroupid == 6"><div><label for="ao_btua"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btua" value="btu_clear_all" />$vbphrase[btu_clear_all]</label></div></if>

    <div><label for="ao_btuv"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btuv" value="btu_view_all" />$vbphrase[btu_view_all]</label></div>

    </if>

Question....does this upset them and do they then make alternate threads? This is problem we have seen when trying to ...cool down people. Infractions can be an issue too. How is this working for people?

AcidX

08-06-2007 09:43 PM

It's working as it should be.

If members get "upset" because you banned them from a specific thread and start flooding with alternate threads - why not ban them from the entire forum? LadyBeth, you obviously don't have much experience administrating/moderating large boards.

LadyBeth

08-06-2007 09:47 PM

I do have experience with a fairly large forum, and I just don't want to ban everyone who gets cabin fever. I was just asking if anyone had a backlash from this, that's all.

Hi, guys ! :)

Could ameliorate your hack to enable mods to ban user from a thread ?

It could be excellent ! ;)

Thanks,
