I just installed this... It's not working at all.

I am on 3.7.0... perhaps that is the problem?

I haven't tested it on 3.7.0 yet, but if you followed the installation steps and you're sure you made no mistakes, most likely - that is the problem. Only 3.7.1 and above. Maybe if you tell us what error you get, we'll try to solve the problem.

Actually NVM... for some reason the edits didn't save... bleh. Thanks!

I'm glad it works on 3.7.0 too! : )

thank you ^^

Hey there !

Great mod, works perfectly on my site ! :up:

I've enhanced it in order to allow mods and supermods to ban user from thread.

Just re-upload the xml file in the admincp (allow overwrite -> yes).

You can choose to give or not the ability to mods and supermods to ban from a thread in the templates modifications (see the new README file in this post's attachments) : just modify the usergroups you want in this line :

(at the start of every template modifications).

Thanks Julrou! : ) But it sure needs more development before realeasing the new version.

I wouldn't like Moderators to have permissions to ban users on ALL forums, but instead - just on the forums they are assigned to moderate. We also have to keep the installation proccess simple - no manual tempate edits. If you're interested, we could both develop this mod and publish it. The sooner - the better.

However, if anyone wants to give all moderators the permisson to ban users from threads on all forums - install Julrou's modification. Tested - it works ;)

No problem!
I could be cool ! :up:
PM me :D:up:

Thanks :) for this great Hack :)

But you can, add the name of the Moderator/Admin who has banned a user from Thread?

eg.:
Thanks: ) in Advance

you can use can_moderate() instead

I'm glad this has been ported, man did I miss this. Thanks a lot! :D

how about having a ban period for the threads? canu implement ban feature for subforum?

the ip icon is no longer visible for moderator

It's kind of normal at this time : only admins can used this mod (except if you use my way, see messages above...).

already tried your way. mods stillc ant see the ip icon :(

I will have to give this a shot. I liked the old Mod for 3.6.X, but all of the file edits made it not worth it after an upgrade. This looks much more user friendly.

mods cant move the threads. im uninstalling this mods.. its too unstable

The mod is not unstable. Noone else seem to have problems, but you.
You're either not following the installation manual, or there is a conflict with some of your modifications. :erm:

Ip icon shows, mods can move threads, no side effects...

Does this have a spot in the AdminCP > vbulletin options? I thought it may be editable for usergroups.

Thanaks thats exactly what i needed.

Not yet. Only admins (and eventualy moderators) have permission to ban users from threads.

Have you noticed any bugs with the modification in this post? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....49&postcount=9

I installed that instead of teh original in order to have mods be able to use this, and now it is banning users from random threads all over the place. The original mod was working fine and not doing this. Any ideas?

Great mod...very much looking forward to:
- Allow Mods/Supermods to use thread bans [optional];
- Time ban [hours, days, weeks...];

what is the difference between v3.6 and v3.7? i have the old one installed, and it still works fine after upgrading vB to 3.7.

doesn't work with 3.7.2! Any ideas or updates? Tried to install but got DB error!

ok I have an update in case anyone else has a problem with this. I hate when people say ok it works now and doesn't explain to others how they fixed it so they help everyone!! :)

I had previously deleted an earlier version of this mod. After looking at the database error I was getting while importing the product, it showed there was a duplicate entry in the "datastore" field. So I went into myphp and found under datastore, the BTU entry, removed it and closed out myphp.

I then retried the import of the product and it worked. Now my mods on my site will be happy, lol.

ok another update. It is not working for me. Yes I followed all the templates add ons in the instructions.

When I choose ban user from there, it says unbanned user from thread.

So I try it again and it continues to say the same thing over and over!!

Any ideas?

wow this is hurting my head. This is what I found.

If you click on the users name and have the box pop up and you select the words "ban user from thread" it doesn't work, you get the unbanned user from thread wording, BUT

if you click on the IMAGE in the profile (ban image) it works! lol

Need to figure out why the pop up box part isn't working. Since I seem to have good luck with say "any ideas" I'll say it again

Any ideas?

ok pop up box is working, must have just needed to refresh browser!!

Perfect. Thank You.

Mate, it is NOT banning random users from random threads, I asure you.

Note that by using the modified installation (Julrou's modification) - ALL your moderators have permission to ban users from ALL threads. So I'm pretty sure that your moderators are setting the bans all over your forum. That's why I recommend everyone the original installation.

:eek:
I try to install this version.. i insert array(5,6,7)) (moderator, GM and admin) but ALL THE USERS can ban EVERYONE from a thread :eek:

Well, if your REGISTERED USERS usergroup has grupID 5, 6, or 7... they will have permission to ban. You need to see the IDs for Administrators, Super Moderators and Moderators gropus and replace them with 5, 6 and 7. The group IDs can be different...

If you are not sure what to do with Julrou's modification, just install the original mod in the first post.

Yes of course i've checked before that my usergroup 5,6 and 7 were Admin/GM and Mod.
No problem, i've make some error of course. ^^

I love this mod and i've installed it 'normally' but it was nice if i can use it for my moderator :P
Thanks anyway, i try to reinstall it. ;)

edit: i think i make it right now, thanks. :)

Is there any way to see who banned a member from a thread?

Hi,
I've installed the mod and it seems to be working fine, except for the threadban and threadunban images are not showing up. :confused: I've uploaded the two images to the images/buttons/ folder. Did I put them in the wrong place or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good job on the mod. I like it. ;-)

Just updating this to say its working fine with 3.7.3 :)
