FractalizeR: Show items, awaiting moderation in notifications area
 

What does it do?
This hack shows all items, that require moderation in a notifications area. Items are grouped by type:

• Threads
• Posts
• Group messages
• Visitor messages
• Picture comments
• Album pictures
• Users
• Calendar events

Clicking on a group redirects you to a moderation panel for that type of items.

You can also restrict, what usergroups can see notifications and what items you want to appear in notifications

Russian localization included.

How to install?

1. Install *.xml file via Admin Control Panel (Product management)

Files description:

• product-fr_notifymoditems.xml - main product XML. English localization included.
• vbulletin-language-ru.xml - russian localization. Import as a language overwritting russian.

This is very interesting, thanks! Tagged for later!

Tagged looks handy for my forum will install tonight!!

No menu
Attachment 116339

Same for me, just shows the number 8 and when you click on it theres nothing to do.

Can you post screenshots of the problem please?

We use moderator approved registrations and I basically am only interested having administrators see users awaiting registration approval in the notifications area. I installed the mod, but I can't tell that it's doing anything. As I understand it, I should be seeing the checked items listed, with or without pending action.

Any ideas?

Any screenshots of the vB4.X version?

Same here.

Tagged, seems very useful.

I see last update: today and then "Not Supported." I take it that the coder released this version and saw some of the problems and decided not to put any more time into it.

Is that correct?

No, that is not. On my forum mod works ok. Now I am looking into problem with user moderation not being displayed.

No. If there is nothing in your moderation queue, empty item is not displayed in menu. Do you have unmoderated users right now?

All bugs fixed. Please update to latest version. Screenshot update is on the way

Screenshots updated. Modification settings fixed. Now it is showing as Supported.

Now no problem
Thank you, very nice mod

Thanks for the response. I've updated to the current release and reactived the mod. I'm only going to use it for notifications of new registrations, so I'll have to wait for someone new to come along (we get a few a day).

The reason I was under the impression that, if activated, I'd see information listed under "Notifications" with our without items to moderate is because of the wording in the options:

Show notification even if count is zero
Text will be shown in notifications area even if there is nothing to notificate about (0)

I see that as saying that there will be information under notifications even if there is nothing pending. Please understand, I'm okay with it either way, just that I had that impression based on that option.

Also, I'll mention that I'm rather sensitive to "supported" or "not supported" right now because of the way the coder of the "Thanks" mod has just discontinued support leaving many users with a mod missing several features that weren't upgraded for vB4.

Thanks for your support of your nice mod!

Yea, Abe1 disappointed me as well. I am slowly switching to Helpful answers mod instead because of that.

I will check how options affect mod behaviour, thanks for bug report. Stay tuned.

I've searched VBulletin code and it seems, VBulletin now hides notifications with 0 items count itself:
It seems, that I should remove that option from plugin.

Ok, non-working option removed. Russian translation fixed.

Please don't forget to click Installed if you installed my mod.

Let me report back that your mod is working fine for me. The only thing moderated on our forum is registration so I had to wait till a couple of new ones came in to know for sure, but the notification worked just fine. Thanks!

An aside, how hard do you think it would be to get search capability going on the Thanks mod? Since it was working before the upgrade to vB4, I'd think (easy for me, a non coder to say) it wouldn't be that hard to get to working.

Thanks for this mod, thats excatly what i need!

installed & rated

installed thanks. any way this can notify of articles awaiting moderation?

I didn't use CMS yet. I will have a look, but a little later.

I am not sure, I will try to have a look. It looks a bit complex for me. But it seems, that forum rules prohibit to rerelease modifications... :( May be I can try to release a patch.

I installed this now its putting posts in moderation from my rss feeds which it wasnt happening before so ive temp disabled it now posts normal, any idea what this is?

This mod doesn't change database structure at all. It just reads it to determine the items, waiting for moderation. So, it can't put anything to moderation queue itself.

That's weird. It says in my notifications that 3 threads are awaiting moderation. But when I click it, no threads are showing up. And when I check the AdminCP it says:

Mine says I have two threads waiting, but there are no threads awaiting moderation...

Thanks for reporting, I will check.

nice mod, very helpful
will bookmark this for my 4.0 installs :)

Can these posts be deleted before you had a chance to look into them?

Come again? I have no idea what posts needs to be accepted. I have no idea why it even says I need to accept 3 of them.

I mean, when you move from main forum page (where you see 3 threads to moderate) to admincp (where this number shown is zero) and then back, do you see again 3 posts in moderation queue?

Here you go:

At the Forums:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1273049715

When I click on it:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1273049807

In the AdminCP:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1273049715

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1273049884

And yes, I still see it even I go to the moderation view of all threads in the AdminCP back to the refreshment on the forum homepage.

Thanks, I will look. I noticed that admincp queries are almost like mine....

Any updates regarding this? :)

FractalizeR, I just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying having your mod on my forum. I only activated the "new registration" part of the mod, as we manually approve all registrations, but don't do any moderation of posts.

I used to get emails on new registrations, but would be busy and forget about them. Now, everything I go to the forum, it's there in Notifications.

I have another member of the team who has helped with registrations and I see that he's handling more of them than before. I think it's because of the Notifications of new registrations.

Thanks again for the good work.

I am actually having the same issues as FF|Skyrider, has there been any determinations for what causes this?

Great mod, just what I was looking for but... Installed on 4.0.5 and I dont have the zero option in the admincp and seems I get a duplicate notification during my testing.

I unapproved one of my existing profile visitor messages and it added "Visitor messages awaiting moderation" as well as "Unapproved Visitor Messages". The second one is the vB system one as you can tell by the phrase text is all proper case vs yours with all lowercase except the very first letter in the message.

Edit: when I approve the visitor message, both notifications go away.

Edit2: Can you add Attachment moderation also? I added it myself but others may like it too :)

Be great if this was updated as I take it, it will not work on 4.0.6

I will try to discover and fix recovered issues soon, but I am pretty much disappointed with VB 4.x and I am going to stop developing for it. Waiting for XenForo to switch my forums to it. I am tired of struggling with VB.
