New Thread on User Banning by BOP5
 

The purpose of this mod is to create a new thread in a forum you specify whenever any user is banned.

NEW In Version 1.3 - More REPLACEMNTS available in post body. {USERNAMEL} and {BANNEDBYL} are now links to the profiles of the user who was banned and the user who banned them, respectfully. In addition {USERID} and {BANNEDBYID} have been added in case you have any use for them.

Also as of version 1.3 this version no longer works on VB 4.x. Please see the VB 4.x thread for a different version.

NEW In Version 1.2 - Set a minimum post count for a user before a "new thread" is created on their banning- this way you don't bother making threads for spammers with just a handful of posts.

The title and message posted is easily customized, as is the username of the thread starter.

This has been tested on vBulletin 3.8.6 and it should work on all versions of 3.8.x. It may work on earlier versions too. See this thread for a VB4 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=257041

Read the info txt file in the .zip for full instructions.

See the screenshots for more details.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this. :)

also Reserved thanks .

Joe, for the forum id option, replace this:


with this:


That way, you get a drop down forum listing to choose the forum from.

In your Admin CP -> Forum Manager click on the forum you want and your forumid will be in the very top of the table.

Thanks Boofo! I'll try this code and update ASAP.

I tried to get you in IM to give it to you there, so I wouldn't have to clutter up your thread. ;)

Thanks... yeah my computer rebooter and I forgot to open AIM/AOL. Just updated to version 1.1 with the new forum selector. :up:

You might want to update the readme file as it still shows version 1.0.

hm, not mod but I wouldn't want to showcase the spammers
all my threads would be "user X is banned for spamming"..lol
I could see it being helpful in the reported post forum, or a moderator forum ;)

D'oh!

I updated the instructions but not the version number... all fixed now. Thanks.

This is great, i've got a Banned Users sub forum in a mod only section & this'll save me some time... Thanks a lot BirdOPrey5

Works great. Nice job as always Joe.

NEW In Version 1.2 - Set a minimum post count for a user before a "new thread" is created on their banning- this way you don't bother making threads for spammers with just a handful of posts.

very nice,
one question, as there any option to make a settings for {USERNAME} and {BANNEDBY} in message area to show their full profile link..
example: http://www.noeman.org/gsm/banned-members/

Yes, I think I can do that... will update this thread when I add that feature.

I have updated this to v 1.3 with new replacements including {USERNAMEL} and {BANNEDBYL} which are linked versions of each, with links to their respective profiles.

Wow............I believe you can do anything....
Great Work and Thx a lot once again

but another addition if possible will be great

IT can create ban information thread in a specific forum, and it'll be great if you can add another option which can create posts in a specific thread.

is it possible to use this as new posts in a thread?????

Yeah i'm sure I can let it post to one thread instead of making a new thread each time, but it will be a while (few days? couple weeks?) before I add that ability.

wow,.................that will make your MOD 100% Perfect................................
I am waiting for that addition

Thanks to you.......

works fine on 4.1.5 , i edit the file , i change the product check , thanks a lot , great mod.

There is a native vb4 version as mentioned in the first post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=257041

Oh My God , i am blind , now i see it , i will remove that and install this one. Thanks a lot , its excellent modification.

Joe how does this add-on work ? Is it a ban via infraction or ban via ACP or via ModCP ? or does this work for all ?

It works no matter how the user is banned. It is called on the hook every time a usergroup is changed. Shouldn't matter how.

I've got problem using this mod,
thread it is'nt created and after banning i'm getting no ban message (only background)
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

What do you mean "only background"?
What version of VB are you using?
How are you banning a user, admin cp or some other way?

Hi

For only background i mean this: http://i55.tinypic.com/2ni718y.png

I'm using latest 3.8 vbulletin and banning from admincp

Thanks!

If you go to your Admin CP -> Plugin Manager

Find the plugin: New Thread on Banning and "edit" it...

Are these the last few lines of that plugin?

last lines are

I really can't imagine what the issue can be then. Do you by chance have a test forum where this is installed that I can play with without affecting your live board?

Not really, i think that the problem it's related with another hack... but i dunno wich it's... i'll try to investigate

If you look in your plugin manager in Admin CP, any other mod that uses the hook userdata_postsave would be a prime suspect.

I'm using DragonByte Tech: vBShout (Lite), if u have time can u please check if they are compatible?

Great thanks

This one? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=241651

YEs!

I'm seeing no reason that mod should conflict... Do you have any other suspects? You can temp-disable a mod to see if disabling it makes this one work- if we can confirm which mod is conflicting that way I can work on a solution.

Hi
After a couple of testing, i found that this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=242734 it's the problem!

You are correct. I installed the mod on my test site and banning is now producing an error:

Unfortunately it's a problem with that mod as you can see so I really can't do anything about it. You could post this info in his thread and see if he has any ideas.

Great Thanks BirdOPrey5
