at the moment, I use Usergroup permissions to ban members from posting in all threads

That would be like banning them from the entire forum, wouldn't it? :)

It's way more useful if you could just ban the problematic users only from the particular thread that they're "fighting" in. Well, now you can! :) This way, you could punish members by restricting them access to the thread and still save the thread for the other users to discuss.

Let me know how you and your admins like it when you install it :)

Never had this problem on 4.1.2. Working on it...
Anyone else experiencing problems?

From a development standpoint, wouldn't it make more sense to have this mod use the thread table instead of the datastore? That would eliminate the one query that's currently being added to each showthread pageload. After all, you only really ever care about the thread that you're currently viewing. If you wanted to get a global snapshot of all threads with bans a select where thread.btu != NULL query could be used.

I'll likely end up installing this if such a modification is made. Or, if I have some extra time, I'd be more than willing to try making it given your permission (this would be for the 3.x version of the plugin).

This is very useful, could this be edited to allow certain other usergroups to use it?

For example, vendors could ban certain competing vendors from posting in their threads taking them off track?

Hi, I have correctly installed this mod, and it runs fine, but when I go to "View All Thread Bans" on top of the page appear the following code:

Code:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: navbar in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3957



Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homez.334/lvalhall/board/postings.php(210) : eval()'d code(92) : eval()'d code on line 1



Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: btu_bans in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3957

What is it??
The page shows correctly users who have been banned, but I don't know what mean this code error... :confused:

Thank you, mark as installed and 5*

Nothing serious, the mod (banning) still works. I'll post an update that fixes this error soon. ;)

Great mod!

I would also like to request the ability for moderators to do this, as well as admins. Our mods are regularly telling people not to post in a thread again, and this hack will be very handy.

It would also be great to add a reason, which could then appear on the user message: "You have been removed from this thread because xxx". It would also appear when admins view the thread bans list.

Make sure you have the ban icon (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/) in /images/site_icons/ignore.png. If not, save it and add it there.

The modification uses this (default and already existing) icon from vBulletin 4 on purpose, so it would spare you the trouble of uploading a custom icon via FTP manually. But, in case for any reason you don't have the icon in your /images/site_icons folder - you should upload it manually :)

At the moment, that option is not available, but it's in my to-do list.
However, there is a simple work-around that will allow your moderators to ban users from threads - but it's kinda tricky. It will give your moderators permissions to ban users from threads even on forums that they don't moderate.

However, I must advise you to be patient. Both features you mentioned are in my to-do list.

To-Do:

- Allow Mods/Supermods to use thread bans [optional];
- Time ban [hours, days, weeks...];
- Display ban reason when user tries to enter thread;
- Notification for banned users via PM.

I still have this issue and uploading that .png file did not resolve it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yep. I had the same thing and used Firebug to compare the code for this icon/link in the user info to others there, e.g. 'View Forum Posts'. I noticed that in the others, the image paths were missing the leading '/'

I edited the xml file for this mod to remove it, reinstalled the mod, and it's sorted.

So, open the xml file in a text editor, go to line 62 and change it from ...

<img src="/images/site_icons/ignore.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase btu_unban}">

to

<img src="images/site_icons/ignore.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase btu_unban}">

Save, and reinstall.

sola	02-26-2011 12:04 PM

Good catch oatsy. Problem solved. Thanks a lot.

Coder may want to take note and fix the path in the file for the benefit of others.

Now one this ....
If the forums is not installed at root the image ignore.png ll not load coz it tries to load image
http://yourdomain/images/site_icons/ignore.png
so if you have forums like in forum directory it should load from here
http://yourdomain/forums/images/site_icons/ignore.png
but it stall loads from old path http://yourdomain/images/site_icons/ignore.png....

i guess this needs to be fixed.

Two things:

1) All staff levels need to be able to ban/unban (as has been stated)

2) There needs to be an indicator on the banned persons post(s) in the thread letting us know that he is banned from it.

Thanks

Thanks for this. Haven't tested it yet, but seems to be working well on 4.1.1.
