improved postreporting system the vb 3.5.x port
 

hi,

first this is a port of this hack and i post this with the original authors permission

this thingy modifies the vbulletin "report post to moderator" feature.It has a global switch in the admincp when switched off post reporting is as normal (like build into vbulletin).The postrporter(s) cans ee a table off the posts) they reported and a modorated can provide feedback through the modcp

optionally is the scheduled task which allows you to remove reports based on the date cutoff (specied in the system settings)you can also se this setting to "0" and choose "run now" to remove all reports at once.

like all scripts that modify your database i'd like to say please remember to have a recent backup ...

i'm also working on porting this to the plugin system so the fileedits are no longer needed but that's not quite ready yet

instructions on howto install the system are in the zip

not working as it should ? errors ? give me a yell i'm allways around :cool:

vbulletin product
Here's a vbulletin product that does the same as the code modification.The only thing that isn't working yet is the "also email" option when somebody reports a post (i temporarly removed it)

installation is like any other vbulletin product.Plugin system => manage products => add product => import the xml

set the settings like you want (it has it's own settingsgroup) hit save and you're done

Optional is the cpnav_postreport.xml this adds the menu to the admincp to avoid admins must logins to the modcp.Upload this file to /includes/xml/

installation instructions for the product

• if you installed the system using the included installer run it again and choose uninstall (requirerd or you will get MySQL errors)
• download the product XML and import it to your productmanager in your admincp
• edit the postreportsystem settings and hit save

using the product the file edit in report.php is no longer needed

New release version 1.0.1(instrunctions)

• upload all files from the zip(no need to manually add the templates)
• import product-postreports.xml (this file contains the templates)
• goto vbulletin->options->postreport settings and adjust like you whish (click save when you're done)

with version 1.0.1 file edits are no longer needed it also calls build_language(); and build_language_datastore(); so no problems with phrases should occour

vBulletin 3.6.x contains similair functionalty by default sow it is not needed to install this on Bulletin 3.6.x

good to see someone porting a tool with the real permission.. ;)

no files btw... will they come soon?

a BETA tag in your title would be correct i think!

3)Add the postreports system templates (postreports & postreportbits)

Sorry Im kinda newb here.. what this and how do I do it?

1) in your admincp there is a thing called "style & templates" expand it choose the stylemanager.Now you see all the styles installed on your board choose a style where you want to add the templates and next to it there is a drop down menu (the first item is "all style options") choose "add a new template" there in this menu.Add the templates from the templates folder int he zip

make sure you use the correct names or you'll just get a white blank page because the system can't find the template

you must do this with all the styles you use

that should do it

*edit* oops. Wrong hack. :o

Do I have to enable Email Function in vB Options for this mod to work?

All moderators can view all reports, which are reported from all forums, in modcp?

Once this is out of BETA, I will definitely be installing. Much thanks!

Nice! I've been waiting for this. Thanks!

In your emaill update you said there are no more file edits, but I'm a bit confused. Can you update the instructions to how we should install it now? Much appreciated.

i have updated the first post ... you need to uninstall if you want to use the product
