Banned Users List + Auto-Post Editing
 

First hack released here, it's pretty useful too! I put a lot of work into it, I hope you guys will enjoy it :D

Afterfl0w's Banned Users List + Auto-Post Editing

Banned List?

I'm sure you all have a basic idea of what a ban list is and does. But for those who don't, this is a script that will be uploaded to your forum, and when you view it, it will display all current and past bans. This banlist LOGS all bans in a table, to set a permanent example for new users.

The banlsit is useful for showing new users exact reasons for getting punished, ect.


Auto Post Editing?

This is a completely new feature that I haven't seen before. What this does, is if the user is banned straight from their post, via a link (shown below):



If they are banned via this link, it will auto-edit their post with a message saying "User banned for this post: [reason]". The screenshot below differs a tad because it has been customized for that forum:



This is amazing. How Do I Install?

Easy. Download the attachted Zip, upload files and follow the file edit directions in the install.txt.

Afterwards, you must edit the banlist_banbit template to accomidate your needs for the bantype. Eg:

You can edit the texts PERMABAN and TIMEOUT, and also the usergroupIDs of your banned usergroups. Do not edit the other parts, otherwise there will be links to the post even if there isn't one.


Questions? Support?

You can contact me on MSN at: flamethrower_stickattack@hotmail.com
I don't mind helping you customize the hack, since it could be a challenge for people newer to PHP. Just add me to MSN or E-Mail me and tell me you're from vB.org

Posting here would be a better idea, but if you prefer MSN or E-mail, feel free.


I'm not going to post a link forcing you to install this hack, but installs are greatly appreciated :D


Have a nice day all! :banana:

First post. Looks great! I'm installing!

Thanks :)

I'll have an update within a few days to add sorting functions (sort by: username, userid, banid, bandate, liftdate, bantype)

:) idea is really nice...

can u add 'Miserable User" list too ?

on is banning.php file?

Hi

Didnt work for me :(
I get a blank page when i goto showbans.php

Any ideas please?

Does this also show banned users on the forum home? EG like the one here - scroll and look for the Event Log.

Are you sure you installed the templates properly? Correct names and everything?

If you add edit the usergroup to make it a 'BANNED USERGROUP' then it'll show up on the list. You'll have to add it to the types, though.

Not really hard to do. Just make a forum saying "Event Log" and make it a link to showbans.php :)

Please re-word your question :D

Yes m8, as far as i know, I always copyu an paste so cant go wrong there :)
