I just installed this... It's not working at all.

I am on 3.7.0... perhaps that is the problem?

I haven't tested it on 3.7.0 yet, but if you followed the installation steps and you're sure you made no mistakes, most likely - that is the problem. Only 3.7.1 and above. Maybe if you tell us what error you get, we'll try to solve the problem.

Actually NVM... for some reason the edits didn't save... bleh. Thanks!

I'm glad it works on 3.7.0 too! : )

thank you ^^

Hey there !

Great mod, works perfectly on my site ! :up:

I've enhanced it in order to allow mods and supermods to ban user from thread.

Just re-upload the xml file in the admincp (allow overwrite -> yes).

You can choose to give or not the ability to mods and supermods to ban from a thread in the templates modifications (see the new README file in this post's attachments) : just modify the usergroups you want in this line :

(at the start of every template modifications).

Thanks Julrou! : ) But it sure needs more development before realeasing the new version.

I wouldn't like Moderators to have permissions to ban users on ALL forums, but instead - just on the forums they are assigned to moderate. We also have to keep the installation proccess simple - no manual tempate edits. If you're interested, we could both develop this mod and publish it. The sooner - the better.

However, if anyone wants to give all moderators the permisson to ban users from threads on all forums - install Julrou's modification. Tested - it works ;)
