Moderation Auto-PM v3.0.1
 

hi Folks,

This is a port of this for vBulletin 3.0.3 (long time ago)

I ported it to vBulletin 3.5.4 with the permission of the original author here

i see user requested it for vBulletin 3.7.3 here

so this hack does

• send a pm to the threadstarter upon moderation actions
• The pm content is completely phrased to allow easy translation for people not running an english board
• the pm automatically comes from the moderator who actually performes the moderation(if you leave the setting forthis blank)
• no pm when a user edits / deleted his own threads / posts
• support for the inlinemod system

this hack does not

• send an email instead of a pm
• split thread / posts not supported

Installation:

upload all *.php files to /includes
import the product xml (set allow overwrite to yes if you are updating from a previous version) There are three setting groups look under vbulletin options -> modpm_*

that's it

This is good stuff. You should try make it possible so the mod who is moderating is also the sender :up:

are u going to later code support for those things not supported?

good hack been using it since vb3.x

Well an email instead of a pm that should not be a problem but ....

split threads = this is a good place for possible errors because the user who's posts are getting splitted might not be the original threadstarter i don't know if you can get around this

inlinemod = well you do not want to send 100's of pm's (or emails for that matter) at once do you ? your host will be yelling at you !

hi,

Email instead of pm option is added (but not uploaded yet) i'm testing this.It's a switch in the admincp if you have users on your board yelling at you they hate private messages :D

Looking forward to this addon which should be included in vb by default

question, if i delete a post in a thread, just that post not the thread itself, shouldnt the person get an auto PM?

yes it should depending on the settings you have i will check right now on my testboard

edit

it is indeed not sending anything if you edit a post within a thread (go advanced and choose delete there) hmmmz that is not what i wanted naughty vBulletin

hi,

Fixed in cvs as they say it is sending the message now when deleting a post but i want to perform some more tests before i upload an update also i added the reason field for example if a moderator typed "please do not spam" the pmed / emailed user will see that there one downside to that that field (reason) is not defined everywhere only on editpost and deletepost so sometimes it is empty i don't know of a way to hide in this case yet

wouldnt it be something like <if=!""> code code code </if>
