vb.org Archive - PM+Email Warning For User

having to send warning PMs and Emails 'manualy' everyime I wanted to let my users know they'r breaking the forum's rules
made me make this small hack to automaticaly send a PM and a email with a preset msg for the type of rule he broke.
It also changes the user's info to make the PM popup. I commented it out of the script.

This is how I did it:

I created a new file named 'warnuser.php' (you can also very easily enter it in 'user.php') with this code in it:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

// alter table user add column warnings int default 0;

error_reporting(7);



require("./global.php");



## Edit Vars: ##

$ban = 1; // 0 = Never ban nomatter what; 1 = Ban after $numwarn has been passed

$numwarn = 3; // Number of warnings till user gets banned

$bannedgrp = 13; // Group id for banned users

## End Vars ##



$warning["new_spammer"]["title"] = "[Warning] Spamming On holev.com Forums!";

$warning["new_spammer"]["msg"] = "Considering you are a relatively new member I am letting you know that this forum does not tolerate spammers. Either you stop spamming or you will be banned.";



$warning["spammer"]["title"] = "[Warning] Spamming On holev.com Forums!";

$warning["spammer"]["msg"] = "I am letting you know that either you stop spamming or you will be banned.";



$warning["flamer"]["title"] = "[Warning] Flaming On holev.com Forums!";

$warning["flamer"]["msg"] = "I am letting you know that either you stop flaming or you will be banned.";



if(isset($touserid)) {

    $DB_site->query("update user set pmpopup='1',warnings=warnings+1 where userid='$touserid'");

    $useri = $DB_site->query_first("select * from user where userid='$touserid'");

    if(($useri[warnings] == "1") or ($ban == 0)) {

        $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (touserid,userid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid) VALUES ($touserid,$bbuserinfo[userid],$bbuserinfo[userid],'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($warning[$why][title]))."','".addslashes($warning[$why][msg])."',".time().",'1','0',0,0)"); 

        mail($toemail,$warning[$why]["title"],$warning[$why]["msg"],"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

        echo "User Warned.";

    } elseif($useri[warnings] > $numwarn) {

        $bannedtl = "[holev forums] You have been banned.";

        $bannedmsg = "You ignored the warnings and got yourself banned. congrats.";

        $DB_site->query("update user set usergroupid=$bannedgrp where userid='$touserid'");

        $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid) VALUES ($touserid,$bbuserinfo[userid],$bbuserinfo[userid],'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($bannedtl))."','".addslashes($bannedmsg)."',".time().",'1','0',0,0)");

        mail($toemail,$bannedtl,$bannedmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

        echo "User BANNED.";

    }

} else {

    echo "eeek";

}

?>

then I opened up 'user.php' and right above this line of code (near line 200):

PHP Code:


		
			
<li>".makelinkcode("Send email to $user[username]","mailto:$user[email]")."</li>

I added:

PHP Code:


		
			
<li>Warn ( $user[warnings] ): ".makelinkcode("Spamming","warnuser.php?touserid=$user[userid]&why=spammer&toemail=$user[email]")." | ".makelinkcode("First Spam","warnuser.php?touserid=$user[userid]&why=new_spammer&toemail=$user[email]")." | ".makelinkcode("Flaming","warnuser.php?touserid=$user[userid]&why=flamer&toemail=$user[email]")."</li>

Ran This SQL command:

Code:

alter table user add column warnings int default 0;

Updates
=======
v0.3 - Fixed a silly PM sending mistake
v0.2 - Added a warning counter that bans the user when counter exceeds the limit
=======

Hope this comes in handy for some of you.
please post any suggestions / improvements you might have.[PHP]
