Make moderated posts go into private forum instead of queue?

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I am in the process of changing and tweaking vB to be more like the customer support databse similar to RightNow type software. See this link for an example of what I'm talking about. Does anyone have a hack similar to this yet?

Here is what I haven't been able to figure out yet:
1) I'd like to have all the new threads by registered users moderated, and have the threads go into a private forum, instead of the moderation queue, which is pretty bulky to deal with (I am expecting over 100 threads/day).

1a) If #1 can't be done, how can I set the default "validate" value to "no" in the post moderation queue page?

2) When a registered user is submitting a post, I'd like the "new thread" button to take them to an HTML page with rules, and at the bottom of that page a link will take them to the new thread posting page. I'm told this takes a php hack, but how do I do this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

edit newthread.php find:

PHP Code:


		
			
  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO thread

Before that add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo['moderatenew']!=0) {$oldforumid=$forumid;$forumid=X;}

And before:

PHP Code:


		
			
// update forum stuff

add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo['moderatenew']!=0) {$forumid=$oldforumid;}

Replace X with your private forum id..

As for your second request: what about editing newthread template and put your notices at the top? That requires no hacking and IMO quite effective..

If you want this notice displayed to certain people or in certain forums you can apply "advanced templates hack" first (it's in my profile), edit your newthread template and put a conditional at the top like:

[[($forumid==X and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==Y)]]
Your notices go here..
[[/($forumid==X and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==Y)]]

For instance this conditional will display your notices in only forum X and if viewer is from usergroup Y. (FYI. for registered users usergroup id =2)

Enjoy..

Logician is a legend. :) If he released all his request answers as hacks, he'll have hundreds of hacks to his name.

Logician, I'm hoping you can help out once again.

Your hack suggestion works great, however is there a way to make the the user threads submitted into each forum go into a subforum of the forum it was submitted in, until it's validated by an admin?

The hack you offered makes the threads go into a single forum and it is hard to sort the threads into the proper forum, because we have so many forums.

I hope I'm not being nitpicky or confusing, thanks again!

yes it is possible:

Replace

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo['moderatenew']!=0) {$oldforumid=$forumid;$forumid=X;}

AS:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo['moderatenew']!=0) 

{

$oldforumid=$forumid;

if ($forumid==X1) {$forumid=X2;}

elseif ($forumid==Y1) {$forumid=Y2;}

elseif ($forumid==Z1) {$forumid=Z2;}

else {$forumid=W2;}

}

So as you see you have to enter all main forumids (X1,Y1,Z1) and their sub forumids (Z2,Y2,X2) in that code one by one. Make sure you dont forget any!

Enjoy. ;)

I hate to ask another question, but I did a search in newthread.php and did not find this line:

Code:

if ($foruminfo['moderatenew']!=0) {$oldforumid=$forumid;$forumid=X;}

Am I supposed to be looking in newthread.php or a different file?

it's our previous hack code. So you are supposed to look into this thread. :)
