vB Report Manager 2.1 (Admin CP) - Report to Email, PM, Staff Forum as a new Thread!

By Dr Erwin Loh

What does this hack do?

When a member reports a post, the report goes to:

1) Email (as per normal)
2) PM
3) A new thread in your private Staff Forums
4) In the report, there will be a link to the new thread in your private Staff Forums

Or ANY of the above combination!

The thread title now has the Date/ Time of Report, Originating Forum and Reported Poster!

There is now Admin CP support under vBulletin Options - you can choose to switch on or off any of the notification methods, and set the FORUM ID for the Staff Forum you want the posts to appear in.

All you need to do is run install_vbreport.php and modify 1 file - report.php.

Update Version 2.0

1. Added Admin CP support - choose to switch on and off each notification method. Also specify your Staff Forum ID in Admin CP.

2. Added more info to the THREAD TITLE - now with NAME OF FORUM, USERNAME OF POSTER, AND DATE/ TIME OF REPORT!

Update Version 2.1

1. Fixed email option bug

2. Fixed URL parsing bug

To upgrade, it's easiest just to reinstall this hack over a CLEAN REPORT.PHP file.

Admin CP installer and install instructions in HTML file in ZIP below.
Screenshots attached. :)

Enjoy!

nice one ! once more hack will be installed :D

i'd REALLY love to get this feature back on our super busy board

can i ask though, is it possible to have the option to post in one thread rather than a new thread each report as the vb2.x hack did? it is so well used on our site, that 10 reports a day is the minimum and i don't want my staff forums cluttered

thanks so much in advance

I'm getting this error

Any ideas?

VB3 RC1

Did you do step (b) properly? The userid is not being sent.

I've been running this hack for almost a year now. :) Since vB2. It's worked with no problems since.

Please be aware, sometimes the code is replaced, sometimes new code is added below, or ABOVE. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY. :)

Nice addition Erwin :) Glad to see more hacks comming from you again :) Thanks.!

Yes, and just for good measure, I re-did the whole thing again, same problem.

[EDIT]
BTW, It does create the post in the forum, but does not send the email and gives this error
[/EDIT]

Very cool hack. I'll give this a shot :)

Mmm... I rechecked my code - it's the same as what I've got. You've got RC1 right? Mmm... I don't understand.
