Show Thread Enhancements - Add Ignore User To Postbit Dropdown

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack has now been discontinued. This means that while it will remain available for download and use, if people find that this hack conflicts with any other hack, I would advise that you un-install this hack as I am no longer monitoring this thread and this hack will not be upgraded at all. I am also not interested in doing paid work requests to update this hack at all.



What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is an update to my 3.8.x version of this hack, designed to work with vBulletin v4.0.x.

A simple hack that will display an option to ignore a user in the postbit (or postbit legacy) dropdown menu (see screenshots for a visual example).

This will not show up in your own posts, as you would not really want to try ignoring yourself. It also does not show for guests.

This hack is fully phrased.


vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]hr[/hr]
This hack can only be used with v4.0.0 and later versions.

For the v3.8.x version of this hack, which will also work with v3.7.x and v3.6.x - check here.

  If upgrading from an earlier version, then set Allow Overwrite to Yes.

Uninstall Instructions[hr]hr[/hr]

I want the next release. I have updated my mod it should start working on the upgrade.

Since I was playing around I modified the template for yours while I was playing if you care to use it, it is posted below. I have a bit of time on my hands right this second. I hope you don't mind me posting it. You probably already adjusted on your own I am sure. But what the heck here it is anyway.

			<a href="profile.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=addlist&amp;userlist=ignore&amp;u={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}" rel="nofollow">
				<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/x.png" alt="" />
				{vb:phrase add_x_to_ignore_list, {vb:raw post.username}}
			</a>
		</li>

I can not get this to work, even with the new template hook, the correct template gets called, but does not render, so something is being blocked when the function construct_memberaction_dropdown is called

I can however make this work with a template edit, so until I sort it out I will not be releasing an update and will be marking this In Beta

I couldn't figure it out either. It was a pita.

Look here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1935793

I gave up and re-wrote the whole darn template.

Sugestion: When a user posts on a thread of mine, and its on the Ignore List, all posts that pestilant user makes on my thread will automatically be considered "not wanted" and the other users of the forum shouldn't see the post also (like displaying a ignored message).

Excellent Mod.

Hi all,

It is with regret that after over 4 years (and thousands of hours) spent providing free support for my free hacks released here, as of today I will no longer be able to provide support for free.

This is due to being unemployed for a while, being strapped for cash and unable to rely on the virtually non-existant donations from here to help to pay the bills or put food on the table for my family. I am now providing all support for my free hacks released here over at Wolfshead Solutions via an annual support subscription (for a small fee).

It does not mean I will be no longer release free hacks, I will, but I will just no longer be supporting them for free.

My free hacks have and always will remain free to download and use. And so will updates/bug fixes.

I will be releasing more free hacks, but if you require any support at all for those free hacks, you will need to purchase an annual support subscription over at Wolfshead Solutions to receive support.

I am really sorry I have to do this, but revenue generated by my programming gigs are now my only source of income, and I can no longer afford the luxury of providing free support here, when that time can be spent creating new commerial products, doing paid work requests or providing paid support to pay the bills.

Thank you for the understanding.

Regards,

Mosh.

FYI, there is a conflict with the following mod:

"Find all started threads" in postbit & postbit_legacy dropdown

If I enable your mod, the other mod doesn't show. If I disable your mod, then the other shows.
