Moderators Functions - Moderation Auto-PM v2.0.1

Moderation Auto-PM
Version 2.0.1

What is it?
Moderation Auto-PM will automaticly send a Private Message to the user whenever their thread, post or attachment is moderated using the Thread Tools or Inline Moderation Tools.

It has support for the following types of moderation:

• Thread: Move
• Thread: Delete
• Thread: Undelete
• Thread: Stick
• Thread: Unstick
• Thread: Open
• Thread: Close
• Thread: Approve
• Thread: Unapprove
• Thread: Title Edit
• Post: Edit
• Post: Move
• Post: Delete
• Post: Undelete
• Post: Approve
• Post: Unapprove
• Attachment: Approve
• Attachment: Unapprove

All options can be turned on/off in the AdminCP. Moderation Auto-PM will not show the user where their thread is being moved to/from if they do not have permission to view the forum. You can also set a "master" exclude list of forum IDs that will never be touched by Moderation Auto-PM.

What's new in Version 2.0.1?

• Added support for opening and closing threads by double-clicking on the thread icon
• Fixed a bug caused by a missing phrase

Credit for this release goes to ConqSoft, as he notice the missing phrase bug, and suggested the new Ajax open/close feature

What's new in Version 2.0?

• Fully compatible with both vB 3.5.4 and vBulletin 3.6 Beta 2 or above! :banana:
• Support for editing posts / titles using the ajax quick edit bits
• Support for deleting posts via quick edit
• Don't send a PM if you are moderating your own thread
• Send a Delete PM instead of a Move PM if moved to a particular forum (ie, a recycle bin type forum)
• Age Cutoff Point - if the item is over a certain age, a PM won't be sent
• A couple of tiny bugfixes that no-one noticed

How do I install / configure it?
Please see the install.txt file contained within the zip.


How do I upgrade?
If you are upgrading from a previous version of this mod (any version), just upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones and re-import the Product XML, making sure you set "Allow Overwrite" to Yes.

If you are upgrading from PM on Thread Move, please uninstall that hack first, then install this one following the instructions in install.txt


Thanks go to redlabour for kindly providing a German translation for the phrases and to everyone who nominated this mod or voted for this mod in HotM June

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

I've only tested it on the latest vBulletin version (3.5.4), but there is no reason why it wouldn't work on 3.5.3.

Thanks,

Alan...

Can you please give upgrade instructions from your old pm on thread move hack?

Many thanks,

[Alan @ CIT]

To upgrade, uninstall PM on Thread Move, then install this one

Since they are different hacks, there isn't a direct upgrade path so to speak, just uninstall, then install.

Thanks,
Alan.

The same applies if they cannot see the forum the thread was in (ie, you moved it to an admin area, and are moving it back to public), it will tell them the destination forum, but not the forum it was in (the admin one).

Thanks,
Alan.

We have an unusual setup for our board .... we have a deleted thread archive (which is just a subforum of one of our mod forums) that we toss many of our deleted threads (we mainly only delete threads that have gotten out of control) into. We tell the OP that their thread has been deleted, but it essentially only gets moved to another private forum. Is there a way to make threads that are moved to certain forums say that the thread has just been deleted, instead of moved?

How can I change the message to say from Forum Management to something else?

Yep, the "Many thanks, Forum Management" signature is in the AdminCP -> Options -> Moderation AutoPM - General Options

Thanks,
Alan.

Unfortunately, this cannot be done in it's current state.

The closest options there are at the moment, are the ability to totally exclude a forum. So if you moved the thread to your private sub-forum, a PM wouldn't be sent at all.

Or just the standard move option, where if the user cannot view the private sub-forum, it will tell them it's moved but not tell them where it's been moved to.

Many thanks,
Alan.

I just installed it. Worked like a charm, installation and the function itself.

I also like the implementation in the phrase system.

Thank you for a great mod!
