It has support for the following types of moderation:

• Thread: Move
• Thread: Delete
• Thread: Undelete
• Thread: Stick

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

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!

Hi,

I have a problem with unicode..

If I edit a post and, put the reason in Arabic (windows-1256), the edit reason is sent to the poster as:

%u062A%u0639%u062F%u064A%u0644 %u0627%u0644%u0631%u0627%u0628%u0637

I habe a problem with Usernames and special characters.

The Users that UserNames contains special characters becomme no PM about moderating threads. Charackters like <<<>>>.

[Ncturnal]

I'd personally not let users have usernames with those characters in it. < & > will be problematic for obvious reasons if you know the slightest about coding.

Alan ,I appreciate you're not around until early September, but may I offer a functionality suggestion for you to consider during your absence?
I would like to be able to exclude certain usergroups from receiving these PMs.
Might this be a possibility?

I've a strange problem - it may be a bug, had this working fine in 3.5.4 - upgraded the forum to 3.6 and upgraded the product to the 3.6 version. I have some forums that we have excluded from generating auto-pms, and this works fine except for one Moderator, whenever they move/edit/delete a post or thread in that section it still generates a PM, (in fact I think this happens for this Moderator in all the excluded forums). Anyone else seen this happen?

[Chadi]

I uninstalled this and deleted the 3 files but for some resaon it still shows up in admincp. (cleared cache/cookies too)

[Snake]

I was wondering if this is gonna work on 3.6.1?

[Tom1234]

bump. Anyone using this on 3.6.1?

[SportsZone]

I am and it works fine!

[Tom1234]

ok, I used "Thread Tools" | "Move Thread" to move a thread to the designated "Recycle Bin Forum" yet the PM the thread starter received says "The following thread that you created has been moved" and lists the Original Forum and a blank for New Forum, rather than just saying it was deleted.

Is that the way it's supposed to work? This is vB 3.6.1.
