Reported post creates new thread.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This plugin modifies the reported post system to create a new thread in a pre-selected forum and disables the send of reported post e-mails. This is a port of the version run on our forums, which is based on the original Xenon hack. This is posted with his permission.

Version 2.01 is now released as a product. Download the xml file and then import it into your forum using the product manager.

Everything you need is now imported - there is also no need to edit the plugin anymore - instead you set the id of your reported posts forum in the vBulletin Options > General Settings area.

If you wish to upgrade from version 1 then delete the current plugins and template associated with this hack - then import the product - and set the forum id in the vb options.



History:

v2.01 : First Release.

{
      $report_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo(142);
}
else
{
      $report_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($vbulletin->options['reportforum']);

thx but i get this then:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/xxx/apache/htdocs/vbulletin/report.php(176) : eval()'d code on line 3




Found it, seems to be a php glitch.

Workaround:

PHP Code:

$foruminstead = 142;

if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == 16)
{
      $report_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($foruminstead);
}
else
{
      $report_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($vbulletin->options['reportforum']);
}

Thanks for this I was running Xenon's 3.0 version with some modifications prior to having upgraded to 3.5.4 recently, so was glad to find an easy plugin to do this.

With Xenon's old hack I had modified it slightly. On our forum, we preferred the title being shorter ("Alert" instead of "Reported Post In") and seeing the username of the member being alerted, rather than the thread that the alert came from. I did the same to this hack, editing the XML as follows.

Original:

'title' => 'Reported post in : ' . $threadinfo['title']

Changed to:

'title' => 'Alert: ' . $postinfo[username]

This hack is VERY useful to me, we use it constantly..

I have two main issues that get reported on my boards. I'd like each issue to go create new thread in a separate forum, that way the people who deal with issue a have all their reports in one place, and people who deal with issue b have theirs somewhere else. Is there a way to either:

1. Have two separate report post buttons, one for issue a and one for issue b? and each go to a unique forumid when submitted.

2. Or have some sort of drop down subject select in the report post function, where they can pick issue a or issue b as what they are reporting, and according to which one they pick, it sends the report to forum a or forum b?

Hi Paul, great hack!

It is also possible to show the moderators of the subforum, where the report was made?
