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.

That's the second part of post 201, you don't need to do anything with that (hence why I said "I posted a fix in the first part of post #201")

Correct, it's only new thread creation via the standard vb function that is affected.

Great! Thanks, Paul. Can you think of any other hacks off the top of your head that make threads or would be affected by this? If anyone would know, it would be you, sir.

this is a great product...

i know its been mentioned before.. it would be nice to allow admins to report posts as well. im not sure how tough that is to implement etc.

[Paul M]

There is no restriction on Admins reporting posts.


(I would guess you have the AEO hack installed, read the previous page).

Installed-

Many thanks, brilliant

Good hack, but did anyone ever find out how to make it send out a pm as well? Past report hacks did, but they are now incompatible.

Brilliant! Thanks a bunch, this was just what I needed!

Paul M, can you please help me with this?!

I tried to install on my 3.5.1 board, and the product imported fine. I changed the forum id to the one I wanted, but when a user reports a post, the new thread isn't created.

I've tried everything I can think of.

• Disabling all products apart from this one - Didn't work
• Changing permissions of the forum - Didn't work
• Checked vB options - Couldn't see anythign wrong
• Made a completely new style from scratch, all templates default etc. - Didn't work

I exported my current style and added it to my test board (3.5.4) and it worked on there. I'm just a little confused as to why it isn't working on my main board, and I really want it to because it's such a useful hack!

I clicked install because technically I did!
