vB Report Manager 2.1 (Admin CP) - Report to Email, PM, Staff Forum as a new Thread!

By Dr Erwin Loh

What does this hack do?

When a member reports a post, the report goes to:

1) Email (as per normal)
2) PM
3) A new thread in your private Staff Forums
4) In the report, there will be a link to the new thread in your private Staff Forums

Or ANY of the above combination!

The thread title now has the Date/ Time of Report, Originating Forum and Reported Poster!

There is now Admin CP support under vBulletin Options - you can choose to switch on or off any of the notification methods, and set the FORUM ID for the Staff Forum you want the posts to appear in.

All you need to do is run install_vbreport.php and modify 1 file - report.php.

Update Version 2.0

1. Added Admin CP support - choose to switch on and off each notification method. Also specify your Staff Forum ID in Admin CP.

2. Added more info to the THREAD TITLE - now with NAME OF FORUM, USERNAME OF POSTER, AND DATE/ TIME OF REPORT!

Update Version 2.1

1. Fixed email option bug

2. Fixed URL parsing bug

To upgrade, it's easiest just to reinstall this hack over a CLEAN REPORT.PHP file.

Admin CP installer and install instructions in HTML file in ZIP below.
Screenshots attached.

Enjoy!

Sorry for the two the server was not being found

I've changed the install instructions. It's because I cut and paste wrongly:

In the report.php file,

Change:
}// Erwin's Report Hack

To:

}
// Erwin's Report Hack

Hi I went through it all again and still get the error


Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/username/public_html/community/report.php on line 249


I have included my report.php file, it has no mods I don't think except your
one, can you see what the problem is :ermm:


Many thanks

I see the problem.

This is what happens when you change your original install file... and the instructions have changed.

The last code change, instead of adding the code below, REPLACE the code.

So, step (e) should REPLACE the code, not add below.

Sorry about this - the install file has been edited. It should work now.

I've deleted the report.php file from your post anyway as that is against our rules. But it helped me identify the problem which was my instructions!

[Erwin]

I repeat, if you downloaded the old ZIP for version 2 and get an error, in step (e), you REPLACE the old code with new, you do NOT add below (which just creates a repeat of the code).

The ZIP has been updated.

Post your report.php and I'll take a look. I'll delete it after. It's weird that there's still an error.

[Moparx]

here you go

[Erwin]

I'm missing a closing tag it seems - must have missed it since I coded this off the top of my head.

Above the LAST:

// Erwin's Report Hack

Add another:

}

See if that fixes it.

[Moparx]

still nothing
