vB Report Manager 2.0 (Admin CP) - Report to Email, PM, Staff Forum as a new Thread!

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!

Above the LAST:

// Erwin's Report Hack

Add another:

See if that fixes it.

I'm an idiot.

Add 2 }

So above the LAST:

// Erwin's Report Hack

Add 2 closing tags:

}
}

In total there should be 3 closing tags above the comment.

See if that works.

Step (e) was the problem - I told you to find the wrong code, and do the wrong thing to it.

I've fixed the install.html file.

NOTE: If you installed the hack and get an error - what I would do is to start with a FRESH report.php file, and redo the code changes AGAIN.

This is because in step (e) I told you to find the wrong code - I have removed the vbmail function which should not be removed.

So if you downloaded the install.html file BEFORE this post, I suggest doing it again, and then reinstalling with a fresh REPORT.PHP file. No need to run the installer again though or do the phrase changes.

[Erwin]

I repeat, even if adding the 3 closing tags fixes your problem, your report.php may be missing 1 line that ends the vbmail function. So I suggest re-downloading the updated install.html and redoing just the code changes to a fresh report.php just to be safe.

I see the problem - it happens when you switch OFF threads but turn ON PMs.

To fix this,

1.In report.php find:

PHP Code:

eval(fetch_email_phrases('reportbadpost'));
$message = convert_url_to_bbcode($message); 


CUT it out and MOVE it to ABOVE this:

PHP Code:

if ($vboptions['vbreportthread'] == '1') { 


2. Then find:

PHP Code:

$today = vbdate('m-d-Y', TIMENOW, false, false); 


Also, CUT it out and MOVE it to ABOVE this:

PHP Code:

if ($vboptions['vbreportthread'] == '1') { 


That will fix it. You will also get the DATE in the title of your PMs even if you switch Threads off.

I've updated the ZIP file.

As far as I can tell, the current ZIP file has all the bug fixes. Sorry about the bugs - I added the new features quickly and didn't have time to test them out out extensively.

Things should work properly now.

What does it mean, install it over a clean report.php?

I installed the one before you updated it, and am somehwhat of an amature at the moment.

Reinstall the hack into an unhacked report.php.
