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!

This hack is for 3.0.x.. Some things may have changes.. Why not use the plugin/extension system..

Here is a 3.5 version of the hack.. Similar anyway

Does this NOT work with the newest VB? I wish it did..the other report hack does not send out a PM to the mods

Question... I have 3.0.9 I installed this mod.. Well.. oddly, I think I am getting parse errors from the adminfunctions_template.php which will come up as:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/forumsq/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php on line 375

The only other mod I installed the same time was a cron job for purging users who dont activate after 10 days.

So was wondering.. does this not work for 3.0.9 or something? I mean.. luckily I can still work in the adminCP. However Forum manager, add new forum give me this error and I dont know if its from this mod somehow or what. =/

Anyone have some advice? =)

Edit: Yeaaaa Only took me 5 hours to figure it out.. you see something was odd about the php file.. it looked like if a 2 year old was learning php.. double quotes all over the place, no correct string or line breaks etc..

Which was odd, since I couldnt see how EITHER mod could cause it.
Tracked it down...

That.. if you use the built in file editor.. it will save the php code in such a way that it ruins the design of the php page in question! OUCH! However.. using the upload function to overwrite it using the mod works fine and no issues anymore.. but so much for my idea to use edit to be quicker to work with.. sigh..

Anyways installed. ^^

Ok I hate to double post.. but Im lost.. its late and Im tired. 3.0.9 I understand Ill have to make some phase changes, correct? Which will be applied to the reportbad phrase?

Do I have to do extras in the report.php?

Oddly.. eveyrone can report a post.. it will come up with SQL database issues like
Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO pmtextnt(fromuserid, fromusername, title, message, touserarray, iconid, dateline, showsignature)nVALUESnt(30013, 'Mysticales', '07-13-2006 REPORT: Admin/Mod General Chat - Hardrive', 'Mysticales ( mailto:mysticales@darkmystics.com ) has reported this post:

So Im just curous.. what files really need to be edited to work now? Its cute.. it doesnt email us, or PM us.. but it does make a forum thread just nothing else.. starting to feel like I am stupid on this right now. =/

Just would love to get it where it can do all 3, if anyone has a idea.. please let me know. =)

[Mysticales]

Sigh guess no one here uses this really anymore. =(

Just cant figure out why the reporting gives SQL errors, however does make a new thread just fine, but no email or PM..

Thinking of just removing it since I cant get it working right. Whats this debug mode method to remove it from the admin cp anyways? Hows that work? Never did it before.

Edit: Since these forums dont have auto merge..

Ok I got it to work.. finally.. GJ (Installs)

Issue.. Im getting 2 PM/Emails per reported post, however if I remove my name as listed moderator for the forum.. I only get 1..

So maybe I am missing something or not understanding something here.

But also would be nice to know how to uninstall, just in case. But so far.. my mods love it.. so its staying. =)

Also.. why are mods that "arent" assigned to "x" forum getting PMs/Email reports of forums they arent moderators of? But the ones they ARE mods of, they get 2.

Could this be made to work with 3.6? How could I do that, and if there are no plans to update this mod, where can I read a little more about how to get this to work with 3.6 on my own?

[ConqSoft]

3.6 has most, if not all, of these features built in.

Really, I didn't see anything to this effect. What part of vb options is the PM option in?
