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!

Update Version 1.2

Thanks to shad-gt - no need to add moderators to every forum - if there is no moderator, the PM will go to an administrator.

The new step is step (d) in the install file, and the code is all in black.

Otherwise, just follow shad-gt's instructions in the post above this one.

sorry to be so picky but you've missed the "add newpost_usernamecode to $globaltemplates" step.

Sorry? If a template is missing that would be a vB3 bug. My hack requires no additional templates.

Congrats on another fine Hack Erwin!

I have a couple questions/modification request to anyone.

1. Is there a way to have the contents of the reported post that is being reported to be included in the staff forum thread that is created?

2. Is it possible to have the username that is being reported to be included in the title of the thread created in the staff forum?

Thanks

Nice hack! *installs*

I am the only person assigned to our comments forum, so I sent a test "report post to mod" from there, yet all admins and mods on the team received the PM, not just me.

Any thoughts on that?

This, I'm sure, should be in the Gold by default, nice.

I've had a look at the database and it seems that the column 'touserarray' is left empty (ie 'N;') in the database (table pmtext) for a reported post pm. The $tostring var has to return something, but its not, am i correct?
