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 is a great hack! I would like to have the username of the author of the reported thread be put into the title of the thread that is created in the reported forum.

For example: someone reports a user by the name of joeblow

The new thread that is created in the reported post forum is titled some thing like:
Reported Post: joeblow in XXXX forum

Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks in advance.

Does this work with VB3.0.3?

Any updates on this, Erwin?

Erwin, looking at your code, what are the chances that you do a quick and dirty for us?

Automatically create a new thread in a set forum at registration? The new member could have a text area in the registration form, giving him the option to input his own words, if empty the the generic welcome will be posted.

That's a different hack altogether - not hard to do at all... maybe when I find time.

Thanks for considering. I'll be patiently waiting. That is basically the only thing missing by me. Right now, we are creating the thread manually - the hard way-

Thanks for the mod!

I'm trying to NOT have it send a new PM and Email everytime someone reports and tried skipping step 1b. and 1c. but got errors. Can anyone tell me exactly what to change to do this (so pm's at least are not sent, but preferably both).

Thank you

I would also like to find out how to remove the sending of private messages.
