Reported post creates new thread.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This plugin modifies the reported post system to create a new thread in a pre-selected forum and disables the send of reported post e-mails. This is a port of the version run on our forums, which is based on the original Xenon hack. This is posted with his permission.

Version 2.01 is now released as a product. Download the xml file and then import it into your forum using the product manager.

Everything you need is now imported - there is also no need to edit the plugin anymore - instead you set the id of your reported posts forum in the vBulletin Options > General Settings area.

If you wish to upgrade from version 1 then delete the current plugins and template associated with this hack - then import the product - and set the forum id in the vb options.



History:

v2.01 : First Release.

I loaded this, however the new thread isn't being created. I edited the forum ID to the forum ID of my staff forum. Please note though, that I am using vbulletin 3.5 beta 2, so there may have been some sort of code change

Seems okay on my beta 2

Created the template in the wrong style

Now it works perfectly. Thanks, Paul M.
* MidnightPyro clicks install! =)

can this be done so an email and PM are sent to the moderators as well as the thread being created? we have a similar hack installed for 3.0.x that does this and really like how it does all 3. got the hack from here but dont remember what forum or the name of the hack.

The e-mail can still be sent, just turn off the plugin that disables the e-mail send. I don't see the point of a PM when a thread is created.

normally i would agree...but some of our staff use a verizon email account for registration and for what ever reason...users who use that email account for registration dont receive emails from our forums. we are trying to work with verizon to correct the issue but have made little progress. thus the PM would be useful...especially with the "Show Newest PM If Unread On Forum Home" plugin found here.

Well I can't really help you at the moment - It's not a feature I need and I'm very busy at the moment working on porting a lot of our stuff to 3.5.0. I'll add it to my list of things to look at, but tbh, it's very low priority (probably meaning months before I look at it). Sorry.

I've installed this properly but the threads are not being created in the forum I specified.

Are the plugins listed as active in the manager - do you have plugins turned on in the master vb options ?.
