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.

Does anyone know of a hack to have the Bad Post Report sent to the ModCP and not emailed or creating a thread like in this instance. I know it's possible as we had it on the forum I used to moderate on, however the Admin is not forthcoming.

Thank you.

P.S. I have spent all day searching this forum and vb.com in case anyone says anything...

Edit: Forget this post - I found the hack I was looking for here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=105165

Thanks.

Those people who have a problem with Admins not being able to report a post - I think I may have an answer - I have recently installed the Advanced Editing Options hack on my test forum - and found that this breaks the ability for administrators to report posts (in fact, it breaks a few things, like GARS as well).

Do those having this problem also have AEO installed ?

That's standard vb functionality, nothing to do with this hack.

ive been using this plugin for ages, like many other Paul M's hacks & stuff. But I want to know something (if it was already answered im sorry, but I couldnt find it within the thread). Is there a way so when someone reports a Post, it cant be reported again?

Sometimes We get like 14reports from 1 wrong post and its kinda anoying.

Thank you.

Not in this version (2.01).

This is, in fact, a very old version of the hack - I'm running Version 3.23 on our forums and preventing repeat reports is one of it's features. I'll get round to a new public release one day.

i'm trying to exclude one forum from the normal reportforum and redirect into another:

if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == 16)
{
$report_foruminfo = 142;
}

But i'm getting this error: "Cannot use a scalar value as an array..."

[Paul M]

That won't work.

Try changing this ;

PHP Code:

$report_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($vbulletin->options['reportforum']); 


to this;

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == 16)
{
      $report_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo(142);
}
else
{
      $report_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($vbulletin->options['reportforum']);
}
