Reported post creates new thread. · **Released**: 06-13-2005

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.

If you PM me admin access to your forum I can have a look, it won't be for a few hours though.

Okay, your problem was a plugin called "Require Post Icon for New Threads".

That was preventing new threads from being created as they didn't have an Icon.

I edited your plugin to add the bit in bold, which allows reported post threads to be created with no icon, and tested a report ok.

Code:

if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['iconid'] == 0 AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'report')

I have left it like this for now.

Ah I guess that makes sense then! It still didn't work even though I disabled the product last night though.

Anyway Paul, thanks so much for doing this for me!

That plugin is not associated with any products, it's all on it's own.

Hi Paul,
Hope to install in the next day...

Is it possible, or if not, do you think it feasible to be able to direct specific forum reports to specific forums?

Say for example if a board was comprised of several distinct topical issues that contained several Parent Categories with child forums ... and reported posts are directed to a forum for each category ....

It's not possible with this version, as that would require extra code.

Yet another excellent mod, Paul. Thanks.

This is a great mod. I set up the forum where the posts go with the emails of all my mods, so they get an email when a new report thread is created.

I was reporting posts with my test account and my post count was going up everytime i reported a post but would not show anything under my threads and posts.

Is there anyway to stop this from counting toward the reporter's post count?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
