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.

Clicks Install, Thanks Paul! Working great!

Have made it into a forum support button with threads going to a Help Desk Forum.
I made settings so that threads reported are only viewable and reply-able by 'reportee' and support usergroup.

For the forum you have set up to receive reported posts ...
AdminCP> Forum Manager > Edit Forum > Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts - Yes/No? > No > Save

Works like a charm. You the man.

It would be cool, after post is submitted, to have something show like ...
"Thank you, report submitted"

Cheers,
Mark

The redirect should tell you that.

Great tool! Very useful!
Do you know how to prevent double (or more) reports of the same post?

Thanks you in advance.

Nice mod Paul. Finally got round to updating to the latest version on my second site

Anyway, is there any chance that you can either make it so multiple reports of the same post go into the same thread, or point me in the right direction.

Cheers.

As I think I have said in the past, this is a very old version. Among other things, the newer version 3 (in use on CF) prevents a post being reported more than once. I will (one day) get round to releasing that here (probably as a 3.6 hack now).

Paul, it is a shame that vB hasn't picked this up as default. Thanks muchly for the hack.

MJM · #**310** 06-11-2006, 03:14 AM

It's now a feature for 3.6
See: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...&postcount=151

Paul M · #**311** 06-11-2006, 03:35 PM

So it is.

Another hack becomes redundant in 3.6 ........

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