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.

Scenario ...
I would post in a thread at the forum with instructions to the member to report my post which they would do.

I would then respond to this post but not receive an answer.

What I just figured out is that because I have my subscription setting as Do Not Subscribe, their reported post of my post was also Do Not Subscribe.

Oddly I am not able to change their subscription mode to instant notification, even though this is their default setting.

The only other thing this might be the cause could be the Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins which I use.

The weird thing is that if I change my reply post to instant notification, then their subscription mode of their reported post (of my post in the forums) changes to instant notification.

FYI Do Not Subscribe subscription mode was also noticed in the 3.6 Reported Post feature and was confirmed in this bug report:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...view&bugid=491

.. see reply for possible fix.

Note ...
We have it set up so that the forum reported posts goes to allows for member usergroup to view and reply to their own reported post.
Can Post Threads - Yes
Can View Others' Threads - No
Can Reply to Own Threads - Yes

I would never want subscriptions sent out for reported post threads. The replies to them are completely confidential - members have no permission to view them.

Can't this be achieved by the way you have permissions set up in the forum reported posts are being dierected to?

Quite possibly, and I think that is what they have done now in 3.6. However, that's not not going to get added to this now. Like all my 3.5 mods, no changes will now be made, esp as this is obsolete in 3.6 onwards.

MJM · #**338** 07-18-2006, 10:53 PM

Yep, that change was made in 3.6 RC2
Onward ho! 3.6 is where to go
Cheers

I have such a huge board that I usually don't notice that the mod's forum has a new thread from a reported post until a good several hours, but when I get a pm, I notice that on the next page view (i'm not always in my forum index).

I remember an option to send a pm when a post is reported, but I don't see that anymore. Is there a way to install two versions of this and have one of them send me a pm and the other start the thread, or something to that effect? Is there a hack that sends you a pm when there is a new thread in a certian forum, cause that would do the trick, but i haven't been able to find anything since it seems every thread has the words "Send PM new thread in forum"

P.S. the subscibe to forum thing is useless in my book, so that wouldn't work.

Paul M · #**340** 07-19-2006, 05:10 PM

This has never had an option to send a PM so that must have been another mod you had.

I don't recall ever seeing a PM on new thread mod.

Coldhands · #**341** 07-19-2006, 10:06 PM

I think this hack could be much better if we had the option to also send a message via pm when a post is reported. It would help call attention to a post so it doesn't sit around for 30 minutes before it gets noticed in a mod forum.

Is there some sort of hack school on here. I'd be more than happy to try to make an addition, but I'm not real sure how all of these things work. I know php and I'm pretty familiar with the vB lang, but I haven't ever written a hack.
