Ban reason field?

[asianboi]

oh no.. i've done this already, but that is not what I want...

That's how I was going to do it, but I figured the person was happy with the profile field method so I did not post mine. My idea is to have it in the admin panel and have a text field that you can input the reason for the ban and also have a select (radio) option that allows you to have the reason show up on the forum as a error message to the ban user, with full details of the ban! (Yes or No) option!

No extra query, done doing a stright join instead of a select on a single table!

It's just as easy using the method I posted earlier. Instead of one field, you create two - one is a text entry field, and one is a radio-button select. Both are private, non-user-editable fields. Then change the condition in the header from if there's anything in the reason field, to if the desired radio button is checked.

All done. Takes an extra minute or so to create that second field....



It would be coded like this:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 8">
   <div align="left" style="color: red; background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; padding:2px">
	<b>Your membership has been terminated.<br /><br />

        <if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldY'] == 'show'">
           Reason: $bbuserinfo[fieldX]
        </if>
        </b>
   </div>
</if>

Assuming "fieldY" is your radio-button field, and "show" is one of the options.

Again, this method is NOT A HACK. It's the addition of 2 custom user-profile fields, and a change to the header template.
