afterfl0w's Advanced Banlist! - Version 2.51
updated 13/08/06

Hey all, it's time for another release. This one has been completely re-written and made a lot easier to install! Also, it's vB3.6 and 3.5 compatible!

Onto the buzz:

Features

• Simple, yet advanced display of banned users
• Easy-to-set up! 15 minutes or less install time!
• Import ALL your old bans into this permanent record of banned users!
• Automatic post edit of offending post, to show warning that the user was banned!
• Ban types, length, liftdate, bandate all shown on the list
• Complete support from me, including custom modifications to the banlist
• ADDED IN VERSION 2.51 - admin_banlist.php section for AdminCP! From there, you can clear the banlist, import bans, and selectively remove bans from the list!
• ADDED IN VERSION 2.51 - Template edit for postbit that adds easy [Ban User] link!
• FIXED IN VERSION 2.51 - Fixed Issues with Importing!
• FIXED IN VERSION 2.51 - [Ban User] link no longer sends the linked page to main
• FIXED IN VERSION 2.51 - Fixed compatibility errors with the product and showbans.php for older/newer versions of PHP

Quick install, added what everyone wanted, and made it easy to install! What more could you want!

Installation

Upload the product-aft_banlist.xml to your vB products, and then open the included README_FIRST!!.html file, and cycle through the instructions.

Afterwards, upload the showbans.php to your vB root and you're ready to go!

Importing Old Bans

This was HIGHLY requested in the last version, and I'm a fool for not including it.

Upload the import_bans.php file to your admincp folder, and then navigate to, for example, www.site.com/forums/admincp/import_bans.php.

Follow the instructions, which are as easy as pushing a button , and delete the file afterwards!

Upgrading

If you are upgrading, remove the old banlist table and replace all files!

Troubleshooting/Problems

Any problems or issues with this modification can be either posted in this thread, sent to me in a PM or e-mailed to me at flamethrower_stickattack@hotmail.com

You can also add me to MSN and I'll be able to offer support most of the time.

Install and MOTM Votes

I'm not going to force you to hit the install button, or push it on you, but it'd be greatly appreciated if you do! Also, if you REALLY like this hack, please vote it for MOTM(MOD OF THE MONTH)

Is there a timeframe available? Are you planning a rewrite or just an update for the new code?

*waits in anticipation*

Bingo, I was just about to field a problem I was having and now upon hitting page 5 this damn thing isn't supported anymore.

In case anyone else can help, upon trying to import my old bans, it doesn't correctly import the usergroup or userid. Rather it sets the userid to 32767 for every user and I'm unsure what the usergroup it's pulling is, I just know it's not one of my banned groups.

EDIT: Actually, it's putting the userid as 32767 on newly banned users too.

EDIT2: Yeah, uninstalling this until there's news of a new supported release.

ooh nice mod

[meissenation]

I've tried removing people from the banlist and it says removed but it doesn't actually do it. I had to go into phpmyadmin to remove them.

That would be welcome, but please be so kind to fix the security token error in your Invitation System first.
