Miscellaneous Hacks - Banned Users List

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.



What is this!?
This modification will allow you show a page containing all of your banned users. I suppose you could think of this as a public "Wall of Shame", per say.


Check the screenshots to see exactly what is displayed.


Current Version
1.0.2



Features flagged for future version(s):

• Looking for suggestions

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.8 versions. I've not tested this on anything earlier than 3.8.



Sounds cool. How do I install?

1. Upload everything inside the "upload" directory of the zip file to your forums.
   
   • banned.php => To your FORUM ROOT directory
   • functions_bannedusers_list.php => To your FORUM_ROOT/includes directory
2. Login to your Admin Control Panel and go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
   
   • Click on "Add/Import product"
   • Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file), and click "Import"
   • If upgrading from an older version, then set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".
3. In your admin control panel go to vBulletin Options => Banned Users List
   
   • Edit the Usergroups that you do not want to show the banned members list to.
4. Optional: Only if the auto template injection does not work, as the template hooks were not found.
   
   • In the "navbar" template, find:
     

     • $template_hook[navbar_quick_links_menu_pos3]

   • Below it, add:
     

     • <if condition="$vboptions['bannedusers_enabled'] AND $vboptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, $vbptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'])"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></tr></if>

Upgrade

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. Go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
3. Click on "Add/Import product"
4. Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file)
5. Set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes", and click "Import"

Specifically from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 and later:

• If you are using the auto template edit in 1.0.1, find and remove the following from your navbar template:
  
  

  <if condition="$vboptions[bannedusers_enabled]"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></if>

• If you do not want auto template edits, replace the above code in the navbar template with:
  
  

  <if condition="$vboptions['bannedusers_enabled'] AND $vboptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, $vbptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'])"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></tr></if>

I do not know what's happening, but what you tests after all members and usergrupe can see this"Banned Users List" has provided a solution

Hey,

I was wondering whether the ''Banned by'' column is removable?

Thanks.

Installed this but no matter what I do it dose not show the list to only administrators. I want it to show to admins only. I tried putting the usergroup ids in the box, I tried it without any IDs in the box and so on. It still shows to everyone except unregistered or not logged in guests.

Hmm, been a while

I'll check out the code and may backport some changes I've made to the vB4 version.

I love this, the only think that I do not like too much is the fact that the "Banned Users" link shows up for everybody in the Quick Links.

How would I make it so it only shows up for those that have permissions to see it?
