Just installed on 4.2.2 and it works perfectly. This is one of those perfect mods for my board because I have a sports discussion section on my board and some people get a bit over heated at times. This will allow me to lock them out of the particular thread for a couple of days and give them time to cool off. The only extra option I'd like to see would be a way to set the length of the ban when you hand it out. It would save a bit of time having to check every day to see if you have a ban to lift or not.

But even without that option, it's still an excellent hack and very much appreciated!!!

How to make this work with tapatalk?

Request tapatalk to support the functionality. It is not a issue with the mod.

Can anyone figure this out?

I have this problem too on 4.2.2

However, I tried banning a user from a thread and received a confirmation message. I didn't actually test if the user could post in the thread though after being banned.

Looks like the mod will need to be updated regardless.

After further testing, I have the same problem as the quoted user. I have no way to see who is banned from any thread. The only way to keep track of them is with a note in my admin panel or to have a thread going where I list thread banned members. I can confirm, however, that the member is indeed banned from posting in the thread.

It's still a useful hack but will take a bit of care to keep track of the banned members. If anyone gets around to doing some work on this mod, I wonder if it would be possible to list at either the top or bottom of the thread the members who are banned from posting in the thread. That would make it perfect!

For those not being able to see the extra 3 options from Administrative menu did you read the README.txt file and add:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
    <li><label><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btu" value="btu_clear" /> {vb:rawphrase btu_clear}</label></li>
    <li><label><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btua" value="btu_clear_all" /> {vb:rawphrase btu_clear_all}</label>/li>
    <li><label><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btuv" value="btu_view_all" /> {vb:rawphrase btu_view_all}</label>/li>
</vb:if> 


in SHOWTHREAD below:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['openclose']">
<li><label><input type="radio" name="do" value="openclosethread" checked="checked" tabindex="1" />
<vb:if condition="$show['closethread']">{vb:rawphrase close_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase open_thread}</vb:if></label></li>
</vb:if> 


I'm using 4.2.2PL1 and everything is working as it should. Hope this helps!!

This seems like a contradictory statement. Is it simple or tricky? I notice the developer has not been online since February 2013, so we may never know. I like a lot of other people would like to let moderators access this function. Anyone know of the work-around the author mentioned?

To easily eliminate the error, use the XML file provided in post #45 of this thread.

This is how I fixed the mis-aligned icon and text in the postbit popup menu.

REPLACE the 'btu_link' template with:

<vb:if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
<li class="left">
			<a href="postings.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=btu_ban&amp;t={vb:raw tredotid}&amp;u={vb:raw juserid}" rel="nofollow" class="siteicon_ignore">Thread Ban/Unban</a>
</li>
</vb:if>

ADD the following code to the popupmenu.css template:

.memberaction_body.popupbody li .siteicon_ignore { 
	background:url({vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/ignore.png) {vb:stylevar left} 2px no-repeat; 
}
