Moderators Functions - Moderation Auto-PM v3.0.1

hi Folks,

This is a port of this for vBulletin 3.0.3 (long time ago)

I ported it to vBulletin 3.5.4 with the permission of the original author here

i see user requested it for vBulletin 3.7.3 here

so this hack does

• send a pm to the threadstarter upon moderation actions
• The pm content is completely phrased to allow easy translation for people not running an english board
• the pm automatically comes from the moderator who actually performes the moderation(if you leave the setting forthis blank)
• no pm when a user edits / deleted his own threads / posts
• support for the inlinemod system

this hack does not

• send an email instead of a pm
• split thread / posts not supported

Installation:

upload all *.php files to /includes
import the product xml (set allow overwrite to yes if you are updating from a previous version) There are three setting groups look under vbulletin options -> modpm_*

that's it

I think that if you have a forum where you move unwanted threads you can put the ID in there.

For what use?
Does it move it for me? etc. etc .. more info on this would be great

[misuzuu]

No i think that if you have a forum for that, and a mod/admin move it there the PM will say Your thread has been trashed or something like that

[wito]

There's a bug. You can't delete user's post when his PM box is full. (there's a notice that his box is full and post is not deleted).

EDIT: I keep getting the following error when I have certain forums excluded (set via AdminCP modpm -> General Options):

1. this forum cannot contain threads or it is a link please choose another forum.

Any suggestions?

that will happen if you choose a forum that is closed to posting (cancontainthreads setting) i will however check the function to see it's not throwing an error when it shouldn't do it

Thanks.

hmm good idea and shouldn't be to hard either

If an user has disabled pms then you cant close a thread or anything, could you fix that please?

PHP Code:

function check_recycle_bin()
 {
  if (($this->dest == $this->vbulletin->options['be_modpm_recyclebin']) AND ($this->item_type == 'thread') AND ($this->action == 'move'))
  {
   $this->action = 'delete';
  }
 } 


a thread move action to a "recyclebin forum" will appaer to the user like his thread whas deleted the pmed users will not know his thread still exists nor he / she will have have access to your recyclebin forum
