PM on Thread Move v1.0

A New Version of This Hack has been Released with Support for most Moderation Functions!

Get it from: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115677

Please UNINSTALL this mod before installing the new one



Description
This is a simple little plugin which will send a PM to the thread owner when one of their threads is moved to a different forum, and a re-direct is NOT used.

Quite often the problem arrises of re-directs cluttering up a forum, but if you move a thread without a redirect, then users cannot find it.

This plugin should solve that problem.

Installation
Just upload the attached product XML file. It will add 2 new hooks, and 2 new phrases.

Notes
This currently only works if you move the thread using either the ajax inline moderation, or the Thread Tools menu. If you move the thread from within the ModCP or the AdminCP, then it will not send a PM.

The PM subject and text are stored in the GLOBAL phrases "q_pm_on_move_message_subject" and "q_pm_on_move_message_text" respectivly

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

Hi Alan, any updates to this hack on the way?

Also, I've had to make changes to how I use this, and I forgot one thing. In the plugin, I've modified the fromuserid and fromusername settings to be from a different user now, but I can't figure out how to change the text of the message to show that it is signed by someone else (the "Thanks, {6}" part). Do I change it there, or is this hack managed somewhere in the admincp I forgot about?

I have just checked on a test account on a normal user and its now saying:

your thread has now been moved to the admin section:surprised:

So I'm going to have to disable it before everyone finds out all the hidden parts of the board

Hope there is an update

Doh ! I was reading thru this and as I was reading I installed the hack to test it to see if it was updated !

*sigh* good hack Alan but the new version would be excellent dude !

It's been 5 months and I'm still waiting.
Would it be that hard to say that there won't be any next version ?

Any one can work on this very important hack and release a new version ?

[cmiller1014]

Umm it works fine as is. Why would anyone need another version?

[lkn]

click install :banana:

OmaniMan: The other moderation options (close, sticky, delete, etc) will be included in the next release. I'm working on it now, and hope to have it finished in a day or 2.

Cybernetec: Good idea, I'll try and work it into the next release.
