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!

Either learn to code to make improvements for yourself, or sit back and be patient for Alan @ CIT to either come back to support it, or pass on permission to someone else who will.

Stop: What Tralala said

All: I realize that a lot of people have been waiting for an update to this hack, and many of my other hacks, but unfortunately real-life issues have wiped out all of my free time recently, and will continue to do so for the next few months.

Although it's easy to say "Why can't you just make a quick update? Why can't you just reply to my post? why etc..etc..etc", supporting and developing 10 hacks takes an extreme amount of time - sometimes I'd be coding for 4 hours in an evening, then replying to support questions, feature requests and the 20 or so PM's I'd got that day for another 2 hours. That's just time I don't have anymore.

For what it's worth, a couple of people have PM'd me in the past asking to release this hack with the added features, and I've said yes to them all, but to date, none of them have released anything (that I've seen), so I'm not deliberately stopping people from improving this hack.

Thanks,
Alan.

Hi all,

The next version of this hack is now finished. It supports sending PMs for:

Thread Tools Menu
Open
Close
Delete
Undelete
Stick
Unstick
Move

Inline Mod Menu
Attachments: Approve
Attachments: Unapprove
Threads: Delete
Threads: Undelete
Threads: Open
Threads: Close
Threads: Approve
Threads: Unapprove
Threads: Stick
Threads: Unstick
Threads: Move
Posts: Move
Posts: Delete
Posts: Undelete
Posts: Approve
Posts: Unapprove

It also includes a few new features:

* Exclude forums - will not send a PM if the thread is in a forum in this list
* Checks permissions - it now checks to make sure the user can view the source/destination forum on thread moves, if they can't, it won't tell them where the thread is being moved to, just that it has been moved.
* Send From - Lets you choose who PMs are sent from, or use the default (the mod who made the change)
* You can enable/disable sending of PMs by action (move, delete, stick, etc) and type (thread/post/attachment) in the AdminCP -> Options

Now for the important part... Instead of releasing this as a public beta to find any bugs, I will be releasing it as a closed beta to a small number of people. If you are interested in testing this new version, please drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the .zip

Note: I'll only be sending the .zip to 3 or 4 people, so if I don't reply to your PM, it's because enough people have already applied

Thanks,
Alan.

Can this also be turned off for when undeleting a thread, for instance?

[Alan @ CIT]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean can you stop a PM being sent when un-deleting a thread? If so, yes - there are options in the AdminCP to turn on/off sending of PMs for each action (move, delete, etc) and type (thread, post, etc).

Thanks,
Alan.

Exactly what I was looking for, sir. Looking forward to the update.

Good news!

For all those who have been waiting for the next version, it's finally ready :banana:

It's been re-named to Moderation Auto-PM and can be found in the extensions forum as it now adds 3 files

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

Please make sure all posts for Moderation Auto-PM go in that thread, not in this one, as they are seperate hacks

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to fully uninstall this hack before installing Moderation Auto-PM

Thanks,
Alan.
