Features of this hack (some of which are illustrated by the screenshots):

• Fully phrased to allow easy translation

Installation Instructions:

1. Backup your forum database. You are installing this modification at your own risk - I will not be held responsible for any damages or losses to your computer/web server/site data/vBulletin installation that occur from trying to install/uninstall this hack.
2. Extract the files from the .zip archive
3. Open the upload directory
4. If you have changed the directory names of the Mod CP or the Admin CP from the defaults you will need to apply the same changes here.
5. Upload the contents of the 'upload' directory to the forum directory on your web server
6. When the uploads are complete go into the Admin CP and expand the 'Plugins and Products' menu on the left-hand side.
7. Click the 'Manage Products' link in the menu you just expanded.
8. Click the '[Add/Import Product]' link at the bottom of the page.
9. In the 'OR import the XML file from your server' text box change 'product.xml' to 'product-pprm.xml'
10. Click 'Import'
11. Click OK on the prompt
12. Make sure in the vBulletin Options menu under 'User Infractions & Post Reporting Options' that Post Reporting Email is not set to 'no e-mail'. Due to the core hook location of this hack it will not work if e-mailing is not enabled in the vBulletin options. However, this can be overridden on the PPRM configuration page.
13. and you're all done You may wish to change the configuration of PPRM, this can be done from the Post Reports menu in the Admin CP navigation.
14. Mark the mod as installed, this is so you can receive updates regarding the mod. I won't spam you or send you drunken e-mails lolol.

This hack is still in beta phase and I would really appreciate your feedback with any bugs/errors/design issues you encounter. Things to watch out for are compatibility issues with non-major browsers and the 'acknowledge permissions' setting not working as I've only done a very limited amount of testing on it.

The inspiration for this hack came from Distance's Advanced Post Report System for 3.6 which was an upgrade of a mod by some guy called pig, lol.

No chance we could talk you into it Don Pedro?

[Alfa1]

Would you allow someone else to upgrade it to vb4?

[jawatkin]

I hope there's a way because my staff simply could not survive without this modification and this will hold me back from upgrading to vb4!!

[itiloo]

Hellow Pedro:

I like a version for vb4please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[puddlove]

I love this mod but am wondering if there is any possibility that the SQL error can be fixed:

"0.92 - With 'Acknowledge moderator permissions...' enabled an SQL error may occur when a moderator tries to access open/closed reports."

Disabling that option wouldn't be that helpful to me as all my mods are based in individual forums and it would be confusing if they started receiving reports from elsewhere, but at the moment with the option enabled they can't view reports at ALL Would like to see it fixed if at all possible!

[Auron]

just had a report from one of my forums users that that they were getting notifications regarding reported posts even though they arent part of any of the staff usergroups and never was.. l believe this has only happened since installing the mod

[fluidswork]

nice will try it out.............

[LuisManson]

this one should be ported to vb4!

[kalisekj]

One Major Issue when trying to go to a dif page of the closed reports in admin it just brings up a blank page so its impossible to view any closed reports except for page one. System works great though and has truly enabled my mods to fix bad links and threads.

[Contra Fates]

Has anyone used this modification on 3.8.5? If so, does it still work?
