<br/><if condition="$vbulletin->openreports"><a href="$modcpdir/postreports.php">$vbphrase[postreports_postreports]</a>:&nbsp;$vbulletin->openreports</if>

.. is what you want for the link in the navbar template. Zip updated.

I wanted to do this hack without making any modifications to existing files, and I can't really see an easy way at the moment to stop the emails being sent without editing reports.php

My mistake, its not shown for members, its only to mods and admins, in addition, its only shown to forum moderator who have a pinding post report which is excellent..

The solution is working fine now but missing ?do=list

There is somthing else also I edited in my post after your reply..

2) When clicking any thread link under forum/postreports.php it does not go to the correct link, it erases for example forum and links directly to showpost.php

Yeah some of the mods on my site complained about that that's why it was included

Incidentally notice that this is more or less just a direct port of the old code but I am planning a more advanced version (probably not for a few weeks since I've got a major amount of rewriting to do atm) which will resolve some race conditions we've been having i.e. multiple mods attempting to deal with one report concurrently. This will probably take the form of a 'take over' button appearing on outstanding reports which (by process only, not by code because that would be nigh on impossible) will force mods into 'ownership' of reports before they deal with them, so you don't get two mods tripping over each other. Also mods not being able to touch reports from outside their forums which is quite an easy addition.

The solution is working fine now but missing ?do=list

<br/><if condition="$vbulletin->openreports"><a href="$modcpdir/postreports.php?do=list">$vbphrase[postreports_postreports]</a>:&nbsp;$vbulletin->openreports</if>

Ok, some leading slashes where they shouldn't have been. Try the updated product.

The code for admin / mods to see latest reported posts doesn't appear for me, just creates a gap :-

Move the <br/> into the conditional, e.g.:

<if condition="$vbulletin->openreports"><br/><a href="postreports.php">$vbphrase[postreports_postreports]</a>:&nbsp;$vbulletin->openreports</if>

The link only shows up if there are outstanding reports.

Be sure to send an update when it's out of BETA, will install then

Had an error on linking back from reported post .. postreportbits template assumes forum is in root directory .. added "$vboptions[bburl]/" after any <a href and problem solved.

Might be useful for anyone experiencing the same problem.

Okay, I installed it. Working nicely so far aswell. If a user has no post reports, how could I get it so it says "You have not submitted any post reports"
