Major Additions - Banned Members Log

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
It is a update of my v3.7.x hack available here, with the addition of file hooks, hack authors can now use hooks to expand this hack if needed, and a new column for the usergroup the banned user has been put in.

This hack displays a log of all temporary and permanently banned members on it's own page, it is paginated (with page count on the permanent bans section) if there are more results than you selected per page in the AdminCP, temporary bans are only displayed on page 1 (if you have more temporary banned members than one page, you must be doing something wrong), along with a count on how many temporary and permanent banned members there are. Any users displayed on the page(s) will have links to display their profile, if clicked on.

It can also show an altered total member count on your forum's homepage (if enabled) to either show the altered members count (exclude all banned members), show the altered members and unconfirmed (Users Awaiting Email Confirmation) members count, show the altered members, unconfirmed members and banned members count, or you can disabled it altogether (so it shows the unaltered members count). Enabled or disabled, it does not generate any extra queries.

You can optionally add a link on either the navbar proper or quick links.

This hack is controlled by usergroup permissions.

As an added bonus (if enabled), if a usergroup has permissions to view the banned members log, then the banned members count on the forumhome page will be clickable and will load the banned members log if clicked on (if no permission, then it will not be clickable).


This hack was created because I liked the idea of this hack by jredrum, and as it is not supported, not phrased at all, has no pagination, and has no usergroup permissions to speak of, I decided to use the idea of that hack and rewrite it from scratch based on the ModCP file banning.php, I have also integrated my Total Member Count Excluding Banned Members hack into this one and have now retired it.

There is only one file change (to config.php), but no template changes at all and is fully phrased. This generates no extra queries on the forum homepage at all, and generates 9-11 queries (depending on options selected and if logged out/logged in) on the ban_log.php page.

Great mod - would appreciate it if someone would post on here whether it works with 3.6.X earlier versions..sure it should though.

[jambo_1969]

Works great on 3.7

Cheers

I will install if you could add a option to only display temporarily banned members. I see no reason why member need to know why others are banned, but if they are friends with that person and my staff temporarily bans them, they should know about it.

Is it possible to modify this so that temporary bans remain on the list permanently?

Also, would it be possible to show both temporary and permanent together under one table, prehaps with the User Name, Banned By, Banned On, Ban Time Remaining and Ban Reason fields visible?

Yes, it would be possible, but not without extensive alterations to this hack, as it will not do what you want in its current state. It is not something I wish to look into at this time, as I am happy with the hack the way it is.

What to do?

One of your other hacks seems to be conflicting with the Banned Members Log (3) plugin which displays the banned members on the forumhome page.

You need to check any other hacks that are using the parse_templates hook to see if they are the cause of the issue. If you can not track it down, you can always disable the Banned Members Log (3) plugin and live without the banned member count on the forumhome page.
