Miscellaneous Hacks - List Reported Posts

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is something I have been using for the last few years on Cable Forum, it displays a list of reported posts for both staff and members to see.

The list shows ;

Reported Date/Time
Reporter (Staff Only)
Thread Title
Post Number
Actioned Date/Time
Moderator Who Actioned.

For this system to work you must have vbulletin set-up to create a new thread for each report.

On the reported posts page members can click on the Actioned Moderator name to see any comment left by the moderator.

A report is considered as actioned by the first staff member to reply in the report thread. The comments are read from that first post (by default it reads anything inside quote tags).

Staff can click on the reporter to be taken directly to the report thread.

Staff Usergroups are defined in the mods settings - also the number of days to show reports for is defined in the settings.

Note: For this to function, certain phrases must be edited as per the instructions, if you fail to do this, it will not display correctly.

If enabled, this will also attempt to add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links. There is also an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.


History:

v3.8.001 : First Release for vB 3.8.
v3.8.002 - Added auto links with choice of Quick Links or Community Links.

i edited certain phrases and imported the product but i didnt see any link or change on report system. How can i use this now

p.s: Member groups are correct.

Im amazed no one else has asked that I forgot this needs a manual link creating atm.

To view the page you need to create a link to misc.php?do=reported

I'll update it in the next few days to auto create a link in Quick Links or the Community Links.

reportpost_newthread
reportprivatemessage_newthread

[Terrie]

This is a great mod thank you!

One thing tho... The links to the post and reporter
come up like this:
http://www.yoursitename.com/board/sh...344#post203344

My forums are in a directory called "forums" not "board"
is there a way to change this?

[Paul M]

Hmmm, I didnt realise /board/ was hard coded in there - thats because this was written purely for my forums originally, I've taken that out for 3.8.003

[Terrie]

Absolutely wonderful.... Thank you

[MentaL]

you sir are a gentleman

[Stifler]

this def needs to have a display for which forum the reported post is in and then it would be perfect for larger sites with lots of mods for different sections..

Point noted, but its not high on my priority list.
