Quick Ban/UnBan

Since the Modcp link is gone from the bottom of the
page my moderators needed a quick way to ban a user without going
to the modcp. So this hack adds aoption to Ban a user directly from
the offending post, via the drop down menu link by the users name.
This is Moderator Forum Specific, which means moderators can only ban
users in their own forum, and not in another moderators forum. Also a
moderator can not ban any of the forum Administrators.


This Hack is Based on Erwins Warning System/Automatic Ban Hack and Magnus's Add On.

if you do not want to have the UnBan Link than just remove this line

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><span onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand';" onClick="window.open('modcp/banning.php?do=liftban&userid=$post[userid]','liftban','width=500,height=375,scrollbars=yes')"><b>Lift Ban on $post[username]</b></span></td></tr>

also if you do not want it to be forum specific for your moderators replace this

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])">

with this

<if condition="($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7)">

I agree with Brinnie, I'd like a hack to ban a member from just one forum, or so that moderators' bans don't affect the users access to other forums.

Like I have one forum that is pretty much anything goes, and then others taht have stricter guidelines, I'd like it so that mods of the more strict forums can't ban the problematic users from the other forums.

anyways.. nice hack on the quick ban.

You should be able to just edit access masks for problem users, and deny them access to particular forums.

Um... Hmm. Wouldn't you need to set up like 15 permissions masks?

And how would you determine which group they go in when a mod banns them?
