afterfl0w's Advanced Banlist! - Version 2.51
updated 13/08/06

Hey all, it's time for another release. This one has been completely re-written and made a lot easier to install! Also, it's vB3.6 and 3.5 compatible!

Onto the buzz:

Features

• Simple, yet advanced display of banned users
• Easy-to-set up! 15 minutes or less install time!
• Import ALL your old bans into this permanent record of banned users!
• Automatic post edit of offending post, to show warning that the user was banned!
• Ban types, length, liftdate, bandate all shown on the list
• Complete support from me, including custom modifications to the banlist
• ADDED IN VERSION 2.51 - admin_banlist.php section for AdminCP! From there, you can clear the banlist, import bans, and selectively remove bans from the list!
• ADDED IN VERSION 2.51 - Template edit for postbit that adds easy [Ban User] link!
• FIXED IN VERSION 2.51 - Fixed Issues with Importing!
• FIXED IN VERSION 2.51 - [Ban User] link no longer sends the linked page to main
• FIXED IN VERSION 2.51 - Fixed compatibility errors with the product and showbans.php for older/newer versions of PHP

Quick install, added what everyone wanted, and made it easy to install! What more could you want!

Installation

Upload the product-aft_banlist.xml to your vB products, and then open the included README_FIRST!!.html file, and cycle through the instructions.

Afterwards, upload the showbans.php to your vB root and you're ready to go!

Importing Old Bans

This was HIGHLY requested in the last version, and I'm a fool for not including it.

Upload the import_bans.php file to your admincp folder, and then navigate to, for example, www.site.com/forums/admincp/import_bans.php.

Follow the instructions, which are as easy as pushing a button , and delete the file afterwards!

Upgrading

If you are upgrading, remove the old banlist table and replace all files!

Troubleshooting/Problems

Any problems or issues with this modification can be either posted in this thread, sent to me in a PM or e-mailed to me at flamethrower_stickattack@hotmail.com

You can also add me to MSN and I'll be able to offer support most of the time.

Install and MOTM Votes

I'm not going to force you to hit the install button, or push it on you, but it'd be greatly appreciated if you do! Also, if you REALLY like this hack, please vote it for MOTM(MOD OF THE MONTH)

Hi, is there any way to allow another usergroup besides Admin to see the banlist page?

I created a Core Admin Group on my forums, and they cannot see the page.

Regards
Firestar

No matter, I found the way to do it. For those of you who wants to do the same, open the admincp/admin_banlist.php and find the following line of code on line 101:

if(!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)){

Replace this with:

if(!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6) and !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 29)){

And just change the 26 into the usergroup that you want to give permission to. Obviously, you can add as many groups as possible, by just adding the code into that line, as I've done above.

Any chance this could be made to work on other restricted user group statuses?

Now that we have the infraction system, I REALLY need a way to see my other restricted user groups as well.

[afterfl0w]

What do you mean?

[cavyspirit]

For example, we have two user groups that place posts on moderation. One allows for PMs, the other doesn't. We need to keep track of those just as much or more so than banned members.

It would be very, very nice if this reporting tied in with the new infraction system. Currently, nothing reports or lists infracted members and their user group status.

We're still forced to keep track manually in our mod forum of a summary of who is in the different groups.

Excuse me - but what does this Hack do ? I think it is absolutely useless with the new Warning System in 3.6. There is allready a Timebased Banmodus at the Warning Features.

Did the import bans script get pulled out of the zip? Cause its not in mine

[b6gm6n]

Hi dudes... looks and works well... but i wondered... i don't like seeing [ Ban User ] next to mods or admins names...is there a way i can disable that for certain user groups?...please advise, cheers

This is a permanent list of all banned users. No idea what you're comparing it to.

It is now in the admin_banlist.php file. Upload it and surf to it and click on Import Bans
