The mod is not unstable. Noone else seem to have problems, but you.
You're either not following the installation manual, or there is a conflict with some of your modifications. :erm:

Ip icon shows, mods can move threads, no side effects...

Does this have a spot in the AdminCP > vbulletin options? I thought it may be editable for usergroups.

I've enhanced it in order to allow mods and supermods to ban user from thread.

Just re-upload the xml file in the admincp (allow overwrite -> yes).

You can choose to give or not the ability to mods and supermods to ban from a thread in the templates modifications (see the new README file in this post's attachments) : just modify the usergroups you want in this line :

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))"> 


(at the start of every template modifications).

Thanaks thats exactly what i needed.

Not yet. Only admins (and eventualy moderators) have permission to ban users from threads.

Have you noticed any bugs with the modification in this post? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....49&postcount=9

I installed that instead of teh original in order to have mods be able to use this, and now it is banning users from random threads all over the place. The original mod was working fine and not doing this. Any ideas?

Great mod...very much looking forward to:
- Allow Mods/Supermods to use thread bans [optional];
- Time ban [hours, days, weeks...];

[wpeloquin]

what is the difference between v3.6 and v3.7? i have the old one installed, and it still works fine after upgrading vB to 3.7.

doesn't work with 3.7.2! Any ideas or updates? Tried to install but got DB error!

[centralss]

ok I have an update in case anyone else has a problem with this. I hate when people say ok it works now and doesn't explain to others how they fixed it so they help everyone!!

I had previously deleted an earlier version of this mod. After looking at the database error I was getting while importing the product, it showed there was a duplicate entry in the "datastore" field. So I went into myphp and found under datastore, the BTU entry, removed it and closed out myphp.

I then retried the import of the product and it worked. Now my mods on my site will be happy, lol.

[centralss]

ok another update. It is not working for me. Yes I followed all the templates add ons in the instructions.

When I choose ban user from there, it says unbanned user from thread.

So I try it again and it continues to say the same thing over and over!!

Any ideas?
