Features of this hack (some of which are illustrated by the screenshots):

• Report management area accessible from the Mod CP and Admin CP
• Full integration with notifications menu
• Commenting/update system
• Ajax loading of the reported content from within the CP
• Quick links related to the report/report discussion
• Can set to only display reports that moderators have permissions to 'do something about'
• Fully phrased to allow easy translation

Installation Instructions:

1. Backup your forum database. You are installing this modification at your own risk - I will not be held responsible for any damages or losses to your computer/web server/site data/vBulletin installation that occur from trying to install/uninstall this hack.
2. Extract the files from the .zip archive
3. Open the upload directory
4. If you have changed the directory names of the Mod CP or the Admin CP from the defaults you will need to apply the same changes here.
5. Upload the contents of the 'upload' directory to the forum directory on your web server
6. When the uploads are complete go into the Admin CP and expand the 'Plugins and Products' menu on the left-hand side.
7. Click the 'Manage Products' link in the menu you just expanded.
8. Click the '[Add/Import Product]' link at the bottom of the page.
9. In the 'OR import the XML file from your server' text box change 'product.xml' to 'product-pprm.xml'
10. Click 'Import'
11. Click OK on the prompt
12. Make sure in the vBulletin Options menu under 'User Infractions & Post Reporting Options' that Post Reporting Email is not set to 'no e-mail'. Due to the core hook location of this hack it will not work if e-mailing is not enabled in the vBulletin options. However, this can be overridden on the PPRM configuration page.
13. and you're all done You may wish to change the configuration of PPRM, this can be done from the Post Reports menu in the Admin CP navigation.
14. Mark the mod as installed, this is so you can receive updates regarding the mod. I won't spam you or send you drunken e-mails lolol.

This hack is still in beta phase and I would really appreciate your feedback with any bugs/errors/design issues you encounter. Things to watch out for are compatibility issues with non-major browsers and the 'acknowledge permissions' setting not working as I've only done a very limited amount of testing on it.

The inspiration for this hack came from Distance's Advanced Post Report System for 3.6 which was an upgrade of a mod by some guy called pig, lol.

Does it still work if we disable the discussion thread and email setting?

[joe1989]

OK i see in installation that it says we need to have one of those set. Disregard my question!

Install this but its not doing anything when a post is reported.

[joe1989]

This is what I noticed...

The email that is sent to the moderators/administrators has some errors. For starters, it doesn't properly display the reporter's name. For example, the email begins like this:

( mailto: ) has reported this post:

Second thing I noticed in the email was the link for the post. This is how it is displayed in the email:

( mailto: ) has reported this post:

http://www.supportingteens.net/forum...ad.php?p=#post

Notice there is no post number.

Additionally, the same problem comes up with the thread link:

http://www.supportingteens.net/forums/showthread.php?t=

Again, lacking a thread ID number.

The reason for the post is also not displayed properly. It says "This is the reason the user gave:" but there is nothing listed, and I know there should be, because I did this as a test and I did put something in as a reason!

Ironically, the discussion thread link is created properly!

A discussion thread has been created at http://www.supportingteens.net/forum...read.php?t=343

Thanks for a great mod!! I love it!!

I don't know if this is the problem for you, but here are two possible solutions for you to try:

1) Any post reports made BEFORE you installed this mod will not show up...sorry
2) Make sure that in Vbulletin options you have enabled the email sending feature AND a discussion thread, as it says in the installation directions! If you do not enable each of these, the mod will not work!!

Hope that helps,
Joe

Awesome mod! I will tag and follow this for now... and install if it's templated.

Half right, lol. The mod will still work even if you do not have discussion threads for reports enabled in the vBulletin options.

Brilliant, I have been waiting for this... I've been using Distance's Post Reporting Hack on 3.8.1 but it doesn't catch the reported visitor messages, PMs or pictures, and I love the AJAX updating in the CP!!
