Admin. 2 Admin. Notes VIA AdminCP Index

Hello Fellow vBulletin.org Members,

I bring greetings from Appleworld. Lol. Sorry, it's been awhile since my last AdminCP related hack. This time I'm turning more towards Administrator to Administrator communication via quick posting software under the vBulletin AdminCP backend. I don't know, why else would I post it here. Lol. Anyways, here's what it is.

Admin. 2 Admin. Notes Hack is a small hack but can help very greatly especially for those forums who have many Administrators who are always on the go and really don't have the time to post a quick thread. I believe there are more than enough of you out there. This hack is almost portraying itself as a "dry-erase" board for quick messages to leave for your close "vBFamily".

I'm currently unable to take screenshots so if any of you would be willing, I'd love ya da death. Lol. Since it is an Administrative feature, I'm ofcourse, unable to show you a working system, basically why I need someone to install and take screenshots. Well, with all that said and done, the only thing you have to do is click install and download. It comes with a detailed MSNotePad version of the Installation and only requires one table on your database.

Enjoy and thank you.

UPDATED! ONCE AGAIN! LOL!

-------------------------------------

Many years later...
An update for 2.3.x is underway.
Emails have been sent on the news.
Lemme d/l the software and I'll get it out as quick as possible.
This time, it'll be titled 'Administrator Notes' :nervous:

I can create a delete button if you'd like and submit the code. It shouldn't harm anyone.

here is a screeni

don't care about the language its german

but nice and cool feature


little code addition :

instead of:

------------------------------------------------

maketableheader('Administrator To Administrator Notes');
echo "<tr class='".getrowbg()."' valign='top'>\n<td><font size=1><p>". makelinkcode("Leave A Note","./anotes.php","0") ."</p></font></td>\n<td><p></p></td>\n</tr>\n";

$bbcodeon=iif($forum[allowbbcode],$ontext,$offtext);
$imgcodeon=iif($forum[allowimages],$ontext,$offtext);
$htmlcodeon=iif($forum[allowhtml],$ontext,$offtext);
$smilieson=iif($forum[allowsmilies],$ontext,$offtext);

$notes = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT notes,userid,timestamp,username FROM adminnotes LIMIT 1");
$note = stripslashes($notes['notes']);
$timestamp = $notes['timestamp'];
$userid = $notes['userid'];
$author = $notes['username'];
$time_posted = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a',$timestamp);
makelabelcode($note);
makelabelcode("Author: <a href='$bburl/member.php?s=&action=userinfo&userid=$userid'>$aut hor</a> | Posted On: $time_posted");
---------------------------------------------------

use:

---------------------------------------------------

doformheader("","");
maketableheader('Administrator To Administrator Notes');
echo "<tr class='".getrowbg()."' valign='top'>\n<td><font size=1><p>". makelinkcode("Leave A Note","./anotes.php","0") ."</p></font></td>\n<td><p></p></td>\n</tr>\n";

$bbcodeon=iif($forum[allowbbcode],$ontext,$offtext);
$imgcodeon=iif($forum[allowimages],$ontext,$offtext);
$htmlcodeon=iif($forum[allowhtml],$ontext,$offtext);
$smilieson=iif($forum[allowsmilies],$ontext,$offtext);

$notes = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT notes,userid,timestamp,username FROM adminnotes LIMIT 1");
$note = stripslashes($notes['notes']);
$timestamp = $notes['timestamp'];
$userid = $notes['userid'];
$author = $notes['username'];
$time_posted = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a',$timestamp);
makelabelcode($note);
makelabelcode("Author: <a href='$bburl/member.php?s=&action=userinfo&userid=$userid'>$aut hor</a> | Posted On: $time_posted");
echo "</table></td></tr></table></form>\n";

---------------------------------------------

so it looks much nicer

That would be cool. I really like this hack.

Hey. Crater, I installed it very very nice idea, great hack... however I am having 1 issue with this, that is that i get the following error after posting my note

PHP Code:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/evanhardy/www/forum/admin/db_mysql.php on line 154

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/evanhardy/www/forum/admin/adminfunctions.php:19) in /home/evanhardy/www/forum/admin/anotes.php on line 42 


After that it seems that everything works, i just refresh the page. But the error is annoying, What can i do to fix this... Im kind of new to the hackign thing. Thanks.

i am also getting the same error

[Thewnagchung]

ditto here. im getting the same error

[Kars10]

Works like a charm!!
Thanks.

Excellent addition.

/me does the install dance!

By the way, how do we get it to display smilies or vbcode? It doesn't display them for me.

[Boofo]

Another addon to this already great hack.

Instead of displaying and empty message box if you click "Leave a message" and hit enter before you enter anything (to erase the message until I can get a delete button for it), this will only leave the "Leave a message" line until someone enters a message. (No sense having an empty message line or an Author line if there is no message. )

Change this:

PHP Code:

makelabelcode($note);
makelabelcode("Author: <a href='$bburl/member.php?s=&action=userinfo&userid=$userid'>$author</a> | Posted: $date_posted at $time_posted");
echo "</table></td></tr></table></form>\n"; 


To this:

PHP Code:

if ( $note != "" ) {
makelabelcode($note);
makelabelcode("Author: <a href='$bburl/member.php?s=&action=userinfo&userid=$userid'>$author</a> | Posted: $date_posted at $time_posted");
}
echo "</table></td></tr></table></form>\n";
