PM on Thread Move v1.0

A New Version of This Hack has been Released with Support for most Moderation Functions!

Get it from: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115677

Please UNINSTALL this mod before installing the new one



Description
This is a simple little plugin which will send a PM to the thread owner when one of their threads is moved to a different forum, and a re-direct is NOT used.

Quite often the problem arrises of re-directs cluttering up a forum, but if you move a thread without a redirect, then users cannot find it.

This plugin should solve that problem.

Installation
Just upload the attached product XML file. It will add 2 new hooks, and 2 new phrases.

Notes
This currently only works if you move the thread using either the ajax inline moderation, or the Thread Tools menu. If you move the thread from within the ModCP or the AdminCP, then it will not send a PM.

The PM subject and text are stored in the GLOBAL phrases "q_pm_on_move_message_subject" and "q_pm_on_move_message_text" respectivly

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

Thank you so much - this is the one hack I cannot live without!

q8manar,

In the hooks inlinemod_domovethread and threadmanage_move_simple, find the following code:

PHP Code:

// Fill in the blanks
$pm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
$pm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->userinfo['username']) 


This is the code you need to change. For example, if you wanted to send it from userid 10, and the username of ModBot, you would change it to:

PHP Code:

// Fill in the blanks
$pm->set('fromuserid', "10");
$pm->set('fromusername', "ModBot") 


I'll make this an option in the next version.

Ok, I am new to this. Where do I upload the file to?

Great hack

Did it check if $threadinfo['postuserid'] = 0 (post created by guests)?

[Mr Chad]

very nice. This should be a standard option.

well, supposed that the option to PM on move is turn on (in AdminCP) (I guest), or like right now, it's always PM on move, if you have "reason to send to thread poster", you can also add an option above it, asking of the Mod want to send the PM or not. Sometime, when you need to move something, and you dont really need to PM first poster, especially when you re-organize your posts, or your group's work space that the group know where the new location should be.


extend this, Admin can disable this option for mod in admincp.

In your vBulletin AdminCP, go to:

Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

And follow the instructions from there.
