Banned Members Log · **Released**: 10-30-2008

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
It is a update of my v3.7.x hack available here, with the addition of file hooks, hack authors can now use hooks to expand this hack if needed, and a new column for the usergroup the banned user has been put in.

This hack displays a log of all temporary and permanently banned members on it's own page, it is paginated (with page count on the permanent bans section) if there are more results than you selected per page in the AdminCP, temporary bans are only displayed on page 1 (if you have more temporary banned members than one page, you must be doing something wrong), along with a count on how many temporary and permanent banned members there are. Any users displayed on the page(s) will have links to display their profile, if clicked on.

It can also show an altered total member count on your forum's homepage (if enabled) to either show the altered members count (exclude all banned members), show the altered members and unconfirmed (Users Awaiting Email Confirmation) members count, show the altered members, unconfirmed members and banned members count, or you can disabled it altogether (so it shows the unaltered members count). Enabled or disabled, it does not generate any extra queries.

You can optionally add a link on either the navbar proper or quick links.

This hack is controlled by usergroup permissions.

As an added bonus (if enabled), if a usergroup has permissions to view the banned members log, then the banned members count on the forumhome page will be clickable and will load the banned members log if clicked on (if no permission, then it will not be clickable).

This hack was created because I liked the idea of this hack by jredrum, and as it is not supported, not phrased at all, has no pagination, and has no usergroup permissions to speak of, I decided to use the idea of that hack and rewrite it from scratch based on the ModCP file banning.php, I have also integrated my Total Member Count Excluding Banned Members hack into this one and have now retired it.

There is only one file change (to config.php), but no template changes at all and is fully phrased. This generates no extra queries on the forum homepage at all, and generates 9-11 queries (depending on options selected and if logged out/logged in) on the ban_log.php page.

vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]hr[/hr]
This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 3.6.0 - 3.8.8.

2 Mosh: Yes, after disabling Banned Members Log (3) the indexpage loads correctly.

EDIT: I tested something and i am rly confused about this...

1)
- Installed FRESH vBulletin 3.8.0 on my localhost. Don't make any changes, just install. Then used this MOD and it works perfectly. No errors on index page, ban_log.php works OK.
- Saved (exported) vBulletin options

2)
- Backuped whole DB and all files from my "life" forum and copied it on my localhost.
- Installed this MOD
- Disabled AdSense integration
- Disabled and UnInstalled ALL products and ALL plugins
- Reverted ALL template changes and ALL CSS definitions
- UnInstalled ALL nondefault templates. (So only Default skin remained without any customizations)
- Deleted ALL forums and child forums and created only one new category and one new forum
- Deleted ALL nondefault usergroups
- Deleted ALL notifications
- Deleted ALL thread prefixes
- Imported vBulletin options from fresh vB instalation
- In Maintenance used "Repair / Optimize Tables" on all tables
- In Maintenance used all of the "Update Counters"
- Again used "Repair / Optimize Tables"
- So now i should have forum equal to fresh instalation, but the problem still remains
- Unsintalled MOD, again used "Repair / Optimize Tables", browser cache deleted and Apache restarted
- Problem is still here

So now i rly don't know what to do

I suspected that. But there is not actually a parse error, it is something to do with your installation, but I don't know what is causing it.

All that plugin does is to add a link to the navbar or quick links menu on the navbar. So, all you need to do, is leave that plugin disabled and if you want to add the link manually added to the navbar template, paste the following where you want the link to display:

HTML Code:

<!-- $vbphrase[banned_members_log] v3.8.002 ? Mosh Shigdar 2008 - 2009 --><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vbulletin->options[bburl]/ban_log.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[banned_members_link]</a></td><!-- end of Banned Members Log -->

2 Mosh: Ok, thanks, i will try it.

BTW: Edited my previous post

EDIT: ARGHHHHHHH!!!

Now i rlly DON'T KNOW WHY, but if now i'm looking in code of Banned Members Log (3) of my copy of life forum i see uncomplete code!!

PHP Code:


			
// version information
$bml_version = 'v3.8.002'; 

// set display link flag to false
$show_bml_nav_link = false;

// if allow show to all usergroups, then set display link flag to true
if ($vbulletin->options['bml_all_grps'] == 0)
{
    $show_bml_nav_link = true;
}

// if user in allowed usergroup, then set display link flag to true
$banned_allowed_groups = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['bml_grps']); 
if ($vbulletin->options['bml_all_grps'] == 1 && (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,$banned_allowed_groups)))
{
    $show_bml_nav_link = true;
}

// if the display link flag is true, then add the link to the navbar or quicklinks
if ($show_bml_nav_link)
{
    if ($vbulletin->options['bml_nav_link'] == 1)
    {
        $template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<!-- '.$vbphrase['banned_members_log'].' '.$bml_version.'.

BTW: The lastest row missing one ' here in PHP tag ... accualy i see this:
$template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<!-- '.$vbphrase['banned_members_log'].' '.$bml_version.'.

And if i look into fresh vBull instalation with this MOD i see this (correct code). And ofcourse, after i copy&pasted full code to my forum, problem solved, everything is FINE ... so, there is some &ł@$&!!! mistake in plugin importation.

PHP Code:


			
Plugin PHP Code
// version information
$bml_version = 'v3.8.002'; 

// set display link flag to false
$show_bml_nav_link = false;

// if allow show to all usergroups, then set display link flag to true
if ($vbulletin->options['bml_all_grps'] == 0)
{
    $show_bml_nav_link = true;
}

// if user in allowed usergroup, then set display link flag to true
$banned_allowed_groups = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['bml_grps']); 
if ($vbulletin->options['bml_all_grps'] == 1 && (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,$banned_allowed_groups)))
{
    $show_bml_nav_link = true;
}

// if the display link flag is true, then add the link to the navbar or quicklinks
if ($show_bml_nav_link)
{
    if ($vbulletin->options['bml_nav_link'] == 1)
    {
        $template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<!-- '.$vbphrase['banned_members_log'].' '.$bml_version.'. ? Mosh Shigdar 2008 - 2009 --><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/ban_log.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'">'.$vbphrase['banned_members_link'].'</a></td><!-- end of Banned Members Log -->';
    }
    if ($vbulletin->options['bml_nav_link'] == 2)
    {
        $template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<!-- '.$vbphrase['banned_members_log'].' '.$bml_version.'. ? Mosh Shigdar 2008 - 2009 --><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/ban_log.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'">'.$vbphrase['banned_members_link'].'</a></td></tr><!-- end of Banned Members Log -->';
    }
}

HolyKiller · #45 02-22-2009, 08:57 PM

Okay, i find the problem ... the problem is in the symbol "?" in XML file on line 230 and 234.

Code:

        $template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<!-- '.$vbphrase['banned_members_log'].' '.$bml_version.'. ? Mosh Shigdar 2008 - 2009 --><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/ban_log.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'">'.$vbphrase['banned_members_link'].'</a></td></tr><!-- end of Banned Members Log -->';

Exactly here:
? Mosh Shigdar 2008 - 2009

The plugin import system just don't go thru this and does NOT import the whole code.

After i deleted the ? symbol 230 and 234 in XML file and imported the plugin again, everything is fine.

Now all works fine and i'm so happy. Thanks again for great hack

No wonder I could not replicate it

Oh well, I will just have to change it for the next version, as I am assuming that will only happen in very limited cases, as apart from yours I have not come across a case where it would not parse the copyright symbol (just me trying to be fancy).

Thanks for tracking it down

You need to check any other hacks that are using the parse_templates hook to see if they are the cause of the issue. If you can not track it down, you can always disable the Banned Members Log (3) plugin and live without the banned member count on the forumhome page.

Now is working OK Mosh...

Jon1422 · #49 06-11-2009, 04:34 PM

Excellent Hack - thank you Mosh

...and good luck with the exams

One thing I would like to change is to remove the 'banned by' column - it doesn't really fit in on our forum. If anyone could advise how to go about that I'd appreciate it

Jon1422 · #50 06-15-2009, 07:04 AM

Quick word of advice... when installed, the "ban time remaining" and "lift ban" column headers for temp bans are over the wrong columns

To correct, edit the .xml file prior to installing and locate the code lines:

<td class='thead' align='center'>$vbphrase[ban_time_remaining]</td>
<td class='thead' align='center'>$vbphrase[lift_ban]</td>

and swap these around so they read...

<td class='thead' align='center'>$vbphrase[lift_ban]</td>
<td class='thead' align='center'>$vbphrase[ban_time_remaining]</td>

Done

In the banned_log template, find and delete the two instances of:

HTML Code:

<td class='thead' align='center'>$vbphrase[banned_by]</td>

In the banned_perm_row and banned_temp_row templates, find and delete:

HTML Code:

<td><div class='smallfont'><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$user[adminid]">$user[adminname]</a></div></td>

That is all that is needed
