Miscellaneous Hacks - List Reported Items

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is something we have been using for the last few years on Cable Forum, it displays a list of reported posts and reported private messages - for both staff and members to see.

The list shows ;

Reported Date/Time
Reporter (Staff Only)
Thread Title
Post Number
Actioned Date/Time
Moderator Who Actioned.

Warning: For this system to work you must have vbulletin set-up to create a new thread for each report. Installing this will disable the e-mail reporting, so until you have a report forum set, reporting will be disabled.

On the reported posts page members can click on the Actioned Moderator name to see any comment left by the moderator.

A report is considered as actioned by the first staff member to reply in the report thread. The comments are read from that first post (by default it reads anything inside quote tags).

Staff can click on the reporter to be taken directly to the report thread.

Staff Usergroups are defined in the mods settings - also the number of days to show reports for is defined in the settings.

If enabled, this will also add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links. There is also an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.

This will only list reported posts and private message's.

I have this set for usergroups 5,6,7 to be able to view this mod under "Community Links" ...

However, standard registered users under usergroup 2 can see it as well?

Am I misunderstanding something about what the "Comma seperated list of user groups allowed to see 'who reported' link to the report thread." option means?

Thanks ..

Regards,
Badger

Yes you are misunderstanding.

That permission controls whether you can see who reported each post in the list.

The link to dsiplay the list is available to everyone.

Just one thing to clarify:

Installing this will disable the e-mail reporting, so until you have a report forum set, reporting will be disabled.

This mod disables email reporting, but you can turn it back on and email reporting works after that.

We upgraded to 4.1.3 and have found that this mod has stopped working ..

I just noticed that a post was reported by an Admin and it doesn't show up in the list?

In fact, no posts reported in the past 14 days are shown.

Has something changed we are missing?

Thanks ...

Regards,
Doug

Nothing Im aware of has changed. I cannot properly test it from my current location (holiday, back home next week) but I would have expected other reports of an issue.

[BadgerDog]

Thanks ... don't worry about it Paul ....

I agree.. I would have thought someone else with 4.1.3 would have reported a problem if there was one.

Have a great holiday ... :up:

I'll do some more checking and see if I've screwed up anything, but it's a pretty straight foward install, however, give me a coffee break and you have to re-train me.
