Miscellaneous Hacks - List Reported Posts

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is something I have been using for the last few years on Cable Forum, it displays a list of reported posts 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.

For this system to work you must have vbulletin set-up to create a new thread for each report.

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.

Note: For this to function, certain phrases must be edited as per the instructions, if you fail to do this, it will not display correctly.

If enabled, this will also attempt to 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.


History:

v3.8.001 : First Release for vB 3.8.
v3.8.002 - Added auto links with choice of Quick Links or Community Links.
v3.8.003 - Fix hard coded path in thread links.
v3.8.004 - Updated to allow staff usergroups to be secondary groups.
v3.8.005 - Internal update, not released.
v3.8.006 - Fix deleted post and lowercase bugs.

Hi Paul,

two questions

1. On my board, we try to make moderators anonymous. Is there a way to not show the moderators column, but still find a way to show the "reported post information" pop-up?

2. In the "reported post information" pop-up, I'm always seeing "No Reply Yet " in the comments field, even when there's been a response in the reported post thread.

Thanks!

1. I suppose you could edit the template to output some fixed text instead of the mods name.

2. The response must be a quote (or whatever tag you have set) in the first staff response post.

Thanks Paul. Which of the templates control the output of the report list? The "Reported_Post_list" does not have a field for the specific row items.

Hmm, having looked, its not that simple, you would have to edit the plugin code.

They are standard vb phrases, you search for them in the ACP (Languages & Phrases >> Search in Phrases) - I dont really see what else I can tell you.
