Moderators Functions - Moderation Auto-PM v2.0.1

Moderation Auto-PM
Version 2.0.1

What is it?
Moderation Auto-PM will automaticly send a Private Message to the user whenever their thread, post or attachment is moderated using the Thread Tools or Inline Moderation Tools.

It has support for the following types of moderation:

• Thread: Move
• Thread: Delete
• Thread: Undelete
• Thread: Stick
• Thread: Unstick
• Thread: Open
• Thread: Close
• Thread: Approve
• Thread: Unapprove
• Thread: Title Edit
• Post: Edit
• Post: Move
• Post: Delete
• Post: Undelete
• Post: Approve
• Post: Unapprove
• Attachment: Approve
• Attachment: Unapprove

All options can be turned on/off in the AdminCP. Moderation Auto-PM will not show the user where their thread is being moved to/from if they do not have permission to view the forum. You can also set a "master" exclude list of forum IDs that will never be touched by Moderation Auto-PM.

What's new in Version 2.0.1?

• Added support for opening and closing threads by double-clicking on the thread icon
• Fixed a bug caused by a missing phrase

Credit for this release goes to ConqSoft, as he notice the missing phrase bug, and suggested the new Ajax open/close feature

What's new in Version 2.0?

• Fully compatible with both vB 3.5.4 and vBulletin 3.6 Beta 2 or above! :banana:
• Support for editing posts / titles using the ajax quick edit bits
• Support for deleting posts via quick edit
• Don't send a PM if you are moderating your own thread
• Send a Delete PM instead of a Move PM if moved to a particular forum (ie, a recycle bin type forum)
• Age Cutoff Point - if the item is over a certain age, a PM won't be sent
• A couple of tiny bugfixes that no-one noticed

How do I install / configure it?
Please see the install.txt file contained within the zip.


How do I upgrade?
If you are upgrading from a previous version of this mod (any version), just upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones and re-import the Product XML, making sure you set "Allow Overwrite" to Yes.

If you are upgrading from PM on Thread Move, please uninstall that hack first, then install this one following the instructions in install.txt


Thanks go to redlabour for kindly providing a German translation for the phrases and to everyone who nominated this mod or voted for this mod in HotM June

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!

Moderation Auto-PM won't send PMs for changes made by Kirby's hack, but I'll see what I can do to add support for it in a future version - no promises though

Thanks,
Alan.

Glad to see you've got it working though

Thanks,
Alan.

Is it ok to add that code then?

anyway the fix is to add this plugin also
(tested and working)

in hook location: editpost_delete_complete
add

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'deletepost')
{
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'reason' => TYPE_STR
));
 
// Fetch posts
$post = $db->query_first("
SELECT post.postid, post.threadid, post.parentid, post.visible, post.title,
thread.forumid, thread.title AS thread_title, thread.postuserid, thread.firstpostid, thread.visible AS thread_visible
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread USING (threadid)
WHERE postid = $postid
");
 
 
include_once(DIR . '/includes/class_autopm_checker.php');
include_once(DIR . '/includes/class_autopm_parser.php');
include_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_autopm.php');
 
mod_autopm($postid, 'delete', 'post', $post['threadid'], 0, $vbulletin->GPC['reason']);
 
} 


Does this cover both hard-delete and soft-delete?

[Acers]

its covering only soft delete as of now.. thats cos i added it to delete_complete hook

you can add to editpost_delete_start
to cover for hard deletes also but then add the can_moderate checks also as it might..(i use the word might) happen that the pm might be sent when the actual deletion errors out due to say a permission prob.. highly unlikely but well on my board i give only soft delete permissions so i didn't take the chance.

but yeah inserting above code to editpost_delete_start should cover for both the soft and hard deletes

I'll stick with the way you are doing it then. I only want Admins to be able to hard delete on my site anyway, so we should be all set with your code. And thank you for posting it, sir.

Not to sound ignorant here, but how do I set it so only Admins can hard-delete posts and threads? I don't think I've ever bothered with that before, to tell you the truth, or I don't remember dealing with it, anyway.

I like the look of this mod and will have a play around with it

Use it alongside vBPunch for quick warnings on things that dont need an edit (or whatever) and it will make moderating canny easy

Cheers.

This doesnt work with the following hack
