Reported Posts create a new thread in specified forum

As requested several times, this Hack creates a new Thread whenever a Post has been reported.

The first Post contains the content of the reported post, as well as the reason.
The report emails are sent out as well, so this is just an addition to the vb function, not a new way of reporting.

Ok, hack is working. I commented like this:

# vbmail_start();
#
# foreach ($mods AS $index => $moderator)
# {
# if (!empty($moderator['email']))
# {
# eval(fetch_email_phrases('reportbadpost', $moderator['languageid']));
# vbmail($moderator['email'], $subject, $message);
# }
# }
#
# vbmail_end();

If wrong please correct me.

Now, I would like to know if it would be hard to add 2 more forums to this hack. For instance, my members like to ba able to report an offer on our board in these 2 scenarios:

1) This offer has expired.
2) This offer is a duplicate.

I would like to be able to add 2 text links that will show under a post witht he 2 choices above, and have them reported to the appropriate categories.

Can it be done?

Thanks!

Where do I get rid of them?

Go to vboptions >> General Settings >> Add Template Name in HTML Comments and disable that.

Now, I've discovered a bad interaction between this hack and the Thread Prefix / Category Hack by Mystics. This hack will stop working if you install Mystic's Hack and set require category to "true". To get the two to work together in that configuration you need to add the following line to the beginning of Xenon's custom code.

PHP Code:

$vboptions['categoryrequired'] = 0;

nice! gonna re-install then.

Is there any way for stopping people to report if there has been another report on that specific post?

and:

Is there a way so all reported posts on X Thread are merged into just 1 thread? This is because i dont want to have 5 threads for reports of X Thread.

Thats it. Thank you for your help

[Xenon]

would be possible to add those checks, but i don't have time to include em

I've got a question. I have mandatory post icons set on my forums (can't start a thread without chosing one).

This doesn't work with that. Is there a way to bypass this?
