Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Zoints Forumban - Ban members from a single forum

This modification allows staff to ban users from a single forum for a specified time period. Once banned, the user is automatically notified via private message. When the time period is up, the user is automatically unbanned from the forum and sent a PM notifying them of this fact.

A simple "forumban user" link is added to the user options in the admincp.
.

And there you are presented with the forumban system. From that point, it's all automated


And in vbulletin options > Zoints forumban options:






Official support for this modification will be at http://network.zoints.com in this specific forum.

* Bugfix for supermods seeing invalid forums in the forum chooser
* Bugfix for uninstalling product not dropping table

After you ban the first person, it will be listed above the forum ban options on admincp > users > forumban user

It doesn't support that, sorry.

Release date is when the person is set to have the forumban automatically expire.

1. setting_zointsforumban_message_title

2. setting_zointsforumban_pmtitle_title

[Bulent Tekcan]

I need that....

You have been banned from {forum}!

and

Dear {user},

You have been banned from the following forum:
{forum}

Release: {release}
Reason:
{reason}

-{admin}

And of course unbanned message,because users only see this messages in his/her PM.Many forum use more than 3-4 language,and nobody knows english %100

Thanks

Note: Plugin translated no problem,my main problem in above.

[Zoints]

Ah, I see

Search for those in the .xml file and edit them there as desired

Example:

Line 284

<defaultvalue>You have been forumbanned from {forum}!</defaultvalue>

[Bulent Tekcan]

Still confused...

I need phrases...If user use EN language this message must be EN,if user use FR language this message must be FR,or TR or whatever.

Maybe you put a phrarses in XML file.

Like that maybe...

$vbphrase[zointsforum_ban_pmtitle]
$vbphrase[zointsforum_ban_pmmessage]
$vbphrase[zointsforum_unban_pmtitle]
$vbphrase[zointsforum_unban_pmmessage]

I think now very clear it is only need 4 phrases.

Thanks

Can't this just be done via the Forum Permissions in the admincp ??

1- But I didn't see never in ban system....any trick for that ?

2- And also I need disable this system for supermoderator ,only Admin use...Is it possible to that ?

3- If I disable this product,users still not view banned forum...

4- Is it possible (or future plan) every ban open a thread (like that infaction system)
