I just installed this... It's not working at all.

I am on 3.7.0... perhaps that is the problem?

I installed in vb 3.7.1 level 2 and is working perfectly, not only added the phrases in postbit and postbit legacy, because it's not there.
But even then it worked perfectly.

Thank you.

I haven't tested it on 3.7.0 yet, but if you followed the installation steps and you're sure you made no mistakes, most likely - that is the problem. Only 3.7.1 and above. Maybe if you tell us what error you get, we'll try to solve the problem.

Hey there !

Great mod, works perfectly on my site ! :up:

I've enhanced it in order to allow mods and supermods to ban user from thread.

Just re-upload the xml file in the admincp (allow overwrite -> yes).

You can choose to give or not the ability to mods and supermods to ban from a thread in the templates modifications (see the new README file in this post's attachments) : just modify the usergroups you want in this line :

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))"> 


(at the start of every template modifications).

Thanks Julrou! : ) But it sure needs more development before realeasing the new version.

I wouldn't like Moderators to have permissions to ban users on ALL forums, but instead - just on the forums they are assigned to moderate. We also have to keep the installation proccess simple - no manual tempate edits. If you're interested, we could both develop this mod and publish it. The sooner - the better.

However, if anyone wants to give all moderators the permisson to ban users from threads on all forums - install Julrou's modification. Tested - it works
