Miscellaneous Hacks - Banned Users List

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.



What is this!?
This modification will allow you show a page containing all of your banned users. I suppose you could think of this as a public "Wall of Shame", per say.


Check the screenshots to see exactly what is displayed.


Current Version
1.0.2



Features flagged for future version(s):

• Looking for suggestions

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.8 versions. I've not tested this on anything earlier than 3.8.



Sounds cool. How do I install?

1. Upload everything inside the "upload" directory of the zip file to your forums.
   
   • banned.php => To your FORUM ROOT directory
   • functions_bannedusers_list.php => To your FORUM_ROOT/includes directory
2. Login to your Admin Control Panel and go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
   
   • Click on "Add/Import product"
   • Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file), and click "Import"
   • If upgrading from an older version, then set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".
3. In your admin control panel go to vBulletin Options => Banned Users List
   
   • Edit the Usergroups that you do not want to show the banned members list to.
4. Optional: Only if the auto template injection does not work, as the template hooks were not found.
   
   • In the "navbar" template, find:
     

     • $template_hook[navbar_quick_links_menu_pos3]

   • Below it, add:
     

     • <if condition="$vboptions['bannedusers_enabled'] AND $vboptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, $vbptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'])"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></tr></if>

Upgrade

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. Go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
3. Click on "Add/Import product"
4. Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file)
5. Set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes", and click "Import"

Specifically from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 and later:

• If you are using the auto template edit in 1.0.1, find and remove the following from your navbar template:
  
  

  <if condition="$vboptions[bannedusers_enabled]"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></if>

• If you do not want auto template edits, replace the above code in the navbar template with:
  
  

  <if condition="$vboptions['bannedusers_enabled'] AND $vboptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, $vbptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'])"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></tr></if>

This would be very dangerous for Webmasters in Europe. European Law is very restrictive about privacy Rights.
