Add Option to Moderation Tools

[Artistichaven]

How can I add an option to the Moderation Tools dropdown portion of Thread Tools?

You would have to add your option to the SHOWTHREAD template, by editing the template or by doing a replacement in a plugin. Then you'd need a plugin using hook location threadmanage_action_switch to handle when it's selected (it's probably best to look at postings.php and search for that hook name to see how to handle it).

Custom work specific to a forum's needs.

What do you mean by a replacement in the plugin? I was hoping I wouldn't have to edit any templates. Blergh.

Fortunately I happened to know of a plugin that adds to that menu. The code (using hook showthread_start) looks something like this:

if(can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid']))
{
	$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace(
			'$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>',
			'$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>\n<div><label for=\"my_option\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"do\" id=\"my_option\" value=\"my_option\" />My Option</label></div>',
			$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']
		);
}

You'd want to replace all occurances of "my_option" with something else of course, and also the text "My Option" (and if you want to use a phrase for that, use something like $vbphrase[my_option])

Is it just me or is the code not working?

It could be just you, or the code, what is the exact code you are trying to use?

Yep, my fault, sorry about that. I edited the code without testing it, and there was an extra double quote in there. I fixed the code above.

Nice catch Kevin.
