Moderator management system

tested with 3.0.3

You went into a lot of trouble selecting the moderators for your forum, you created a set of rules, told them what you expected from them. Now, how do you know if they are really moderating?

Of course, if you have 3 forums and 3 moderators, it's not big deal. But if you have 5+ moderators then this tool might be useful.

I wanted to receive an alert when my moderators were absent, or when they were in the forum but weren't doing any moderation at all... also I want my moderators to be active posters. But checking on every one of them is time consuming. That's why I made this tool.

With it you receive an alert pm if:

• a moderator has been absent for more than x days
• a moderator has not modded (edited/deleted/moved/closed) for more than z days
• a moderator has not posted in HIS forum for more than y days
• a moderator has nos posted for more than y days
• a moderator has not created a new thread in HIS forums for more than y days
• a moderator has not created a thread globally for more than y days
• a moderator has failed to OPEN and potentially read at least x percent threads in HIS forum in the last week

Installation instructions:

1)
Upload the files in the .zip file to your forum. Make sure that you follow the directory structure in the zip file.
modmanagement.php goes in the root of your forum
functions_modmanagement.php goes to the includes/ directory
modmanagement_cron.php goes into the includes/cron/ directory
modmanagement_install.php goes into the admincp directory

2)
Open the modmanagement_install.php in your browser

3)
That's it No file modifications, no template modifications

Customization:
- Go to vbulletin options and change how many posts a moderator should do in how many days, how long can someone be inactive, etc.
- Go to the scheduled tasks and you can change the cron job. By default, it sends the alerts sunday morning.

Other options:
Open modmanagement.php in your browser to see a summary of the moderators activity.

Even more customization:
Note: You should really test that the hack is working and that you like it before doing anything else

*optional* For integration in the admincp and a link in every page, you need some file modifications, here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=27

*optional* The summary page can only be accesed by administrators. If you want to give access to supermoderators or moderators, here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=64

You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it

charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

In preparation for an upgrade I added the requested uninstaller for the people that wanted to have total control of the hack. It is not a separate file but instead you should run modmanagement_install.php (in your admincp) and you will have the option to uninstall the hack, all settings, phrases and templates added will be deleted and only the files are left for you to delete. This is also useful if for whatever reason you want to reinstall the hack.

I have successfully tested it in my local vbtest of my forums and in my production environment, however I would advice to have a backup of your forums before attemping to install or uninstall any hack including mine, "just in case".

great hack! thank you!!!

couple of suggestions that have already been posted
-ability to track supermods and admins (for comparison sake)
-PM or Email "summary" mode, instead of 50+ random PM's (i turned the cron task off cuz it spammed me to death)

installed.....all my admins got 140 PMs. I delted them from the table pmtext and they are gone but the unread PMs shows as 140 still???????
