Reported post creates new thread.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This plugin modifies the reported post system to create a new thread in a pre-selected forum and disables the send of reported post e-mails. This is a port of the version run on our forums, which is based on the original Xenon hack. This is posted with his permission.

Version 2.01 is now released as a product. Download the xml file and then import it into your forum using the product manager.

Everything you need is now imported - there is also no need to edit the plugin anymore - instead you set the id of your reported posts forum in the vBulletin Options > General Settings area.

If you wish to upgrade from version 1 then delete the current plugins and template associated with this hack - then import the product - and set the forum id in the vb options.



History:

v2.01 : First Release.

Ah, glad you're sorted - the new version should prevent this - as the template is imported by the product into the master style.

btw - please click install

Very nice plugin but somehow the

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: report_post --><!-- END TEMPLATE: report_post -->

tags keep coming up; does anyone have a solution? (I've checked the templates but it's not in there.

i think if you remove the commend : put template names for templates in admincp that will vanish. It did for me anyway.

PHP Code:

eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_reportthanks',1,1)); 


.. the actual one is not showing the redirect completely...

Is this something that is needed?

Just curious if it was updated in the attached file, if it was, I am not getting any sort of redirect message.

@Paul M, forgive me if this was answered, however, if I set up the hack to start a new thread in a staff area where the user who reports the post does not have access to read or post, will it still create a post from him/her?

Great hack!

**clicks install**

This is totally unrelated to this hack - it is because you have "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" set to yes in the vb general settings. It should always be set to no on a live forum.

There is no redirect code in the hack, it's not necessary IMO, but you can add it if you prefer it on your forum.

Yes, it will create a thread in a staff area, regardless of whether the user has permission to view it - I would think this is how 99% of people use it.

Yet again, another awesome modification.
