vBPunch v1.2 - A Quick Warning System

If Upgrading from version 1.1, upload all of the files in the Zip, making sure that they overwrite the old ones, then install the product XML.

If upgrading from version 1.0, please follow the instructions in the install guide in the Zip file.

Changelog
Version 1.2

• Clicking "Cancel" on the extra text prompt means that the PM will not be sent
• Adding an option to display a confirmation popup when the PM has been sent
• Fixed a bug with usergroup permission checking (thanks Osmosis)

Version 1.1

• Added a global on/off switch for vBPunch
• Added the ability to add/remove reputation points when punching
• Added usergroup permissions - you can now choose which usergroups are allowed to use vBPunch
• Now includes 3 "Punch User" images as well as the text link

What is vBPunch?
vBPunch is a quick way of sending a warning PM to a user, based on a post they have made.
It adds a link to the postbit called "Punch User". When an admin clicks this, vBPunch pops up a textbox letting the admin type a reason (if they wish, it's optional), then it sends the user a PM.

What makes vBPunch so special then???!?
The useful thing about vBPunch is that it does it all in the backgorund using Ajax. That means, no popup windows, no page refreshes, nothing. All the admin does is click the "Punch User" link, enter a reason if needed, then continues reading the thread / post, without being interupted.

Installation
Please read install.html located in the zip file

Un-installation
Please read install.html located in the zip file. Please ensure that you delete the uploaded files, before un-installing the product in the vBulletin AdminCP, otherwise you will recieve errors when you edit a usergroup.

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

I receive no notice that a PM was received. Tested by punching a test user account, then loggin in as that user. PM is there, but no notice.
