Add-On Releases - Advanced Report Post Management System

CForums Message Validation

Distances First Official vBulletin Release!!

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH vBulletin 3.7.x and higher


What does it do?

This is better for forums which get alot of post reports, it allows staff to see the amount of post reports open and lets them review and leave appropiate comments.

Users can see there post reports made and can see the status of the report and the moderator dealing with the report.

Admins / SuperMods / Moderators can see the post reports

*Note Moderators will only see the post reports in the forums they moderate*


Moderators can see who reported the post and the time at which it was reported, and the comment given by the user. There are also links to the post itself, the thread the post is on, the forum the thread is in, the user who posted the post and the user who reported the post.

The user page can be linked anywhere you choose; I have included instructions for linking it on the quicklinks menu.


Moderators can update the status of the report, and add a comment. The user who reported the post can then see these changes reflected in their page - it will show the name of the moderator dealing with the report, the comment (if any) left by the moderator, and the time at which the report was last updated.

When a moderator sets the status of a report to 'closed', it is moved to another page in modcp called 'closed post reports'. Post reports that are in the pending state are still kept in the 'outstanding post reports' page.

See screen shots for more information

Other Notes

• Please note that since i didnt release the original i cannot give support for this modification, however i will help as best as i can
• I have permission to release this port of the original
• FULLY backup your site before installing this modification!! Im not responsible for any loss of data etc if you install this incorrectly or dont backup your database
• Uninstall any previous releases of this hack BEFORE installing this one, failure to do so will result in database errors. *Meaning previous releases, not previous versions of my release*
• This has only been tested on 3.6.4 and 3.6.5, i dont see why this wouldn't work on other versions of vBulletin 3.6.X
• See next post for updates and important notes!!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Important notice: By default if BOTH

• Post Reporting Discussion Forum
• Post Reporting Email

Are turned off.. the post report system will disable itself. I haven't
figured out a way to get round this yet but this will be updated in v2.10

So for now make sure in: vBulletin Options -> User Infractions & Post Reporting Options

One of these two options are turned on.

Click Install if you like this modifcation



Thanks

Chances are I will pay a coder to write an update for 3.7 if it isn't forthcoming.

I'd be willing to contribute if you need some extra $$. I *need* this for 3.7!!! PM me and let me know.

Count me in!

My Mods doesn't know how to work without it

Hey guys,

I've managed to fix mine...its because somehow jelsoft have left out the report_send_process from report.php so I have added it back in.

I have however reported this in the VB Bug tracker and am awaiting a response from Jelsoft about it.

I suspected it was something simple like this because I noticed that all that "wasn't happening" was it wasn't getting entered into the table upon report. Thanks for the heads up!! I'll see if I can add the hook in mine

EDIT: Magic!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!

Bro,

If you can upload the modified file or add here instructions of how to fix the hack would be great!

thanks!

[pootsey]

The most simple fix is to re-add the hook back in.

Open up the report.php file in your main directory then:

Find:

$reportobj->do_report($vbulletin->GPC['reason'], $postinfo);

Place this code immediately above it:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('report_send_process')) ? eval($hook) : false;

If installing for the first time however, the xml file wont upload as its coded dependency is up to 3.6.99 but if you open the xml file before uploading and just change the 6 to a 7 it works wonders (that only needs done for new installations)

[Awjvail]

Yay, thanks a lot.

What would be even better is if this somehow would work with visitor messages, photo reports, album reports, and whatever other new reports have been added in 3.7

I'm sure it wouldn't be very hard.. I'm looking into doing it, haven't figured it out yet though. Any help?

[pootsey]

yeah I see what you mean.. I might have a look into it later.

I might edit this script a bit and re-release it for 3.7 acknowledging Distance's work if I have time.

Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /home/username/public_html/forum/includes/class_reportitem.php(341) : eval()'d code on line 4
