Moderators Functions - Ban Users From a Thread

Ban Users From A Thread
(Keep users out of a particular thread)

Summary:

Allows Administrators/Supermods to ban a user from a particular thread.
Most useful if you have a "flame started" and you dont want to lock the entire thread or ban the user entirely - just keep them out of the thread!

This mod was originaly created by Trigunflame for vb 3.5, but since the developer hasn't been online and updated his mod since 2006, I've decided to publish this port for 3.6 (thanks beano33)! I've tested it on 3.6.4 and 3.6.7 - and it works perfectly.


Features:

1. Allows Banning users from a particular thread.
2. This mod can be used if user has SuperModerator or higher permissions.
3. Cannot ban Mods/Supermods/Admins.
4. Can clear all bans in a particular thread, or bans from All threads.
5. Can ban/unban user from a single menu when clicking their username.
6. Page to display Forum Wide Thread Bans.


Instructions:

1. Download the .zip file
2. Read the guide in the README.txt document
3. Click Install if you like the mod


Support:

I will offer as much support as I can for all of you that installed this mod.
Please do not PM me for support, and state your question in this thread.

ok found something. I have to click ban user from thread twice, THEN is bans. After I go back to the user pop up, it shows unban user from thread, but I have to click it twice. (first time says banned user from thread, 2nd click says unbanned user from thread)

So any ideas on why I have to click it twice for banning and unbanning?

I decided that I was going to try out the ban via post hack instead.. Well. I didnt want to lose the bans I performed with this hack.. So I removed the uninstall code from the product before uninstalling.. Not the db tables and such are still there I guess.. I didnt like the other one as much so I decided to come back.. But now I cant install the product without removing the tables.. is there anything I can do to get the product back and maintain the existing data?

Hi ive discovered this works with 3.7.1 now... but only the admin can ban from thread not the moderators.. anybody know how we can make this work for moderators please... ive been trying to assign a moderator permission but it dosent work.

i wanted to be able to see who is banned in the postbit and to ban/unban from the icon images. so in postbit_legacy

$post[iplogged]

after i added

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
 <if condition="!isset($btu[$post[threadid]][$post[userid]])"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadban.png" alt="$vbphrase[btu_ban]" border="0" /></a>
 <else />
    <a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadunban.png" alt="$vbphrase[btu_unban]" border="0" /></a>
 </if>
</if>

whould be nice if u could add some more stuff like ban reason . auto unban , send auto pm to banned user etc

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183183" target="_blank">Here's the 3.7 version</a>.
I've added the option to ban through the icons too. Many thanks Konstantinos!

I'm currently working on an improved version. Here's the to-do list:

- Allow Mods/Supermods to use thread bans [optional];
- Time ban [hours, days, weeks...];
- Display ban reason when user tries to enter thread;
- Notification for banned users via PM.

If you have any more ideas, don't hesitate to share them with me.

[Konstantinos]

those options are cool. hope u implement them without file edits (as the other mod) . maybe an option to display which mod did the ban to avoid confusion whould be cool too.

Great !
Thanks, i'll test it on my board soon.

I'll also see if i can do something to allow mods to ban from a thread.

Hey, I'd like only Admins and Super Mods to be "safe" from this thread banning. We have a lot of moderators on our forums (clan forums, mods for every clan section) so many people have the immunity now. I want so that normal moderatos can be banned too.

I can edit the files by myself, just need help what to edit.
