Hi

Great work. Thanks a lot.

My wishes:
I would like to see an option that treadstarter can ban/unban an user from his thread. Maybe optionally to disable this for specific user(s)/groups/forum/mods/admins in acp. please.

I would like to see a reason option and a possibility within directly to contact the mod/admin/threadstarter which banned the user.

Sorry for my terrible english.

Regards, Stoebi

in my SHOWTHREAD template I find the following:

<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
<div><label for="ao_oct"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_oct" value="openclosethread" checked="checked" /><if condition="$show['closethread']">$vbphrase[close_thread]<else />$vbphrase[open_thread]</if></label></div>

It's says it's supposed to be:

<if condition="$show['openclose']"><div><label for="ao_oct"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_oct" value="openclosethread" checked="checked" /><if condition="$show['closethread']">$vbphrase[close_thread]<else />$vbphrase[open_thread]</if></label></div></if>

any ideas why it's not there?

[Tyegurl]

could possibly be another mod you have installed that required you to change that line of code...or try to find it in another spot possibly there are two lines of similar code...( i ran into the simialr code before)

[Hawk7173]

I tried installing the code after the segment I found, but the mod doesn't work. When I click on the username the ban from thread does not show up. I removed what I put in there until I find out what I should do.

Just great.
Sultan clicks install.

can you mod this hack so that it keeps members out of certain forums instead?

[Ramsesx]

Very nice idea, thanks a lot.

[Bubble #5]

This is an incredible mod and should be made as standard equipment on vB - hint, hint :bunny:

[Iceman62]

This would be a good hack. I think I did everything right, but it won't work. Am I supposed to upload anything to the plugins system? I have no idea. :cross-eyed:

[EDIT] Nevermind, I got it!! Nice hack!! Thanks.

[Hawk7173]

I've double and triple checked and everythin is correct according to instructions and it still doesn't work.

One thing that I did do is add the code in both "postbit" and "postbit_legacy" templates. Would that make a difference? Once I save the templates is there anything else that needs to be done?

Thanks.... any help would be greatly appreciated.
