Moderators Functions - Moderation Auto-PM v2.0.1

Moderation Auto-PM
Version 2.0.1

What is it?
Moderation Auto-PM will automaticly send a Private Message to the user whenever their thread, post or attachment is moderated using the Thread Tools or Inline Moderation Tools.

It has support for the following types of moderation:

• Thread: Move
• Thread: Delete
• Thread: Undelete
• Thread: Stick
• Thread: Unstick
• Thread: Open
• Thread: Close
• Thread: Approve
• Thread: Unapprove
• Thread: Title Edit
• Post: Edit
• Post: Move
• Post: Delete
• Post: Undelete
• Post: Approve
• Post: Unapprove
• Attachment: Approve
• Attachment: Unapprove

All options can be turned on/off in the AdminCP. Moderation Auto-PM will not show the user where their thread is being moved to/from if they do not have permission to view the forum. You can also set a "master" exclude list of forum IDs that will never be touched by Moderation Auto-PM.

What's new in Version 2.0.1?

• Added support for opening and closing threads by double-clicking on the thread icon
• Fixed a bug caused by a missing phrase

Credit for this release goes to ConqSoft, as he notice the missing phrase bug, and suggested the new Ajax open/close feature

What's new in Version 2.0?

• Fully compatible with both vB 3.5.4 and vBulletin 3.6 Beta 2 or above! :banana:
• Support for editing posts / titles using the ajax quick edit bits
• Support for deleting posts via quick edit
• Don't send a PM if you are moderating your own thread
• Send a Delete PM instead of a Move PM if moved to a particular forum (ie, a recycle bin type forum)
• Age Cutoff Point - if the item is over a certain age, a PM won't be sent
• A couple of tiny bugfixes that no-one noticed

How do I install / configure it?
Please see the install.txt file contained within the zip.


How do I upgrade?
If you are upgrading from a previous version of this mod (any version), just upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones and re-import the Product XML, making sure you set "Allow Overwrite" to Yes.

If you are upgrading from PM on Thread Move, please uninstall that hack first, then install this one following the instructions in install.txt


Thanks go to redlabour for kindly providing a German translation for the phrases and to everyone who nominated this mod or voted for this mod in HotM June

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 will try to add that to a future release, no promises though

Thanks,

Before I install:
Who is the sender of the PB?

I want to have a 'forum-bot' or an admin account to send all the PB's, not the individual mod.
Is that possible?

[Alan @ CIT]

Eagle: You can choose an account to send the messages from in the AdminCP Options. If left blank, it will be sent from the moderator who altered the thread.

Thanks,
Alan.

Any plans to port this for 3.6? Could you let us know when it's been fully tested on 3.6? It's not something I want to lose on upgrade.

[Alan @ CIT]

With regards to v3.6 Beta 1, I will be installing 3.6 tonight and testing all of my mods.

I will post the results this evening.

Many thanks,
Alan.

[find]
<hook>threadmanage_complete</hook>
[add below]
<hook>threadmanage_editthread</hook>
<hook>threadmanage_deletethread</hook>

add

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

find

eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_deletethrea d'));

just above this

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

[redlabour]

Will it work in the Future with vBulletin 3.6 ?

[Alan @ CIT]

Redlabour: See above, I'll be testing it tonight when I install 3.6

Stinger2: I'm not sure what changes your refering to. This hack has never required the changes you mentioned

Thanks,
Alan.
