This system offers an advanced management system for all types of reported content including:

• Posts

Features of this hack (some of which are illustrated by the screenshots):

• Report management area accessible from the Mod CP and Admin CP
• Full integration with notifications menu
• Commenting/update system
• Ajax loading of the reported content from within the CP
• Quick links related to the report/report discussion
• Can set to only display reports that moderators have permissions to 'do something about'
• Fully phrased to allow easy translation

Installation Instructions:

1. Backup your forum database. You are installing this modification at your own risk - I will not be held responsible for any damages or losses to your computer/web server/site data/vBulletin installation that occur from trying to install/uninstall this hack.
2. Extract the files from the .zip archive
3. Open the upload directory
4. If you have changed the directory names of the Mod CP or the Admin CP from the defaults you will need to apply the same changes here.
5. Upload the contents of the 'upload' directory to the forum directory on your web server
6. When the uploads are complete go into the Admin CP and expand the 'Plugins and Products' menu on the left-hand side.
7. Click the 'Manage Products' link in the menu you just expanded.
8. Click the '[Add/Import Product]' link at the bottom of the page.
9. In the 'OR import the XML file from your server' text box change 'product.xml' to 'product-pprm.xml'
10. Click 'Import'
11. Click OK on the prompt
12. Make sure in the vBulletin Options menu under 'User Infractions & Post Reporting Options' that Post Reporting Email is not set to 'no e-mail'. Due to the core hook location of this hack it will not work if e-mailing is not enabled in the vBulletin options. However, this can be overridden on the PPRM configuration page.
13. and you're all done You may wish to change the configuration of PPRM, this can be done from the Post Reports menu in the Admin CP navigation.
14. Mark the mod as installed, this is so you can receive updates regarding the mod. I won't spam you or send you drunken e-mails lolol.

This hack is still in beta phase and I would really appreciate your feedback with any bugs/errors/design issues you encounter. Things to watch out for are compatibility issues with non-major browsers and the 'acknowledge permissions' setting not working as I've only done a very limited amount of testing on it.

The inspiration for this hack came from Distance's Advanced Post Report System for 3.6 which was an upgrade of a mod by some guy called pig, lol.

Something like inlinemod, but... erm... in the Mod CP (yes, the redundancy is awesome!)

Yeah I may look into doing something like this when I get an opportunity to work on the next. There is a link to the post at the top of the report I belive so time speant searching for it shouldn't be an issue, I edit the title though so instead of saying "X has reported Y's Z" it says "X has reported Y's Z in W" the trouble is I don't want to start cluttering the interface by including too many options, although I could change the side links to a drop-down menu in the next release to accommodate for extra options, we'll see!

*bows down and worships Pedro!*

I can think of several different huge forums I have been staff at that this particular mod would have made a night and day difference for. Thank you so much for releasing it!

There are still some bugs in the software.

I dont know why, but it doesnt work on my Forum.
I think i installed everything correctly, but nothing happend, when i Report a Post.

Do u have an Idea why, Pedro?

[superduiker]

Works mostly O.K.

Only issue is ran up against was that it does show newly made reports wich are perfectly placed in the section I wanted. Mods of mij forum als get a message, but when the click the link they get a database error.

This is because the do not have acces to the ACP, only admin and supermods can do this.
To fix this I'd have to set each mod to supermoderator, something I didn't have in mind, while my forum is set tot different sections belonging to separate moderators in wich each of them has specific rights. A supermoderator would have the same right over the complete forum.

Second issue is that not just the mod for who the report is to be handled by is getting the message of a new report, but everone, including alk mods of other sections of our board.

Standard out of VB reports are sent to a specfic, handset, section of our board. What I'd like to have is a feature wich sends an extra PM tot the moderator with the rights to fix it and none to any other.

Anyone?

It'd be really cool if this mod was updated for vB 4.0 compatibility... I had to disable it on my 4.0 forum because it was no longer compatible. But, I am keeping it installed, in hopes that Pedro! would please, please update it for compatibility!!!

[Pedro!]

I actually have some time this weekend so will try look at the database error you talked about superduiker.

Sorry Joe, I'm afraid I won't be upgrading to vB4 in the foreseeable future and therefore I won't be releasing this mod for vB4. Sorry for the disappointment.

[ToNetU]

i would love to see this working on vb 4.0! PLEASE Pedro!
