vB Report Manager 2.0 (Admin CP) - Report to Email, PM, Staff Forum as a new Thread!

vB Report Manager 2.1 (Admin CP) - Report to Email, PM, Staff Forum as a new Thread!

By Dr Erwin Loh

What does this hack do?

When a member reports a post, the report goes to:

1) Email (as per normal)
2) PM
3) A new thread in your private Staff Forums
4) In the report, there will be a link to the new thread in your private Staff Forums

Or ANY of the above combination!

The thread title now has the Date/ Time of Report, Originating Forum and Reported Poster!

There is now Admin CP support under vBulletin Options - you can choose to switch on or off any of the notification methods, and set the FORUM ID for the Staff Forum you want the posts to appear in.

All you need to do is run install_vbreport.php and modify 1 file - report.php.

Update Version 2.0

1. Added Admin CP support - choose to switch on and off each notification method. Also specify your Staff Forum ID in Admin CP.

2. Added more info to the THREAD TITLE - now with NAME OF FORUM, USERNAME OF POSTER, AND DATE/ TIME OF REPORT!

Update Version 2.1

1. Fixed email option bug

2. Fixed URL parsing bug

To upgrade, it's easiest just to reinstall this hack over a CLEAN REPORT.PHP file.

Admin CP installer and install instructions in HTML file in ZIP below.
Screenshots attached.

Enjoy!

It would also be good to be able to include all the moderators in on the reply to the e-mail. I had this done in VB2, but have no clue how to make it happen in Vb3 which AVS Forum just moved to last Sunday.

Thank you.

That's possible with some code changes. I don't have time to do this at the moment.

Bummer...But understood. Does not sound like it would be to bad. Are you for hire?

No.

[David Bott]

That also is too bad.

Your wife asked you whether you are for hire???

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Nope, she saw your avatar and asked when YOU where for hire.

BTW...I forgot to mention this addition works very well. So thank you very much.

To get rid of the Admin CP settings bits, run vB in debug mode so you can delete settings easily.

Erwin,

I'm still messing with this trying to get it to work and still unable to. Your above comment says to make the changes to an unhacked private.php - what changes? The install file nor anywhere in this thread (least that I could find) call for any changse in to a private.php file.

Am I missing something?
