improved postreporting system the vb 3.5.x port

hi,

first this is a port of this hack and i post this with the original authors permission

this thingy modifies the vbulletin "report post to moderator" feature.It has a global switch in the admincp when switched off post reporting is as normal (like build into vbulletin).The postrporter(s) cans ee a table off the posts) they reported and a modorated can provide feedback through the modcp

optionally is the scheduled task which allows you to remove reports based on the date cutoff (specied in the system settings)you can also se this setting to "0" and choose "run now" to remove all reports at once.

like all scripts that modify your database i'd like to say please remember to have a recent backup ...

i'm also working on porting this to the plugin system so the fileedits are no longer needed but that's not quite ready yet

instructions on howto install the system are in the zip

not working as it should ? errors ? give me a yell i'm allways around

vbulletin product
Here's a vbulletin product that does the same as the code modification.The only thing that isn't working yet is the "also email" option when somebody reports a post (i temporarly removed it)

installation is like any other vbulletin product.Plugin system => manage products => add product => import the xml

set the settings like you want (it has it's own settingsgroup) hit save and you're done

Optional is the cpnav_postreport.xml this adds the menu to the admincp to avoid admins must logins to the modcp.Upload this file to /includes/xml/

installation instructions for the product

• if you installed the system using the included installer run it again and choose uninstall (requirerd or you will get MySQL errors)
• download the product XML and import it to your productmanager in your admincp
• edit the postreportsystem settings and hit save

using the product the file edit in report.php is no longer needed

New release version 1.0.1(instrunctions)

• upload all files from the zip(no need to manually add the templates)
• import product-postreports.xml (this file contains the templates)
• goto vbulletin->options->postreport settings and adjust like you whish (click save when you're done)

with version 1.0.1 file edits are no longer needed it also calls build_language(); and build_language_datastore(); so no problems with phrases should occour

vBulletin 3.6.x contains similair functionalty by default sow it is not needed to install this on Bulletin 3.6.x

Bashy

isn't that file in the quick links menu (if there are active postreports) ? if not i'll include instructions on howto add one.And that XML file is updated to show "outstanding reports" and "closed reports"

Hi m8,

No there aint, but i just added it myself
Can only the staff see the link or how does it actually work?

Is it that if a member reports it then they can view thier report?
Can they view anyone elses report?

EDIT: just found out a members cant see someone elses report, this is really good, well done, thanks

Cheers

Bashy

PS. (just rated ya thread)

that depends ........ if you use the product(the XML file) then no file edits are needed

file edits are only needed when you do not use the plugin / hook system

Okay, I understand now. Thank you.

i didn't tryed this yet but i guess a mod can only see reports where he got moderator rights so moderator from forum a cannot view stuff from forum b (i think need to test this to be sure)

hi people,

a little update on the status of porting this system to the plugin / hook system.It's done but i found a verry annoying bug.it keeps on emailing reports even when this option in the settings is set to no.This can be verry annoying on big forums (eg allot of posts per day) so i'm trying to find a way around before release
