Banned Users List + Auto-Post Editing

First hack released here, it's pretty useful too! I put a lot of work into it, I hope you guys will enjoy it

Afterfl0w's Banned Users List + Auto-Post Editing

Banned List?

I'm sure you all have a basic idea of what a ban list is and does. But for those who don't, this is a script that will be uploaded to your forum, and when you view it, it will display all current and past bans. This banlist LOGS all bans in a table, to set a permanent example for new users.

The banlsit is useful for showing new users exact reasons for getting punished, ect.

Auto Post Editing?

This is a completely new feature that I haven't seen before. What this does, is if the user is banned straight from their post, via a link (shown below):

If they are banned via this link, it will auto-edit their post with a message saying "User banned for this post: [reason]". The screenshot below differs a tad because it has been customized for that forum:

This is amazing. How Do I Install?

Easy. Download the attachted Zip, upload files and follow the file edit directions in the install.txt.

Afterwards, you must edit the banlist_banbit template to accomidate your needs for the bantype. Eg:

<if condition="$banned['bannedpost']"><a href="$banned[bannedpost]"><if condition="$banned[type] == '8'">TIMEOUT</if><if condition="$banned[type] == '20'">PERMABAN</if></a><else /><if condition="$banned[type] == '8'">TIMEOUT</if><if condition="$banned[type] == '20'">PERMABAN</if></if>

You can edit the texts PERMABAN and TIMEOUT, and also the usergroupIDs of your banned usergroups. Do not edit the other parts, otherwise there will be links to the post even if there isn't one.


Questions? Support?

You can contact me on MSN at: flamethrower_stickattack@hotmail.com
I don't mind helping you customize the hack, since it could be a challenge for people newer to PHP. Just add me to MSN or E-Mail me and tell me you're from vB.org

Posting here would be a better idea, but if you prefer MSN or E-mail, feel free.


I'm not going to post a link forcing you to install this hack, but installs are greatly appreciated


Have a nice day all! :banana:

Please check the names to be 100% sure. Also, have you banned anyone yet?

Old bans will NOT show up on the list, though I'm working on a utility to have it do so.

OK its now working, dont ask i dont know but its working lol...
I already have members banned, is there away to import them to your new list?

Cool. I think I'm going to wait for the updates before I install this hack on my site :P

[ChrisTech]

Really interesting and cool mod/hack. Waiting for those updates before I install it. *subscribes to post, as a reminder.

okay i LOVE this idea!!

i run a forum for game servers hosted by my members...now when they ban someone from their server i would like them to have the capability to create their banned user's name and enter it in the banned user's list....

can you think of a way of doing this so i don't have to make them all admins lol....i don't mind the work myself but i am not always on...

no big deal just thought i would throw it out there and see if there was a way to do it somehow....like maybe in the mod panel or in the mod/admin thread menu....

[Tyegurl]

i am installing and crossing my fingers it will work with 3.6.0 beta 3
