Moderators Functions - Ban Users From a Thread

Ban Users From A Thread
(Keep users out of a particular thread)

Summary:

Allows Administrators/Supermods to ban a user from a particular thread.
Most useful if you have a "flame started" and you dont want to lock the entire thread or ban the user entirely - just keep them out of the thread!

This mod was originaly created by Trigunflame for vb 3.5, but since the developer hasn't been online and updated his mod since 2006, I've decided to publish this port for 3.6 (thanks beano33)! I've tested it on 3.6.4 and 3.6.7 - and it works perfectly.


Features:

1. Allows Banning users from a particular thread.
2. This mod can be used if user has SuperModerator or higher permissions.
3. Cannot ban Mods/Supermods/Admins.
4. Can clear all bans in a particular thread, or bans from All threads.
5. Can ban/unban user from a single menu when clicking their username.
6. Page to display Forum Wide Thread Bans.


Instructions:

1. Download the .zip file
2. Read the guide in the README.txt document
3. Click Install if you like the mod


Support:

I will offer as much support as I can for all of you that installed this mod.
Please do not PM me for support, and state your question in this thread.

I installed the product and then i did the template edits .

Any help is appreciated

- Thanksyou

You probably missed step #3 from the installation manual:
- Open BOTH templates posbit and postbit_legacy;
- FIND:

<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
    <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
    </if>

- Bellow that code, add the following:

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
 <if condition="!isset($btu[$post[threadid]][$post[userid]])">
    <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_ban]</a></td></tr>
 <else />
    <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=btu_ban&amp;t=$post[threadid]&amp;u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[btu_unban]</a></td></tr>
 </if>
</if>

Make sure you edit both templates. It will surely work.

Not yet, but probably will soon.

Maybe add a temp ban as well.

How do I use it? Do I right-click on the flamers name and something will come up and click ban or do I just go to the user options menu?

Just click on your member's usernames (not avatars) while reading the specific thread.

You will notice the following options in the drop-down menu:
- View Public Profile
- Send a private message to [member]
- Find all posts by [member]
- Add [member] to Your Buddy List
- Ban User from Thread

Choose "Ban User from Thread" and Whoala!

If you wish to unban the member, either click it's username again and choose "Unban User from Thread", or click Thread tools and choose to: Clear this threads bans, Clear every threads bans, or - View all threads bans.

Doesn't show and I did everything right. Will it conflict with other mods on my site?
