Miscellaneous Hacks - Banned Users List

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.



What is this!?
This modification will allow you show a page containing all of your banned users. I suppose you could think of this as a public "Wall of Shame", per say.


Check the screenshots to see exactly what is displayed.


Current Version
1.0.2



Features flagged for future version(s):

• Looking for suggestions

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.8 versions. I've not tested this on anything earlier than 3.8.



Sounds cool. How do I install?

1. Upload everything inside the "upload" directory of the zip file to your forums.
   
   • banned.php => To your FORUM ROOT directory
   • functions_bannedusers_list.php => To your FORUM_ROOT/includes directory
2. Login to your Admin Control Panel and go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
   
   • Click on "Add/Import product"
   • Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file), and click "Import"
   • If upgrading from an older version, then set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".
3. In your admin control panel go to vBulletin Options => Banned Users List
   
   • Edit the Usergroups that you do not want to show the banned members list to.
4. Optional: Only if the auto template injection does not work, as the template hooks were not found.
   
   • In the "navbar" template, find:
     

     • $template_hook[navbar_quick_links_menu_pos3]

   • Below it, add:
     

     • <if condition="$vboptions['bannedusers_enabled'] AND $vboptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, $vbptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'])"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></tr></if>

Upgrade

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. Go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
3. Click on "Add/Import product"
4. Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file)
5. Set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes", and click "Import"

Specifically from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 and later:

• If you are using the auto template edit in 1.0.1, find and remove the following from your navbar template:
  
  

  <if condition="$vboptions[bannedusers_enabled]"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></if>

• If you do not want auto template edits, replace the above code in the navbar template with:
  
  

  <if condition="$vboptions['bannedusers_enabled'] AND $vboptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, $vbptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'])"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="./banned.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[bannedusers_text]</a></td></tr></if>

How can we order the list by date and hide the ban reason for members please?

[VonDoom]

*click* Installed works great and is perfect for some things the team is dealing with at the moment. Thanks

All my banned are spammers.
If I had to ban so many members I think I'd close my board.

But this might be useful to display members from a specific usergroup.

A new version is in the works No ETA atm though.

Does anyone know how to fix for vbadvanced? On my front page it goes to wrogn url? instead of "forums/banned.php" it just goes to "banned.php"?

Thanks

Installed - Can you add group view permissions in future update.

Works fine on my VB Advanced portal. check url settings in vbadvanced settings pages

I can't get my registered users to be able to see it, I have checked all settings everywhere and don't see how to get registered users to see the banned list. I logged in under my regular account on my board and it says I don't have permission to view the page.

Sorry I figured this out right after I posted this. You have to enter the usergroups that are able to see the list.

Nice thanks
