Reported post creates new thread.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This plugin modifies the reported post system to create a new thread in a pre-selected forum and disables the send of reported post e-mails. This is a port of the version run on our forums, which is based on the original Xenon hack. This is posted with his permission.

Version 2.01 is now released as a product. Download the xml file and then import it into your forum using the product manager.

Everything you need is now imported - there is also no need to edit the plugin anymore - instead you set the id of your reported posts forum in the vBulletin Options > General Settings area.

If you wish to upgrade from version 1 then delete the current plugins and template associated with this hack - then import the product - and set the forum id in the vb options.



History:

v2.01 : First Release.

Sorry, no idea, I don't even know what it is, but I assume it has it's own support thread.

Thanks so much Paul. I can't tell you how much time this will save me.

Thank you Clicking install.

To add the forum name to the created thread's title and post content, it should be a matter (as outlined above) of changing the 'title' line in the XML to:

PHP Code:

    'title' => 'Reported post in ' .$foruminfo['title'] . ' : ' . $threadinfo['title'] 


and adding:

PHP Code:

Forum : [url=$vboptions[bburl]/forumdisplay.php?f=$foruminfo[forumid]]$foruminfo[title][/url] 


to the Report_post template or by adding it to above the "Thread :" line in the XML file.

If you do have some characters like & or < in your forum title, there may be problems in the created thread's title (as outlined earlier in this thread), but maybe try using htmlentities($foruminfo['title']) or htmlspecialchars($foruminfo['title']) instead of $foruminfo['title'] in the 'title' line.

any thought on why Everyone but admins would be able to report a post?

As someone stated, the Admin is not given the report post option.....

And the post created contains these comments... how would I remove those??

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: Report_post -->
The following post has been reported ;

Thread : This is just a test

1. This has zero effect on who can report a post since it's not called until you actually report one.

2. Turn off the "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" option in the ACP - it's a debug feature, not for live sites.

Is there a way to get the reported post opened in a new window instead of the parent one?

wellon the board im running this on we get the option to report a post however when we submit it, it does not apear in the forum designated for reported post to show up. Super Mod and below will show up, but Admins don't

works like a charm on 3.5.4, could we have an option enabled to send emails + create a new thread as well ?

thanks.
