Moderators Functions - PM Moderation

PM Moderation
Version 1.0

Introduction

PM Moderation does exactly what it says on the tin! It allows you to moderate your members Private Messages before they are sent.

Ever had a new member sign up and do nothing but spam your members with Private Messages inviting them to leave your forum and join theirs? Or perhaps you've got 1 particular user who constantly sends abusive Private Messages to your other members? If so, then PM Moderation is the idea solution!

Features

PM Moderation contains many handy features to make your life as a forum Adminstrator or Moderator easier. These include

• Integrates fully with vBulletin 3.6.0 Beta 2!
• Fully Usergroup Controlled
• Moderate ALL Private Messages for a Particular Usergroup or...
• Moderate Private Messages that have certain Keywords in them!
• Simple Usergorup Permission for deciding who can Moderate Private Messages
• Integrated within the existing Private Messaging Options in the AdminCP
• Moderate Private Messages directly from within the ModCP and AdminCP
• Fully Phrased
• ... and much more!

Installation

Please see the manual.html in the zip for a full Installation and Configuration guide

PM Moderation was written by Alan @ CIT. The original idea came from Floris with the Keyword idea coming from an anonymous person. Thanks goes to everyone who helped test this modification before it was released, and in particular peterska2 who did a ton of Beta testing, and fixed countless bugs in my dodgy code


Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

PLEASE NOTE: This thread is NOT the place to discuss the rights and wrongs of monitoring users Private Messages. That topic has been discussed to death many times before, but if you really feel the need to discuss it, please do so in The Lounge, not in this thread. Thank you

Does it work for vB 3.6.0 Beta 1?

I haven't tried it on Beta 1 I'm afraid, as I run Beta 2

Thanks,
Alan.

[Floris]

It should have no problem running beta 1.

Got this error in beta 1, please help. It is still showing installed but I don't know whether it will work.

I have private messaging switched off. I was planning to activate it after I install this mod. Is this the problem?

[Alan @ CIT]

Unfortunately, there was a bug in vBulletin 3.6 Beta 1 which caused this problem. I would recommend upgrading to Beta 2, as it also fixes a number of other bugs

Thanks,
Alan.

[hurry]

Thanks. My Beta 1 forum is heavily modded. So I don't want to upgrade till the final 3.6 is relesed. Is there a way I can patch this particular bug in Beta 1 and make PM Moderation work? Please I hope this is possible.

Really Great, that's just what I was looking for

Edit plugin.php go to line 2091, and remove "$typeid," (note the comma, that must be removed as well)

Thanks,
Alan.

Alan,

I see all these new hacks for 3.6 from you, is Moderation Auto-PM ported for 3.6 ??

Great work!

Thanks
