Add-On Releases - Advanced Report Post Management System

CForums Message Validation

Distances First Official vBulletin Release!!

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH vBulletin 3.7.x and higher


What does it do?

This is better for forums which get alot of post reports, it allows staff to see the amount of post reports open and lets them review and leave appropiate comments.

Users can see there post reports made and can see the status of the report and the moderator dealing with the report.

Admins / SuperMods / Moderators can see the post reports

*Note Moderators will only see the post reports in the forums they moderate*


Moderators can see who reported the post and the time at which it was reported, and the comment given by the user. There are also links to the post itself, the thread the post is on, the forum the thread is in, the user who posted the post and the user who reported the post.

The user page can be linked anywhere you choose; I have included instructions for linking it on the quicklinks menu.


Moderators can update the status of the report, and add a comment. The user who reported the post can then see these changes reflected in their page - it will show the name of the moderator dealing with the report, the comment (if any) left by the moderator, and the time at which the report was last updated.

When a moderator sets the status of a report to 'closed', it is moved to another page in modcp called 'closed post reports'. Post reports that are in the pending state are still kept in the 'outstanding post reports' page.

See screen shots for more information

Other Notes

• Please note that since i didnt release the original i cannot give support for this modification, however i will help as best as i can
• I have permission to release this port of the original
• FULLY backup your site before installing this modification!! Im not responsible for any loss of data etc if you install this incorrectly or dont backup your database
• Uninstall any previous releases of this hack BEFORE installing this one, failure to do so will result in database errors. *Meaning previous releases, not previous versions of my release*
• This has only been tested on 3.6.4 and 3.6.5, i dont see why this wouldn't work on other versions of vBulletin 3.6.X
• See next post for updates and important notes!!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Important notice: By default if BOTH

• Post Reporting Discussion Forum
• Post Reporting Email

Are turned off.. the post report system will disable itself. I haven't
figured out a way to get round this yet but this will be updated in v2.10

So for now make sure in: vBulletin Options -> User Infractions & Post Reporting Options

One of these two options are turned on.

Click Install if you like this modifcation



Thanks

[Terminatoronly]

i have an question please see this:
A moderator can see in the navbar there is one post report


Can You Add A Notification thingy like a popup or something like that it would be great .

Btw its the best hack i have ever seen

[Distance]

Hey there, initially i thought i was going to release V1.0 and that was it

I might be releasing further addons for this script as it seems to be quite popular

[Delphiprogrammi]

you might asked pig and he might gave you permission but this system contains code i wrote and i never received a request for permission ..... A system like this is kind of useless now anyway since it became a default feature in 3.6.x you forget this one

Very nice

*installed*

This isnt a default feature in vBulletin 3.6.X


Also in the original:

Supporters / CoAuthors

* boozehound

Nowhere did it say Delphiprogrammi helped code it.. and your not in the supporter/coauthor



However.. i now know that if i ever want to port another hack, i should always as the original creator... and then ask you.. just incase.. even if it has nothing to do with you

*sigh*


Plus what did you actually write, i have gone over all the code anyway.. so its not really written by you

I now know the problem why the hacks not working for some people, im trying to make a fix for this now.. it will be fixed in the next release

When Post Reporting Email is turned off.. the hack just doesnt work

So.. a tempory fix would be to...

Turn on Post Reporting Email
