This is a good new, now 2 coders will look at it

In my forum there is only 1 usergroup for banned users and i use a hack that shows banned users in a list. Permanently banned users and the users banned for a while appear in this list together, but in messages (Postbit) both users appear as "Banned User". If in postbit or anywhere else in the message area shows the lift date of the ban, then it will be very understandable for users, admins and mods.

If this is not so hard to do, i will be glad to see this hack completed as soon as possible. :up:

If all you want to do is display the time remaining on the ban whenever the user tries to log on, then...

1). Open 'includes/functions.php'
2). Find eval(standard_error(fetch_error('nopermission_bann ed', $reason['reason'], $date)));
3). ABOVE it insert:

PHP Code:

// start code 'ban time'

        if ($date != $vbphrase['never'])
        {
            $remain = $reason['liftdate'] - TIMENOW;
            $remain_days = floor($remain / 86400);
            $remain_hours = ceil(($remain - ($remain_days * 86400)) / 3600);
            if ($remain_hours == 24)
            {
                $remain_days += 1;
                $remain_hours = 0;
            }

            if ($remain_days <= 0)
            {
                $timeremaining = "<i>Will be lifted soon.</i>";
            }
            else
            {
                if ($remain_days == 1)
                {
                    $day_word = $vbphrase['day'];
                }
                else
                {
                    $day_word = $vbphrase['days'];
                }
                if ($remain_hours == 1)
                {
                    $hour_word = $vbphrase['hour'];
                }
                else
                {
                    $hour_word = $vbphrase['hours'];
                }

                $timeremaining = "$remain_days $day_word, $remain_hours $hour_word";
            }

            $date .= "<br />Time Remaining: $timeremaining";
        }

// end code 'ban time' 


Cheers,
David.

FullyTested, thanks for your interest but i'm not talking about this. I need a countdown which will show in postbit under the nick name or under the age, and only unbanned users will see this countdown.

Hi Breathex,

I've attached a simple mod to this post.
It will display the time remaining on a ban inside the postbit.
All members will see this.

Edit...
For the actual code, please see:

Install Instructions:

1). Import the product via the Admin CP
2). Open the 'postbit' and 'postbit_legacy' templates and
Find:

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>

BELOW it insert:

<!-- start code 'sbt' -->
<if condition="$post['ban_time_remaining']"><div class="smallfont">$post[ban_time_remaining]</div></if>
<!-- end code 'sbt' -->

3). Done.

I hope this is what you are looking for.
David.

Hi David,

It works like a charm my friend, thanks alot.

[FullyTested]

You are very welcome.

David, i have a small but important problem with the codes. After i imported the product, it writes "Ban is Permanent!" on some of my members postbits but they are not banned. I'll be glad if u find a solution for this problem.
