Yes. It would be very nice if you made it appear in quick links or something for whoever is allowed to view it, because I have a custom community thing, and so it was not added there. It would make it a lot easier for us non-coders :P! Thanks

I'll add it into the next release. Sometime next week.

Spammers want to have their names in a searchable spot on your forum and could care less if they are banned. The best thing to do is to purge them from your DB and ban the IP at server level. While the intent of this hack is good, it is a bad idea.

That said, if there were a control where admin could choose which banned users are displayed, it would be a fine hack.

My 2 cents.

You can always robot.txt the url out or not give access to it for guests.

I've started working on a few of the requests here as well as adding a few other additions to it. I'll release an update to address more of the easier ones soon.

You can already decide which ids can and can't see it via the Usergroups field in the options area.

Hi,

I found a small bug in the following plugin: Plug-in Viewable Ban List (3)

if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit']) {
$template_hook['navbar_community_menu_end'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?do=banlist">Ban List</a></td>';
}

should be:

if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit']) {
$template_hook['navbar_community_menu_end'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?do=banlist">PHRASE</a></td>';
}

For all multi language systems PHRASE should be a vbulletin phrase like the product phase "banlist"

You can change the content of the plugin to:

if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit']) {
$template_hook['navbar_community_menu_end'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?do=banlist">'.$vbphrase['banlist'].'</a></td>';
}

to make it working

[jluerken]

For version 1.0.3 the Plug-in Viewable Ban List (3) should look like this:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit_enable']) 
{
    if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit'] == 1) 
    { 
        $template_hook['navbar_community_menu_end'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?do=banlist">'.$vbphrase['banlist'].'</a></td>';
    }

    if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit'] == 2) 
    { 
        $template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?do=banlist">'.$vbphrase['banlist'].'</a></td>';
    }

    if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit'] == 3) 
    { 
        $template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?do=banlist">'.$vbphrase['banlist'].'</a></td>';
    }

    if ($vbulletin->options['banlist_template_edit'] == 4) 
    { 
        $template_hook['navbar_buttons_right'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?do=banlist">'.$vbphrase['banlist'].'</a></td>';
    }

}
