Miscellaneous Hacks - Banned Users List

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.


What is this!?
This modification will allow you show a page containing all of your banned users. I suppose you could think of this as a public "Wall of Shame", per say.


Check the screenshots to see exactly what is displayed.


Current Version
1.1.6


Features flagged for future version(s):

• Looking for suggestions

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 4.0 versions. If you would like to use the vB 3.x version, you can find it here.


Sounds cool. How do I install?

1. Upload everything inside the "upload" directory of the zip file to your forums.
   
   • banned.php => To your FORUM ROOT directory
   • functions_bannedusers_list.php => To your FORUM_ROOT/includes directory
2. Login to your Admin Control Panel and go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
   
   • Click on "Add/Import product"
   • Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file), and click "Import"
   • If upgrading from an older version, then set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".
3. In your admin control panel go to vBulletin Options => Banned Users List
   
   • Edit the Usergroups that you do not want to show the banned members list to.
4. Optional: Only if the auto template injection does not work, as the template hooks were not found.
   
   • In the "navbar" template, find:
     

     • {vb:raw template_hook.navbar_quick_links_menu_pos3}

   • Below it, add:
     

     • <vb:if condition="$vboptions['bannedusers_enabled'] AND $vboptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, $vbptions['bannedusers_hidefrom'])"><li><a href="./banned.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">{vb:rawphrase bannedusers_text}</a></li></vb:if>

Upgrade

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. Go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
3. Click on "Add/Import product"
4. Browse for "product-bannedusers.xml" (included in the zip file)
5. Set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes", and click "Import"
6. Upload and overwrite 'banned.php' and '/includes/functions_bannedusers_list.php'

Here's another bug fix:

Since version 4.0.1, there has been an additional template variable call (to grab additional.css) in the HEAD.

Please add the following:

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

Before </head> in your template and you're all set.

If you're looking for features to add. an older banned list had ability to disable whatever column you want in the admincp.

example Banned by. I just manually did the template edits.

Developer: Request New Feature in Admincp

please make it possible to show this list in admincp, and shown is a link to unban them with a click of a button, this would then be a better MOD to use and more useful

[tech4c]

Looking for suggestion eh? A email list beside the username would be awesome. At one of my communities theirs imposters, this would solve that problem.

This mod will show all banned groups. So, as long as a usergroup is selected as a "Banned Group" in the Usergroup Manager, it should show on this list.

Not what this mod is/was intended for. That is a default feature of vBulletin...

So... just show their email address? Maybe elaborate a little more, please?
