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

Some custom skins wont show that info up, but it can easily be solved by placing the code wherever it fits best

When is new version going to be released?

[Distance]

Hello, i have a version 2.0 BETA now

All other bugs have been fixed in this version, but obviously when the Send email and Post report discussion forum options are turned off, the post report system disables itself.

When i have sorted that, it will be released

Thx

Same here, it appears on the navbar but does not appear on the UserCP.

It would be very nice if the system could run into the forum, into the UserCP, our any other place but not on the ugly one that it runs nowadays...

Thanks for your hack, as soon as I make a bkp of my database i'll install it on my oficial board (instead of the test)

It isnt meant to be on the usercp, its meant to be on the navbar for staff and on the quicklinks bar for all members.

[Snake]

That's alright. Glad you have replied back to this thread anyway. Excellent, can't wait for tomorrow then!
