Major Additions - Banned Members Log

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
It is a update of my v3.7.x hack available here, with the addition of file hooks, hack authors can now use hooks to expand this hack if needed, and a new column for the usergroup the banned user has been put in.

This hack displays a log of all temporary and permanently banned members on it's own page, it is paginated (with page count on the permanent bans section) if there are more results than you selected per page in the AdminCP, temporary bans are only displayed on page 1 (if you have more temporary banned members than one page, you must be doing something wrong), along with a count on how many temporary and permanent banned members there are. Any users displayed on the page(s) will have links to display their profile, if clicked on.

It can also show an altered total member count on your forum's homepage (if enabled) to either show the altered members count (exclude all banned members), show the altered members and unconfirmed (Users Awaiting Email Confirmation) members count, show the altered members, unconfirmed members and banned members count, or you can disabled it altogether (so it shows the unaltered members count). Enabled or disabled, it does not generate any extra queries.

You can optionally add a link on either the navbar proper or quick links.

This hack is controlled by usergroup permissions.

As an added bonus (if enabled), if a usergroup has permissions to view the banned members log, then the banned members count on the forumhome page will be clickable and will load the banned members log if clicked on (if no permission, then it will not be clickable).


This hack was created because I liked the idea of this hack by jredrum, and as it is not supported, not phrased at all, has no pagination, and has no usergroup permissions to speak of, I decided to use the idea of that hack and rewrite it from scratch based on the ModCP file banning.php, I have also integrated my Total Member Count Excluding Banned Members hack into this one and have now retired it.

There is only one file change (to config.php), but no template changes at all and is fully phrased. This generates no extra queries on the forum homepage at all, and generates 9-11 queries (depending on options selected and if logged out/logged in) on the ban_log.php page.


vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]hr[/hr]
This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 3.6.0 - 3.8.8.

Other than that, this is a great, neat little mod.

I will see if that is possible, if it is, then I will may add it, not promising anything though, but I may.

One thing - Where do I change the text in the Nav that says 'Banned Members Log'? Basically want to remove the 'Log' part.

Sorry I missed this one

Edit the banned_members_link phrase.

I have had a look at it, and there is no direct connection between banned users and the infraction that banned them. If I can figure it out down the road, I may add it at that time.

See post above this one

New column - Ban Usergroup, for forums that have more than one usergroup that banned members are assigned to when banned (temporary or permanent).

Have you added it to the quick links yet? :P

What are you on about "yet"?

It has been in the AdminCP options since the first release of this hack (v3.7.001) in August 2008.

Check Automatic Link Creation in vBulletin Options -> Banned Members Log.

I get error msg after instalation on forum index page:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in /data/web/virtuals/xxxxxxx.xx/www/forum/global.php(609) : eval()'d code on line 25

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /data/web/virtuals/xxxxxxx.xx/www/forum/global.php(609) : eval()'d code on line 25

I try to set Default skin and no imports to indexpage, but no change :/

Automatic Link Creation: Disabled
Display Banned Members Count On Forumhome?: No

EDIT: I installed vBulletin 3.8.0 instalation on my local and changed anything in vBulletin options. Then i installed this MOD and it works perfectly. After this i copied my "life" forum on my local and uninstalled ALL plugins and products and reverted ALL template changes. After this i installed this Banned members log and i again get the error msg.

So, i think, problem is in vBulletin, not in this mod. But i rlly dont know how to find it

Try disabling the Banned Members Log (3) plugin and try again. Let me know the result.
