Moderators Functions - Report Thread Prefix Management

Overview:

This product allows you and your moderating staff to more easily distinguish between report threads (including those generated by my Profile Reporter) that have not yet been resolved from those that have been taken care of by using colored prefixes for the threads.



Upon installation, a new prefixset is created consisting of two thread prefixes...one for unresolved report threads (bright red) and one for resolved report threads (darker green with strikeout text). These prefixes will only be available in the forum you have designated for report threads, and in the forum you have designated for auto-reported posts if you have "MarkFL: Automated Post Reporter" installed and active. If you uninstall the product, then the prefixset is removed from your database.

When a post is initially reported, the unresolved prefix is auto-added to the report thread. Then when someone on your staff (those with access to the report threads and with moderating privileges) posts to say what they have done to resolve the issue, they will find a checkbox in the "Moderation Tools" portion of the "Additional Options" block on the posting form for actions to be taken after submitting their message that will allow them to mark the report as resolved.



If a report thread has been previously marked as resolved, but another staff member is posting to add additional information and wishes to revert the thread back to an unresolved status, they will find that the added checkbox will mark the thread as unresolved.



In addition, an item has been added to the "Thread Tools" menu to allow your staff to change the status of reports without having to post.



You have the option to record the actions taken by this product in the moderator log. You can choose to record all actions, or just when the prefix is changed without posting, or not at all.

You have people that can view reported posts, but whom you wish not to be able to resolve them?

Sorry for my bad English.

What I wish is that only moderators or administrators can edit the prefixes, users can only view.

This product is designed to give your staff a convenient means seeing the status of reported post threads and marking them as resolved when the issue reported is taken care of. So, the only users who should see the prefixes are those who can see the reported post threads, which I would think would be your staff.

Is this what you're looking to do: http://i.imgur.com/2HMPvu9.png
If so, then you go to AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Thread Prefixes -> [Select Prefix] Edit Permissions -> Tick/Untick usergroups accordingly.

If you mean something else, please provide screenshots of what you want.

Installed on vb 4.13PL8 ...

Uploaded file and activated mod, but nothing ever appears anywhere when a test reporting of a thread was tried... it's as if mod isn't even installed...

Uninstalled mod, with thanks for your efforts ...

As with the other product, I would have to come take a look at what's going on.

On another note, have you considered updating your site to vB 4.2.3? You will likely have better luck with many products that have been uploaded within the last several years.
