Thanks itsid for inform me

[Nathan2006]

Thank you for the update itsid

Is there anyway to have a confirm message such as "Thank you for your report" or something?

Just so members know that its submitted

Thanks again

So,
Mecho...
change template sid_report_form to

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
                function rep_combine(){
                    for(var x=0;x<$report_count;x++){
                        if(document.getElementsByName("rep_box")[x].checked == true){
                            if(x == $report_count-1){
                                alert("$vbphrase[sid_report_alert]");
                            }
                            var rep_out = document.getElementsByName("rep_box")[x].value;
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                    window.document.rep_form.reason.value = rep_out +' $vboptions[sid_report_delimiter] '+ window.document.rep_form.rep_text.value;
                }
                </script><fieldset class="fieldset">
                <legend>$vbphrase[sid_report_reason]</legend>
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="90%" align="center">
                        $sid_report_reasonbits
                    </table>
            </fieldset> 


and create a new GLOBAL Phrase named sid_report_alert with

PHP Code:

Remember to note down a reason 


or whatever you find suitable.

Nathan, well yes there is a way,
there are hacks that do just that by sending a PM to the "reporter" for example,
but in fact I consider that less useful, because of the feedback of vbulletin itself.
see report.php:

PHP Code:

eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_reportthanks')); 


that'll showup the "redirect_reportthanks"-phrase already if report was send.

Bah I have just un-installed this hack 'cause it's pretty messed up. Whatever.

[itsid]

Well snake...

I'm unhappy to hear, but if you do a clean install and stop messing up the templates it'll surely do as normal

[Mecho]

Thanks anyway

[itsid]

You now have your popup,
what redirect are you talking about?

All redirects are from report.php itself btw.

[Mecho]

i mean no popup shows up .. if users didnt select anything or select last option without comments it will redirect to another page ( /report.php?do=sendemail&hint=reportbadpost ) and c this
