Moderators Functions - Pedro!'s Post Report Manager 0.93

This system offers an advanced management system for all types of reported content including:

• Posts
• Group Messages
• Group Pictures
• Profile Album Pictures
• Group Picture Comments
• Profile Album Picture Comments
• Private Messages
• Visitor Messages

Features of this hack (some of which are illustrated by the screenshots):

• Report tracking for the reporter
• Report management area accessible from the Mod CP and Admin CP
• Full integration with notifications menu
• Commenting/update system
• Ajax loading of the reported content from within the CP
• Quick links related to the report/report discussion
• Can set to only display reports that moderators have permissions to 'do something about'
• Fully phrased to allow easy translation

Installation Instructions:

1. Backup your forum database. You are installing this modification at your own risk - I will not be held responsible for any damages or losses to your computer/web server/site data/vBulletin installation that occur from trying to install/uninstall this hack.
2. Extract the files from the .zip archive
3. Open the upload directory
4. If you have changed the directory names of the Mod CP or the Admin CP from the defaults you will need to apply the same changes here.
5. Upload the contents of the 'upload' directory to the forum directory on your web server
6. When the uploads are complete go into the Admin CP and expand the 'Plugins and Products' menu on the left-hand side.
7. Click the 'Manage Products' link in the menu you just expanded.
8. Click the '[Add/Import Product]' link at the bottom of the page.
9. In the 'OR import the XML file from your server' text box change 'product.xml' to 'product-pprm.xml'
10. Click 'Import'
11. Click OK on the prompt
12. Make sure in the vBulletin Options menu under 'User Infractions & Post Reporting Options' that Post Reporting Email is not set to 'no e-mail'. Due to the core hook location of this hack it will not work if e-mailing is not enabled in the vBulletin options. However, this can be overridden on the PPRM configuration page.
13. and you're all done You may wish to change the configuration of PPRM, this can be done from the Post Reports menu in the Admin CP navigation.
14. Mark the mod as installed, this is so you can receive updates regarding the mod. I won't spam you or send you drunken e-mails lolol.

This hack is still in beta phase and I would really appreciate your feedback with any bugs/errors/design issues you encounter. Things to watch out for are compatibility issues with non-major browsers and the 'acknowledge permissions' setting not working as I've only done a very limited amount of testing on it.

The inspiration for this hack came from Distance's Advanced Post Report System for 3.6 which was an upgrade of a mod by some guy called pig, lol.

Nope. Read the installation instructions, paying special attention to step 9.

[samuelss]

Thanks. I only have 1 folder (upload) plus three txt files - changelog, credits and Upgrade Instructions.

The only file I can see with an .xml extension is the file inside the upload folder ie. upload/includes/xml/product-pprm. Is this the same file to import?

Thanks.

Yep, that's the same file to import. You can browse to it and install that way it's just doing from your server is just easier.

You should also have the .xml file cpnav_pprm.xml which puts the navigation in the admin control panel. If you do not have this file then you should try redownloading the archive. The file is most definitely in there.

What does this do?

Acknowledge moderator permissions when displaying reports?
Recommended for forums with a large flow of reports

Tnx

[Pedro!]

Well, it means that when a mod goes to open/closed reports in the CP it will only show the reported posts in the forums they can moderate. It also checks moderator permissions with pictures, picture comments and visitor messages.

These are the permissions checked:

PHP Code:

    switch($report_type) {
            
                case 'post':
                    if (can_moderate($irow['forumid'])) {$can_view = 1;}
                break;
                
                case 'gm':
                    if (can_moderate(0, 'caneditgroupmessages') OR can_moderate(0, 'candeletegroupmessages') OR can_moderate(0, 'canmoderategroupmessages') OR can_moderate(0, 'canremovegroupmessages')) {$can_view = 1;}
                break;
                    
                case 'gp':
                    if (can_moderate(0, 'caneditalbumpicture') OR can_moderate(0, 'candeletealbumpicture')) {$can_view = 1;}
                break;
                            
                case 'pap':
                    if (can_moderate(0, 'caneditalbumpicture') OR can_moderate(0, 'candeletealbumpicture')) {$can_view = 1;}
                break;
                            
                case 'gpc':
                    if (can_moderate(0, 'caneditpicturecomments') OR can_moderate(0, 'candeletepicturecomments') OR can_moderate(0, 'canmoderatepicturecomments') OR can_moderate(0, 'canremovepicturecomments')) {$can_view = 1;}
                break;                
                
                case 'papc':
                    if (can_moderate(0, 'caneditpicturecomments') OR can_moderate(0, 'candeletepicturecomments') OR can_moderate(0, 'canmoderatepicturecomments') OR can_moderate(0, 'canremovepicturecomments')) {$can_view = 1;}
                break;
                            
                case 'pm':
                    $can_view = 1;
                break;
                            
                case 'vm':
                    if (can_moderate(0, 'caneditvisitormessages') OR can_moderate(0, 'candeletevisitormessages') OR can_moderate(0, 'canmoderatevisitormessages') OR can_moderate(0, 'canremovevisitormessages')) {$can_view = 1;}
                break;
    
    }
