Report Bad PM for vB3.7
Version 1.0.5
(By Boofo)
What does this product do?
This mod will allow the member to report a bad PM to the the Admin or Mods that you choose to receive the report. It also has a setting to start a thread in the forum of your choice for PM reports. I don't use that option as I don't think it reporting PMs in threads is a very smart idea, but I know I will be asked to add it and since it was already there, I left it in.
Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 -- Initial release for vBulletin 3.7.0 beta 4.
Version 1.0.2 -- Fixed missing TABLE_PREFIX.
Version 1.0.3 -- Re-did the PM template to be more in line with default vB PMs.
Version 1.0.4 -- Re-did the e-mail template to be more in line with default vB e-mails. Fixed datamanager error if PM receiver was over their PM quota. Added reportpmlog file, available to Super Admins only, to view and manage Bad PM Reports via the Admin CP.
Version 1.0.5 -- Updated with securitytoken.
Note: This will now work with both the posbit and postbit_legacy templates. This now is set at ON on install as well as User ID 1 receiving the Bad PM reports.
Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Paul M for most of the re-write for this for 3.5.4. Also, I want to thank to cheesegrits for his invaluable help on fixing the datamanager error while using the quote tags in the PM messages and helping me put the finishing touches on this new version. Last but not least, thanks goes to Dismounted for his permission for the use of his code for the automatic button insert into the template. Thank you, sir.

Yes, as this will work in either postbit now in case you want to change it later and the PM message has been totally designed for easier viewing. Also, it defaults to being ON on install and User ID 1 to receive the the PMs. I would recommend upgrading. I would welcome your opinion on the new changes.
You can thank Dismounted for the code to insert the button in both postbits. Check out the PMs and let me know what you think of the way they look now compared to the way they were before. I think you'll be happier with the new version.
Thanks for this Boofo, just for your information after upgrade from 1.0.2 there weren't the default options set (no user ID and disabled).
How can I make it only sends the report to user ID 1 and to no moderator?
I managed to change the warning message under the report box effortlessly, and I love the new format of the message that gets sent! Great job, once again!

If you just copied over it, the settings will stay what you had set before. I would do an uninstall and re-install it and it will be set how you want it. then go into the settings and see how I have it set to do it that way so next time you will know how to do it. Just enter the User ID or IDs of who you want to get the PMs in the bottom setting and make sure the Usergroups setting above it is cleared. It can either be set to Usergroups or User IDs.

What warning message did you change and what did you change it to? I am always looking to better a hack if a good suggestion comes up.
When reporting a PM, I changed the default red text to this:
Quote:
This is only to be used to report spam, problematic (harassing or rude) private messages, or any other content that violates our rules.
I removed the bold and red font (to make it a bit more professional and flow across the board), and I also made the word "rules" link to my rules page.
