Allow Mods a temporary ban of users

Hi
I´ve wrote a little hack upon request of my "Main"-Moderators.
This hack allows them to temporary ban a given user per Userid. Simply userid, reason and how many hours. The banned user will see a modified no-permission screen when he tries to login. The User can automaticly access the board again, when the entered time is over.
For the other hackers: Feel free to modify the hack and distribute a "better" version of this if you want.

Sry for my bad english.

anyways, this is a great hack, i think the person that made it has left the planet

needs some updating tho

1. What about two .php extensions? (see first post on this page)
2. How to ban not only for hours, but also up to 5 days?

Ok, We needed this for somebody and cleaned up some code and rewrote some as well a little. This version will allow you to temp ban users with no problems. I didnt add a hack to add it to the admin style drop down menu for mods. (searched but couldnt find that hack).

This is set to ban for hours, I will add one tomorrow for days or just do the math

Hope it works for you :bunny:

Need to reattach found one small bug still left

Hrm, interesting. When i try to edit it trys to load banuser.php.php
Edit: Fixed with ereg()

Also:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/mvhost/public_html/test/admin/adminfunctions.php:19) in /home/mvhost/public_html/test/mod/banuser.php on line 43

Line 43:
Header("Location: ".$PHP_SELF); // so that F5 works

I see a few people had this problem here but nothing was posted as to how to fix it.
Edit: I don't know PHP or VB very well so i just kicked in a javascript redirect since i don't think i'm going to get much help here. If you have another/better solution let me know

How did you fix that banuser.php.php problem?

I have no idea what to change....

[sKuLLo]

Yeah, how can we fix the problems listed on previous messages?

Sheesh i gave ya the answer. I didn't know PHP at the time either but i figured it out. =P Learning how to research and problem solve yourself will get you farther then just waiting for someone to hand you the answer.

PHP Code:

 doformheader(ereg_replace (".php", "", $PHP_SELF),"update");     //added eReg. was getting banuser.php.php - 9.15.03 by TheDPQ 


Theres probably a better solution, but i didn't care to nitpick the code and findout where its already adding the extra .php. Its brute-force, but it works.

FYI i was on a private testing board. So while it didn't break, it didn't really get tested out either.
