Default Prefix for Reported Posts

[woostar]

I'm guessing the hook is easy enough to find (as there are only a few in report.php), but does anyone know the line of code to add a default prefix to the threads created in the designated forum?

Thanks

Did you ever figure this out?

Is there a mod for this?

If you want it for reported posts it's a little more complicated.

I have a solution, but it requires a custom hook (or just custom code).

If you want it in a non-automated forum (such as a normal thread), that's easy enough!

(P.S: Original thread creation date is 2009).

Hi James, I would be very grateful if you could help me on this, I found this add-on - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233364 but it's not working for the reported posts threads.

Thanks.

Post reports don't create threads on the same hook, so it won't work.

Open includes/class_reportitem.php

Search for (line 243):

PHP Code:

$threadman->set('visible', 1); 


Add under:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('report_dataman')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


Open up includes/xml/hooks_vbulletin.xml

Look for (line 982):

PHP Code:

<hook>report_send_complete</hook> 


Add underneath:

PHP Code:

<hook>report_dataman</hook> 


Go to your plugin page, create a new plugin.

Hook: report_dataman

Code (replace CODE with your prefix id):

PHP Code:

$threadman->set('prefixid', 'CODE'); 


Alternative Method

When you open class_reportitem.php, instead of adding the custom hook, just add:

PHP Code:

$threadman->set('prefixid', 'CODE'); 


(replacing CODE with prefix id)

Then you're done. I prefer to use hooks so I have more control though.

Brilliant James, working perfectly, thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it. :up:

James, I believe you can use your code without making any edits using the threadfpdata_start hook, with the following code:

PHP Code:

if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'report')
{
   $this->set('prefixid', 'yeah');  
} 


This is untested but 99% positive it works.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for your code, I posted a while ago wondering how to do it without editing code and it seems its worked!

Thanks.
