Alternate Reporting for 'Report Post to Moderators'

This is a port of my vB2 hack found here.

Instead of sending an email to the Moderators, this will generate a list in the ModCP of all reported posts. This allows all mods to view all reported posts at one time and also remove them from the list once dealt with.

Files modified: report.php (3) , modcp/index.php (1)
Files added: modcp/probreport.php

Queries: 1
Phrases: 1 (modcp link)

If you wish to still send an email with each reported post you can simply skip the first 2 changes in report.php. Those changes are simply commenting out the email code.


Due to my hectic schedule I may not be able to offer full support of this hack, but will try my best.

[edit - 01/29/04]
The probreport.php included in the attached zip file has been changed to rephrase the way reported posts are displayed. Upload the new probreport.php if you wish to apply the fix.

I have also attached a new screenshot to show this change.

This is a very good hack. Is it possible to also make it so that it can do the same thing for admins in the admin?

Thanks

Yes you can easily add this to the admincp by finding this code in the admincp/index.php file:

	construct_nav_group($vbphrase['moderation'], '<hr />', "$df");

Add above it:

	construct_nav_option($vbphrase['reported_posts'], "probreport.php");

Then upload the probreport.php provided in the zip to your admincp dir and you're done.

just a language-wise problem: can you actually report a "thread"? It's a post, isnt' it? Or did i miss a vB feature!?

I'm not sure I understand where the problem is. Everything I have said above has referred to posts, not threads.

I guess he means that "has reported this thread on this post" should be "has reported this post on this thread"

Any chance you release this as HTL as well?

I understand now. To correct this I have updated the zip file with a new probreport.php which can be re-uploaded.

I currently don't use HTL. If I decide to use it in the future I will convert my hacks at that time.
