vB Report Manager 2.0 (Admin CP) - Report to Email, PM, Staff Forum as a new Thread!

vB Report Manager 2.1 (Admin CP) - Report to Email, PM, Staff Forum as a new Thread!

By Dr Erwin Loh

What does this hack do?

When a member reports a post, the report goes to:

1) Email (as per normal)
2) PM
3) A new thread in your private Staff Forums
4) In the report, there will be a link to the new thread in your private Staff Forums

Or ANY of the above combination!

The thread title now has the Date/ Time of Report, Originating Forum and Reported Poster!

There is now Admin CP support under vBulletin Options - you can choose to switch on or off any of the notification methods, and set the FORUM ID for the Staff Forum you want the posts to appear in.

All you need to do is run install_vbreport.php and modify 1 file - report.php.

Update Version 2.0

1. Added Admin CP support - choose to switch on and off each notification method. Also specify your Staff Forum ID in Admin CP.

2. Added more info to the THREAD TITLE - now with NAME OF FORUM, USERNAME OF POSTER, AND DATE/ TIME OF REPORT!

Update Version 2.1

1. Fixed email option bug

2. Fixed URL parsing bug

To upgrade, it's easiest just to reinstall this hack over a CLEAN REPORT.PHP file.

Admin CP installer and install instructions in HTML file in ZIP below.
Screenshots attached. :)

Enjoy!

nice one ! once more hack will be installed :D

[Morgalis]

i'd REALLY love to get this feature back on our super busy board

can i ask though, is it possible to have the option to post in one thread rather than a new thread each report as the vb2.x hack did? it is so well used on our site, that 10 reports a day is the minimum and i don't want my staff forums cluttered

thanks so much in advance

I'm getting this error

[Erwin]

Did you do step (b) properly? The userid is not being sent.

I've been running this hack for almost a year now. :) Since vB2. It's worked with no problems since.

[Erwin]

Please be aware, sometimes the code is replaced, sometimes new code is added below, or ABOVE. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY. :)

[MindTrix]

Nice addition Erwin :) Glad to see more hacks comming from you again :) Thanks.!

[tomshawk]

Please be aware, sometimes the code is replaced, sometimes new code is added below, or ABOVE. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY. :)Yes, and just for good measure, I re-did the whole thing again, same problem.


BTW, It does create the post in the forum, but does not send the email and gives this error

[Vile]

Very cool hack. I'll give this a shot :)

[Erwin]

Yes, and just for good measure, I re-did the whole thing again, same problem.

Mmm... I rechecked my code - it's the same as what I've got. You've got RC1 right? Mmm... I don't understand.

Dunno, It's wierd

[tomshawk]

Mmm... I rechecked my code - it's the same as what I've got. You've got RC1 right? Mmm... I don't understand.OK, I got it working

but...

If you report a post in a forum that has a Moderator, it works fine

If you report a post in a forum that does not have a moderator, this is when you get the error.

Though it says in the email

First post updated to Version 1.1.

Sorry!!! Those are my private forums special URLs! This is what happens when I release hacks from my site.

Okay, I've updated the FIRST POST.

To fix the URLs, just COPY AND PASTE the new phrase (ie. repeat the last step).

Sorry again. It should work fine now.

[tomshawk]

Works perfectly now

Thank you very much for your work on this

I look forward to seeing more great hacks from you ;)

Hey MetalGearMaster, to get around that, I made a Supermod the mod of all the Catagories

This would work for an Admin or a regular mod as well, Just make them the mod of the Catagory, then bingo, works like a champ

;)

[Michael2]

I installed it. It was a pain in the ass having to go through and add a bogus mod to each forum but I appreciate the work you did on it.

In the first post it says that the admin will be PMed if no mod exists.... does that even work?

Could someone tell me what to take out to stop the reported post from being emailed and PMed to me? At least the PMs because I find this kind of redundant.

Ok nevermind I figured out what step to take out.

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

is the above code correct?

[shad-gt]

Since I do have moderators for every forum, I am not going to modify this hack. It does work.

Ensure a MODERATOR is assigned to every forum.

Presumably you can add moderators to parent forums, so that this hack works. If I find time I may fix this, but not at the moment. :)


here a fix for your hack. With it all works correct with no moderators set on a forum....

replace:

Update Version 1.2

Thanks to shad-gt - no need to add moderators to every forum - if there is no moderator, the PM will go to an administrator.

The new step is step (d) in the install file, and the code is all in black.

Otherwise, just follow shad-gt's instructions in the post above this one. :)

Congrats on another fine Hack Erwin!

I have a couple questions/modification request to anyone.

1. Is there a way to have the contents of the reported post that is being reported to be included in the staff forum thread that is created?

2. Is it possible to have the username that is being reported to be included in the title of the thread created in the staff forum?

Thanks

[Christine]

Nice hack! *installs*

I am the only person assigned to our comments forum, so I sent a test "report post to mod" from there, yet all admins and mods on the team received the PM, not just me.

Any thoughts on that?

[gmarik]

This, I'm sure, should be in the Gold by default, nice.

[M1th]

I've had a look at the database and it seems that the column 'touserarray' is left empty (ie 'N;') in the database (table pmtext) for a reported post pm. The $tostring var has to return something, but its not, am i correct?

[Princeton]

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the contents of the reported post to be inserted in the newly created thread?

I've been waiting patiently for weeks for VB Gold to be released before installing this, what a great hack it is. :)

I can see this making response times for potential situations much much quicker. :)

[sabret00the]

fantastic hack went without a hitch :D

[Loyalty4Life]

Funny story. Please bear with me. :)

Well, I make all the necessary changes in Erwin's HTML document. I go to report a post on my site, and nothing happens. Well, I go to try to report a post again, and nothing happens... Then it occured to me. I never uploaded the file back to my directory! :p So I upload it, report a post, and nothing happens. Now I'm getting a bit worried. I really wanted to use this hack! It looks great.

Then it hit me, like a brick from the sky. I forgot to save my changed php file. :D I never pressed the save button!

Needless to say, I got a good, hearty laugh at the end!

Is it possible to disable all reporting means EXCEPT for the new thread in a staff forum? I only want the report to go to my staff forum, not to PM or e-mail.

Thank you kindly.

Does this work with gold and if so can someone update the instructions....

Erwin, Would it be possible so add a /switch so we could choose wether (from a admin side) we want the message to goto either PM/THREAD/EMAIL or all?

Yes this would be great... on my vB2.x forums I use another hack that just creates a 'ticket' (i.e. a thread) containing the post that has been reported, its contents and a link to take you directly there. I'm not sure if this hack does all of this, but even a thread in a staff forum (without the PM and e-mail) would be great.

This is a great hack! I would like to have the username of the author of the reported thread be put into the title of the thread that is created in the reported forum.


For example: someone reports a user by the name of joeblow

The new thread that is created in the reported post forum is titled some thing like:
Reported Post: joeblow in XXXX forum

Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks in advance.

[venomx]

Does this work with VB3.0.3?

Any updates on this, Erwin?

[Lionel]

Erwin, looking at your code, what are the chances that you do a quick and dirty for us?

Automatically create a new thread in a set forum at registration? The new member could have a text area in the registration form, giving him the option to input his own words, if empty the the generic welcome will be posted.

That's a different hack altogether - not hard to do at all... maybe when I find time.

I see the problem.

This is what happens when you change your original install file... and the instructions have changed.

The last code change, instead of adding the code below, REPLACE the code.

So, step (e) should REPLACE the code, not add below.

Sorry about this - the install file has been edited. It should work now.

I've deleted the report.php file from your post anyway as that is against our rules. :) But it helped me identify the problem which was my instructions! :)

[Erwin]

I repeat, if you downloaded the old ZIP for version 2 and get an error, in step (e), you REPLACE the old code with new, you do NOT add below (which just creates a repeat of the code). :)

The ZIP has been updated.

[Moparx]

im still getting the error even with the latest update :\

[Erwin]

im still getting the error even with the latest update :\
Post your report.php and I'll take a look. I'll delete it after. It's weird that there's still an error.

[Moparx]

here you go

[Erwin]

I'm missing a closing tag it seems - must have missed it since I coded this off the top of my head.

Above the LAST:

// Erwin's Report Hack

Add another:

}

See if that fixes it.

[Moparx]

still nothing

[Erwin]

I'm missing a closing tag it seems - must have missed it since I coded this off the top of my head.

Above the LAST:

I'm an idiot.

Add 2 }

So above the LAST:

// Erwin's Report Hack

Add 2 closing tags:

}
}

In total there should be 3 closing tags above the comment.

See if that works. :)

[Moparx]

that fixed it.. :)

[Erwin]

that fixed it.. :)
Step (e) was the problem - I told you to find the wrong code, and do the wrong thing to it.

I've fixed the install.html file.

NOTE: If you installed the hack and get an error - what I would do is to start with a FRESH report.php file, and redo the code changes AGAIN.

This is because in step (e) I told you to find the wrong code - I have removed the vbmail function which should not be removed.

So if you downloaded the install.html file BEFORE this post, I suggest doing it again, and then reinstalling with a fresh REPORT.PHP file. No need to run the installer again though or do the phrase changes.

[Erwin]

I repeat, even if adding the 3 closing tags fixes your problem, your report.php may be missing 1 line that ends the vbmail function. :) So I suggest re-downloading the updated install.html and redoing just the code changes to a fresh report.php just to be safe. :)

[rh2004]

Hi it works but when you receive a PM its just blank...

The emails send ok, and the forum posts fine too :squareeyed: :nervous: :nervous:

[Erwin]

Hi it works but when you receive a PM its just blank...

The emails send ok, and the forum posts fine too :squareeyed: :nervous: :nervous:I see the problem - it happens when you switch OFF threads but turn ON PMs.

To fix this,

1.In report.php find:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



CUT it out and MOVE it to ABOVE this:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

That will fix it. You will also get the DATE in the title of your PMs even if you switch Threads off.

I've updated the ZIP file.

[Erwin]

As far as I can tell, the current ZIP file has all the bug fixes. :) Sorry about the bugs - I added the new features quickly and didn't have time to test them out out extensively.

Things should work properly now.

Can you give us "report.php" after edited ?

note : delete Licence Number for security :o

[W4arab]

it's OK Now

thanx a lot :)

Erwin;

I wondered if you would be so kind to show me what to do when I want to use this hack without running the install_vbreport.php file. I don't want to add hacks that alters my database at all, in case I need official support later.

I had it working before I had to upgrade to vB 3.0.5, but you have now updated your original thread with the new system.

Thanks in advance, it's a great hack!

[mholtum]

Sweet, installed

If you modify your report.php that would void official support anyway. :)

In any case, adding new option settings can be done through your Admin CP in debug mode, so it's not like it's doing anything that vB is not set out to do. If I have time I can give you code to bypass the options - it's quite simple.

True, but it is easier to just overwrite that file with a clean one, than unhacking the database. :p

That'd be great! :)

Odd...for some reason it's all working fine, except the 'reported thread' that gets created in the Reported Post forum has no id at the end of the url (the very last part of the thread).

Yes, same thing here. And in the PM too.

[Erwin]

What's your Admin CP setting? As in, what is switched on or off? Does it happen if you switch everything to on? It could be the way I made the conditionals...

All three settings set to yes.....

It shows correctly in the email, just not in the PM or the thread.

Fantastic hack though Erwin.....thought I should add that. I couldn't manage reports without at least the PM option.

I should also add I am now on 3.0.6.

Update Version 2.1

1. Fixed email option bug

2. Fixed URL parsing bug

To upgrade, it's easiest just to reinstall this hack over a CLEAN REPORT.PHP file

Hi there, I just downloaded this, however I cant find where to put the last bit of code, can someone please advise. Thanks. Its the bit about the variable reportbadpost

[Starsurfer]

i have looked over it, and I still have not found it, any help please?

[Erwin]

It's a phrase - search in your phrase manager in Admin CP.

Tahnks, iI have done it and installed it, is there a possible way to send this to the admins asl well?

[Erwin]

By default, this happens only if there are no mods assigned.

[Starsurfer]

how do you change it?

[H2k]

how do you change it?
i have the same problems

[ambumann]

How can I add a function that sends email/PM to the reporting user containing a standard message like:

"vB.org team has received your report and will adress this matter as quickly as possible".

[Erwin]

i have the same problems
It's not a "problem" this is how vB works by default. Most admins won't want to get PMed the report if there's a mod in the forum and the admin is not a mod of that forum.

[gkar]

Great one thanks a lot.

Install :D

The only thing I didn't understand about how you implemented this, fromlooking at the table rows created directly, is why you didn't seem toproperly populate the touserarray field in pmtext table. It turns outthat you are inserting this variable:
'" . addslashes(serialize($tostring)) . "'

however I don't see the variable $tostring created anywhere, unless itcame from a function. I am still looking into this, but I have afeeling this needs to be fixed. Weird thing is, PM did show up :)

I'm not populating it because I'm not using code to check who we are sending it to and checking their PM permissions etc. :)

I installed an early version of this in June of last year on a vB 3.0.1 install.

I recently upgraded to vB 3.0.7.

I would like to upgrade to your 2.1 release.

I haven't moved the old report.php changes into the new report.php file.

Should I treat this as a brand new install?

Replace it with this translation."

Where would I find this Email Body Text Phrases (I can't find it in report.php)? Thanks in advance!

Hello Erwin...

I am looking for a way to have the e-mails that come in to have the RETURN or REPLY TO address be the member who sent it and NOT the site admin. Right now if a mod clicks REPLY to send a note back to the member who reported the post, it is addressed to the admin.

It would also be good to be able to include all the moderators in on the reply to the e-mail. I had this done in VB2, but have no clue how to make it happen in Vb3 which AVS Forum just moved to last Sunday.

Thank you.

[Mysticales]

Question... I have 3.0.9 I installed this mod.. Well.. oddly, I think I am getting parse errors from the adminfunctions_template.php which will come up as:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/forumsq/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php on line 375

The only other mod I installed the same time was a cron job for purging users who dont activate after 10 days.

So was wondering.. does this not work for 3.0.9 or something? I mean.. luckily I can still work in the adminCP. However Forum manager, add new forum give me this error and I dont know if its from this mod somehow or what. =/

Anyone have some advice? =)

Edit: Yeaaaa Only took me 5 hours to figure it out.. you see something was odd about the php file.. it looked like if a 2 year old was learning php.. double quotes all over the place, no correct string or line breaks etc..

Which was odd, since I couldnt see how EITHER mod could cause it.
Tracked it down...
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=59820

That.. if you use the built in file editor.. it will save the php code in such a way that it ruins the design of the php page in question! OUCH! However.. using the upload function to overwrite it using the mod works fine and no issues anymore.. but so much for my idea to use edit to be quicker to work with.. sigh..

Anyways installed. ^^

[Mysticales]

Ok I hate to double post.. but Im lost.. its late and Im tired. 3.0.9 I understand Ill have to make some phase changes, correct? Which will be applied to the reportbad phrase?

Do I have to do extras in the report.php?

Oddly.. eveyrone can report a post.. it will come up with SQL database issues like
Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO pmtextnt(fromuserid, fromusername, title, message, touserarray, iconid, dateline, showsignature)nVALUESnt(30013, 'Mysticales', '07-13-2006 REPORT: Admin/Mod General Chat - Hardrive', 'Mysticales ( mailto:mysticales@darkmystics.com ) has reported this post:

So Im just curous.. what files really need to be edited to work now? Its cute.. it doesnt email us, or PM us.. but it does make a forum thread just nothing else.. starting to feel like I am stupid on this right now. =/

Just would love to get it where it can do all 3, if anyone has a idea.. please let me know. =)

[Mysticales]

Sigh guess no one here uses this really anymore. =(

Just cant figure out why the reporting gives SQL errors, however does make a new thread just fine, but no email or PM..

Thinking of just removing it since I cant get it working right. Whats this debug mode method to remove it from the admin cp anyways? Hows that work? Never did it before.

Edit: Since these forums dont have auto merge..

Ok I got it to work.. finally.. GJ (Installs)

Issue.. Im getting 2 PM/Emails per reported post, however if I remove my name as listed moderator for the forum.. I only get 1..

So maybe I am missing something or not understanding something here.

But also would be nice to know how to uninstall, just in case. But so far.. my mods love it.. so its staying. =)

Also.. why are mods that "arent" assigned to "x" forum getting PMs/Email reports of forums they arent moderators of? But the ones they ARE mods of, they get 2.

[Coldhands]

Could this be made to work with 3.6? How could I do that, and if there are no plans to update this mod, where can I read a little more about how to get this to work with 3.6 on my own?

[ConqSoft]

3.6 has most, if not all, of these features built in.

[Coldhands]

Really, I didn't see anything to this effect. What part of vb options is the PM option in?

[ConqSoft]

Just checked. The PM option isn't built in. E-mailing and/or creating a thread is built in.

[Mysticales]

To be honest.. the PM option on large forums annoyed us more.. cause oddly it would PM every mod.. sometimes do a double PM etc.

Btw.. since I switched to 3.5.4 now.. this is still stuck in my adminCP, I have never uninstalled things on vB before.. what steps would I go to remove things from admincp?

[ragintajin]
