Ban A Member from thier post

[SouthernTn]

Another Idea.. :D


Lets say You wanted to ban a member directly from the View Thread area if they did something. Could it be an option right beside the IP image where an admin can click Ban User and all of the options to do so pop up, so that we admins don't have to log into the control to do that and etc.

Just a quicker way I believe.

[mOdEtWo]

Yes, please. This is usefull for banning spam bots etc.

[Daveh]

This is something I've had for a few months now after we had loads of spam bots.

It moves the specified user to the banned user group, applies a custom title if specified and moves all threads they started to a specified forum, in out case The Gulag.

Did you release it at vb.org?
If so please provide a link ;)

You could create a link that takes you directly to the ban page with their userid passed.


<a href="modcp/banning.php?do=banuser&u=$post[userid]">Ban $post[username]</a>

If you aren't logged in to the admin/modcp then wouldnt it ask you to login then take you to the index page?

Nope it would ask you to login then it should take you directly to that page.

[mOdEtWo]

But I need my moderators to be able to do this operation.

They can... through the admincp... with the correct permissions that is.

Administrators ban from the modcp, just like moderators do ;)

This might be a dumb question (I'm still a newbie:o ), but where would we insert the above code? Thanks.

[Zachery]

Depends on where you want it to be and who you want it to showup to :)

Where would you like it? in the drop down? who should be able to see it?

[doc101]

I'm still amazed at how quickly the vB team replies to messages:eek:

I suppose it should be next to the IP address visible to admins and mods of that particular forum. How do you ensure that only admins/mods can see it? Or does everyone see it, but only admins/mods have access?

[Zachery]

well... there are a few differnt ways, for myself, all of my moderators are in the moderator group, so its not abig issue.

You should be able to find $post[ip] and add it near there.

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7))"><a href="modcp/banning.php?do=banuser&u=$post[userid]">Ban $post[username]</a></if>

[doc101]

thanks....i'll give that a try :)

[Zachery]

oo, thats going to error, make sure that its



in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7))


and not



in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7)

Yes, but it seems only the super mod is able to access the mod cp. Can I get the moderator to access modcp without having the super mod access?

Yes.

[mOdEtWo]

Yes.
How?

[Zachery]

Assign the users as moderators of the forum ;)
AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Forum MAnager > From the dropdown for a forum > Add Moderator :)

I've done that (of course). But the modcp link doesn't show up for a moderator - but it does show up for a super mod.

Strangely enough, the moderator could log in if adding /modcp to the url.

[Zachery]

Its just a link ;)

It was removed in one of the 3.0.x versions because it ran a query on every page for every non supermod or higher user :)
