Report to moderator sub

[Fizzy]

Hi guys,

Due to popular demand from my Gmods I am writing the following:

Upon "report to moderator" the forums sends an Email but also adds a flag to alert the Gmods live on the board in realtime.

Here's my logic process:

In reporttomoderator2, add an insertion to a new table entitled smf_rtm, inserting message number, name of reporting member and an "alert_rtm" boolean.

From there, in index.php add an additional check for a count in alert_rtm>0 and then create a table of reported threads with the ability to remove thread messages from alert_rtm list.

The reason for posting this? I would love to hear any expansions, suggestions or "Oi you don wanna do dat" type comments from my trusted peers.

Sugestion, criticisms or observations are very welcome

An easier solution may be to just send them an PM along with the email?  Maybe put a condition in that checks only those that have been active in the last X minutes.

That's a very interesting thought Mike.

I've never really looked in to the PM part of the files before and yours may be a better solution. I know that the Global Moderators have email notification on PM's switched on, so maybe a solution to stop duplication might be to replace the sendmail function with a PM function?

Well I was thinking more of just putting it into the table yourself instead of calling the PM routine.  Then you wouldn't have to worry about the email notification on PMs.

Sounds like a great mod.  Good luck with it .
