Ok.  This one is a new reply here.

Bug report:  I found that vReportBoard apparently keeps track of the topic number a report is done to.  Therefore if the same post is reported it goes to the original report topic.  However there is a bug with that.  If the original topic report is deleted then the post report will end up attaching to a non-existent topic.  I did manage to reproduce this myself.

I just found out about the same thing.

I use a board where deleted posts go to wait for me to check them,
and just noticed that if someone reports a post, that has already been reported, solved and the orig. report deleted - then the new report ends up with the deleted old one to the recycle -board.

Didn't try though, what would happen if the deleted old report would not be there anyore...

Was I clear enough? I'm a bit tired, sorry...

Ok, tried to delete the original report and make a new one of the same thing,
and the post got lost. Only way to find it is to use the "Find and repair errors" -tool in admin area. Any way to fix this?

Hi,

First of all, THANKS. Really big THANKS for such a useful mod like this

Secondly, a suggestion: I'd like to be able remove the [ reported ] sign just on SOME of the reported posts (just those I choose)

This is why: There are several reasons why a post may be reported in my forum. One of them is because the user that reads it thinks it's violent, sexually explicit, rude, and so on and so forth. For that purposes the mod is just great because it visually warns my users of the reported posts. Red means it has not been reviewed by mods yet and green means it has been approved my mods but, even though, SOME users may still find that content innapropiate. Because the post is marked as "possible innapropiate" we avoid many conflicts. The mod works just great for that. We have a new post in a mods board, we open a poll and discuss its content.

But there are other reasons such as having written in caps, in the wrong board, repeated the same topic several times... Once those posts have been marked as "reported" there is no way of removing that label. Or at least I have not been able to find the way (and I have read one by one the 16 pages of this thread) That's what I would like to do. To remove the mark [ reported ] in those posts in which mods have taken part and there is no longer need to warn the readers about anything wrong.  I would even be willing to pay for that.

Anyway, thanks a lot for such a great mod

Well... I think what I need should be quite easy to do. All reported messages are stored in the table smf_log_reports and that table only stores ID_REPORT, ID_MSG, ID_TOPIC and   solved. It should be easy to add a button next to the "Solved / Unsolved" for "Deleting report". It would look for ID_MSG and delete it from table smf_log_reports.

I would love to do it myself, but I'm not a coder. I manage somehow to surf the code and "guess" what this or that does, but I'm not able to do it by myself. Any help?

Thanks in advance

I haven't tested it actually, but I thought there was a group permission that set the visibility for those marks...

Thanks for the reply, but the idea is not to show the mark just to certain group of people but to choose WHICH of the marked posts should be visible to those very same groups.

Thanks anyway for the remark

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Ok, misunderstood what you wanted, sorry I couldn't help.

EDIT: Wouldn't the Solved-label do the trick though? It tell's a post has been reported, and dealt with - and nothing wrong anymore.

I have no problem with the mod board, where all the reported posts are stored. The problem is with the open forum. Whenever a user reports a post the mark [ reported ] appears on it. That mark is red when it has not been reviewed/solved and green once mods have done their jobs. What I want is to be able so supress that mark ONLY in certain posts. Not all of them. For instance. A user reports a post that includes an innapropiate image/video. Then a mod does his job and deletes that content. After that there is no sense for me to have that post marked as [ reported ] The mods know when a post have been reviewed with the blu icon on the mod board. I hope to have got my meaning across. Thanks anyway for the suggesions!

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Yep, now I understand what you mean - don't know how to do it though.. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you with that.

Is this still being updates?

If so is there a rough ETA on the next version?

I would hate to see a great mod die

[JoshieDaMan]

I am using a custom template. I need to figure where to put [reported] link for it to be solved as in quick-solve action. Any one know?

[dillon]

Are there any instructions on using this mod?  Sorry, I'm a noob.  Thanks

[dillon]

I have this mod installed and it's awesome.  I'm looking though for something that would allow the member who is reporting the post, to choose to either publicly do the report (through the topic) or so send it directly to the admin via pm.

Thanks

I've just installed this mod and it seems flawless. A couple of our themes lack the solve/unsolve button for staff, but the reporting function is fine. I'll sort the buttons at some point but in the meantime the staff just have to use one of the other themes if actually ticking off a post. No problem.

ETA: Actually let's do it. I want to install and link up a solve/unsolve button for the Helios and Mesh themes.
I'll dig out whatever files people want to see, but I haven't done this sort of thing before so I'd appreciate some help.
I have already made the button for Helios and Mesh uses text rather than an image.
Ijust need to know how to sort them so they're functioning.
Thanks.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

You could just dig the modifications from the package with a package parser,
and apply the changes to your custom themes.

Would ofcourse mean coming up with suitable images for buttons as well.

And I have to point out, the mod is not flawless. If a report made from one topic is deleted, then all other reports from the same topic will get lost.... *sorry* This has been pointed out earlier in here, but I haven't noticed anyone coming up with a fix to this...

[Antechinus]

Yup, I already have the image I need. Made it this afternoon.
I also know about not deleting the original report. I've put that in the staff instructions.
As long as nobody does anything silly it should be fine.

Ok, package parser then.

[Antechinus]

Eh? It says it sent a file but I can't find it anywhere. Where is it supposed to send them?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Ok... The parser doesn't seem to show the edits for this package...
You'll just have to try and fish the changes from the install.xml

You can just open it with wordpad if you want...

[Antechinus]

Righty o. I did have a look at it earlier with Notepad but it looked like Swahili so I was hoping for an easy option. I'll go have another look tomorrow. Getting a bit late here now. Thanks. 

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Notepad no good for that, really should try wordpad.
