Why you don't use $lang entrys for your $auth? If you want it in the moddb, it is required!

Code: Select all

$phpbb_users = $table_prefix."users";
$phpbb_banlist = $table_prefix."banlist";
$phpbb_sessions = $table_prefix."sessions";

Thats the same.
You must use USERS_TABLE BANLIST_TABLE and SESSIONS_TABLE.

Code: Select all

if($user_level == 1 OR $user_level == 2) {

What if my admin user_level is three?
I can't see this page! Use MOD and ADMIN instead.
ANd why you don't use the template featere of phpbb?
Every page must use it.
You must also use long_arrays(NO $_POST but $HTTP_POST_VARS).
And you must also use dbal($db class), for your sql querys. ANd message_die(), for your error handling. And if I cannot read english? Where must I translated this? Not in the lang_files Also you must use the emailer class, that handle the mail

Wow, there, paul! Calm down. All the things you said were correct, and he needs to do each and every one of the things stated above, but you jsut got a little exited! Calm down!

And nice idea for a MOD.

I'm not sure if it's because you didn't create some default vanilla Ban settings, but when I try to use this with paul999's Extended Ban Manager the banned user logs in and is told they are banned but then their ban is removed because you didn't put in something. If I ban them and then look in the Ban Manager it says "This ban is will be never been passed." under the time column. If it has more to do with the EBM could you possibly offer an addon that would allow it to work. Also you should add the search for username popup that's in the user management.

Thats true, becuase my ban manager, use e new field, for the time. If that is 0 or a empty field, the ban will never been passed.

One more thing, the default ADMIN(user_id=2) should be able to ban both admins and mods in extreme situations.

Thanks all for suggestions. The purpose of the MOD is to enable forum Moderators to ban user with out Admin privilege. One of my forum moderators asked this facility, so he can control spam on the forum. I want a solution other than giving him Admin privilege. I go through all MOD's in MOD DB, but can't find any one that can do this.

The MOD is working fine on my forum. I will not modify as per phpBB MOD's standard, so i will have my first real phpBB MOD.

paul999, i have modifed the script with phpBB constants. I have to find out how to use mail function and replace the mysql functions.

Do i need to use phpBB template for very simple page like this to be valid mod ? Since this is small page, it will load much faster, may be in a small popup window.

Shortly i will post modified version of this MOD, all your suggestions highly appreciated.

[bonelifer]

A popup would probably be best. You should take a look at the popup for the name search for PM's. That would show you the minimum styling needed by this mod as a popup. If you don't go with a popup the reason for using styling is congruent look throughout the forum and a way to get back to the forum, as it stands if you don't specifically open it in a new window you can't easily get back to where you were.

Any progress?

Is this mod still in development?

[TeddyKGB]

Has anyone tired this mod? Does it work or do we know of a working mod for this?

[pengunio]

i installed it fine but how does it work. Is there a button to ban or is it in mod cp or what?

Hello,

We see that you've posted your MOD's contents in your topic starter. Please instead offer your MOD as a textfile download (uploading your MOD's install textfile to a server and giving a direct link, with no registration restrictions), rather than posting the MOD's contents in your post, as you have done.

Thank you for your cooperation,
The phpBB MOD Team

I too would like to know if anyone has used this & how it works.

I already have ban control on my site, but would like to give mods the permission to ban users...hopefully they will work togerther without problems.
