Mod Ported: Approve Posts mod

Corporal Joined: Oct 22, 2006 Posts: 59

Hi,

I've just finished porting the PHPBB "Approve Posts" mod to Nuke 7.x (dev done on 7.6).

This mod allows you to specify forums, topics and users to place on moderation (ie: to have their posts approved by a moderator before being publicly viewable). You can moderate new posts, replies and edits. Other options include notification of moderators when a post needs approval and notification of users when their post is approved. You can see the original PHPBB port here.

Use at your own risk and test it first please, but you are entitled to a full refund of the price you paid for it Smile

Download the Nuke port here

Not sure where to put this post or if it should be an announcement - moderators please move or make a news item as appropriate. Thanks!

Thank you very much by the work. It took to time looking for a MOD of this type to moderate some conflicting users. He is very interesting and I am going to prove if it works.

very nice and easy to install mod, work 99.9%, except when the mod/admin receives a PM telling him there is a topic they need to approve of, the linking system is wrong, it seems alot like the regular linking to what phpbb has, and not to what bbtonuke forums use, can you help me on that? i think that the problem is in the posting.php file where the code to send the link out is...

thanks

Oh, yes, I noticed that too. I'll fix it tonight and post a fix for it in this thread.

Right, I know what the fix is but it's going to take me more time than I have right now to rewrite the code block.

I'll do it sometime over christmas and re-release the mod.

But in the meantime, if you're handy with PHP, open the Install-Nuke.txt included in the zip and find:

// Begin Aprove_Mod Block : 5

in there you'll see the code that generates the emails and private messages.

To specifically, quick-hack fix the moderator pm notification find:

Code:

$privmsg_message = $lang['approve_notify_link'] . "\n" . $server_protocol . $server_name . $server_port . $script_name . '?'. POST_POST_URL . '=' . $post_id . '#' . $post_id;

and change it to:

Code:

$privmsg_message = 'http://www.YOURSITE.COM/modules.php?modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p='.$post_id;

obviously changing the domain to your own website.

And of course this only changes the installation mod file, you'll need to make this mod to your forum code.

I'll post a full fix shortly, if you don't understand what I'm on about.

as a quick fix it works fine, looking forward to the full fix of the linking, also noticed that in the admin panel, there are some bad links when trying to add a user to moderate, or viewing there profile in the admin panel of this mod.

thanks...
