One thing vb should have!

Have you ever tried to pull up a list of user x's posted visitor messages? I am quite sure vbulletin does not have this. I cant believe it doesnt, I know theres that page in the usercp but shouldnt we be able to read all posted visitor messages by a user without the need to filter through others posted visitor messages?

Vbulletin seems to have almost everything but this is something they have seemingly missed and we need!

 

are you talking about: AdminAddict Forum - Conversation Between Partyon and Ak Worm

 

I think he means "view a list of all Visitor Messages posted by user". There is no [easy] way to do this, that I know of.

What you linked to is limited to visitor messages posted only on one other member's profile.

 

I'm actually putting together a better 'stats' plugin for vb (messages posted in X days by users, referrals in X days, broken down by user, more), and this might be something I add in there.

I'll see how complicated this is to add in there.

 

I'd have to hack my way through it, and I couldn't verify that it would be up to vBulletin's coding standards, but it really shouldn't be that difficult...:shrug:

 

I would really like to see this implemented, for example if someone was harrassing someone via visitor messaging it would be easy to see what messages have been said without the noise of the other parts conversation or anyone elses.

 

I am very very very interested! :p

Are better stat functions something vb 4 is likely to provide? Regardless, it could be quite a few months before vb 4 is up on my forum(s,) and a program such as you describe might be good to have in the meantime. Feel free to pm me if you get it ready, I may not notice a post since I don't see nearly all AA's posts.

 

Very simple guys.

hook location: moderation_visitor_messages_start

PHP:

$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'u', TYPE_UINT);

hook location: moderation_visitor_messages_query

PHP:

if ($vbulletin->GPC['u'])
$hook_query_where = 'AND visitormessage.postuserid = '.$vbulletin->GPC['u'] ;

Then just add "&u=x" to the end of the url where x is the userid you wish to view the messages from.

 

thanks lynne

 

Thanks! What is the URL we add "&u=x" to?

 

Oh, just when you are on the new visitor messages list in the usercp - moderation.php?do=viewvms&type=new&u=x

 

Awesome, gonna add a link up too so I can just add the userid in when needed

Thanks very much for this!

 

There is a little problem, when you click to go to the next page it doesnt go to the correct page:

moderation.php?do=viewvms&type=new&page=2

I think it needs to be this to get onto the next page grrr!

moderation.php?do=viewvms&type=new&u=X&page=2

 

You could add another plugin at moderation_visitor_messages_complete:

PHP:

if ($vbulletin->GPC['u'])
{
$pagenavbits[] = 'u='.$vbulletin->GPC['u'];
}

$pagenavurl = 'moderation.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . implode('&', $pagenavbits);
$pagenav = construct_page_nav($pagenumber, $perpage, $messagetotal, $pagenavurl);

And that will help carry the url. However, I just noticed that if you use the search at the bottom, the userid doesn't get passed unless you modify the form (template - moderation_filter). So, you can add an input field into that form to set u and carry it.

(I'm not actually using this, so I've never looked into all the specifics of it.)

 

I would like to see a better downloads section. The Downloads II modification is good, but I would like to see something better. Something where I could build a forum, and compete with sites like filefront.

 

I decided to just throw this up as a mod at vb.org - View all of a user's Visitor Messages - vBulletin.org Forum It's got the template edits to allow you to input the userid in the form at the bottom of the page.

 

Awesome! Thanks very much.
