Name: Strike System

Funded by: UltimateDBZ

Description: Instead of Report a Post, admins/moderators can Strike other users.

Link: ZIP File

Demo: http://www.lkworld.com

Requirements: UBB™ 6.3.1

Number of Downloads: [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/lk/num.php?s=strike.zip[/img]

Notes: Many features aren't even tested (updates to lib_misc, ultimatebb). Let your moderators know that the following reasons will make them go to report a post page instead of strike:

1. They have to use it in the forum they moderate.
2. They can't strike other moderators/administrators.
3. A user can't get more than one strike on the same day. Prevents moderators from trying to ban a user because of personal reasons.

Thanks a bunch LK

I have just updated ultimatebb.cgi and ubb_lib_misc.cgi to fix a bug and change some functionality, the 4 people that downloaded the hack so far - please rehack them. (I bet nobody installed it yet though )

I'm not sure I understand. Is it like 3 strikes and you are out? Does it temporarily ban a user or do they have to be manually unbanned for reinstatement? I think the description is lacking a few details. :rolleyes:

I forgot to link to the page with the explanations (of most features) http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003300

error masseage
pleas help me public_strike is not in your zip file

Am I a jerk or what :rolleyes:

Updated, thanks

LK pleas check your PM

ZIP file updated, I forgot to add a step (which I already had in my files, but totally forgot about it ), thanks wwb... Rehack ultimatebb.cgi.

Rhetorical question?

Anyway, thanks for this LK... Looks like it's that time of the year again, when all of LK's hacks are being released...

Very interesting hack. If it works as planned then it should be pretty damn amazing. A definate time saver for sure. Great work LK. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks

I got it hacked now. so far so good, but I have a couple of questions.

1. how long does the temp ban last? couldn't there be a box there where I could specify the length in days?

2. shouldn't it say 'struck a user' instead of 'stroke a user'? lol It just sounds a bit funny. I don't really wanna stroke any of my users.

1. there already is, in CP, the same amount of time as a strike when it gets removed.

2. you're right, but it's a wordlet

cool. I thought maybe that was it, but then I thought, well, what if.. say a user gets a strike on day 1 and then another some days later and then the 3rd one on day 29 of the 1st strike wearing off.. then wouldn't that person only face a 1 day ban?

[sarcasm] it probably isn't really important seeings that all of my members behave well all the time. [/sarcasm]

btw, I was just picking about the stroke thing. I fixed it in the wordlets before I posted that.

Nice work LK, good to see this released.

Great - this is what I was talking about here http://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003168 some days ago

It is working on my 6.3.1.1 boards, I will reply back probably monday once I strike the test account 3 times for a ban.

Once I strike a person it is not allowing the same admin to strike that person again, even after several days later.

It will be changed in v6.4 version

Would the fix also work with v6.3 boards?

Doubtful I would upgrade to break the hacks I already have.

I do not seem to have all the files as mentioned within the ZIP file, has the instuctions been written wrong?

I have files:

cp_vars_strike
cp_strike
vars_strike
public_strike
strike
---------------------
---------------------

Instructions say:

Upload:
=======
ubb_strike.cgi - cgi-bin
vars_strike.cgi - variables (usually cgi-bin)
cp_vars_strike.pl - noncgi/Templates

***********************

Can some one clarify? I would like to try this hack if possible,

Regards,

NGATS

You mean that you have more files than the instructions imply... LK just forgot to update the instructions with the new files he added since release. You should be fine, just putting the .cgi files in your cgi-bin folder and the .pl files in your templates folder.

Basically yes... ubb_strike.cgi -> cp_strike.cgi, and I added public_strike.pl.

It's working like a champ, and within the first 3 or 4 days of use, ate 1 troll...

I have a question though: Is it possible to eliminate the BOLD text in the Strike Logs..? Frankly, it's annoying as hell to have to read a page full of BOLD text.

LK, are you porting this to 6.4?

Was this ever fixed in 6.3 so you could strike the same person more than once and get to your designated limit to ban?

Hey LK, Funny thing I actually need help.
[code][/code]

I received this error...

Help!?!?!?!?!?

Software error:
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at ultimatebb.cgi line 564.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@djsourceonline.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Strike log shows nothing despite the fact I made a strike in a forum I moderate

help!

Also, the test violator does not receive an email either...any reason why?

Wow this is one hack that is a must :-)

Anyone hacked this into 6.3 ? Does it work? i cant find any of the stuff that i need to replace and stuff in the ubb_lib_misc.cgi whats the deal?

I have tried to hack this a couple of times but with no luck. I can do all of the steps to strike a person, but it does not email the offender, nor does it enter into the stike log.

Help!

I have it running on 6.5 (if thats anything big), I can tell you that it works perfectly with the instructions there, perhaps try to roll it back from the 6.5 version?

Darn looks like i have to upgrade if i am going to use this.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed and runs under 6.3 ?

Thank You.

6.3.1.2 runs like a champ for me, other than writing the Strike Logs in all bold text.

Thanks ive installed it, seems to work ok. I didnt like the way it displays the logs so I changed it a little, when I get more time Im going to add pagination so you dont just get all the log entries on one page.

I was wondering how I could do this.

At my board, we've got ~8 admins, only 2 of which have cp access. I've been trying to figure out someway Admins could temporarily ban a member if he's acting up too much. What I've got planned is if 2 admins agree a person should be temporarily banned, they can each strike the user, and he will be banned.
I've already made it so only admins can strike. How could I set it so a member can be stricken more than once, just not by the same person?

Also, BassTeQ, I love the way that looks compared to the default, is there anyway you could post what you changed to get that?

ok to do that, simply open up cp_vars_strike.pl

find this :

awesome, it even links to the post instead of having that blocky text

Is there anyway we could delete strikes via the cp, in case a mod struck a person and an admin didn't agree with it?

Ill see what I can do, shouldnt be too hard to add a delete feature. Ill try do it sometime next week.

Do it now dammit!

BassTeQ:

Your MOD works wonders, but I too have one very minor suggestion...

Would it be at all possible to make just the REASON section of the log in bold..? This would allow for an instant quick-check as to why the person was stricken in the first place. I looked everywhere, but couldn't figure out what or where to hack.

Yep easy, ill do that at the same time!

To make the Reason line bold.

Open cp_vars_strike.pl

find :

Perfect!

so wait. IT uses's the report post icon to strike someone? Is there a way to have a seperate ICON right next to "report post" that says STRIKE... and when clicked it'll strike?

Well it'll only go to the strike page if you're a mod of that forum. It'll go the the normal report page for a member

right, but i want members to know that theirs a strike system on the board...and that they can be striked for posts that are inappropriate. So if that means having a strike icon, i think it would be better, so that they know

Just an idea.

Thanx for the quick response!

Or is there a way to list the strikes a user has under her name in every post? That would be cool...

hmmm

it says that the user and admin are supposed to get a copy of the strike penalty...but i never get a copy of it..

it's in the strike log... in the cp.
