Moderator Essentials [Paid] 1.14.5

[Daniel Hood]

I'm wondering if I have a conflicting addon because I'm having a few odd issues.

When I click discuss in the Mod Log it returns this message

"Please enter a valid message."

I just tested on xenmods with the latest version of moderator essentials and XenForo and it worked fine. I'm guessing it is a conflict. Could I get a list of add-ons you have installed? Another possibility is that it's not bypassing a minimum length setting or something. I'll look into that as well.

Threads are not being started in the node that I selected for Action Discussion. Also, maybe I'm just blind but I can't seem to find anywhere to initiate thread notes.

Did you configure all the options? It should be a tab on the thread view, there's now two tabs (one with the thread title to view the main thread, then a thread notes tab which generates another thread for notes).

Here are my addons


I tried disabling Warn Thread as it's a similar function but that doesn't seem to be the conflict.

I have all the options and permissions set. I just double checked them all.

@TeflonDon, I think I figured out the issue. I'm not entirely sure how it's occurring though. It seems as if you are attempting to start a discussion based on a log_id that doesn't exist (or at least isn't being passed). It seems odd you'd be the only one with this problem though. I should be sending an error message in situations like this though, so thank you for pointing that out. Although I don't actually have a solution for you, yet.

Still no luck

Still no luck

Does it say invalid message or does it error saying something else?

"Please enter a valid message."

 

[Daniel Hood]

Do you have anything forcing a minimum post length?

 

[TeflonDon]

Do you have anything forcing a minimum post length?

Nope. I just turned off a bunch of addons that might have an effect on posting and still got the error.

Edit: I did rebuild a brand new default style and I can now see the Thread Notes. Must be something I modified that's preventing the template modification from working. I can debug that. Didn't change anything with the "discuss" issue.

@Daniel Hood I think it's related to the permissions of the forum you select for either the discussion or thread notes. I changed the forum to a public forum rather than one of my private mod forums and the error changed. It now says this

• Please enter a value using 100 characters or fewer.
• Please enter a valid message.

Also, the thread notes now generated a new thread when using that option. It wasn't doing that previously when I had a different forum selected.

Can you ban through member card/user profile?

 

[Daniel Hood]

Yes.




(I erased the name to avoid giving anyone attention. It's prepopulated with whoevers profile/member card you were viewing.)

Very interested in this Mod, but think a HUGE improvement would be when deleting a thread, providing Moderators with the option to send "Stock" Private Messages to the thread/post creator. I.e in addition to the "Notify user" area, displaying a dropdown with messages created in the admin cp. When selected it will sent the user a PM on deletion.

Messages could be added, and customized in the AdminCP, but think of something along the lines:

"(Username),

Your thread has been deleted XXX.

etc. "

I send these types of messages constantly and think this should be an amazing Mod feature.

I'm using your latest version and have no idea where to do this "ModEss - Can Ip Search"
With that permission, I see no difference and no where to search by IP ?

Everytime you click "thread notes":

It automatically makes a thread for it, even if you don't ACTUALLY make a thread note reply.
This means that staff who simply click the "thread notes" button accidentally/curiously literally spam up the "Thread Notes Node" because they make a pointless new empty thread.

Please fix this so that only thread notes that have a "REPLY" posted to them actually go through and make a thread in the "Thread Notes Node".

This would be extremely helpful, as the way it currently works is quite spammy and flawed.

This was a bug, thanks for pointing it out. I'll release a new patched version tomorrow. In the mean time you can update /library/ModEss/ControllerHelper/Modess.php line 33 change

if (!$visitor->hasPermission('general', 'modess_ipSearch'))

to

if (!$visitor->hasPermission('general', 'modess_IpSearch'))

(lowercase i to uppercase i).

This behavior is unlikely to change. Though it has been requested by a few people to make a visual distinction in the thread notes tab based on if there's already a notes thread attached to it or not. I'm likely to do that.
