[TaylorJ] Probations 1.0.0 Beta 3

Taylor J · Aug 26, 2025

Taylor J submitted a new resource:

[TaylorJ] Probations - Place users on probation with a read only experience

[TaylorJ] Probations

Description
This addon will allow you to place users on a read only leave from your site, as if they were banned but still have the ability to read posts and visit the site.

Sometimes a full on ban isn't what is needed and a user just needs to be quiet for a few hours/days. Idea taken from SomethingAwful.

Awesome idea. Thank you for making this.

Couple things I noticed: /probation page is returning 404.
Can you add the probation link to the moderator menu?

Hi, i get this error: XF\Db\Exception: MySQL statement prepare error [1146]: Table '**********.xf_taylorj_user_probations' doesn't exist in src/XF/Db/AbstractStatement.php at line 230

Wow! What an excellent idea. There have been a lot of times when this would have been more appropriate than a ban.

What action did you take when this error happened?

I'm about to put out Beta 2 and it removes that table and some others and consolidates them into one so that should fix any issues you were having to be fair.

Taylor J updated [TaylorJ] Probations with a new update entry:

1.0.0 Beta 2

Added a view for the probations route (functions like the reports pages)

Added a link to the probations page in the staff bar in the moderator drop down

Changed the canViewProbation permission to the moderator permission set for the addon

Cron entry now runs every minute to handle cases of a person being put on probation at any time that was after the beginning of an hour but before the next new hour

Removed the xf_taylorj_user_probations_active table and consolidated...

I was getting this error when I clicked the "Place on probation" button and penalized the user. I installed the latest update, and unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error.

Your db table wasn't created for some reason. Will have a hotfix out for you tonight.

The problem is fixed, thank you. However, when I try it, I'm only blocked from opening threads. Things like posting to threads and posting to profiles are enabled. Is this normal?

Posting to profiles hasn't been touched as of yet but very good call out for that as that should probably also be disabled.

For threads you shouldn't be able to post at all as a reply. How are you able to post when seeing this? Is the editor still appearing for you?

For example, when I start a thread, the button is inactive and says You don't have permission. However, when I write a message, the editor appears and I can write a message.

Does it let you actually post the message? Or do you get an permission error after that?

I would maybe try checking to make sure all of the addons template modifications are turned on.
