Topic Under Special Surveillance

[Adriano Faria]

About This File

This plugin will give to users from specific user groups the ability to put topics under special surveillance, by adding a badge (risk of closure) and message in specific places to users get advised that won't be tolerated flaming/discussions on those topics.

Users from selected groups will have access to a new area on ModeratorCP (Topics Under Special Surveillance) to get a list of all topics under special surveillance. From that new area, those users will be able to remove the special surveillance status from topics (same can be done in topic view). Those users has also the abilitiy to receive a notification everytime another user put a topic under special surveillance.

Every action (add or remove special surveillance status) is added on Moderator Log for further check.

@Adriano Faria - the message field would be good if it was an editor rather than plain text and a second thing it would be good if possible to choose the alert css from alert, warn, info etc

Thanks

Yeah, I know... it was at a first moment but it gets misaligned, like that:

Probably there's some CSS trick to avoid it.

I will research for a fix and make it a editor in a further version.

Hi @Adriano Faria, just bought this and seems good. However, I don't get a notification when someone else posts on the topic under surveilance. All settings set correct.

I'm on 4.1.9

Cheers,

Lenny

Is the notification enabled in your account?

[Lenny Warren]

Yes it is, seemed to do it by default.

[Adriano Faria]

Let me make a test.

Btw, just to confirm, did you upload the files ?

[Lenny Warren]

Yes. FTP'ed them... double checked, all files present.

Ok.

[Adriano Faria]

@Lenny Warren, it works fine for me: http://www.screencast.com/t/HZMZ8XfI

Uninstall the plugin, reupload the files and then reinstall it.

[Lenny Warren]

I get the red warning flag on the topic list, which is nice. I also get the red box at the bottom of the post. Just not the notification.

Not sure what to tell you. It works for me, as you can see.

Btw, it is showing the wrong user as the user who set the topic in surveillance. I'll take a look on it.

Send your credentials via PM (ACP & FTP). I'll take a look today later or tomorrow in the morning.

Uninstalled, re-ftp'ed the files, re-installed. Same again,

PM sent

[Adriano Faria]

Received.

[Lenny Warren]

I've just tried something. If I mark as RISK OF CLOSURE, I don't get a notification, only the others who have the permission to do it and follow it?

I presumed that if anyone posts another post after the warning, we'd all get a notification? Or is that not how it works?

When I tried to mark as risk of closure from another account I got this error...

[Adriano Faria]

If you're the user who is setting the topic there's no need to you get notified, since you are the user who is performing the action. It is like when you reply to a topic you follow: you don't get that notification.

I'll see the error tomorrow.

[Lenny Warren]

I see that, but I thought that I would get a notification if anyone else posted in the topic under surveillance? I don't...

[Adriano Faria]

If anyone post? No. The notification is for moderators to get notified if another moderator set a topic.

But it also has a setting to staff auto follow the topic, then you'll get the notofication of new post.

[Lenny Warren]

Yes, set for that, but doesn't work for me...
 

See what you think when you get a look..

[Adriano Faria]

What doesn't wotk? Notification? Auto follow? Hard to understand!

If the NEW POST notification doesn't work, that's not related to my plugin. This is a core feature. My plugin only add you to the follower list. After set a topic, note if you and the others from selected group are following the topic.

Core sends that notification. Not my plugin. 

Anyway, I can't do anything today. I'm on a mobile device. The plugin works, as you saw on my screenvideo. I think you more confused than anything else.

[Lenny Warren]

Notification and auto follow work fine for other things, just not notifications for your plugin. (for me)

So let's go one more time: if YOU set the topic, you won't get the notification from MY plugin. If John Doe set a topic and your group is selected, you will get the notification saying that "John Doe set the topic XXXXXXX under special...".

That's how the plugin was done. That's how it works and it works, as you saw on my video.

Is that your problem? I'm really not following you.

[Lenny Warren]

Yes, that's the problem....

John Doe sets a topic, and my group is selected, I do NOT get the notification.

Sometimes it allows John Doe to set topic, others it gives this error..

but even after that error it still sets to topic, but doesn't add it to my followed posts or give a notification.
