I noticed this feature on a vBulletin forum, and I thought would be handy to have on my Snitz forum.
In short, this mod allows members to ignore posts made by other members. They cannot ignore moderators, administrators, or themselves.
For the latest updates, check the end of this post
The mod is controlled from the Admin Options (Feature Configuration - Topic Features), so the admin can turn it on / off as needed. If turned off, all ignored posts will appear as normal.
This mod works on access, mysql, and mssql.
An ignored post
Where a member adds someone to her ignorelist

| what happens when someone that is not ignoring a user, uses the quote feature. does this display the text to a person that was ignoring the person that was quoted? (hope that did not sound too confusing) |

Nope, it didn't .
If an un-ignored member quotes text from an ignored user will show up. I didn't think about that when I made the mod. The mod only searches for posts made by the ignored member, not the text written by them. Im not sure if it would be possible to make it parse out text written by ignored members without making it too resource-intensive. Or is it? |

Masterao,
This mod seems awesome! Just what I need!
Before I install, how much have you tested it? |

Thanks, Astralis.
I have tested it on users who have posted a topic (first post) and replies, in open and allowed members (hidden) forums. Topics tested have consisted of one post (topic) only, and of several posts from various users (ignored and un-ignored).
I have only tested this on access, as Im not able to test it on mysql or mssql at the moment. |

You're welcome, Ryan.
Carefree, I've answered your email.
Carefree came with the idea of putting a link for adding users to the ignore list (next to the profile icon and email).
I considered this when I made the mod, but I choose to not use that approach as that made it too simple for a member to ignore others, IMO. Ignoring others should be a last resort, not something as simple as emailing / PM:ing a member. Or should a member be able to add another member directly from topic.asp? |

For some reason, once I add someone onto my ignore list, I can still see all their posts. I'm logged in as a normal user.
What did I do wrong? |

Astralis, when you have added a member to the Ignore list, you should see two links instead of the actual post by that member. The second link is Un-Ignore User.
Make sure that you added the code in the right place in topic.asp, making sure to separate the topic-part from the replies part.
This sounds more like an implementation problem, and if you don't find the errant code, post a link to a text-version of your topic.asp in the Help: MOD Implementation forum, and I'll help you there instead. |

Hi masterao,
Good MOD idea
I have tested it on a MySql database and everything works well until you try to [Un-ignore] a member when this error throws up:
quote:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e09'
[TCX][MyODBC]You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'I where I.I_MEMBERID = 2 AND I.I_IGNOREID = 4' at line 1
/classifieds/pop_ignorelist.asp, line 148
Lines 145-148 in that file read:
quote:
if boolIgnore = True then '# Member exists on the ignorelist, so we delete it.
strSql = "DELETE FROM " & strTablePrefix & "IGNORE_POSTS I where I.I_MEMBERID = " & memberID & _
" AND I.I_IGNOREID = " & intIgnoreID
my_conn.Execute strSql
Any ideas anyone?

Several problems for me on an MS-SQL database, Jan -
It seems ok, until you click on either of the links in an ignored member's blanked out post.
Clicking on "View Post" resulted in:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01c2'
Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment: 'getStar_Level'
/messageboard/pop_viewpost.asp, line 209
Clicking on "Unignore User" resulted in:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'I'.
/messageboard/pop_ignorelist.asp, line 148
Then, I noticed it doesn't work on multiple page topics - past the first page, anyway.
Will have to uninstall this one for the time being.
Edit ----> Forgot I could shut it off in Admin Options, so I didn't need to uninstall. Shutting it off made all ok. If you get to a MS-SQL db & can figure this out, I'll try 'er again! I'll be happy to try out any changes you propose for you.

Does MySQL support when you abbreviate the table names within the SQL ?
Webbo, you could try this while masterao is checking other stuff (lines 145-148) :
if boolIgnore = True then '# Member exists on the ignorelist, so we delete it.
strSql = "DELETE FROM " & strTablePrefix & "IGNORE_POSTS where I_MEMBERID = " & memberID & _
" AND I_IGNOREID = " & intIgnoreID
my_conn.Execute strSql
It's just a wild guess by me looking at the error, but I've never used MySQL. |

Hi Masterao,
It actually works now and I never modified the code. It seems that after I logged out and logged back in it took effect. Before I logged out refreshing didn't never changed anything. Who knows if that's what it is. But, anyhow, it works and I think this is one of the best mods to come around in a while. Once you get it ready for the SQL DB versions, this should be standard for the next version. Great job! |
