Boonex Chat Bans

Currently in the current version of A/V Chat, moderators can either kick or ban.  Kick simply kicks the user and they can instantly rejoin the room.  Ban, bans the user completely until admin unbans the user.

Now because my programming skills are somewhat fumble in the dark...... this is what I want to be able to do.... but its putting it into code that I struggle...

What I want to do is edit the ban action to put in the current time the ban happened

Ban=Time&Date

When a user logs into chat, it automatically checks to see if the user is banned and if they are they are refused entry and told to contact admin.

What I want to do is to get it to check the current date and compare to the ban date.... and if an hour has passed remove the ban

If Ban = Ban+1 hour then Ban = False (allow in chat)

else Ban = True (do not allow in chat)

Can anyone help put this into code........ (willing to pay)

Thanks in advance

If you're willing to pay, you may want to instead create a post in the jobs section.

Not everything belongs in the job section.  This is really something that needs to be standard.... along with a lot of other things like word filters, and flood control.  A temporary ban should be added, with the ban time a setting in the flash chat settings.

I totally agree HL these should be standard features but reading some of your posts I am not holding out much hope of that ever happening which is a shame especially when the A/V chat app isnt bad.

If someone from BoonEx reads this and agrees with us, please can you try and include these in the 7.1 release.

Thanks

I wrote this ticket 14 months ago: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1506

I'll add additional ban options to it.  In the ticket, I only asked for flood control, and maximum message length settings, and a word filter.  Boonex reached a point around the time I entered the ticket, where everything got shoveled onto the '7.1 pile'  Who knows if this will ever get done.

Um, that 'pile' is more like a 'hill' now. I'm wondering when it will make it to the 'mountain' classification
