Module for logging moderator actions

This is a module to track actions taken by moderators in a logfile.

The module is now developed to work with Phorum 5.1. Since this is called 'unstable' I'll continue to test my changes with the latest available stable version.

Current Version: 2.2

Last Changes
- Added compatibility code 5.1 <-> 5.0
- The contents of the logfile are now displayed on the settings page, if they are available.

(Sample Logfile)

Download: modaction_log_5_0_18a-2_2.zip

Awsome, I'll have to give it a try. I've been beating my head over this with a couple of my moderators. Nothing I can prove but this should make it so I can get there permissions removed.

New version, look in the first post.

Nice work there, Tiorthan! Maybe you should consider an option to include the
message body as well. At least for the deleted messages. For those it might be interesting to see why a moderator has deleted them.

Possiable a bug

I changed the path I wanted it to log to and when I tried to change it again it bugged out and refuse to let me change to anything else ..


It keep saying at the top

"/ is no valid directory."

No matter what I set it or if I use the full path of my website directory still says the same thing ..

That is a bug indeed. I'll fix this.

Bugfix and new version, see the first post.

I downloaded the next version and installed it

set it to {CACHE_DIR}/logfilename.log and it show the full correct path to where i want the log to be recorded at.

But when I went to delete a thread I get this error with this module enabled


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: strip_body() in /home/xxxx/xxxx/findmall.com/xxxx/xxxx/mods/modaction_log/modaction_log.php on line 90


(I xxxx'ed out my real path)




So I create a blank log file and chmodded giving it a write perrmison to make sure and still the same error as above.


So another bug? or something I missed?

Also I have a suggestion for this module .

You should consider adding a framed windows with scroll bar inside the modaction module "Setting" where adminstrator can view/read the log and a button underneath the view windows to clear or purge the log.

For phorum 5.0.18 strip_body is a function in include/format_functions.php there was probably a change in 5.1 that's causing this. I'll check it. For now you can change the lines:

90:    $msg_body = "    " . $message['body'];

123:   $tmp_body = "    " . $tmp_message['body'];

As for the window to view the logfile in the admin, this will definitly be in the next version, I'll appreciate this myself.
