vB3 Users can see own moderated threads prior to approval

Heisenberg submitted a new resource:

You must be registered for see links

- Users can see own moderated threads prior to approval

vB Version: 3.8.7

On my forum, to prevent spam, threads from new users are checked for common spam keywords, including links. If any such keywords are found, the thread gets auto-moderated.

In order to prevent double-posting, I decided it was necessary for users to be able to see their own moderated threads in the forum listings before they get approved. Nobody reads the redirection message shown, so I hope that this will be more effective in preventing duplicates.

Moderated...

I just installed this and works great until you click on the link to view the thread. Then is shows the default no thread page because of permissions.. If you edit showthread.php the following will solve that:

Find:

[I][B]if ((!$thread['visible'] AND !can_moderate($thread['forumid'], 'canmoderateposts'))[/B][/I]

Replace with:

[I][B]if ((!$thread['visible'] AND !can_moderate($thread['forumid'], 'canmoderateposts') AND ($thread['postuserid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR !$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))[/B][/I]

Find:

[I][B]AND post.visible = 1[/B][/I]

Replace with:

[I][B]AND (post.visible = 1 OR (post.visible = 0 AND post.userid = " . intval($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) . "))[/B][/I]
