Description

Thanks for the nice module, Flag Content, appreciated the hard work!

However, it would be an useful feature, if admin could choose if users need to provide with a reason why they feel the content in question needs some attention. This serves also an other purpose... quite often people seem to click the reporting link by accident or just wanted to take a look what's that... but immediately when clicked, the report has already gone to the admin.

Sorry I can't help with the coding with my lacking technical skills, but just an idea and 2 cents...

Keep up the Great Work, All the best

This is a good idea. What would also be nice is to have a user comment on what's wrong instead of a selection.

Either a selection or a comment or even both would be a great addition to this already great module.

We are in discussions with a sponsor for this feature.

Nothing firm yet, but if this materializes, the feature should be available in a few weeks.

I was just wondering about this very feature. Nice to see it's already being requested multiple times!

Any (good) news about this project?

How is it planned to be implemented? A HTML form select menu with all the choices in, and a submit button?
Then some javascript could jazz it up to look like that of digg.com etc. if needed, but degrades nicely still?

Or is there a different way planned?

Title:Reason to "flag"» Add reason to flag, and a comment by the user on why they are flagging an item

Changing the description to better reflect what I want this feature to do.

Ideally, after clicking on "flag this", a form will be displayed with list of reasons to choose from, and a textarea to describe why this item is being flagged.

The list should be configurable by the admin.

Showing this info to the admin on the management screen would be a bit tricky, because of the sheer volume of information that needs to be displayed.
