[Smiry Kin's]

thanks dude

not tested yet. but can we choose what forum the recycle bin is?? damn hate editing the template, any way to make it all auto?

/me Installs

[dcarr]

yes, according to the xml...you have that option once you've installed the product.

[moonclamp]

Works well.

My forum has a "daily thread" that gets moved into a diary forum every night ... this will save me a few annoying clicks :)

[Daniel]

Awesome :)

[Mastar]

Love it... this should be a standard in vbulletin and there should be a default recycle bin.

How can I put an recycle bin icon on my recycle bin forum

[JsnakeJ]

Nice work man. :)

[AshokForums.com]

Can i see a working demo somewhere? I have no clue how this works..

[Snake]

I'm lovin' it! Thanks man...

[murrtex]

installed thanks

[creedmaniac]

i have a question about this...is there a way to make it automatically soft delete the thread and then move it? The way I handle crap threads is to soft delete them so they don't count in the forum stats and then move them. Would deff be nice to beable to do all this with one click

[brvheart]

*Clicks install* thank you very much man!! Quick question...where do I set the thread ID so I can choose where the recycle bin is?

[creedmaniac]

it's in the vbulletin options, general settings in admin panel

[brvheart]

it's in the vbulletin options, general settings in admin panel

Thank you very much....sorry I missed that....here's my sign lol :o

[creedmaniac]

yeah, took me a min to find it earlier too

[Derekclarke]

Great saves a lot of work.

Installed Button Pressed.

[brvheart]

small question...how can I allow my mods to see the move to button in the thread tools?

[Snake]

I think it does that already.

By the way Andreas, is it possible to add a feature where we could move posts to the recycle bin forum too? That would be sweet!

[brvheart]

that is what this does already...moves a post to the Recyle bin forum....


My mods can not see the option on the thread tools....not sure how to get them to do that.

[Snake]

No, it just moves threads to the recycle bin only, not posts.

And you can edit the option to display in Mod Tools by editting the required template via the acp. ;)

[brvheart]

ok, I got you now, I did not read "post"....sorry...I overlooked what you had said.

as far as the mod tool part...not to sound to dumb...but I am not sure where to edit this in the admincp....

[brvheart]

I am guessing that it is in the "threadadmin_movepost" template, but not sure where to set, playing with it right now to see what I can find or screw up :/

[Mentch]

Very Nice.... **Clicks Install**

If you do not know what Templates to edit to get this to show up on the Moderation drop down list, there is a how to file within the .zip file that tells you what to edit.

Yes I know...it had to do with a hack to restict supermod permissions.....I just realized after I disabled it. Thanks though :)

[Megareus Rex]

I cant tell you how long I've been waiting for this hack! :)

[Stangsta]

Found a bug.

When a thread is moved to the recycle bin, and moved back out to the public, if there are quotes in the title, it changes it to ;quot or something like that.

[Fusion.nl]

This should save us a few clicks. Installed and works flawlessly. :D

[Smiry Kin's]

still no answer, it doesnt allow mods to view this..?

[brvheart]

no it does allow mods to see it. Install per instructions and then make sure that you check the box in user group to allow to manage threads ;)


Thanks Andreas for the sweet hack :)

[Parham]

Awesome ! very useful mod ... Thanks dude

[Fuzzy Orange]

I've installed this but cant find how to run it at all???

Help?

[Snake]

vB Options ;)

[Smiry Kin's]

vB Options ;)Where? i can't find it at all.. which section is it in?

[heynurse]

Love it. Thanks

[heynurse]

Awesome hack, thanks!

But I'm still not clear on how to get mods and supermods to see and use this feature.

I've looked in the Usergroup manager, and I don't see any option for this or "Allow to manage threads" Can someone be specific as to where we need to edit this option, cause I'm not seeing it anywhere, I've looked through the vboptions section as well, still not seeing it.

Thanks again!

[brvheart]

it is in the AdminCP, usergroup manger, Supermods, Can Manage Threads Yes...

do you have the restrict supermods permission hack installed as well? If not you may not see this option...

[heynurse]

ravenes,

I really appreciate you helping point out exactly what page, but that is exactly where I've been looking?

Attached is a screenshot of that page with all the permissions for supermods. There is no such option?

Do you have any other suggestion? The hack is working fine except that none of my mods or supermods can see it??

Thanks again!

it is in the AdminCP, usergroup manger, Supermods, Can Manage Threads Yes...

do you have the restrict supermods permission hack installed as well? If not you may not see this option...

[Andreas]

Can Manage Threads is a moderator permission, so it won't show up in usergroup manger (unless you have Restrict Supermod Permissions installed, as already pointed out).

All your Mods that have this permission and all the supermods should see the options in Thread Tools and the Inline Moderation action dropdown.

If not, you've modified the templates incorrectly.

[Snake]

Yeah you're right, it's the mod that causes the problem. ;)

[kira]

Awesome, useful and efficient addition. Thanks a lot, Andreas!

[Nathan2006]

Thanks Andreas

Works really fast too :)

Took me a year and a day to find out where the options were though lol:D


vBulletin Options >> General Settings;)

Install

[BJv1985]

Thank you, is there any way to tell who moved the topic to the recycle bin?

[almukmin]

I have a request, do you think maybe you can exclude the posts in the Recycle Bin folder from being counted as User's posts in Post Count?

[mano1.com]

Installed!

Thank you very much.

I was doing this manually before. I even had modified the default option for move thread to "no redirect" so this was easier...

Your plugin makes this process MUCH easier.
THANKS!

[Binoy]

Installed !

but how about moving individual posts to Recycle ?

[Xajel]

I already thinked about it.. then I found it !!

thank very muc... Install clicked already ;)

[vampireus]

vB 3.6 Gold

From within the thread, it seems not working :(
From inline moderation for multiple threads, it move threads with redirect :(

I'm having the same problem. Can anyone code up a quick fix?

[Mysticales]

Thanks, nice indeed. Only wish you wouldve put in the readme that the option to edit is in the General Settings option for forum select. ;)

[brvheart]

can we get this ported to 3.6 :) please?

Edit...read first post....working in 3.6 :)

[rmxs]

Its works on 3.6 PERFECT :)

[Viceroy]

Anyone here know whether or not this will work on 3.6.1?

[brvheart]

yes it does ;)

[HeloHi]

It also works on 3.6.2 :)

if I wanted to change the thead icon when a thread is moved to a default icon, how would I go about doing that? I made a new style for the forum the threads are moved to, but don't know how to go about forcing the thread icon change for that style only. I am pretty sure it would be a template change in SHOWFORUM but I don't know what to change! Any ideas?

[djwins]

It would be great if there was an option to ban the user as well.
This would be cruicial for larger forums.

Thanks!

[SEYTAN_NL]

Installed on 3.6.2 works fine thanks !

[PoetJA-1975]

Installed and working wonderfully on 3.6.5
I wonder if there is a way to have the moved threads automatically closed.

Thanx for the sharing!

Jacquii.

[Normal]

Thank you very much .. is work on 3.6.5 no errors ..

[g00gl3r]

I guess this is what the resources-zone.com forum uses to shift old threads to their archive system? Does it do it automatically after a certain amount of days or anything?

[PoetJA-1975]

Invalid Action Specified error on 3.6.8 PL2
/me uninstalls

Jacquii.

[dvbusuario]

Thank you,

Installed and working on 3.6.8 Level 2

INSTALL!!

[SCuN]

great mod install 3.7.0 :D

[BJv1985]

After I upgraded from 3.6.4 to the latest 3.7 alot of my forums posts are suddenly located in the recycle bin forum!? Most of the topics are over 2 years old though.

It's probably my fault for not turning the mod off during the upgrade :erm::erm:

[brvheart]

I upgraded my board also to 3.7.3 with this installed and running and it works just fine and did not move any of my threads to the recycle bin so not sure what to tell you about that one :-/

[xlguy]

Don't suppose anyone has this working with 3.8 do they?

[rmxs]

Works for 3.8 for long time now

[MrD]

I would like a VB4 Version of this wonderfull addon :)

[Boofo]

I just tried to covert it over and I couldn't get it to work right. The templates have changed the way they do things in vb4.

[Dimoks]

3.8.6 all ok :)
Thank You!

[Bandit8007]

i known this is an old post etc

but could this be used on vb 4?

it works on 3.8

but i got no clue where to edit the stuff as it needs to be edited..

so infact im asking if this can be ported for VB4 +

gracias

fixed!

[FernandoFG]

Works great except that the number of post isn't updated when a thread is moved to the recycle bin.

The old posts are indeed discounted from the user's post count, but new ones doesn't, so if I move/delete a new one, the post count of the user remains the same.

Is there a way to fix this?
