Any way to expand this so it can also work on individual posts within a thread? That's a task that is more frequent.

Do you want to move posts to new thread or to existing thread?

[djbaxter]

A new thread.

You made our moderators happy with this mod!! Thanks!

Exactly. And anything that can simplify this sort of task for moderators means less time spent on explanations by me. :)

[OldSchoolDSL]

Would be wonderful if someone could make this work for blogs too

[JAFRI]

good, work ,

Are you using a custom style?

Try the administrative tab at the top of the thread and not the moderation at the bottom right.

[kavehch]

Are you using a custom style?

hi

yes i use custom style

[Winter Sonata]

Thanks !!

[ForumsMods]

hi

yes i use custom style
Moderators must have permission to move threads.
Check that the following code is present in FORUMDISPLAY:

{vb:raw template_hook.inlinemod_thread_bottom}


Also check that is present in SHOWTHREAD:

{vb:rawphrase move_thread}


Try to use the default style.

[kavehch]

very very thanks

Working on 4.1, would be nice if thread auto-close it self too!

Will do for next version.

:confused:

Why is that needed if you're moving it to recycle? One would assume that your recycle forum is not open to members anyway.

A new thread.


Any news for that option?
It will be nice to have this option too, to move only one or some post to trash into New Thread (created in trash)

[RobbieZ]

Why do want it to auto close unless your trash forum is open to everyone, other than that your making unnecessary calls.

:confused:

Because you can do it in one move instead of selecting the move thread and scrolling to the forum you want to move it too ie recycle forum.

As much as this hurts to say, I have to agree with djbaxter on this. That is like closing the gate after the horse it already gone.

[CRDeveloper]

lol I know it doesn't seems logic, but the lock icon does prove to members that the thread is already closed. Its not for me but for idiots that send me emails saying they cant post in some areas cuz they don't have permissions set!

Another thing, I got a forum that has been around for 8 years from phpbb software and old management did like to close threads so the biggest forum here is the recyble bin. And for SEO i keep those threads visible to public as there is a big increase in traffic, Im doing my best to teach moderatos to not close just simple threads and just leave them alone until they die old (or until it someone makes a bump).

My archive goes from 2002 to 2010 and there is a lot of threads there that are important, like i said, and old admin though that by closing threads the database was going to be smaller and lower bandwidth etc etc. Very stupid! So i have to deal with this and that's why I want threads to be close automatically.

Simple suggestion to add the option, if not mods will still close them manually no problem!

So, you have your recycle bin open so members can see it?

[Sunka]

So, you have your recycle bin open so members can see it?

On my forum, trash subforum is open for members (only to see, not to post new posts).

When some user make mistake (stupid post, spam...) in some thread, my moderators move that post into trash podforum in new topic with Title that explain what was the mistake and why is that post in trash.

So, I need option to move individual post(s) into new thread in Trash subforum too, not just to move threads

[orok]

Thank You :)

I'm on 4.1PL2 and I tried installing it and its not showing up in my settings list in admincp. Anyone else having this problem?

From the initial post:

Where to set option:
Settings-> Options-> General Settings-> Recycle Bin Forum

It's quirky (the author of this add-on seems averse to adding another category for his mods so he slips the options into existing Admion CP Options tabs) but it's there.

This is exactly how I handle trash, spam, and stupid...it goes into the open
trash bin so others can see, and maybe learn by example...if they see what
happens to stupid, then maybe they will not become stupid, and if they do,
then they know where their stupid spam will end up....and of course
search engines can index this also....

Great mod but put aside until forum mods can use

[RK KINGKONG]

WHAT exactly does this do , i mean i dont know much so to me this isnt a stupid question what recycle bin lol , dont they go into like archive when they are like closed or what not or very old .. ?

[ZEHH]

That would not be the same function of removing physically?

[RK KINGKONG]

Ok why not just delete them ?? cant you just delete them and it would do the same ....well I have an issue due to a mod that wasnt working properly i have a ton of forum threads to a forum name /id that doesnt exist , the birhtday mod that made a thread on ppls birthday etc ... wel i went to admin cp to Remove Orphan Threads/This function removes all threads that belong to forums that no longer exist. but that didnt work . it wont even let me access it to delete them . DO you think this might do the trick ??That would not be the same function of removing physically?

[Gemma]

Thanks, makes life much easier :)

[tidus78]

Ok but where is the recycle bin?

[ForceHSS]

Ok but where is the recycle bin?

you need to make that section

[tidus78]

I have the section,mod is installed correctly and I have options to move in recycle bin but...there aren't settings in my ACP general options :confused::confused:

[Gemma]

You need to create a forum and call it something like 'Recycle Bin' then set it up to point to that in AdminCP > Settings > General Settings

[tidus78]

I don't see settings in AdminCP > Settings > General Settings.....there aren't

[Gemma]

AdminCP > Settings > Options > General Settings

There should be an option at the bottom

Recycle Bin Forum
Select the forum where you want to to move "recycled" threads

[tidus78]

It's incredible I don't see this option.....there isn't.... any idea?

[datoneer]

Perfect mod! Thanks

[hazem_aliraqi]

[Boofo]

Wrong! I see the setting fine in 4.1.8. Under "Options -> General Settings" at the very bottom, I see:

Recycle Bin Forum
Select the forum where you want to to move "recycled" threads

[tidus78]

Wrong! I see the setting fine in 4.1.8. Under "Options -> General Settings" at the very bottom, I see:

I have a lot of mod installed,all of them have options in general settings but this one doesn't appear....Which problem I have?

EDIT

Uninstalled and installed again...now it works thanks!

[COBRAws]

Can you make it so we can config each forum to have its own recycle, if none selected, just sent to default recycle? Like the old vbrecycle.

Thanks!!

Please update for vbb 5, thanks you!

[ozzy47]

Please update for vbb 5, thanks you!

The developer, has said in his other mods, they will not update the mods to vB5 till it stabilizes, and then it is still iffy.

[Powerlynx]

I'm going to need some help with this cause I just accidentally deleted a big thread, but still have it in my backups mysql database file but need some code help. There is no photos in the thread, no polls taken, no attachments whatsoever, only posts which should make this easier I assume?

[EliasAlucard]

I just can't find Recycle Bin in vBulletin Options...

[Powerlynx]

neither can I find this Recycle bin in the Admin CP using this path; Settings-> Options-> General Settings-> Recycle Bin Forum as instructed. How am I going to be able to retrieve this thread from a database backup file?

One feature I like to request is the option to be able to move it back to the thread, it was moved from to be placed into the "Recycling Bin"

This mod is useful for my co admins and moderators to place a questionable thread into the recycling bin, but would be more useful for a feature to put it back where it came from, if we decided to let it remain on the forum.

Just soft delete

[wEbAddEr]

Is there no way to move all the deleted treads and post to the 'Recycle Bin' interdependent how the moderator or admin deleted it ?

[M.C.]

would be nice to auto-delete threads after they been moved ;)
