Ok, I've transfered it all into a text file. The Keeper can download it and edit it if he so desires. :)

Yeah when I actually release it, it will be in a php file that runs the queries itself and all.
But has anyone tried to install it? And were you successfull?

I'm looking over it and I think you have a mistake at the top

>>ALTER TABLE thread ADD COLUMN nuked smallint(6) not null;

should be altering the post table, since you later call

>>UPDATE post SET nuked ='$nuker'

The Keeper

you're correct. Thanks. It should be 'post'.

I just installed it, first off

it needs to be "javascript" (without the space) or else it won't load right.

second it isn't working- the window pops up then closes right away, and nothing is done

There is no space in javascript. The [ PHP ] tags on this forum put the space in. :(

second it isn't working- the window pops up then closes right away, and nothing is done

Did you try reloading the page to see if the post was nuked?

The Keeper

There also seems to be a problem where this forum is interpreting {tags} as part of it's own style, and changing the url and color codes to the style of this forum.
So I'll definitly be releasing this in a downloadable html file or something.

As long as I'm confident it is working.

dude, my members get the access denied page, but for mods and admins all it does is have a window quickly pop up then close, and nothign else. even if you refresh.

Could you please run this query?

SELECT * FROM post WHERE nuked != 0

If the nuke link works properly, that will return a list of all the posts that you've used the nuke link on, and the problem lies in the display of the post. If it doesn't, then the nuke link is the problem.

not getting anything from the query

heretic

course, right now I don't think I'm getting anything- I'm using the command line of it for the 1st time (phpmyadmin's not working right these days)

the info is in the database (I had forgotten the ";")

so it has to be the link

The Keeper

04-01-2002, 01:38 AM

the info is in the database?

you mean, it DID pull up the posts your had 'nuked'?

The Keeper

04-01-2002, 01:41 AM

I think I know what the problem is.

and the info is in nuked, it's a lot to pull up though (I tried it several times in different forums :))

The Keeper

I forgot this step:

EDIT admin/FUNCTIONS.PHP

find:

if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_ignore")."\";");
}
return $retval;

and replace it with

if ($post[nuked]==1) {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postnuked")."\";");
} else if ($ignore[$post[userid]]) {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_ignore")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
}
return $retval;

I will update teh main post.

The Keeper

I'm pretty sure that it should work then. Also make sure it stays nuked on the new reply page.

You will notice the colors and table widths may not match your forum.... you will need to fix the templates, beacause when I posted them here they change to match this forum.

The attatched file contains more generic templates that will look better on your forum.

that was it!

man, this is a great hack, considering that our forum never deletes stuff.

my many thanks... works perfectly now on 2.2.4

:thumbsup:

Just wanted to test out the vbhacker installer for my hack. I only have one forum/database so I need someone else to take a crack at installing it.

This hack enables moderators to "nuke" posts. Which means the post will be disabled, and hidden from view on the thread. The post will be replaced with the word *NUKED*. Moderators will still be able to view the original post through a link. Moderators may restore the nuked post back to it's original.

In a thread, if a moderator clicks the asterisk of a post, a window should flicker up.
Next time you view the thread (or if you reload it) the post should not display, but the word *NUKED* should be there.
If you hit 'reply', the preview of the posts below the reply box should also have *NUKED* instead of the actual post.

If a moderator clicks the asterisk on a nuked post, a window should popup showing what the original post was, with vb codes disabled. And the option to restore the thread - which if clicked should un-nuke the post.

If a regular member, or guest ever clicks the asterisk he should be faced with a permission denied page.

You need vbHacker (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36378&perpage=15&display=&pagenumber=1) to install this.
Just upload the attatched data file to the /admin directory and run vbHacker to install it.

Let me know of any problems.
