Modifying an admin page....

[John Maguire]

I was forwarded to you guys for this particular question...

On admincp/moderator.php (a page in the admin CP), how do I set the "Moderators can physically delete posts/threads" option to yes by default? I tried to change it by editing the moderator.php file, but I got lost in the code.

In my opinion, I think this option should be set to yes by default in future versions of vB3.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The script I'm looking at doesn't have any form elements.

This is what it has (Line 125 of admincp/moderator.php):

print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['can_physically_delete_posts'], 'moderator[canremoveposts]', $moderator['canremoveposts']);

I'm pretty sure that's the correct line. I haven't got a clue where the print_yes_no_rows() function is defined, but I have a pretty good idea what it does with the objects that are passed into it.

If you're creating a new moderator, though, how does $moderator['canremoveposts'] get assigned and where does it get assigned? Well, obviously I had to keep looking myself. I found that you assign 'canremoveposts' to 1 in the array up on line 64.
