Very nice!

Rated 'Excellent'.

Reserved this mod for future use.

wow, very nice. ill test this one...
just what im waitin for!

*Clicks install

Installed with no problems at all on a modified board.

Isn't this the same as soft delete?

No. It doesn't actually delete the threads. It just moves them to a designated forum.

This is what I've been waiting for! I use to run an IPB board and I liked how when you deleted a thread, it would be moved to a forum (if you wanted). I loved that feature.

Anyways, thanks for this mod! I'll be installing it later tonight!

*Clicks install

A little more information please? Can we set default trash forums for diferent forums?

There are already 2 different hacks for this, one acting as a general "trash" forum and one with the ability of having different trash forums.

There is a bug with the polls when I enable this hack.
Not sure as why this happens but I hope the picture explains it better than words.

The upper poll is with the hack installed but disabled (normal poll behavior), while the lower one us with the hack enabled. As you can see it doesn't work right. [see attach img]

If you need anything, I'll try to help us much as possible :)

PS vb 3.6.5 and many hacks installed

very nice :)

I'm having the same problem.

That should be 1-10...

This is a great hack, I've been looking for something similar to this.

Although I also can confirm this bug:

very cool... installed and rated excellent!!

when that bug is fixed im definately interested in this mod!!!

The bug seems to be placed on the plugin called "Edit Template (showthread)". When disabled the polls show correctly ^^

Uhh what is this? I have already made a hack such as this one. :\

*looks at sig*

I've got an issue with this addon. When enabled, no poll option displays.

I think it's because it is using $option which is reserved for the poll

yeah! I replaced $option with $trashoption and that fixed it

plugin: Edit Template (showthread)

So is the official code updated now? I'm interested in this myself.

There are four instances of $option in the xml. I changed them all to $trashoption and it works perfectly now.

Thanks!

The code isn't updated, but it's simple to change until the author releases it.

Just find & replace all instances of $option with $trashoption in the XML file.

thanks, fix works great.

cool. thanks a lot.

i'd like to trash single posts.

That would make it unmanageable. Use soft delete for that instead.

Hack Updated!
Version 1.1 (20 Apr 2007)
- Fixed Poll Bug

You're a big help GetShorty!

I just installed this 1.1 version after creating a forum called Thread Review. I set the vB options for this to point to that forum and set permissions in the 'vbTrash' options. I then created a test thread and sent it to Trash Thread. I clicked on Thread Review link and receive:
Now, if I select the Go To Last Post arrow, I can see this post. However, when I attempt to delete it, I get again. It does delete the post, but these errors are an issue.
Here is the thread:
http://www.cpfools.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=97
Note, you too will receive an error.
http://www.cpfools.com/forum does not show the error

Marks installed works perfect on a custom board.

To the above poster are you sure that you put the ID's in and not the ulr's?

Thanks Charlie for the question. Yes, here is the screen shot of it showing 97 and

I wished I can help but still learning this stuff the XML files are my favorite as I really hate coding, that's one of the reasons I moved from PHP to vb. Maybe Dismounted can assist you.

I'm a little bit confused. Like I created a category call Trash and a forum call Trash under it but I don't know the forum ID. How do I know the forum ID for Trash? Pardon me for my silly Q. I'm new at VB.

Go into the admin panel click to edit the trash thread oe thread you want to send to and look at the top of that to get the ID for the thread.

You can also hold your cursor over the thread title and the ending number of the url will show the ID as well. Example will show url of your board and then f=(Forum ID number)

Hi,

I got that. Thank you very much Charlie and C_P.

Just in case anyone is wondering, this works just fine with vbSEO installed.

Suggestion/Feature:

It will be really really useful to have an option to move an X number of selected posts, click on mod options, "Trash posts", and then let us choose a name for the thread created with that posts.

What hacks do you have installed? Judging from the error, I reckon another hack is using the variable $replace as a string instead of an array.
Again, this would make it really unmanageable. But I'll have a look at it.
