Hard Delete (physical delete) By User Group
 

This product allows you to allow/disallow hard deleting by user group. Currently, you have to edit each user to attain this, whereas this product assigns the privilege by user group.

To install, upload the files, and install product file. All user groups (including administrators) will default to NOT having the permission to hard delete, so after installation, modify the user groups you wish to have this permission.

This product was developed for Andy R from Social Knowledge and released here for others to enjoy.

Do not forget to:

Thanks, Installed.

why this is not bulit in vb? :rolleyes:

good question, probly they just missed out? :D

I dunno.. People have been asking for it for a long time, and I was just tasked to do it. Considering the IF condition is already there, it would not be that hard for them to do it. As you can see, this plugin requires no template edits.

You forgot the most important in case of Uninstalling...


Just in case someone has uninstalled your hack and is trying after to reinstall what results in getting the dreaded DB Error. Just a side note ;) Great hack and good idea by the way - Installed :) Thank you!

Doesn't this only hide that option? I guess you can still physically delete if you know the URL, and when I manage a soft deleted thread I'm still able to change its deletion status to physically deleted.

It does only hide it yes.. If you are having trouble with your mod's doing that, time for new mods.. :)

then you can do only to create a new admins/supermods usergroup who are not able to hard delete.
