NUKE posts [FINAL RELEASE]

This hack gives moderators and administrators the ability to disable a post, rather than delete it.

A small asterisk is added at the side of each post. If it is clicked by a moderator, a window will flicker up. The next time the thread is viewed the post will simply be replaced with the word "Nuked", indicating that a moderator has disabled it. Such a feature you may have seen on smaller non-vbulletin forums.

Moderators still have the option to see what the post was by clicking the asterisk on a nuked post. They may also restore the post (which isn't possible with deleted posts).

The above link is an example of a nuked post. Notice the asterisks down the bottom of threads, those are the nukers.

There are many practical benefits to nuking a post instead of deleting it. It's fast, it's reversable, it gives users the knowledge that content was removed, and admins may still review the disabled content.

Installation:

You need vbHacker to install this.
Just upload the attatched data file to the /admin directory and run vbHacker to install it.

(The hack works by adding a new attribute to each post in the database which determines whether the post is nuked or not. If it is, the post is displayed through a seperate template, much like posts of ignored people.)

it's missing an extra } before elseif

should be:

} elseif ($post[nuked]) {
$username='Some petty foo';
$reviewmessage = '<i>deleted by moderator</i>';
}

works great, thanks

what i done

in template 'postnuke', changed NUKED to: -

PHP Code:

*NUKED BY $nukerinfo[username]* 


then

PHP Code:

if ($post[nuked]!='0') {
        $nukerinfo = getuserinfo($post[nuked]);
        eval("\$retval = "".gettemplate("postnuked")."";");
} el...... 


you have to change the above if to "!='0'" for the nuke to work cause you then change 'nuked' in the db to the users member id.

find '//do nuking' and add

PHP Code:

 //do nuking
  $nuker = $bbuserinfo[userid]; 
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET nuked ='$nuker' WHERE postid ='$postid'"); 


find '//do restore' and add

PHP Code:

 //do restore
  $nuker = $bbuserinfo[userid]; 
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET nuked ='$nuker' WHERE postid ='$postid'"); 


thats all i done and works fine
