3 Admin Tools: Remove Redirect, Edit Posts, & Moderate User

Three additional tools for administrators/moderators - one written by wluke (I hope he does not mind me bundling it with the other two I wrote).

Download the zip file attached. Each hack has its own txt file with exact instructions on how to install it.

Hacks description:

1. Redirect Removal: Allows you to delete the "Moved" redirect to a thread.
   
2. Multi Posts Editing: Allows you to conveniently edit several posts in one thread at once, in one page and with one submit button (good for occassions where a thread gets out of hand and people are overboard).
   
3. Place User's Posting under Moderation: Allows you to place a user under moderation, whereby his posts and threads will be queued until an admin/moderator validates them. (written by Wluke).

Cheers,

Bira

UPDATE MAY 3rd:

* Added to the zip-file a fourth tool for mass-prune redirects ("moved:" links) older than x days (with ability to select which to delete and which to leave).

* fixed a bug in the user-under-moderation hack, which allowed threads with a poll to go unmoderated.

Eva I tested all my hacks, and it seems nothing changed as far as my hacks go from rc3, so yes, it will work fine

[eva2000]

btw, what's the 2 txt files for admin-thread-php-addition and thread-php-addition ?

[bira]

Eva it's from the mass-prune-redirects hack:

4. Open mod/thread.php.

Find:

if ($parentid and !$forumid) {
$forumid = $parentid;
}

Below it PASTE THE ENTIRE CONTENT of thread-php-addition.txt

.
.
.
.

6. Open admin/thread.php.

Find:

adminlog(iif($forumid!=0,"forum id = $forumid",""));

cpheader();

Below it PASTE THE ENTIRE CONTENT of admin-thread-php-addition.txt

That's cos there are two "control panels" -- one in admin and one in mod

thanks did get that far in reading the instructions fully yet

[eva2000]

confusion

in the instructions for moderate user posts it says

4) Open poll.php

find:

if (ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid])) {
$visible=1;
}

AFTER it put:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==XX) {
$visible=0;
}

problem is there are 2 instances of the find code in poll.php

if (ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid])) {
$visible=1;
}

so do i add it to both or the first or 2nd instance ?

[bira]

Eva you can add it after the 2nd instace as well.

This can be a very good feature so banning is not necessary in all cases. I think it needs to be included in a future version as a feature.
