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.

:knockedout: I was looking at my local copy and not the server copy. Apparently I didn't have all the files locally. Anyway, I DO have the mod folder, and here is what is shown around line 128:

PHP Code:

          // send notification
          if (!$notified["$thread[threadid]"]) {
            $message = $postpagetext[$key];
            sendnotification($thread['threadid'], $thread['userid'], $key);
            $notified["$thread[threadid]"] = 1;
          }

That's weird. sendnotification is defined in admin/functions.php. I've never gotten that error.

I have 2.2.6. and am trying to remove the redirects. This is the file I am working with now: install-massprune-redirects

In that file there is some code that I can't find.

PHP Code:

3. Open mod/index.php.

Find: 

    <a href="thread.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=prune"> Mass Prune </a>

Is mod/index.php even the right file to find that code?

Yes! The CPs have changed alot since then, the code you need to find is:

PHP Code:

makenavoption("Mass Prune","thread.php?action=prune"); 


And you need to add the code in the same format, so:

PHP Code:

makenavoption("Mass Prune Redirects","thread.php?action=prunered");

Last question is about:

This code is what I am supposed to find in admin/index.php but as above things have change but I don't know how to convert it.

PHP Code:

<a href="thread.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=move"> Move </a>

Find, and add the same as above for /mod/index.php

I put it where it was supposed to go but I don't see the link in the admin center.

I just install the Mass Redirects Deletion Hack in vB2.7.7 (same in 2.7.8)

some changes need to be made in this hack:

3. Open mod/index.php.
Find:
<a href="thread.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=prune"> Mass Prune </a>
Below it add:
<br> <a href="thread.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=prunered"> Mass Prune Redirects</a>

change to

3. Open mod/index.php.

Find:

makenavoption("Mass Prune","thread.php?action=prune");

Below it add:

makenavoption("Mass Prune Redirects","thread.php?action=prunered");

Change

5. Open admin/index.php.
Find:
    <a href="thread.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=move"> Move </a>
Below it add:
    <br> <a href="thread.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=prunered"> Mass Prune Redirects</a>

to

5. Open admin/index.php.

Find:

makenavoption("Mass Move","thread.php?action=move","<br />");


Below it add:

makenavoption("Mass Prune Redirects","thread.php?action=prunered","<br />");

in thread-php-addition.txt, change

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start Prune Redirects #######################
if ($action=="prunered") {

  $perms=getpermissions();
  if (!$perms[ismoderator] and !$ismod=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND canmassprunered=1")) {
    echo "<p>You do not have permission to do this!</p>";
    exit;
  }

  doformheader("thread","prunereddate");
  maketableheader("Prune redirects by date");
  makeinputcode("Delete redirects older than x days:","daysdelete","");
  makemodchoosercode(-1,-1,'','All forums','In forum',0);

  doformfooter();

}
