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.

This works with 2.3.0 (You need to have a little intelligence because the format has changed slightly over the versions) as far as I can tell but I have one gripe with it. In the mass edit post hack if you completely take out the text of the post you just get a blank postbit, the behavior I would expect would be to delete the post entirly, how would I change this?

Delete the post instead of editing it

When I run the mass redirect deletion, the polls of the original thread are deleted. The $pollid variable isn't recieving any information.

Why hasnt the issue of "you do not have permission to access this page" been addressed yet?

Grrrr...

The "Moderated User" is not working for me.

I set a user as moderated in the admin panel, but he is still able to post and nothing shows up as far as posts needing moderation.

I have checked and double checked, but everything looks correct. I am using this on version 2.3.2

Well, it gets WAY worse than my last post.

I asked a trusted member to test this out, and she emailed me that as soon as I made her moderated she was able to see our private admin/mod forum and was able to read everything on it!

This is a disaster! We had 5 really troublesome members on that moderated list and I will assume they were able to read there too. Not good at all considering our game plan for dealing with them is all spelled out there, as well as lots of other stuff they should not see.

This board has several hacks installed, so I don't know if this is just version incompatible or it doesn't jive with another hack.

Just wanted to give a heads up about this!

The Redirect removal was just what I needed. Worked like a charm on 2.3.2.

Thank you!

Do these work on 2.3.4?

[G-man]

Can we get this to work on the current 3.0gold release?

Is there any swimilar mod for 3.0.7? I've been hunting to with no success.
