Miscellaneous Hacks - FA Self Destruct Thread

Ever wanted to move a thread to your forums trashbin etc? But wanted to show the reply to the thread starter? Then this is for you!

This hack can move a thread after a specific time period specified by the admin.

I have not used a cronjob as this doesn't have any specific time of deletion.

Required:
A forum to move all threads after time period... (Forums trashbin?)

v1.0.2 Beta

v1.0.1 Beta

- Settings
- 3 Template Edits
- 2 File Edit

I get this weird error whenever I set a thread to self destruct:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Pls help!

Hello

Your hack causes performance issues, this is because the plug-in at the hook: global_start

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread SET forumid='".$vbulletin->options['fa_selfdest_forum']."', selfdest='0' WHERE ".time()." > selfdest AND selfdest!='0'"); 


You can't perform that query on every page load! it's pretty bad idea.

it's better to move this plug-in to the hook: cron_script_cleanup_hourly
