Inline Moderation Tools (v1.2.1)

Note: Development of this hack has stopped.
The built-in version is far superior to this hack and has better controls and permission checking. For those of you who will remain on 3.0.x, I will try to support this hack as best I can, but it won't be a top priority. If you plan on moving to 3.5, I hope this hack made your life a little bit easier while you waited .

Current Version: 1.2.1 (Wed Dec 11 15:26:30 PDT 2004)

What this is?
This hack will allow you and your moderators to do your job more effectively by allowing you to mass-moderate. You can perform the same action on multiple threads and posts without leaving the current page!

What is required?
In order to use this hack, you must have cookies and JavaScript enabled! If you don't, this hack will not work. (Note: there is no "alternative display" for people without JavaScript enabled).

How many changes?
Uploads: 2
File edits: 2
And template additions/edits

Support
I will provide all support here in this thread.

Bugs
I have thoroughly tested this hack with as many different combinations I could think of. But I probably have either over looked one or two, or just didn't think of some. If you find any odd behaviour, please let me know!

Nice -- but shouldn't there be an option in the actual thread to select multiplie posts and delete them permanently? Not just soft delete?

Doesnt most of this appear under thread tools? (feels like I missed something)

I considered hard delete but that could be a problem if you accidentally selected the wrong option.

Yes they do. The point is to be able to do it onto multiple posts/threads at the same time.

What I am wondering is that although this is considered one of the few real missing features in vBulletin, it only has 12 installs...

at last - this finally brings vbulletin upto the same standards as my old YaBB board!
Been waiting for ages for this!

I did only release it yesterday. But as long as at least one person installs it, I'm happy .

Why didn't you use the forum / thread tool drop down box instead of adding more data on the screen?

great step forward

Because on my forum, I stripped out all of the DHTML menus and I prefer to not use them . It wouldn't be hard to move it into the DHTML menu, though.
