NUKE posts [FINAL RELEASE]

This hack gives moderators and administrators the ability to disable a post, rather than delete it.

A small asterisk is added at the side of each post. If it is clicked by a moderator, a window will flicker up. The next time the thread is viewed the post will simply be replaced with the word "Nuked", indicating that a moderator has disabled it. Such a feature you may have seen on smaller non-vbulletin forums.

Moderators still have the option to see what the post was by clicking the asterisk on a nuked post. They may also restore the post (which isn't possible with deleted posts).

The above link is an example of a nuked post. Notice the asterisks down the bottom of threads, those are the nukers.

There are many practical benefits to nuking a post instead of deleting it. It's fast, it's reversable, it gives users the knowledge that content was removed, and admins may still review the disabled content.

Installation:

You need vbHacker to install this.
Just upload the attatched data file to the /admin directory and run vbHacker to install it.

(The hack works by adding a new attribute to each post in the database which determines whether the post is nuked or not. If it is, the post is displayed through a seperate template, much like posts of ignored people.)

Problem solved.

The differenz between void(" ) and void('' ) ist realy difficult to spot in your NukeDocumentation.rtf. It took me a while to figure that out. I should add that I have absolut no experience with javascript.

Thanks anyway....

Looks like a nice hack - was the vbhacker version ever fixed?

]Great hack but I have a strange error. It works fine for me, I am the admin, but it doesn't work for my moderators. They get a "You don not have permission to access this page" error if they try to nuke a post. What I can do about it ? Many thanks.

Leo - replace any instances of:

if (!ismoderator($threadinfo[forumid],"candeleteposts")) {

in this hack with:

if (!ismoderator()) {

Otherwise, only mods of the forum the post resides in will be able to use the hack

Oh, i forgot - thanks for the great hack by the way! It works like a charm
