What does this do?
It restricts usergroups from deleting posts, pertaining mainly to Super Moderators and Moderators.
If you don't trust you moderators when it comes to deleting certain posts or trust their judgement then editing should be suffice enough.
Here you can disable those usergroups from deleting any posts.

Enjoy.

Edit: big thanks to Boofo for helping me sort some issues out and getting things back on track

That templatesused line is commented out. How will adding anything to that do any good?

Why not just use the Usergroup Forum Permissions? In there, it has an option for "Can delete own threads and posts?" for specific forums.

Boofo · #24 07-08-2002, 04:54 AM

But that just pertains to their own threads and posts, doesn't it? This hack makes it so they can't delete others posts and threads.

There's an option in Forums & Moderators where you can set 'Can delete posts' to 'No' for any Moderator you want.

yeah afterlab i stated that in the second post that you can update each usergroups permissions by each forum... but i think it's more of an advantage to make it a more easier feature to work with... just my input though besides it was requested

oh i didn't know that ;\ but i think that The Ghost was looking for Super Moderators to not be able to delete posts... but then theres the user feature for oneself and then the forum permissions for each usergroup and now the mod permissions when assigning mods and then you can also of just added some other coding instead of what i added... but i guess this could've been accomplised in a number of ways

just my insight i guess... btw smachol does that include super moderators?

Yup, I'm using this hack, but well, without the hack on my forums right now. ^_^

hi,

thx g-force2k2 for writing this hack, but the hack doesn't work in my Forum...... :ermm:

I've created a Super Moderator Account and I still can delete.....

I've editet both files (editpost.php and Usergroup.php) and I have added the Template.

In the Groups Permission I see the function "Can Delete Post", this is set to "no", but it doesn't works.......

Please help me.....

thx

Make sure you delete your cookies before logging in under another account. It might still be picking up the old cookie.
