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!

Hi all, I installed this mod.... and went back through to make sure I didn't miss a step but I don't have the inline mod tools showing on my forums:
http://www.yourlincolnpark.com/LPSForum/lpsforum.php

Any ideas where I screwed up? And yes... I created the new templates.

OOps....I see it now but it only appears on my defualt skin and not the child skins.....any ideas why?

[Diana Notacat]

If you could add a mass close/open to that it would be beyond fantastic. XD

If you have customized the templates that require changing, then that would cause this to happen.

This already exists in the toolset. View a forum and the check out the tool list and you'll see "Open Theads" and "Close Threads" (here for a picture).

Been waiting for ages for this!

Haha, yeah this was the only thing that I missed from my old YaBB board.

Great hack, installed!

Thanks so much. Heck, even phpBB has this feature that vBulletin lacks!

Great hack!

2 bugs:

1) When you click the usercp, you see the 'New Subscribed Threads'. They all have check boxes next to them that do nothing.

2) When a thread is deleted, and you click 'view', you see check boxes by every post that do nothing.

Another bug, if you do a search for new post, it shows the checkboxes, and gives a javascript error if you check them

[rob_daemon]

I'll look into putting conditionals around the check boxes for the next version.
