vbThreadSpinner

UPDATE 18/7 22:23 (Dutch Time)

Changelog:

deleted some unnecesary htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities()-calls

Fixed the problem that you couldn't move to a forum in which no threads can be posted.

Only re-upload spinner.php (newly attached) and you're done

Description: This hack allows mods/admins to selectively delete/open/close/move/copy/movewredirect threads in a certain forum at once!

VBversions: tested with 2.01 but will probably work on all versions

Features: Certain features are only shown when the particular mod has the rights for it. EG: When a mod can't close threads the 'close' option won't be shown.

Screenshots:

hidden admin option:


opening screen:


threadlist:

instructions:

1. Download the attached spinner.txt
2. Rename it to spinner.php or spinner.php3
3. Upload it to your mod directory
4. Backup moderator.php in your root directory
5. Open moderator.php
6. Insert:
   
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($action=="spinthreads") {

  $permissions=getpermissions();
  if ($permissions[ismoderator]) {
    header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
  } else {
    show_nopermission();
  }

} 

   after:
   
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($action=="modattach") {

  $permissions=getpermissions();
  if ($permissions[ismoderator] or $ismod=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND canmoderateattachments=1")) {
    header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=moderate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26action=attachments");
  } else {
    show_nopermission();
  }

} 

   Note: If you've renamed spinner.txt to spinner.php3 then you have to change
   
   header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
   
   to
   
   header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php3?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
   
   in the above section
   
7. Save moderator.php
8. Edit your forumdisplay_adminoptions template (forumdisplay templates)
   
   and add a new option:
   
   <option value="spinthreads">Spin Threads</option>
   
   so it probably will look something like this:
   
   

   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <form action="moderator.php" method="get"><tr><td>
   <smallfont>
   <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
   <input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid">
   <b>Admin Options:</b><br>
   <select name="action"
   onchange="window.location=('moderator.php?s=$sessi on[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid&action='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
   <option value="modposts" selected>-- Forum Options --</option>
   <option value="modposts">View Posts Queue</option>
   <option value="modattach">View Attachment Queue</option>
   <option value="move">Mass Move</option>
   <option value="prune">Mass Prune</option>
   <option value="spinthreads">Spin Threads</option>
   </select>
   <input type="image" src="images/go.gif" border="0" align="absbottom">
   </smallfont>
   </td></tr></form>
   </table>

That's it! Enjoy

I have 2 screenshots to share...

The Good news : The screenshot below proves it works

The Bad news : It will only appear in the CP, as for some strange reason, it doesnt in the "admin options"...

Did you add the necessary code to forumdisplay_adminoptions? It works on my 2.2.6 board.

I did this but after I have moved a forum, and click on the link of the forum in the spin threads box that verifies that, it gives me a page not found error. Any ideas on this one?

EDIT: Attached is a picture of what I am talking about. Look in the lower left habd corner at the Status Bar. That is what shows up when I hightlight the forum name that the thread was moved to (Graphics design). It shows the forum/mod dir instead of just the forum dir.

And is there any way to have this just for the Admin and not mods if I want it there?

hmm...might be a little late for this, but I just like to add something to that....if you are going to use that in the admin cp, all you have to do is put in the following instead of the above:

makenavoption("Spin Threads","../mod/spinner.php?action=spinthreads");

put that somewhere in your admin/index.php file (along with the other links), and it'll just go into the mod folder to get the file (along with any other thing it needs).....if you want to know a good place (well..I didn't really put it in a good place, but it's a good place)...here's what you do:

In admin/index.php, search for:

PHP Code:

makenavoption("Who Voted?","thread.php?action=votes"); 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

makenavoption("Who Voted?","thread.php?action=votes","<br>");
makenavoption("Spin Threads","../mod/spinner.php?action=spinthreads"); 


well...that's were I put mine...good luck for whoever needed this type of info

I could probably fix that..... hold on. (I want to insdtall it too!)

[Link14716]

hellsatan: it only apears in the FORUM dropdown, not the thread dropdown.

Boofo: open up spinner.php.

change both instances of:

a href='forumid=$moveTo[$threadID]' target='_blank'

to

a href='../forumdisplay.php?forumid=$moveTo[$threadID]' target='_blank'

Not tested, but it should work

[Boofo]

That fixed it. Thanks!
