Delete a post with only one button (in postbit) · **Released**: 01-24-2004

This is a really easy hack to install and use, and it allows you to delete any post with only one click, instead of going through the editing process and then selecting delete, and then confirming, etc.

NOTE: Do you want to use an image instead of a button? Click here!

NOTE: You cannot use a link to replace the button because the code requires you to submit a form, and using a link will make a huge security risk where people can delete posts as they wish!

Instructions

Open up the postbit template and find

PHP Code:


			
            <if condition="$post['editlink']">

Below, add:

PHP Code:


			
                <form action="editpost.php" method="post">

                    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

                    <input type="hidden" name="p" value="$post[postid]" />

                    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="deletepost" />

                    

                    <input type="submit" name="deletepost" value="<if condition="$deletebutton">delete<else />remove</if>" id="rb_del_soft" tabindex="1" class="button" />

                    

                </form>

Open includes/functions_showthread.php and find:

PHP Code:


			
    // hide users in Coventry from non-staff members

Above, add:

PHP Code:


			
    $deletebutton = 1; // set to 1 to only hide the post, or 0 to permanently delete the post

Done!

Images you can use for the delete button

Hmm.. I got mine working, but.. It removes the posts, and leave's the "manage" and "view post" options there. Any ideas?

Any ideas, Gary W? It's been 3 days, :S (Dont mean to be rude).

Change $deletebutton = 1; to $deletebutton = 0; then all new deleted posts will disappear.

The way you have it right now is how vBulletin works, posts aren't usually permanently deleted (staff can still see the deleted posts, just in case they ever need to.)

$deletebutton = 0; is what i have it set to.

Gary King · #48 02-27-2004, 07:03 PM

Yep that is correct.

MischiefThought · #49 02-27-2004, 07:48 PM

Your not understanding what i'm saying...

I have the delete set to 0, and its not working.

MischiefThought · #50 02-28-2004, 02:04 AM

Ok, does anyone have any ideas? I'm really gettin mad now, it's been over 3-4 days atleast.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
