vB Recycle Bin Hack · **Released**: 03-09-2003

IMPORTANT: ALTHOUGH I'VE TESTED IT ON A NEW INSTALL, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THIS HACK MAY DO TO YOUR FORUM! I JUST CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH! (

)

What does this hack do: This hack will move all threads users 'delete' to a forum, so it will act like a Recycle Bin. that's the basic idea.

Requested By:

2: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=40989
3: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37264

Features:
-Only first post in thread will be recycled, 'normal' posts will still be fully deleted.
-Anyone with delete permissions can delete/recycle a post.
-Total deletion of a whole thread can only be performed by a admin.
-Recycle Bin forum can just be disabled for new posts, so it really acts like a sort of archive. (doesn't matter really, because the newthread & newreply images are gone in the recycle bin forum anyway)
-Admin CP options page, for easy recycle bin management.
-Restore function: users can restore their threads to the original location of the post.
-Users can place a 'deletion request', and if the admin thinks the reason is good, he/she can delete the thread (with one click

).
-Admin's can turn the Recycle Bin on and off
-Admin's can easily speicify the forum id of the forum that should be used as the Recycle Bin
-More probably

Installation:
Follow the instructions in install.txt that is included in the zip file.

Notes: I've tested this hack on a fresh install of 2.2.9, but it should also work on 2.2.x and 2.3.0, although i might not be able to give proper support for other versions than 2.2.9

Future additions-list:
-enable recycle bin on a per-forum basis (small addition, only if anyone really wants it)
