Moderate new threads

I first had this hack in a reply in this thread but thought it would be confusing. They are different enough that I'm making my own thread. (The referenced hack disables control of thread moderation making all new threads moderated.) You can blame this thread for my confusion on where to put this hack.

Description: This hack allows forum-level control to moderate new threads. It is similar to the forum-level control to moderate new posts already provided by a default vBulletin installation. On/off controls are in the same area as the controls for moderating attachments & posts. This hack does require a DB modification.

Included in this hack is a small change my admins find useful to the admin/mod control panels (admin/index.php and mod/index.php). It is completely optional and independent of the moderate new thread hack. All it does is add a bit of helpful information after logging in to the admin control panel or moderator contol panel. It will provide something like the following:

There are currently no posts, no attachments, and 1 thread(s) awaiting moderation.

By the way, I hope to never see this hack used here.

Please post screenshot from forum-level in admin CP.

P.S. Post normal .txt file, created with Notepad.

Aye...

I would like proof of working before "purchase"

I install this hack, and testing now

I add small replace to hack.
In admin/index.php find this code

makenavoption("New Posts","../mod/moderate.php?action=posts","<br>");

and replace to this

makenavoption("New Threads & Posts","../mod/moderate.php?action=posts","<br>");

In mod/index.php find code

makenavoption("New Posts","moderate.php?action=posts","<br>");

and change to this

makenavoption("New Threads & Posts","moderate.php?action=posts","<br>");

That's all!

Wordwraps added to file.

I didn't know about freddie's hack. If you have that already, ignore everything in my hack file after the ####'s. freddie's hack looks to take care of all this information plus some more.

As far as proof, I can't give proof. But here is a screen shot that shows the modified on/off control area.

Just wondering, would it be possible to add in an addition to move the moderated thread to another forum if you think it's not suitable for that forum?

Installed, works fine.

I also use this hack . it works perfect for me.
I left away this part

PHP Code:

$invisible=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE visible=0");
if ($invisible[posts]==0) {
  $moderatedposts = "no posts";
} else {
  $moderatedposts = "<b>$invisible[posts] posts(s)</b>";
}

$invisible=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS attachments FROM attachment WHERE visible=0");
if ($invisible[attachments]==0) {
  $moderatedattachments = "no attachments";
} else {
  $moderatedattachments = "<b>$invisible[attachments] attachment(s)</b>"; 


as it took very long for my admincp to load (I have > 400.000 posts in my forums)
