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!

• 1.2.0
  • Fixed problems with merging threads
  • Enhancement to the merge thread screen

I installed it. It worked fine when I was logged in as Admin... but as soon as I logged out, It gave a JS error on show thread and forum display pages

Any Idea why???????

BTW I am on IE 6 and WinXP

[rob_daemon]

Can you post the JavaScript error? I don't run into any problems.

To move a single post to another forum in vB, you first have to split it from the thread. This will create a new thread with only the post(s) you wanted and then you can move it around.

As for uninstalling, you just undo whatever you did to install it.

how do I make this work in postbit vertical? I can't see the tick to split posts.

[XanaduRanch]

Thanks! This works great! But I am getting an error, "Can't Find Phrase 'splitthread'". I didn't see any instructions for adding a phrase. but it's late here. Did I miss something? Seems to work anyway ...

I'd like to see all the normal thread and post management tools in your hack, such as merging threads, physically deleting threads and posts, soft deleting threads/posts, etc. It would also be nice to have your inline tools work with this hack so you could mass download threads, and this hack for bumping a few threads at a time.

Did you add the template modification in the instructions to the postbit template?

Odd, I'm not sure why that would be occurring. I don't even get the thread split redirect message.

As stated previously in this thread: merging is on the to-do, and physically deleting is something I considered but decided against (it may wander its way into the hack in the future, though), and soft deletes already exist.

I don't have any intentions, however, to make this hack specifically compatible with other hacks. It's not hard to add custom actions if you know PHP, however.

[integra99]

Sounds like a plan. I'll look into what it would take to integrate those other hacks on my own, and post them up when I get some time. I would like to see the physical delete though
