Disable Hard Thread/Post Deletions

This little product disables hard deletes for everyone (ie, Supermods) but Admins.

Install
Just install the attached product XML as normal. It adds 3 plugins.

Note
This doesn't do anything to the Prune functions in the ModCP, so if the user has access to that, then it's likely they can still hard delete threads and posts. This product only stops them doing it using inline moderation, and the thread tools menu.

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

Enjoy!

Version 1.1: This now hides the Hard Delete option as well.

Installed, it works exactly as in the description, inline & thread tools only. Smod still can physical delete through Quick Edit & edit in Advanced mode

EDIT: They also get the option, and can use it, when editing a post in Advanced mode.

How would you make it to disable for ALL users (including admin) ?

I fixed the Call to undefined function: can_administer() in inlinemod.php(220) : eval()'d code on line 3 error.
You can find my fixed version in the attachment

Tomorrow I'm going to try making a version which will disable physical deletion also through quick edit and edit in advanced mode.

As physical delete can already be disabled for moderators I suggest this plugin:

Hook Location: can_moderate_supermod

PHP Code:

$return = ($do != 'canremoveposts' AND $do != 'canmassprune'); 


This disables physical delete for inlinemod, thread tools and mass prune in modcp for supermods.

Andreas,

Can something similar be used to prevent Mass Move?

Also, I notice that your code also prevents Admins from Physically deleting. Any way to allow that?

Thanks!

JUST what i needed!

[Hornstar]

Will admins still be able to hard delete? Because this is what I want but i still want admins to have the option.

Doesn't your Supermods permissions hack do this?

And where is the setting to turn off physical delete for Mods? I didn't find it.
