Inline Moderation Tools (v1.2.1) · **Released**: 08-27-2004

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!

Changes Since

1.2.0
- Fixed problems with merging threads
- Enhancement to the merge thread screen
1.1.0
- (Hopefully) resolved all JavaScript issues
- Merge threads
- Removed search results moderation ability (it was too much work to maintain and a user could bypass the protection if he knew how the hack operated)
- Bug with not updating all user fields in post merge
- Bug with checking for the wrong permissions when deleting a post
- Template caching
- Selection boxes only appear when a user is a moderator
1.0.0
- Fixed search results
- Added small announcement patch

Fixes For 1.2.1
The following fixes are in in the next version:

Instructions typo for threadbit template
Attachments are lost when merging posts The download has not yet been updated with this fix!

On The To-Do List

Usergroup permission for inline moderation

If you'd like a moderator action added to this hack, post it below and I'll look into it.

What are the screen shots of?

Don't forget to click install!!!

if (!can_moderate($vars['forumid'], 'canremoveposts'))

{

    print_no_permission();

}

Wouldn't that check for permanent deletion? I suppose that you should use candeleteposts, instead of canremoveposts, but I am not sure. Can you please clarify?

Rgds and tnx

Thanks for catching that. It should be candeleteposts, not canremoveposts; hard delete is a separate entity.

Merging threads is in the next version. I was planning to release it last night, but after six hours of homework I really wasn't up for it. Should be updated this evening.

Thanks for your response, I know it is hard for you, given your school obligations.

No hurry for me, I came up with my own version, but I would be interested to see how it compares with yours. If you need the code, please let me know.

I am not sure if someone would be interested in that, but I noticed that if you do a search and come up with the results, then you do an inline moderation action, like delete a thread (supposing you are allowed to do that), then you are no longer returned to the search results, but to the forums home page.

That bothered me, since I use the search to find all posts since yesterday, and I want to return there to check for more.

What I came up with, is that you may catch up the fact that you called the inlinemod.php from the search results, and have the program return you there. All you have to do is to pass a hidden parameter from the search_results template form to inlinemod.php.

Here is what you have to do:

Open your search_results template and find:

HTML Code:

<input type="hidden" name="unsafe" value="1" />

Right below that, add:

HTML Code:

<input type="hidden" name="searchid" value="$searchid" />

Save the template. Now open your inlinemod.php file and find:

PHP Code:


			
if ($_POST['type'] == 'thread')

{

    // Set our globals

    $vars['inlineid'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($_COOKIE['bbinlineid']);

    $vars['forumid'] = intval(end(explode('_', $vars['inlineid'])));

    $vars['action'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($_POST['inlinemodact']);

    $vars['forum'] = fetch_foruminfo($vars['forumid']);

Right below that, add:

PHP Code:


			
    $searchid=$_POST['searchid'];

Further down in the same file, find:

PHP Code:


			
if ($vars['forumid'])

    {

        $url = "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$vars[forumid]&mod=1";

    }

Replace all occurences of that piece of code, with:

PHP Code:


			
if ($vars['forumid'])

    {

            $url = "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$vars[forumid]&mod=1";

    }

if ($searchid!='')

    {

        $url = "search.php?searchid=$searchid";

    }

Now everytime you went to inlinemod.php from a search results page, you will be returned to your search results, after the inline moderation action is completed.

Alrighty! At long last, here it is! Inline Moderation Tools 1.2.0 should resolve all of the JavaScript users were having. Check boxes now only display when they need to, all templates are now cached, thread merging has been added (however, threads with polls it will not merge because it was too much work to figure out all of that logic), it removed search results moderation (sorry but this was a security hole that needed to be closed (if you want it enabled, I can explain how for you)), and a few other various fixes.

Upgrade instructions as well as fresh install ones are in the ZIP. Don't forget to click install!

Terrific,

Just change your instruction in global.php, it should say:

PHP Code:


			
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay')

{

    $show['inlinemod'] = true;

}

else

{

    $show['inlinemod'] = false;

}

you use forumdisplay.php, while the script name is forumdisplay.

Great, thanks for the update

And thank you for that fix sv1, dunno if I'd notice that on my own, well now we dont have to find out

Small suggestion: Getting rid of the .DS_Store files to save zip space

PS: I just wanted to say, whatever you did to the install HTML file, thank you! You have no idea how great it is to be able to use Crtl+A inside a textarea to fetch only the text inside that

Oooh me happy now

*ahem*
Ill go away now

WebMasterAJ · #**111** 12-08-2004, 12:00 PM

Hello -

I've installed this hack, but for some reason nothing displays at all. Am I supposed to activate it someway?

Please let me know!

Thank you for your time and energy!
