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!

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.

Hi everyone...I am using the lastest version of this mod (I updated it today)...I have gone through every code change three times, confirmed that admins and mods are at super moderator status yet when I (the main admin) attempt to use any of the inline mod functions I receive this:

Robin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation

Where did I go wrong?

It is working on my old board fine. But I have just installed it on a new board and the tools are working ok in postbit but not in threadbit.

In threadbit I don't see any check boxes nor can I see the Forum column either.

Any thoughts?

Be nice to add the "check box" and inline mod tool to search.php page. EX: If a search for a "term" and get a result it would be nice to check a load of treads and move it ect ...

Prob just a few template edits.

If you look back the thread a few pages, I added this in an earlier version but I removed it due to security issues. There's no easy way to check permissions for each thread unless you want to query each thread/forum permission that you have selected, which I decided against.

Cool I'll take a look back.

I edited your script for my needs.

find: can_moderate($foruminfo['forumid'])
replace: $bbuserinfo['userid'] == 1

In all template edits. I'll read a little bit and make it to only usergroups x,x,x

Really Really nice hack.... there should be a physical delete option though, or if not, maybe a "if the thread is already soft deleted and delete is selected again, phsyically delete it"

Well couldn't you just post a modification for it so the people that want it in there can get it?

Have you modified your database in any way? The post_parsed table is a default table in vBulletin and should be there. Check in phpMyAdmin that it is.
