Allow all mods to view deleted threads · **Released**: 11-06-2005

Requested: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100108

This little mod allows moderators of any forum to view all soft-deleted threads. (usually they can only view soft-deleted threads in forums they moderate).

This (should) work as long as the user is a moderator of ANY forum. Doesn't matter which forum, just as long as they're listed as a moderator of at least 1.

I've done as much (limited) testing as I can with just me and my test board, so let me know if it causes any problems

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!

Version 1.4: Fixed the pagenav bug
Version 1.3: Now supports search results + fixed a minor bug

Version 1.2: Added support for mods to view all soft-deleted posts as well as threads

Version 1.1: Fixed a bug that broke most of the links in forumdisplay.php

They get this

Hmm, very strange. I'll do some more testing here tonight.

I just realized, you're talking about Threads, while I'm talking about Posts.

/me goes back and deletes a thread.

Sorry to be a real pain, but if you get a sec, would you mind running the following query and telling me the number it returns (should be 1 or 2):

Code:

SELECT visible FROM thread WHERE threadid=<id of a soft-deleted thread here>

Thanks

Okay. Seems to work great for deleted threads.

Think we can get it to work for deleted posts? :bunny:

2 (and more letters here to meet minimum char requirements)

lol - I was very confused as to why it didn't work

I'll have a look at posts now mate, didn't even know posts could be soft-deleted

Alan @ CIT · #19 11-09-2005, 07:45 PM

ok, I've updated the product XML in the first post - v1.2 now supports soft-deleted post viewing

(hopefully)

SoftWareRevue · #20 11-09-2005, 09:01 PM

That got 'er, sir.

Seems to work like a champ.

I'm sure more people will find this handy as well.

Thank you!

One more request. :angel: <<<< is there an angel emoticon here?

The only place I've noticed that the soft-deleted post doesn't show up is the search results when you search for all posts by a user.

They, also don't show up when you search for a phrase.

I suppose that means they don't show up in search results.

They show up for admins though. So, can you have them show up for mods?
