Remove mass-prune posts option in ModCP

This is a simple hack that I have in my private forums.

I do not want my 70+ moderators mass-pruning posts, so all I did was to do this:

In modcp/index.php -

Find:

PHP Code:

    if (can_moderate(0, 'canmassprune'))
    {
        $canmass = true;
        construct_nav_option($vbphrase['prune'], 'thread.php?do=prune');
    } 


Change to:

PHP Code:

    if (can_moderate(0, 'canmassprune'))
    {
        $canmass = true;
    } 


Simple.

I just removed thread.php from modCP and removed the links from the Index page.
Also stops them from mass moving.

I personally believe that this is a big security problem and Jelsoft should give admins the option to disable or enable this from the ModCP. Some boards have many mods, what if one of their accounts got stolen? The whole forum could be erased in seconds.
For this very reason, i have also removed thread.php from the AdminCP, but i have not removed the links. That way, i can simply upload it when i need to use it.

Thanks

Anyone? Please? :ermm:

Hmm ... this hack doesn't make sense at all.
One could just directly enter the URL.

The assumption is that unless the mod knows the direct url, they won't be doing that.

But you can always open thread.php in the modcp directory, and remove:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start Prune #######################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'prune')
{

    if (!can_moderate(0, 'canmassprune'))
    {
        print_stop_message('no_permission');
    }

    print_form_header('', '');
    print_table_header($vbphrase['prune_threads_manager']);
    print_description_row($vbphrase['pruning_many_threads_is_a_server_intensive_process']);
    print_table_footer();

    print_form_header('thread', 'dothreads');
    construct_hidden_code('type', 'prune');
    print_move_prune_rows('canmassprune');
    print_submit_row($vbphrase['prune_threads']);
} 


The rest of the mass prune code is intermingle with the mass move code, and would be messy to remove, which was why I didn't post about that.

just what I had been needing lately

[jilly]

can you remove mass prune from supermods too?

(besides setting the option board by board)
