3 Admin Tools: Remove Redirect, Edit Posts, & Moderate User

Three additional tools for administrators/moderators - one written by wluke (I hope he does not mind me bundling it with the other two I wrote).

Download the zip file attached. Each hack has its own txt file with exact instructions on how to install it.

Hacks description:

1. Redirect Removal: Allows you to delete the "Moved" redirect to a thread.
   
2. Multi Posts Editing: Allows you to conveniently edit several posts in one thread at once, in one page and with one submit button (good for occassions where a thread gets out of hand and people are overboard).
   
3. Place User's Posting under Moderation: Allows you to place a user under moderation, whereby his posts and threads will be queued until an admin/moderator validates them. (written by Wluke).

Cheers,

Bira

UPDATE MAY 3rd:

* Added to the zip-file a fourth tool for mass-prune redirects ("moved:" links) older than x days (with ability to select which to delete and which to leave).

* fixed a bug in the user-under-moderation hack, which allowed threads with a poll to go unmoderated.

probably will be

Especially the redirect removal was what I needed badly

mr.scotty

i just installed the
install-mderate-user-posts.txt
hack alone and put a user into
the moderated group. but when
this user logs in and press the "new thread"
button, he gets the message-page:

"You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1
2
3
..."

what is the reason?

Thanks, Bira - working like a champ!!!

[Cloughie]

does this work with 2.0.3?

I REALLY need the moderate users hack

[jucs]

Does this work with 2.2?

[Tommy Boy]

Or 2.2.1?

To prevent a user register himself only to spam throw emails and messages to other users, it would be useful to put one more option in the usergroup:

Email Permissions:

Can Use Send Email to Other Members? yes ---- no

When you're shure that the new member has written on the forum, you can switch him to the group with all permissions enabled.

THis is sweet!

dose it work for 2.2.1??
