Quick Delete Post

This hack is an easy and cute one, of my 'Quick' series.

If you have permissions, it will allow you to [high]delete a post[/high] with the simple click of a button, while you view the thread. If there is only one post in the thread, the hack will delete the entire thread, instead.
Also the hack is designed to prevent accidental post deletion. A warning message will popup to confirm the message deletion.

I too cannot delete posts by unregistered users. The delete link does not appear. Any ideas?

[Odysseus]

One suggestion:
Is it somehow possible to return to the current page?

When a moderator deltes a post, the forum will bring him back to page 1 of the thread. It would be extremly useful if he would be redirected to the page where he was before deleting the post.

How can this be done?

TECK the same problem with unregistered users!!! :ermm:

[HiSquad]

Thank you

[alkatraz]

Works great! Thank you kindly!!

The only small issue I had when installing was the "$templatesused =" part. There are 2 references to this inside showthread.php. I used the first one of course but you might want to add that in the instructions.

Thanks!!!!!!!

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5, 6))) {

Installed the hack on 2.3.0, but had a little problem with the line above. You should remove the space between the "5," and the "6" so that it will work correctly. That was the only problem I had. Should read as the following:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6))) {

Thanks for a great new feature, TECK!

[EDIT: When trying to edit a post, I got an SQL error, so I removed the edit to the editpost.php file, and everything works smoothly now. Not sure what was being done on editpost.php, but the code obviously isn't required to delete posts... ]

Also, when I click on the "Delete Post" link(changed it from an image to a text link), I get the prompt, but then I am taken to a blank page. I go back to the thread, refresh, and the post/thread is still there. Any help is appreciated!
