Soft Deleted Archive

Soft Deleted Archive v3.2

If you have a forum where you disallow your Moderators to Hard Delete posts, you might want to look over exactly what posts they have deleted, in case of disputes between staff and members. But running a huge forum with hundreds of threads, this task can get tiring.
This is where the Soft Deleted Archive comes in handy!

Features:

• Seperate threads and posts
• Name and link to forum of the thread/post
• Username that posted the post
• Username that deleted the post
• Reason for deletion, if any were inputted
• Date of thread/post deletion
• For threads, link that takes you directly to the thread in question
• For posts, link that takes you directly to the post in question, for manual managing
• Limit the number of total entries to show per page
• Ability to choose Sorting Order (Ascending or Descending)
• Flagging Threads and Posts seperately
• Fully phrased
• Ability to Hard Delete selected threads/posts
• Ability to Restore selected threads/posts
• NO Code Modifications needed!
• More efficient forum counter rebuilding.

This is a really useful hack! Works great on 3.5.4. Thanks!

This doesn't work for version 3.6 beta 2, so I'm uninstalling it.

Didn't they build this into 3.6?

Well I don't see it anywhere, unless I'm missing something.

Check your UserCP.

Can you please update your hack to work with vBulletin 3.6 ?

Finally, i've found a way by myself...

How to mass select all of the soft deleted posts listed under User CP?

Open your Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Moderation Templates > moderation_posts template:

Find:
$totalposts (the first one)

Add right after $totalposts:

<input type="checkbox" name="allbox" id="checkall_all" title="$vbphrase[check_uncheck_all]" onclick="inlineMod.check_all()" />

By default, only 4 soft deleted posts listed under User CP moderation menu.

How do list X soft deleted posts under User CP moderation menu?

Open your /forum/moderation.php file with your text editor.

Find:

sanitize_pageresults($totalposts, $pagenumber, $perpage, 200, 4);

Change '4' with 'X'... I've changed mine to '100' because of the massive soft deleted posts amount...

Save and upload the edited moderation.php file.

(You may want to revert 100 to 4 after you remove all soft deleted posts)

I suppose this will make it way easier to finally manage the soft deleted posts and now hard delete them if they are useless etc.

Any word when this will be compaitible with 3.6?

This should be a standard feature in the VB prune.
