Moderators Functions - Deleting Thread Require Reason (inline Mode + Normal Mode) included

Hello Every body

in my forums my moderators delete threads without giving a reason so I did this plugin to require deletion reason.

its simple
it takes from me only 2minutes to write it & post the thread, So Installation time may be 60 secs max.

this thread has two parts the first is "Require Deletion Reason" when deleting though inline mode & the second is "Require Deletion Reason" when deleting the thread though the normal mode (from the thread tools itself).

the first is done by the plugin Attached & the second is done by the following Edit for the file "posting.php" coz of there is no hooks can do this.


History:
1.0.0 initial version (24/4/2006)


Installation:
1- import the attached plugin (require deletion reason-en.xml OR require deletion reason-ar.xml) [en => English / ar => Arabic].
2- open the file called posting.php & search in it for the following code (approx. @ line (382-388):

PHP Code:

    $delinfo = array(
        'userid' => $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],
        'username' => $vbulletin->userinfo['username'],
        'reason' => $vbulletin->GPC['deletereason'],
        'keepattachments' => $vbulletin->GPC['keepattachments']
    ); 

& post under it the following code:

PHP Code:

if ( empty($vbulletin->GPC['deletereason']) ) {
eval(standard_error("Please add a deletion reason."));
} 

===> For Arab Users Don't make the Previous edit & do the following only

PHP Code:

if ( empty($vbulletin->GPC['deletereason']) ) {
eval(standard_error("برجاء كتابة سبب الحذف."));
} 

Thats ALL

Don't Forget to press

Hi

I have just tried this, I got the Please add a reason message...
The thing is, i clicked back to edd the message and then clicked
delete again and it said to thread specified or sommat like that...
I then refreshed the page and the thread had been deleted anyway...

So to re-cap...

It asks to add a message but deletes the thread/post anyway lol

I have imported the plugin (as a plugin lol)
I have done the edit to posting.php

Any ideas please?
