vbThreadSpinner

UPDATE 18/7 22:23 (Dutch Time)

Changelog:

deleted some unnecesary htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities()-calls

Fixed the problem that you couldn't move to a forum in which no threads can be posted.

Only re-upload spinner.php (newly attached) and you're done

Description: This hack allows mods/admins to selectively delete/open/close/move/copy/movewredirect threads in a certain forum at once!

VBversions: tested with 2.01 but will probably work on all versions

Features: Certain features are only shown when the particular mod has the rights for it. EG: When a mod can't close threads the 'close' option won't be shown.

instructions:

1. Download the attached spinner.txt
2. Rename it to spinner.php or spinner.php3
3. Upload it to your mod directory
4. Backup moderator.php in your root directory
5. Open moderator.php
6. Insert:
   
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($action=="spinthreads") {
   
     $permissions=getpermissions();
     if ($permissions[ismoderator]) {
       header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
     } else {
       show_nopermission();
     }
   
   } 
   

   after:
   
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($action=="modattach") {
   
     $permissions=getpermissions();
     if ($permissions[ismoderator] or $ismod=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND canmoderateattachments=1")) {
       header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=moderate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26action=attachments");
     } else {
       show_nopermission();
     }
   
   } 
   

   Note: If you've renamed spinner.txt to spinner.php3 then you have to change
   
   header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
   
   to
   
   header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php3?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
   
   in the above section
   
7. Save moderator.php
8. Edit your forumdisplay_adminoptions template (forumdisplay templates)
   
   and add a new option:
   
   <option value="spinthreads">Spin Threads</option>
   
   so it probably will look something like this:
   
   

   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <form action="moderator.php" method="get"><tr><td>
   <smallfont>
   <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
   <input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid">
   <b>Admin Options:</b><br>
   <select name="action"
   onchange="window.location=('moderator.php?s=$sessi on[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid&action='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
   <option value="modposts" selected>-- Forum Options --</option>
   <option value="modposts">View Posts Queue</option>
   <option value="modattach">View Attachment Queue</option>
   <option value="move">Mass Move</option>
   <option value="prune">Mass Prune</option>
   <option value="spinthreads">Spin Threads</option>
   </select>
   <input type="image" src="images/go.gif" border="0" align="absbottom">
   </smallfont>
   </td></tr></form>
   </table>

That's it! Enjoy

woah power users GO!

Excellent Job! This hack is awsome!

[MHR]

awesome!

[Prezident]

Wow, that is one of the easiest hacks I have ever installed.

Thanks.

[the_sisko]

Nice one, works perfect!
I've uploaded it to admin root and change the redirect to it. To get it work, you need to copy the:
// ###################### Start makemodchoosercode #######################

of your mod/global.php to your admin/global.php

Thx a lot!

Yep, nice addon Mas*Mind!

[dicetomato]

wow, nice hack!

Looks great! Just one minor suggestion - make "do nothing" the default selected if it isn't (I haven't tried it yet, sorry ).
