Inline Moderation Tools (v1.2.1)

Note: Development of this hack has stopped.
The built-in version is far superior to this hack and has better controls and permission checking. For those of you who will remain on 3.0.x, I will try to support this hack as best I can, but it won't be a top priority. If you plan on moving to 3.5, I hope this hack made your life a little bit easier while you waited .

Current Version: 1.2.1 (Wed Dec 11 15:26:30 PDT 2004)

What this is?
This hack will allow you and your moderators to do your job more effectively by allowing you to mass-moderate. You can perform the same action on multiple threads and posts without leaving the current page!

What is required?
In order to use this hack, you must have cookies and JavaScript enabled! If you don't, this hack will not work. (Note: there is no "alternative display" for people without JavaScript enabled).

How many changes?
Uploads: 2
File edits: 2
And template additions/edits

Support
I will provide all support here in this thread.

Bugs
I have thoroughly tested this hack with as many different combinations I could think of. But I probably have either over looked one or two, or just didn't think of some. If you find any odd behaviour, please let me know!

Changes Since

• 1.2.0
  • Fixed problems with merging threads
  • Enhancement to the merge thread screen
• 1.1.0
  • (Hopefully) resolved all JavaScript issues

  • Selection boxes only appear when a user is a moderator

I haven't tested it out fully, but this hack seems to work good except for a few minor bugs: During the install one of the template modifications says to modify FORUMHOME, but thats actually supposed to be FORUMDISPLAY. Also, the colspan of announcements is not increased when it should be.

Good work tho, I'm going to continue using it.

Works on 3.0.0. Would make things easier. ^_^ Thank you.

/me clicks install

EDIT: You could add this to the search thread thing since the checkbox appears there too. *shrugs* just a suggestion.
