Very nice!

[WhaLberg]

Rated 'Excellent'.

Reserved this mod for future use.

[elmati]

wow, very nice. ill test this one...
just what im waitin for!

*Clicks install

[Get Shorty]

Installed with no problems at all on a modified board.

[johnrizz]

Isn't this the same as soft delete?

[Get Shorty]

Isn't this the same as soft delete?

No. It doesn't actually delete the threads. It just moves them to a designated forum.

[AzzidReign]

This is what I've been waiting for! I use to run an IPB board and I liked how when you deleted a thread, it would be moved to a forum (if you wanted). I loved that feature.

Anyways, thanks for this mod! I'll be installing it later tonight!

*Clicks install

[COBRAws]

A little more information please? Can we set default trash forums for diferent forums?

There are already 2 different hacks for this, one acting as a general "trash" forum (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=106327) and one with the ability of having different trash forums (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=138106).

[NolF]

There is a bug with the polls when I enable this hack.
Not sure as why this happens but I hope the picture explains it better than words.

The upper poll is with the hack installed but disabled (normal poll behavior), while the lower one us with the hack enabled. As you can see it doesn't work right. [see attach img]

If you need anything, I'll try to help us much as possible :)

This is a great hack, I've been looking for something similar to this.

[TheBlackPoet]

very cool... installed and rated excellent!!

[LadyHoney]

when that bug is fixed im definately interested in this mod!!!

[NolF]

The bug seems to be placed on the plugin called "Edit Template (showthread)". When disabled the polls show correctly ^^

[Snake]

Uhh what is this? I have already made a hack such as this one. :\

*looks at sig*

[Lionel]

I've got an issue with this addon. When enabled, no poll option displays.

[Lionel]

I think it's because it is using $option which is reserved for the poll

[Lionel]

yeah! I replaced $option with $trashoption and that fixed it

plugin: Edit Template (showthread)

if ($threadinfo['forumid'] != $vbulletin->options['vbtrash_forumid'] AND (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',', $vbulletin->options['vbtrash_usergroups'])) OR ($vbulletin->options['vbtrash_modallow'] == 1 AND can_moderate($foruminfo['forumid'], '', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))))
{
$trashoption = '<div><label for="ao_vbt"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_vbt" value="trash" />' . $vbphrase[vbtrash_movet] . '</label></div>';
$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace(
'$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>',
'$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>$trashoption',
$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']
);
}

[Charlie98902]

So is the official code updated now? I'm interested in this myself.

[Get Shorty]

yeah! I replaced $option with $trashoption and that fixed it

plugin: Edit Template (showthread)

There are four instances of $option in the xml. I changed them all to $trashoption and it works perfectly now.

Thanks!

[Get Shorty]

So is the official code updated now? I'm interested in this myself.

The code isn't updated, but it's simple to change until the author releases it.

Just find & replace all instances of $option with $trashoption in the XML file.

[fsakbas]

cool. thanks a lot.

i'd like to trash single posts.

i'd like to trash single posts.
That would make it unmanageable. Use soft delete for that instead.

Hack Updated!
Version 1.1 (20 Apr 2007)
- Fixed Poll Bug

[Red Matrix]

You're a big help GetShorty!

[C_P]

I just installed this 1.1 version after creating a forum called Thread Review. I set the vB options for this to point to that forum and set permissions in the 'vbTrash' options. I then created a test thread and sent it to Trash Thread. I clicked on Thread Review link and receive:
Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/cpfools/public_html/forum/forumdisplay.php(106) : eval()'d code on line 54
Now, if I select the Go To Last Post arrow, I can see this post. However, when I attempt to delete it, I get Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/cpfools/public_html/forum/forumdisplay.php(106) : eval()'d code on line 54
again. It does delete the post, but these errors are an issue.
Here is the thread:
http://www.cpfools.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=97
Note, you too will receive an error.
http://www.cpfools.com/forum does not show the error

[Charlie98902]

That would make it unmanageable. Use soft delete for that instead.

[Charlie98902]

I wished I can help but still learning this stuff the XML files are my favorite as I really hate coding, that's one of the reasons I moved from PHP to vb. Maybe Dismounted can assist you.

[Dotara]

I'm a little bit confused. Like I created a category call Trash and a forum call Trash under it but I don't know the forum ID. How do I know the forum ID for Trash? Pardon me for my silly Q. I'm new at VB.

Go into the admin panel click to edit the trash thread oe thread you want to send to and look at the top of that to get the ID for the thread.

[C_P]

You can also hold your cursor over the thread title and the ending number of the url will show the ID as well. Example will show url of your board and then f=(Forum ID number)

[Dotara]

Hi,

I got that. Thank you very much Charlie and C_P.

[Get Shorty]

Just in case anyone is wondering, this works just fine with vbSEO installed.

[gg_luna128]

Suggestion/Feature:

It will be really really useful to have an option to move an X number of selected posts, click on mod options, "Trash posts", and then let us choose a name for the thread created with that posts.

[Dismounted]

What hacks do you have installed? Judging from the error, I reckon another hack is using the variable $replace as a string instead of an array.

Again, this would make it really unmanageable. But I'll have a look at it.

[Factory Ten]

This mod is great! I like it so far. Just wondering if it would be possible to automatically close the threads when they get trashed.

[Dismounted]

It would be possible, but an easier way would be just to set the option 'Allow New Posts' in the trash forum to no.

[akulion]

ill tag this for future installation

thanks for the nice mod:)

[C_P]

Well, thank you for the suggestion but since I have a few modifications added to this board and this hack does not like one, I will be clicking uninstall. Maybe if someone has another one I will try it.
Thanks anyway.

[BadgerDog]

Installed... thanks..... :)

A small point ....

The "Trash Thread" option appears in the moderation drop down box (bottom) when you view the entire forum and in the top drop down thread tools when you view from within the thread, but not in the drop down moderation options at the bottom when viewing from within a thread?

For consistency, can that be added?

Regards,
Badger

No, because this hack doesn't trash individual posts.

[C_P]

Maybe if you aren't so impatient, we could work out your problem.

Hey, I am all for you looking into this however, as I stated I have several modifications on my site and no less than nothing about coding and not sure I have time to go through one by one to see what may be the cause. If you would like to check this out on my site PM me and we can see. This may also help you modify this so others can use it as you may find the culprit and adjust your code accordingly for others.
Let me know as I am willing to give it a shot.

[Dismounted]

Hack Updated!

22/04/2007 - Version 1.2
- Fixed Non-Array Bug

Note: You only need to upgrade if you are getting errors.

[C_P]

Thanks much for the fix and all is working now. CLicking install and suggesting this should be added to bas product as we all need a Forum for topics that need review!

[LadyHoney]

i installed product thru admin cp... i set the admin cp settings. . none of the options are showing .. i reinstalled .. .same problem would love to use this product. Im not getting any errors just no options

I am using vbulletlin 3.65

[Dismounted]

PM me with your forum's url and login details for an admin account and I'll check it out for you.

[Majest]

Great hack.

*Installed

[Invalid ID]

Does it effect the post counter?

[Dismounted]

No, it doesn't.

[petertdavis]

Very nice, my mods love it..... and they want more. ;)

They're asking if it can be made to do posts as well as threads.

Would be a big helper when we get those spammers who like to spam existing threads instead of making new ones.

[Dismounted]

Wouldn't soft-delete work in those cases?

[petertdavis]

Well, soft-delete is another way of handling it, but everyone is really liking how the 'trash' function sends the thread away and wanting the same function for posts.

[Dismounted]

I'll have a think about how not to make it messy :p.

[Sophonax]

/me subscribes.

In other words, bookmarked. =) Thanks for the awesome mod.

[Terrasoft]

Hi, I just recently installed this and I noticed that if a staff member aside from admins "trash" a thread, it leaves a redirect. I turned the disable hard delete to off and I still am having this issue. I was wondering if there was a way to make it so it doesnt redirect so the forum will be cleaned out without all those redirects.

[Dismounted]

Hmmm, it shouldn't leave a redirect. I'll look into it.

[Terrasoft]

Except for the admin usergroup, I had set forum moderators to be allowed to trash threads and that happened.

[BadgerDog]

Anyone else having a problem "Emptying Trash"?

I check the option and execute it, don't get a confirmation box or anything at all. Instead, I get this IE display error:

Line: 842
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://www.xxx.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4&daysprune=1&order=desc&sort=lastpost


I'm able to select posts and move them to the trash forum, but not empty the trash from the forum using the "tools" drop down" selection.

Thanks .. :)

Regards,
Badger

[thedvs]

Is it possible to have the trash option when viewing a thread with lots of posts, so that say,
eg: post #4 has bad links/offensive, so it can be trashed?
I don't see one in mine..

You cannot trash individual posts, and I do not have it planned as I'm running short of time.

[BadgerDog]

I cannot reproduce this error.



Thanks....

I tried to uninstall and re-install the mod, but I still get an IE error, just for the "Trash Bin" forum.

to bad:(
my staff use to trash individual posts on my old SMF board :erm:

[Dismounted]

And how did SMF manage these posts? Create a new thread for each trashed post?

[djilou]

yes! it's not a MOD it's built in

[Dismounted]

What a nightmare! I can already imagine random threads scattered everywhere just for one post...

[AllenSam]

I would like to see 'trash single posts' too...It wouldn't matter if it got messy, it's a trash forum...trash is supposed to be messy. :p

At my forum, we don't delete anything, even spam, we just send it to trash. If it's a single post, it comes up as a new thread in the trash forum.

[hddstudio]

*Still wishing for update for single Post deletion to Trash*

[nyunyu]

great hack! looking for this the whole while..finally. Thanks

[Arbit3r]

Great thanks!

[papill0n]

Nice mod thanks but but would be soooo much nicer if it had single post deletion :)

[Empoeq]

thanks

[archonus]

no work for me... overwrite mod permissions (delete all only leave "move to trash")

[KURTZ]

Dismounted, i love your hacks, any chance to get this onto 3.7.x?

[Dismounted]

Dismounted, i love your hacks, any chance to get this onto 3.7.x?
Thanks. I haven't had a chance to play with 3.7 yet, so I don't have any ETAs. But they will get there eventually.

[XxBuLLeTz]

good hack...thanks a lot:D

[RvG2]

anyone got any probs in 3.7? :)

[Dismounted]

I have not tried installing it on vBulletin 3.7 yet.

[RvG2]

installed in 3.7 and works fine.

[Dismounted]

Thanks for letting me know. :)

[Mrdby]

The main purpose of this hack is?

[Dismounted]

Moves selected threads to "trash" forum, and allows you to empty the trash forum with one click.

[Gersfan]

Does this delete from your forum stats, If you trash 1000 posts does your stats go back down 1000 posts if you trash the trash..?

Thanks, Great mod!

[Dismounted]

If you set the trash forum to not count in post counts, yes.

[SEdwards1]

yeah, im going to be using this :)

[Charlie98902]

Just so everyone knows this works just fine with 3.7.0 gold.

[Dismounted]

Thanks for letting me know.

[Charlie98902]

Anytime this indeed is a great mod to have. Might want to port it over in that section now too?

[Dismounted]

I need to test everything myself before I feel happy to post it over there.

[Big Boss]

Is this going to work fine on 3.7.x I wonder?

[echo2kk5]

I have it installed on 3.7 Gold and it works perfectly. :)

[Charlie98902]

I am using it right now on 3.7.0.

[ShadowOne]

i have a custom skin where i click thread tools and it brings me to the bottom to choose... and trash thread does not appear...is there a piece of coding i can add to the dropdown list maybe?

[ShadowOne]

okay well i did get it to work...i added this to my showthread template...

<option value="trash">$vbphrase[vbtrash_movet]</option>

is there a condition i need to wrap around it or will the rest of the hack do that automaticly?

[Dismounted]

Check in the XML file, I believe you need to add a conditional to prevent it from showing to any user (we wouldn't want that! ;)).

[Deadly Assassin]

Brilliant :up:

[GhOsTxX]

i would love to use, but it doesnt seem to wanna work. Like it doesnt even show up in the drop down menu. any help?

[xoclanes]

i would love to use, but it doesnt seem to wanna work. Like it doesnt even show up in the drop down menu. any help?

same problem

[xoclanes]

I unistalled and installed again and its works only for thread but no for post...is that normal?

[Dismounted]

You can only "trash" threads.

[car20]

dear Dismounted
can i use this mod for vb 3.7.2?

[Dismounted]

If you read a few posts up...it should work.

[car20]

thanks alot . installed

[tazzarkin]

So, this could be almost like a Modification Graveyard?

[Dismounted]

Yep.

[KAWIE1]

Thanks, I will try this on my 3.6.8

[m002.p]

Fantastic but simple mod. Congratulations & will look forward to an official 3.7 release.

Installed

[EagleNick]

Would you be able to add a feature to Trash a Post, too?

Other than that, I love this Mod ;)

m002, it works fine on 3.7. (I'm using it on 3.7.2PL1)

[ArnyVee]

Is there a way to change the verbiage "trash threads" to something else?

I have a 'already used news' forum for items that have been reported on the forums already but we receive another RSS feed for the same item.

I'd like to change it to "already used" or "already used news". Any thoughts?

[deadlySniper]

Will this mod work on 3.7.x and 3.8.0?

[Dismounted]

As the poster a few posts up mentioned, yes, it should work.

[RvG2]

Thanks for letting me know. :)

has some phrase problem in 3.8. any hints? :o

[Dismounted]

What phrase problems?

[zefyx]

What phrase problems?

In vBulletin 3.8.0 where normally "Trash Thread" would show up (moderation dropdown) you see nothing but blank white space. Setting still works, simply white space though (no text).

[Dismounted]

I have not tested the modification on 3.8, but I will see if I get the time to do so some time soon.

hi

[Dismounted]

Then it is not a problem with this modification - but with the other modification.

[EagleNick]

Would you be able to add a feature to Trash a Post, too?

Other than that, I love this Mod ;)

Any plans/intentions?

[Sunka]

Any plans/intentions?

I am wondering too..
vBTrash for posts and topics...in vB v3.8.2

[Stormlilly]

I am wondering the same thing. I am setting up a moderator system and want our moderators to be able to use a "move to trash" option rather than the soft delete system. This way all of the deleted content is moved to one place where it can be reviewed.

This option currently only moves threads to trash, can this be tweaked to move the posts as well?

Or does someone know of a similar solution?

Thanks for your help. :)

[Dismounted]

Any plans/intentions?
As always - it'll be done when it's done. :)
This option currently only moves threads to trash, can this be tweaked to move the posts as well?
I don't understand what you're trying to say? Any posts inside that thread will be moved along with the thread when it is trashed.

[Sunka]

I don't understand what you're trying to say? Any posts inside that thread will be moved along with the thread when it is trashed.

No, no....
Option to move just some post to Trash, not whole thread if we do not need.

[Dismounted]

No, no....
Option to move just some post to Trash, not whole thread if we do not need.
I wasn't quoting you... I saw your post, and replied to the parent post.

[RTMdotORG]

this works fine for me with 3.8...
this would be hard to move post to trash....
cuz you'd have to make a thead just to move posts too...
basically its a whole new modification..

[Jamey]

So this does work with 3.8.4?

[Charlie98902]

I have been using this since you first released it. Is there any way to update it for vb4? I'll gladly test for you.

Thanks

[xoclanes]

any updates to make it work with vB 4?

[Shogo]

any updates to make it work with vB 4?

+1
really need it!

[KyleWhitey]

Works on 3.8.2 thanks

[Macindy]

Does this plugin work with 4.0.4?
