|
|
I have a dozen or so mods and I have over 50 forums -
I no longer want any of my mods to be able to delete posts -
I do not want to go into my ACP and click permissions and change every single delete option manually to "Admin" for every forum I have -
Does anyone know of a way I can do something server side (like pasting a single query or something) - thanks - |

Admin Overall Forums Permission
This hack allow Admins to set permissions of all forums with only-one-mouse-click. Very useful for beginners. _________________ Image link

wasn't all that great - changed all my staff and admin forums to "reg" so it wasn't until a basic member PMed me 5 minutes ago to let me know he could see things that he shouldn't - a simple querry would have worked for me - guess not too many people on this site yet - |

An alternative can be to set up a hidden forum where all deleted posts go too, instead of disappearing. This way you can see exactly who removes what. _________________ phpBB2 will never die, I hope! |

You can first change all your forums to what you want the majority to be, and then, change only the special ones to only for moderators/ admins or whatever... It's still, a great spare of time.

He can use Move Post Instead of Deleting. And if he wants to see who deleted what, he should replace this:
Code: | VALUES (".(int) $board_config['delete_post_forum'].", '".sprintf($lang['Deleted_post_from_topic'], $topic_title)."', ".$post_data['poster_id'].", |
with this:
Code: | VALUES (".(int) $board_config['delete_post_forum'].", '".sprintf($lang['Deleted_post_from_topic'], $topic_id) . " - " . $userdata['username']."', ".$post_data['poster_id'].", |
He will see topic ID and the name of who deleted, instead of the name of the subject. I also tryed to see the name of the topic (name+ID+nickname), but from some weird reason, didn't figure it out so far... _________________ Image link

Thanks guys, I had a "Pull and Paste" forum set up a long time ago so if a mod saw something that was questionable, he could just move the post out of the public eye so I could review it later - fact is though, there is almost zero posts that need to be deleted on my board, and any one of the staff members can easily get a hold of me at anytime if there is -
therefore, there is no reason for any of the staff to ever delete another post - I was hoping to simply paste a query to change that specific permission on all forums so that posts can no longer be deleted by a mod - that was all - it's done now though so I'm happy - thanks again - |
