Undeletable

[emanuele]

Link to Mod

This mod allows set topics, personal messages and members as "undeletable" (short for protect from (accidental) deletion).

Once marked as "undeletable" it will be impossible to delete any of them with the usual tools provided by SMF, the only way is to remove the attribute and let them return "deletable".

The mod provides separated permission for each action:

• set topic "undeletable"
• set topic "deletable"
• set member "undeletable"/"deletable"
• set personal messages "undeletable"/"deletable"

For topics a new button is present at the end of each page, next to the usual moderation tools (Move, Remove, etc.).
For personal messages a button is present next the delete button.
For members a checkbox can be found in the Account Settings (or "Account Related Settings" for SMF 1.1.x) page of each member's profile.

For SMF 1.1.x users
If you want to completely remove any trace of the mod, please use the uninstall script provided at the mod's page. Before using this script, please uninstall the main package, delete it from the server and then upload the uninstall package and run it.

I've been waiting for so long for a mod like this. Thank you mate.. .

Can I emulate this to RC3?

[emanuele]

It should work with RC4 (since I started developing it with that version), but I removed the option from the installer. Regarding RC3 I've never tried and I really don't know (and don't want to know ).

[ACAMS]

Well it had too many errors and I am not gonna mess up my whole forum updating to RC5, so I guess I will have to do without this until a solid 2.0 is released.

Very nice mod!

Thanks, I'll add it when I'll do the next update (most likely to mark it compatible with 2.0 final ).

Some of the strings are longer because of complexity of our language...

[emanuele]

Thanks, I'll add it.

In fact I should try to change the name to some easier to describe...

I have this installed on my 2.0 forum and everything works fine except for the Function for Undeletable PM's.


Upon Viewing PMS the Following error is recorded in my error log.

8: Undefined index: undeletable
File: ../Sources/PersonalMessage.php
Line: 756

This is the Line of Code it is referring to :

Code Select Expand

$context['show_remove'][$row['id_pm']] = !$row['undeletable'];

and the section of code this contained within.....

Code Select Expand

// Load the id_pms and initialize recipients.
$pms = array();
$lastData = array();
$posters = $context['folder'] == 'sent' ? array($user_info['id']) : array();
$recipients = array();

while ($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request))
{
if (!isset($recipients[$row['id_pm']]))
{
if (isset($row['id_member_from']))
$posters[$row['id_pm']] = $row['id_member_from'];
$context['show_remove'][$row['id_pm']] = !$row['undeletable'];
$pms[$row['id_pm']] = $row['id_pm'];
$recipients[$row['id_pm']] = array(
'to' => array(),
'bcc' => array()
);
}

I have checked & double checked that all modifications made by this mod are in-place and everything seem to be fine.

Any help with this would be appreciated......

[emanuele]

Did you install it manually?
Please check if all the columns (4 all named "undeletable" in the 4 tables smf_topics, smf_personal_messages, smf_pm_recipients, smf_members) in the database have been created properly.

This or verify that the query about 40 lines above the error contains the modification needed, it should be:

Code Select Expand

$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT pm.id_pm, pm.id_pm_head, pm.id_member_from, ' . ($context['folder'] == 'sent' ? 'pm.undeletable' : 'pmr.undeletable') . '

[Xenmorph]

Code Select Expand

// !!!SLOW This query uses a filesort. (inbox only.)
$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT pm.id_pm, pm.id_pm_head, pm.id_member_from, ' . ($context['folder'] == 'sent' ? 'pm.undeletable' : 'pmr.undeletable') . '

Yup that line is there as you stated it should be....

I have looked at Database and the fields you refer to appear to be in-place ( Screenshots attached )

The package was installed Using the Package manager, The only manual file edit I had to make was :

./Sources/Display.php

Manually edited this Line due other Mods....

Code Select Expand

t.num_replies, t.num_views, t.locked, ms.subject, t.is_sticky, t.id_poll,

So my Line in Display.php is actualy :

Code Select Expand

t.num_replies, t.num_views, t.locked, ms.subject, t.is_sticky, t.is_solved, t.id_poll, t.undeletable,


Also attaching my PersonalMessage.php file just in case.....

[emanuele]

Everything seems fine, in all honesty I've no idea why you get this error.

BTW, replacing:

Code Select Expand

$context['show_remove'][$row['id_pm']] = !$row['undeletable'];

with:

Code Select Expand

$context['show_remove'][$row['id_pm']] = empty($row['undeletable']);

should fix it.

Thanks for that, that small change seems to have fixed things.

[emanuele]

Good, I'll include it at the next update.

[pierrelogic]

I just wanted to thank emanuele for this mod.  I stumbled upon it by accident.  Perfect for my forum(s).

I did get the same test failed on normal install thru package manager in the index.css and two in the PersonalMessage.php noted above.  Emulating to earlier version of SMF had no real effect but thought it was worth a shot.  A manual 'adjustment' to those 2 files in 3 places and it installed like clockwork. Works great & very handy mod!!

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

A tiny bump for this awesome mod that is able to fix a "vulnerability" in SMF IMHO. If you ever hire a moderator and you give him the power to delete accounts (of course otherwise he wouldn't be able to ban and delete people) and this guy wants to somehow betray you then with this mod you are safe by correctly setting up the permissions
Like I said, IMHO.
And of course thank you emanuele

[Caracal]

Running 2.0.15. Installs fine and everything. Everything works besides marking the topics undeletable or deletable the button where move lock and sticky the topics should be the button isn't showing up. Ran it on a test forum with fresh install and the same witn no mods installed.
