Setting up a Trash Forum

[Vincent]

VincentU submitted a new resource:

Setting up a Trash Forum (version 1.0) - Set up a Trash Forum

I like to have a trash forum at my site so here's how to do it:

1. Set up a Trash Forum, don't forget to untick "Allow new messages to be posted in this forum".

2. In library\XenForo\Model\Thread.php and In library\XenForo\Model\InlineMod\Thread.php change:

$dw->set('discussion_state', 'deleted');

to

$dw->set('node_id', 'xxx');

3. Change xxx with the ID of your trash forum.

Now, every time you soft-delete a thread it will appear as a...

Good one..
Question: a deleted post would become a thread in trash forum ?
How about deleted profile post ?

Nope, it doesn't.
And I don't want to do it because it is messy and good for nothing

Seems not to be working for me

Edit: Fixed....

Awesome!

What happens if you undelete a post from the trash, will it go back tot he thread/forum it came from?

 

[Moddis]

Just tested and realized that it doesnt actually delete a posts, just moves it to that thread.

Would it be possible to:

• Delete the thread AND move it to the trash forum?
• When moving it, to note from what forum it was moved from?

Thanks.

@Moddis

1. Yes.
2. What do you mean?

@VincentU Do you want me to create a proper addon for this?

Well if I decide to undelete it, I would have to guess which forum to put it back into. So if it could remember where it was moved from some how, that would be awesome.

You mean a redirect?

 

[Moddis]

You mean a redirect?

Im not sure if a permanent redirect can work in that way but basically, if I delete a thread from forum "General Chat", it will get moved to "Trash" forum. So if I decide to restore/undelete it, the thread would know to restore itself in the "General Chat" forum.

I don't think that can happen without a more advanced addon.

Thanks. It does sound pretty complicated.

This would be some much easier if there was a built in option to view all deleted threads in from forums.

Hehe, I'm sorry, but I'm working on this already
My apologies!

 

[Moddis]

Cool!

As a suggestion, a separate page or view (without actually moving those threads from their original forum) that would list all deleted threads from all forums would be AWESOME!

Seems like a clash with XenPorta.

My apologies!

did you actually manage to get this working as i would be very interested in being able to restore moved thread to their original forum section?

 

[phtvs]

Another option is to delete the thread AND move it to the trash forum

find:
$dw->set('discussion_state', 'deleted');
below add (xxx is the node where to move the thread)
$dw->set('node_id', 'xxx');

Change this in both files
In library\XenForo\Model\Thread.php and In library\XenForo\Model\InlineMod\Thread.php

Any guide for XF2.1 equivalent code?
Thanks!
