I've decided that allowing posts with replies to be deleted, and then replacing the post with "deleted" is a silly feature.<br /><br />Here's a simple way to prevent posts with replies from being deleted. If someone wants to get rid of a post that has replies, he is forced to edit it instead, and hopefully leave an explanatory note. Or else he can contact a moderator or administrator to deal with it.<br /><br />[6.2.3]<br /><br />modifypost.php<br /><br />Find:<br />-----<br /><br />
// -------------------------------------------------<br />// Otherwise we are deleting the post so do this sub<br /> elseif ($peditdelete) {<br /><br /> if (!$user['U_Username']) {<br /> $html -> not_right ($ubbt_lang['NO_AUTH'],$Cat);<br /> }<br /><br />Insert after:<br />-------------<br /><br />
$query = "<br /> SELECT COUNT(*)<br /> FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Posts <br /> WHERE B_Parent = '$Number'<br /> AND B_Board = '$Board_q'<br /> ";<br /> $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br /> list($num_replies) = $dbh -> mysql_fetch_row($sth); <br /> $dbh -> finish_sth($sth);<br /><br /> if ($num_replies > 0) {<br /> $html -> not_right("You may not delete this post, because it has replies.",$Cat);<br /> }<br />
