Modification Name: Recycle Bin Author(s): Brett Description: This hack will place any deleted topic or reply in a forum that you create for this aspect. The Recycle bin can be toggled off/on in the control panel. Any topic or reply deleted or edited by a user, Moderated, or administrator is going to be moved to the recycle bin forum. If you delete a topic from a recycle bin it will be deleted forever. Demo: http://www.pavioni.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi/forum/6.html Download Link: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00006378/Recycle6.7.txt Credits: wwb95 Afterwards, you will need to set which forum would be your actual recycle bin in the Primary Settings -> General Tab, under the Recycle Bin expandy tab. Remember, although the forum you select as the recycle bin will store the messages, the forum still has the same permissions as before. If you have it set to allow new topics, it will still be able to add them.

This sounds like an awesome hack, I can't wait to give it a test drive!
The thing that I'm wondering about is how difficult it would be to exclude user's edits from being copied into the recycle bin. With the number of users on a large board, a recycle bin is going to start filling up mighty quick.
Keeping copies of posts that an admin, mega, or moderator deletes or edits is a good way to ensure responsible judgement calls and accountability. Personally, its not important to me if a member decided to edit his/her own post.
Anyhow, sorry about the critique-- this really is a good idea. Thanks!

Just to exclude editing? Yes, that is an option added to the control panel, along with options to exclude from transfering, deleting, and closing/opening topics.

Awesome! Actually, I was hoping that edits done by authorites would transfer, whereas users just editing their own posts would be ignored.
But still, this is a great hack! Happy birthday, by the way.

hmmm... the download doesn't seem to be working-- the file downloads as "Recycle6[2].7.txt", and has "ÿþ*" on the first line, followed by 456 lines of nothing.

Strange, it works on my office computer. Maybe try clearing your internet cache and temp files, and try again?

Brett, it's the same "non-visible characters" error that the other file had.

Brett, I installed this and I have a couple requests.
1. Could you make it so the topic in the recycle bin doesn't show the post total of the edited topic? The thread you make only has one post, but it thinks it has 130, meaning a bunch of page links that go nowhere

Other than that this hack seems to work great. Works perfect on 6.6 just to let you know. There was just one step that was a little different on what you needed to find. One of the lines in the find wasnt there but the others were. Edit: I also noticed if you edit at least the first post in a thread that is sticky the one in the new forum is also sticky.

I'd still like to see it just move the topic to the recycle bin if an entire topic was deleted

Or maybe add the post info as the second post in the thread so that you can delete the post and move the thread back. Becuase right now you cant move the thread back if you want becuase its got that info post at the top which you cant delete without deleteing the thread.

$def->{options} = @selectlist if("$file-_-$name" ne 'vars_misc-_-recycle' && "$file-_-$name" ne "vars_misc-_-default_announcement_forum");Please refrain from posting the same post twice, we would've found them either way

On this mod drop down on the CP, is it possible that the room I choosed will show first on the drop down? it'll be more convenient couse every time I make any change under the General tab I have to choose the room again
Thanks

This step seems to conflict with the announcement forum modification. This step: ########################################################
###Open cp2_lib.cgi
########################################################
########
# find #
########
$def->{options} = @selectlist;
################
# replace with #
################
$def->{options} = @selectlist if("$file-_-$name" ne 'vars_misc-_-recycle'); Announcement forum mod has: $def->{options} = @selectlist if("$file-_-$name" ne "vars_misc-_-default_announcement_forum");How do you have both?
