Mod Name / Version: Don't delete posts with replies 1.0.0

Description: I've decided that allowing posts with replies to be deleted, and then replacing the post with "deleted" is a silly feature.

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.

Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.2-6.3

Mod Status: Finished

Info/Instructions:

-----

Code
// -------------------------------------------------<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 />      }


Insert after:
-------------

Code
// Don't allow posts with replies to be deleted.<br />      $sth = $dbh -> do_query("<br />         SELECT COUNT(*)<br />         FROM  {$config['tbprefix']}Posts <br />         WHERE B_Parent = '$Number'<br />         AND   B_Board  = '$Board_q'<br />         ");<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 />      }

If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.

Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
