Deleting posts

[iascauk]

Is there any way that the administrator (me), when viewing posts, can delete individual entries (posts) without having to go through the whole process of unselecting each post before i delete?.

ie. can you put a delete post option on each post on display?

Thanks

The most simple way is to alter the template to put the checkbox on default 'no' when by goto to a thread, and from the bottom select admin drop down box 'delete threads/posts' and then click on 'click here to selectivly delete posts'

postings.php?s=&action=deleteposts&threadid=x where threadid is x

The default is yes, you could change it to no.
The template you are looking for is: threads_deletepostsbit

find:

<input type="radio" name="deletepost[$post[postid]]" value="yes" checked> Yes<br>
<input type="radio" name="deletepost[$post[postid]]" value="no"> No</smallfont>

and change that to:

<input type="radio" name="deletepost[$post[postid]]" value="yes"> Yes<br>
<input type="radio" name="deletepost[$post[postid]]" value="no" checked> No</smallfont>

I hope this is what you were looking for

Just click on the 'edit' button for that post. The delete option will be at the top.
