Moderation menu on search results

[dyelton]

It would be helpful if you could provide the moderation menu on search results so that you can perform actions on them. Right now you cant do that.

It could also be a LOT more resource intensive, due to the fact that the forum isn't static for all topics in a search result..

[dyelton]

Perhaps have the option to make it available to certain groups only (i.e. administrators only).

[bfarber]

Well, it certainly would only be available to the groups that can access it now. When I say a lot more resource intensive, I don't mean it's horrible or anything like that - but all the forum stuff would have to get sorted on a per record basis, whereas in a topic environment it's global for all the records.

Then you'd have to update each forum that was changed individually.

How many queries are we talking here?

but how will you change the color of admin/member/rootadmin or ECT..to red or whatever you want color

Go away. That's nothing to do with this topic.

On topic of the request, what about the basic moderation options available from search. Such as Delete, Edit, and Lock. IMO it's a pretty good middle ground.

Be gone with you!

Bfarber how many queries would this add to the view new page and how many total queries would adding this result in?

Delete, edit and lock still require the forums to be updated, and the individual forums to be parsed, so it wouldn't change anything. Though not pulling in the multi-mod stuff would help.

I can't really answer that without adding the functionality in. If completely overhauled to do it properly, possibly 1-3 on display, but probably significantly more when parsed on the backend. Since each topic is in/could be in it's own forum, you'd have to run a query to find out what forum each topic was in (1 query using an IN statement). Then, after you edit/delete/lock each topic, you'd have to update each forum (which would be one query per forum, plus you'd have to update the forum cache).

I honestly can't answer definitively...I know the moderator and func_mod files would need to be severely overhauled as they rely upon one forum per page load, and would need to support one forum per operation.

Sounds like a lot of work would need to be done. Well by the time we are at 3.0 perhaps you will find out an easier way to do this. Until then...*cries*.

+1.

It's really a good idea and we talk about it more than a year. I think it a must have function in next release.
