Trash Can

[Rοb]

Just a couple of small suggestions...

1

1. You delete an entire forum (which has several sub-forums) and send the lot to the "Trash Can" forum.

2. You then empty the trash can.

STOP... you can't do that because there's no option to "mass delete" sub-forums & posts!

This has happened a couple of times to me whilst re-organising my forums.

I would like to see an option to properly empty the "Trash Can" forum (or any other for that matter) where it is possible to delete an entire forum (including sub-forums) with one click instead of doing them one by one...

"Trash Can Task". Automatically delete the trashcan contents every X days with (obviously) the option to enable/disable the task and change the # of days.

I don;t think there is a task for removing the trash but you can already remove everything from there. Just select prune/mass move from the options menu, make sure prune only/don't move is selected and then remove the not if pinned topic tick, and click check form submission and it'll delete all the topics in there.

+1 ;)

It's really annoying to enter ACP then click Management tab, then click the dropdown image next to the forum, and click "Empty Forum..." >_<

I'm talking about removing the actual forum itself (including sub-forum(s)), not just the topics/posts inside :)

I agree, a way to recursively delete sub-forums and posts would be nice!

Does the "Empty Forum" ACP option delete sub forums? I didn't think it did.

Nope. You have to do them all individually which can be pretty time consuming if there are a few.

Personally, I'd like to see the ability to do that. Typically trash cans don't get purged, especially not automatically, unless you use a task. Allowing the "empty" button to allow the destruction recursively (optional the the user default to no) would make things easier on me, especially when reusing development forums databases :P
