Mod Request - Authors cannot delete their stories without admin's approval

You will have to mod the stories.php file:

Find the delete() function:

function delete ( ) {

In that function, find:

	else if($confirmed == "yes") {

Replace with:

	else if($confirmed == "yes" && isADMIN) {

(OK, I modded our delete() so I'm not sure how to explain the latter bit/I didn't keep the original function.)

Find:

		$output = write_message(_ACTIONSUCCESSFUL."  ".($admin ? _BACK2ADMIN : viewstories( )));
}
else {

Now, within the else { } bracket, you will need to replace the current code with something like this:

if ($chapid) { # Chapter
 
 if (isADMIN)
  $output .= write_message(_CONFIRMDELETE."<br /><br />[ <a href=""stories.php?action=delete&amp;confirmed=yes&amp;chapid=$chapid&amp;sid=$sid".(!empty($admin)" ? "&amp;admin=1&amp;uid=".$uid : "")."">"._YES."</a> | <a href=""stories.php?action=delete&amp;confirmed=no">"._NO."</a>" ]");
 else
  $output .= write_message("Sorry, you are unable to delete this chapter; please contact the administration.");
  
}
else { # Story
 
 if (isADMIN)
  $output .= write_message(_CONFIRMDELETE."<br /><br />[ <a href=""stories.php?action=delete&amp;confirmed=yes&amp;sid=$sid".(!empty($admin)" ? "&amp;admin=1&amp;uid=".$uid : "")."">"._YES."</a> | <a href=""stories.php?action=delete&amp;confirmed=no">"._NO."</a>" ]");
 else
  $output .= write_message("Sorry, you are unable to delete this submission; please contact the administration.");
 
}

/untested.

This mod isn't exactly what she's looking for.  This will make it so only admins can delete stories.  However, anything else would be very complicated to do.

Ah right, she wants something that will allow the author to delete it if the admin okays it. 😐 Yessss, I imagine that would be pretty complicated. Hopefully, they already found a solution then. ]:
