Post Flagging

[Wormopolis]

Browser Tested: IE and FF
placement: global footer

Puts a "flag" button above each post for mods/admins that have modifypost access. flags the post to be unreadable by anyone without staff access, and creates a PM to the admins that a post has been flagged for review. creates a link in the PM to the offensive post.

Preview:
What a user with an admin button would see:

there are "flag" and "unflag" buttons at the top right of the posts.

What user "test" would see:


Mods with ability to modify posts, but do not have admin buttons would see the flag button, but posts would look like what user "test" would see.

[Wormopolis]

updated with an "unflag" button and variable to hide delete button from flagged posts (except by author).

[Wormopolis]

updated code to work with view recent replies.

[Dragon]

So Worm this code could work so any old posts could be flagged too? Like we just now add it, and a mod sees a reason to flag a post.... Theyd be able to do that?
And just so were clear, Im asking whether the code only works within the first couple days of a new post or if it could be used to flag a post at any time.

[Wormopolis]

works on any post any time.

[Dragon]

Cool thatll be good for me then

[Wormopolis]

that was one of those codes that was rendered half-useless when PB added the report to mod feature.

[Dragon]

Hmm well there seems to be a measure of error with it Worm. Apparently when I have it up, it makes it impossible for me to directly modify a post. It replaces the line where that is with flag and quote...... which does me little good since I need to directly modify it soemtimes

[Wormopolis]

var hideModifyBtn = true;

what is that set to?

[Dragon]

True I believe.

[Wormopolis]

what hapens if you change it to false?
