disable delete for moderators

Hello everybody.

I need to disable the "delete post" function for moderators, if possible keep it alive for admins, which is the easiest way to do it?

Thank you very much.

One basic way could be to edit the templates (list*.tpl and read*tpl, possibly some control center stuff too) and simply hide the delete links. That won't disable it functionally, but it would take a really evil moderator to forge and call the delete URLs manually. You can use some conditional code to hide the link for non admins.

{IF USER->admin}...show delete link...{/IF}

great, thanks a million!

by the way, is there an easy way to disable this functionality directly in the code? chanching this issue in each template is not a good solution when you have more than 20 different templates ;)

You want the link to be not visible in the interface I think. Otherwise you're offering a feature that doesn't work to the mods. The most basic solution to hide the link would be to override the related language string with an empty string from a bit of module code in case the user is not an admin.
