Post subject:  Delete button on frontend hack

I have modified two files and have created a "Trash" button on the front end so users can delete their own articles. If anyone is interested, the hack is posted below (please back up each file mentioned before changing them):

Open components\com_content\content.php and under this line:
Code:
case 'save':


Add this line:
Code:
// Trash hack
case 'remove':
    removeContent( $id, $sectionid, $option );
    break;
//End Trash hack


Then add this code after the 'SaveContent()" function, around line 1450

Code:
// RemoveContent hack
function removeContent( $id, $sectionid, $option ) {
   global $database;

   $state = '-2';
   $ordering = '0';
   //seperate contentids
   
   $query = "UPDATE #__content"
   . "\n SET state = $state, ordering = $ordering"
   . "\n WHERE id = $id"
   ;
   $database->setQuery( $query );
   if ( !$database->query() ) {
      echo "<script> alert('".$database->getErrorMsg()."'); window.history.go(-1); </script>\n";
      exit();
   }

   $msg = $total ." Item(s) sent to the Trash";
   $return = mosGetParam( $_POST, 'returntask', '' );
   mosRedirect( 'index.php' );
}

// End Remove Content Hack



Save the file.

Now open includes\HTML_toolbar.php, add this code after the savenew() function. Around line 305.
Code:
/**
   * Write a trash button that will move items to Trash Manager
   */
   function trash () {
      $image = mosAdminMenus::ImageCheck( 'delete_f2.png', '/administrator/images/', NULL, NULL, 'Trash', 'remove', 1 );
      
         $js = "javascript:if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this item?')){ submitbutton('remove');}";
   
      
      ?>
       <td>
         <a class="toolbar" href="<?php echo $js; ?>">
            <?php echo $image; ?></a>
      </td>
      <?php
   }


Save the file.

Now open components\com_content\content.html.php. Add this code after mosToolBar::apply( 'apply_new' );

Code:
// Add Trash button
mosToolBar::trash();
// End Trash Button


Your code should look like this for the toolbar:

Code:
// Toolbar Top
mosToolBar::startTable();
mosToolBar::save();
mosToolBar::apply( 'apply_new' );
// Add Trash button
mosToolBar::trash();
// End Trash Button
mosToolBar::cancel();
mosToolBar::endtable();


Hope this helps people out.

Silver
