Ban and Delete feature in Review Comments

[Vadim]

Hi,

I would like to suggest one useful feature in Review Comments
- to add a link "Ban and Delete" near every comment.

When you click on it the comment is deleted and the page is automatically redirected to Banning where in an ip and name input boxes are name and ip of an author of previously deleted comment. All you have to do is to select a banning period.

What do you think?

good point, I'll add it to the todo-list.

Instead of placing a link in front of every comment, won't it be better to add another radio button at the bottom to "Delete comment and ban user" ?

Also, what Vadim has requested won't be possible as if we delete the comment first then the IP address and user id won't be available on banning page and passing IP and username is not a good solution IMO.

Thoughts ?

Yes, this needs to be done in one step. Not sure if we should actually apply it - it would only work on non-bridged coppermine installs anyway. In fact, the banning mechanisms are manifold: ban by IP, move the user account into the banned group would be options. Not sure if we should add all those options on the displayimage.php page. I'd rather suggest adding a link to reviewcom.php with only the comment ID as a parameter in the URL and doing the needed stuff there.
