How can I add an Expiry Date to threads?

[kinggori]

Hi guys,

I run a shopping deals and coupons forum and I'd like to give members the ability to add an expiry date to a coupon (thread) when posting a new thread. When we reach that expiry date the thread then automatically gets moved to an "Expired Coupons" section.

Any idea how I could implement this, where I could get started or if there are any mods out there that could help me implement this?

I'm also willing to pay a programmer to help me implement this.

Thanks

I've never heard of a mod that does this, but it wouldn't be too difficult to implement. You would really just need to add the new field to the new thread template and backend and then set up a cron to run every few hours, closing threads whose times have expired.
