Automatic Thread Closing

[ralle89]

Hello guys this is my first mod ported for 3.7, it still works on 3.6 though!

Features:
Make a list of forums to either restrict the add-on to or exclude the addon from the list
Option to close sticky threads or not
Enable/disable hack
Set timelimit
All settings can be set in ACP
Option to close thread after X amount of posts
Allow certain usergroups to bypass the hack

Why?
I was getting tired of all those people necro-posting, posting in threads that are up to three years old. This is my solution

Time to install:
Less than one minute

History:
1.00 release
1.10 threadbit display closed
1.20 all settings through ACP
1.30 close thread after reply-count
1.40 bugfix
1.50 dunno what I did
1.60 option to exclude or restrict to the list of forum ids


After billions of requests, I have finally done what you did!

Note
Don't forget to click Mark as Installed (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=196678)!
Also, my testing system is down but the worst this hack can cause is a syntax error.

Great job.

I like your version 1.50, eheheheh ( sorry )

Installed....

[Desesperao]

Installed and nominated.

You are GREAT!!!!!!

What I'd love to see is after the specified time, it automatically moves a thread into a different forum. I have archived areas and this would be perfect if it could do that.

[momo2]

can this work as move to reported or expired posts sections ?

[gwerzal]

Exactly what i needed, cheers

[marrr]

Has anyone gotten this to work on 3.7.4?

[Hornstar]

Thanks, just what I was looking for my trash section.

[Mike-D]

Has anyone gotten this to work on 3.7.4?Yep, works like a nice virgin :D

[Andrew johnson]

it very good and useful for me - "installed"

btw - i am not sure how i install this file - because it had no Instructions

[marrr]

Yep, works like a nice virgin :D

Yup it works good. Thanks alot of moving this plugin to 3.7.4 Ive been looking for this for a long time.

[Merriweather]

If this mod could somehow be combined with the mod here -- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178050 -- it might just be perfect!!! I need the automatic part of this mod, but the move thread to another forum part of the other mod...

[marrr]

I like the way the mod merriweather posted lets you select what forums to enabled much easier way.

any idea if that something you would add??

you have no idea how long i've been looking for a mod like this!

[ePrOmD]

updated!

I have it installed since the previous version. is an excellent aid for moderation. just as with the earlier version, would be important and necessary, an automatic message, under any user administrator of the reasons why the issue is closed!

now, once again, thank you very much, for all the work!

[Infnty]

Time, is this hours, days or whats the go?

[Infnty]

My bad just noticed the field under it

[space?]

Great, thank you!
The feature to set a timelimit was exactly what I searched for...

[Jalo]

Does anyone know if this works on 3.8.2 ?

Thanks!

I'm about to find out... :)

I would assume this runs via a cron job but I don't see anything listed under Scheduled Tasks...


Added:

1. yes, it works like a charm for vBulletinversion 3.82

2. I don't know how it works but I just enabled a few minutes ago and it's already locked the appropriate threads. I'm still curious as to how it's triggered, though.

[ralle89]

It simply checks the date and if it's too old and fits the right forum, it will appear locked. That's all. No database changes at all.

My question was: How is it triggered? It can't be running continuously, I assume. How often does it check for age of threads? And using what mechanism?

[ralle89]

Can't you just view the code?
Well it runs when needed, it's not a cronjob. It just runs with showthread and modifies the output.

Thank you. There... was that so difficult? :rolleyes:

[ralle89]

Lol. No not really.

[merkaz]

So Nice

thanks

Can this also be used to close a thread automaticly after x posts have been made?

[Jalo]

Installed but for some reason the icons do not indicate that the thread is closed. Any suggestions?

Manually closing a thread does show the right icon.

JanCan you send a screenshot? Are you sure the thread lives up to the conditions of when it should be closed?

yeah "Option to close thread after X amount of thread" is supposed to mean that :P

[my_aly]

Thank you

The red highlighted bit suggests this question. Does it appear locked but isn't really, or is it actually locked?

[BBF]

any changelog?
1.60 -> 1.80?

[kamaldarwish]

Thanks for the script.

[kamaldarwish]

Thanks for the script.

Can you add a feature to this script like a condition for the threads
if the thread is open and there was'n any post for the last x days it should be closed.

Best Regards,
Kamal

[pigpog]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Oh, did I mention it's brilliant? :D

I need it too!

[icarusforde]

Works in 3.8.3 fine for me. :)

[navjotjsingh]

Somehow I cannot see the timeunits mentioned. I can select by dropdown its just that its blank. I am just counting by guess to select the option. How to fix it?

[SEW810]

:(, didn't work for me :(
vb 3.8.2

How come this hack closes threads without any cron task?

[ralle89]

Can you elaborate?

[General Ray]

Ralle! Why did you tell me about this hack of yours? We can definitely use it with a theme like ours. Thanks :D
Lol, I thought you didn't like releasing your code?

~Installed~

[Desesperao]

Thank you very much, Ralle.

It's the most useful hack I've ever have to use. :ok

[Frank Sinatra]

thanks a lot, install and nominated

[boggseric]

So far is working on 3.8.1PL1

[ragtek]

It would be great if we could set the closetime per thread

[rumas]

Just in case anyone wants to know, this mod seems to function fine on vb4.01, no errors that I can see and threads are closing as my settings dictate.
