View Full Version : Miscellaneous Hacks - Mark Threads As "Solved"
My time is very limited these days, with my full time job. I have marked this mod as re-usable code, if any other coder wishes to continue work on it. I may still try to support this mod as time permits.
If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, and consider Nominate for MOTM and Support Developer << :)
What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Solved". It will add the prefix "[SOLVED]" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.
Current Version
2.0.1.
Features flagged for future version(s):
Thread starter can choose to solve a thread, and input the username of who solved it - that user would receive rep. points. (admin-configurable amount of rep. points)
Given the above - include count of threads a user has solved in postbit & profile
Option to move the thread to a specific forum when a thread is "Solved"
Possibly figure out a way to automate everything on install - so there are no template edits.
And anything else that is suggested :)
Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 4.0.x versions. This will not work on 3.x.
Sounds cool. How do I install?
Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files:
/
|_ install.html
|_ product-solvedthread.xml
/upload/
|_ solved.php
/upload/images/
/buttons/
|_ marksolved.gif
/upload/includes/
/xml/
|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml
Upload: (in the below instructions 'yourforum' would be where you have vBulletin installed)
/upload/solved.php to /yourforum/solved.php
/upload/images/buttons/marksolved.gif to /yourforum/images/buttons/marksolved.gif (upload to each style folder, if you have more than one style)
/upload/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml to /yourforum/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml
Import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml by going to: AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
Make the following template edits to all of your installed styles:
SHOWTHREAD
Find:
<vb:if condition="$show['addpoll']">
<li><a href="poll.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newpoll&t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase add_a_poll_to_this_thread}…</a></li>
</vb:if>
Add after:
<vb:if condition="$show['solvedthread']">
<li><a href="solved.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=marksolved&t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase solvedthread_marksolved}…</a></li>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$show['solvedthread_unsolve']">
<li><a href="solved.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markunsolved&t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase solvedthread_markunsolved}…</a></li>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>
Set options in AdminCP > Settings > Options > Solved Threads
Edit Solved Threads Permissions > Can Mark Threads as Solved for each usergroup.
To setup the forums it can be used in, follow the instructions in this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1789883&postcount=7) post.
Upgrade
Re-import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml, with "Allow Overwrite" set to yes
Upload the files/folders in the "upload" folder, allowing it to overwrite the old files.
That's it! Enjoy! :)
Changelog

2.0.0 - February 3, 2010
- Updated to vBulletin 4
1.1.2 - January 15, 2010

- Small updates to xml file, no version # change. If it works for you, no need to do anything.
- If you have problems uninstalling, please see this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1791497&postcount=34) post.
1.1.0 - April 12, 2009
- Updated for 3.7 & 3.8
- Now uses the built-in Thread Prefix system
- Instead of 'excluding' forums, since using the Thread Prefix system, you can choose which forums this will be shown in.
1.0.1 - July 12, 2007
- Added the ability to unsolve a thread.
- Added the ability to exclude this in certain forums
- Added the ability to change the prefix in that acp

Don't like doing much template edits :(
but a VERY nice mod & a great idea :D
CHEERS :D thanks!
Regarding the comments about template edits... it's just one edit? Not that hard IMHO. If there was a template_hook I could use, I would - but there aren't any int he location this is added.
I could probably have it edit the template cache and use PHP to add it in, but I'd rather not.
I'd like this if it also moved the thread to a specific forum too (as an option)
Thanks.
Will add that to Features Flagged For Future Versions - I like that idea :)

LoL, I will admit that. Thing is I have too many templates and constantly adding new one. So whenever I add new theme, I will have to remember to add this new line of code which is kind of a hassle.
Nevertheless, great modification. Thumbs up!!

Please explain where I need to make the template edits? I am using the default vbulletin style.
I grepped for the string 'rawphrase' and the ONLY place that word exists in the entire VB folder structure is install/vbulletin-style.xml
I made the template edits to that file but the solved is still not working. I assume thats the wrong place anyway since the xml files in /install/ were likely used during the actual installation of VB??

And click on "Edit" in the prefix manager of the blank prefix, don't change anything, just hit Save.

I think the problem is in the 'product-solvedthread.xml' file because as you can see on my attached image the text is missing so something split the name...
Please could check once again this problem?

I'm looking for something similar to this but user defined w/ dropdown on forum posts....3.X used to have a mod for this.
User defined phrase set in admin area, so instead of solved, it could be another phrase
for instance

[RESOLVED]
etc...user could then select any of those or a moderator....on an edit

I think Ive found a little "cache" problem:
if my user creates an thread with a prefix "Problem", for example
then, I go there, and I mark the thread as solved
the prefix change fine, but, if I go back to the forum home, in the "last post" column, the name of the thread is still with the prefix "Problem"
I think thats because you cant only update the thread itself, but, if the thread is also the last thread of the forum, you have to update the forum too (because, if I am not wrong, the table "forum" of vbulletin stores some last thread infos, like title and prefix, probably)
anyway, great mod
thanks!

so let me get this right as a few have pointed me here...
You can only create one usable prefix like solved and unsolved?
How can one create a multiple list like I mentioned above...I've added another prefix but it does not show up..
also is it possible when you create a thread for users to select thread prefixes? What I'm looking for is similar to what vbulletin.com has....any thoughts?
Update: I got this to work, what does the prefix add do , I see the solved one, but there is a setting to create another category like ?

This is a vBulletin thing, not necessarily this mod. I may be able to add in a way to rebuild forum info though if it's really needed ...

This is simply for marking threads as "Solved", it doesn't support multiple prefixes. For what you're wanting to do, that's already a vBulletin feature.

Hey SecondV, I love the mod idea, just that I was wondering if you could tweak it a bit or possibly create a new mod that...
When a thread is marked an [APPROVED] prefix, the thread starter gets moved to a different usergroup.
This feature is needed for our community because, we tell people to post applications on our forums, then someone [APPROVED]'s it and after our staff approves it, they have to contact us to tell us to change their usergroup. I don't want to give our staff access to change people's usergroups, because then they could do other stuff as well.
Could you possibly create this nice feature?
I would be very grateful, thanks.

06-26-2010, 06:31 PM
OK, randomly after looking through the thread options again it "mark as solved" showed up.
However, it isn't putting the tag/prefix in front after I mark it solved; although it does close it.

I give up xD Going to uninstall. Might look into it more later =)

Hi SecondV,
Just upgraded and works perfect.
I've made some customization, because i want the solved button more visible to my users.
( I provided you once ago the instruction for a previous version)
Its like this:
Solved button:
120427
Unsolved button:
120428
So if you see the unsolved button is slighty more to the right, due to the fact that in iE7, the 2 buttons are overlapped when normal added (in IE7 now they are both ok)
Its not yet perfect, but if you would like to have the code let me know.
Best regards,
Karel

Is there a way to create a page that display the last 25 SOLVED threads for instance?
Since all this mod does is set a prefix, no. You'd have no way to determine what time the thread was "Solved"
update for 4.0.6?
My vB4 license is expired, unless $175 magically ends up in my Paypal I can't renew :p So, my vB4 mods won't be developed any further for now.

Thanks for the prompt answer.
If time permits, I may try to add a column in the DB to track the date/time when the thread is mark as Solved.

Installed and marked! But........why does it "require" a member to Select a Prefix...or it will not allow the post?? It will give "Error, a prefix must be selected". Thanks and keep up the good work.
PS. I checked permissions and settings and I see nothing to allow post with no prefix. Thanks
I want to permit a group of users to mark threads as solved. I have installed and follow configuration steps. but they can mark their own threads and not all threads.
How can I permit a group to mark all threads?!

So this version is not using the marksolved.gif ?
Is there any way to add link with this icon somewhere instead of using the "Thread Tools" ?
I've setup this thing to use it as SOLD and its working #1!
Thanks!

Correct, with the changes in vB4 the image is no longer necessary. If you'd like to add this to somewhere other than "Thread Tools", the HTML code you'd use is:
<vb:if condition="$show['solvedthread']">
<a href="solved.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=marksolved&t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase solvedthread_marksolved}</a>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$show['solvedthread_unsolve']">
<a href="solved.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markunsolved&t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase solvedthread_markunsolved}</a>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

The mod is not setup to allow "normal" users to mark any thread as solved, why would you even want that?

It doesn't require members to select a prefix, you may want to re-check your prefix permissions and forum settings.

Just saying it doesn't work without providing details doesn't help diagnose the problem.
Anyway:
Check you made the template edits correctly, have set proper permissions in the usergroup manager, and have setup the prefix permissions (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1789883&postcount=7).

Had a similar issue had to go to the thread prefixes to adjust the usergroup permissions. When I modified the code to make a similar feature for marking items "sold" the ability so edit permissions via the Usergroup until I went and upgraded to 4.1.2 and then it just showed up.

I don't think there is a way to add suffixes that will work with this. I'm guessing that it would take a recode to get the prefixes you are looking for.
If you are just looking to add the prefix for members to choose from though you could just add it through the AdminCP.

I ended up trying again just now and found that you have to do the following:

the trick though is adding that to the translations section. (look above my post to see how to get there.

Go to the thread prefix settings for the 'solved' set, edit the Rich Text Format entry to whatever you want using HTML.

I run this on my site with two different variations, but you have to recode it to make it different. So you would have to go back through it and change all the solved and unsolved to what ever you are looking for. I use solved/unsolved and sold/unsold on my site.

You would have to go through all the products and files and change anything that is solved, unsolved, solve, or unsolve to a new phrase. So depending on what you would like to do would depend on the coding changes.

Im sure alot would love to have your code :)
Btw Is it possible with this mod that the usergroup can make it "solve" and set it back to "unsolved" as often as they want?
Or is it only possible if they made that thread themselves?

Hey guys,
I need this or something similar in one of my forum sites to be used only in a site support sub-forum. I have not read every single post in this thread so excuse me if this has been covered.
I understand it uses usergroup permissions. This is fine and I suppose it would not be hard to add a conditional for forums as well. Has anyone done this? I do not want moderators and admins to have the option to mark solved all over the site.
I would also like to know if anyone has this working successfully on 4.2 with a custom theme. if so did you have to customize? Does this use existing css or it's own?
If you could supply a link so I can test that would be awesome.

maybe you didn't read whole main post...
from there, this code you need to add it to your showthread template to see the button:

Is there anyway to remove the following prefix option when starting a new thread in a Q & A forum?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=150179&stc=1&d=1408869921
I guess, I'm wondering if there is some form of identifier I can test against to hide this option when a forum is detected that is running the solved feature.
I found this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=150180&stc=1&d=1408870162
But am currently unsure how it is evaluated when the newthread template is evaluated.
The following code block shows the section in the section I am referring to:
<vb:if condition="$prefix_options">
<label for="prefixfield" class="full">{vb:rawphrase prefix}:</label>
<select name="prefixid" id="prefixfield" class="full" tabindex="1">
<option value="">{vb:rawphrase no_prefix_meta}</option>
{vb:raw prefix_options}
</select>
<p class="description"></p>
</vb:if>
I'll keep digging and if I find a solution, I'll post it, else if someone else knows, please let me know.
Cheers

update
I have had some success with this:
Starting @ line 45 in the newthread template, find the code noted above and replace with the one below:
<!-- Start hiding the prefix option if Q & A thread -->
<vb:if condition="$forumid == 16">
<!-- Do Not show prefix options-->
<vb:else />
<!-- Start Prefix Options Display -->
<vb:if condition="$prefix_options">
<label for="prefixfield" class="full">{vb:rawphrase prefix}:</label>
<select name="prefixid" id="prefixfield" class="full" tabindex="1">
<option value="">{vb:rawphrase no_prefix_meta}</option>
{vb:raw prefix_options}
</select>
<p class="description"></p>
</vb:if>
<!-- End Prefix Options Display -->
</vb:if>
<!-- End hiding the prefix option if Q & A thread -->
you will note in the following line:
<vb:if condition="$forumid == 16">
You will need to change the number 16 for whatever your Q & A forumid is.
To find this out, you can execute the following SQL against your DB:
select * from forumprefixset;
This will provide you a list of all forums where you have selected them as Q & A type forums as shown below: (I'm using mysql workbench in this example)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=150180&stc=1&d=1408873908
Hope this helps someone.
Next I'll see if I can get an array of forums based on the table forumprefixset
SQL will be something like:
SELECT forumid from forumprefixset WHERE prefixsetid = 'solvedthread';
Once I can get this into an array and register that array as a variable vBulletin can accept, perhaps I can test against that array in the template and not have to manually code the forum ids in. This would mean a one time change in the newthread template and any forum could have this feature.
Any help with this would be really awesome as I am really unfamiliar with the vBulletin codebase and have just started looking into it.
I'll report back as I make progress.
Cheers

Update
Can select from an array now
<!-- Start hiding the prefix option if Q & A thread -->
<vb:if condition="in_array($forumid, array(16))">
Update
So I got this working,
I created a new plugin by using the Add New Plugin in the Products & Plugins section as shown below. The only reason I went down this route is to avoid changing any of the original plugins code. So I hope this method for extending the plugin is OK.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=150188&stc=1&d=1408916968
Then I added the following PHP code:
$result = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumprefixset WHERE prefixsetid = 'solvedthread'");
$returnSolvedForumIDS = array();
while ($output = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($result))
{
$returnSolvedForumIDS[] = $output['forumid'];
}
if(is_array($returnSolvedForumIDS)){
vB_Template::preRegister('newthread', array('returnSolvedForumIDS' => $returnSolvedForumIDS));
}
Finally in the newthread template, as noted in the above template edits, the following change was made:
Find:
<vb:if condition="$prefix_options">
<label for="prefixfield" class="full">{vb:rawphrase prefix}:</label>
<select name="prefixid" id="prefixfield" class="full" tabindex="1">
<option value="">{vb:rawphrase no_prefix_meta}</option>
{vb:raw prefix_options}
</select>
<p class="description"></p>
</vb:if>
Replace with:
<!-- Start hiding the prefix option if Q & A thread -->
<vb:if condition="in_array($forumid, $returnSolvedForumIDS)">
<!-- Do Not show prefix options-->
<vb:else />
<!-- Start Prefix Options Display -->
<vb:if condition="$prefix_options">
<label for="prefixfield" class="full">{vb:rawphrase prefix}:</label>
<select name="prefixid" id="prefixfield" class="full" tabindex="1">
<option value="">{vb:rawphrase no_prefix_meta}</option>
{vb:raw prefix_options}
</select>
<p class="description"></p>
</vb:if>
<!-- End Prefix Options Display -->
</vb:if>
<!-- End hiding the prefix option if Q & A thread -->
The core bit of information I was missing, was the method used to return variables from PHP in a way that they can be used in conditional statements in vBulletin templates. This eluded me for a while but was the key to making the changes I required work. See below for the exact code I used to register the PHP variable for use in the template system:
vB_Template::preRegister('newthread', array('returnSolvedForumIDS' => $returnSolvedForumIDS));
As soon as this variable was registered, everything fell into place. :)
You could easily modify the original Plugins PHP code to return this information. It is probably the best way forward too, as the method outlined in this post does add an additional query, which is not really required, as the same query exists in the original plugin. As stated previously, I did this to:
Separate the test/modification code from the actual plugin code
Avoid changin the plugin code as I am not 100% sure if this is an OK thing to do?
Teach myself and provide an example to others how to accomplish such modifications to the original plugin without changing any of the core plugin code.
I hope this helps someone else understand how this system works. I'll continue to extend this plugin via the separate plugin code.
Unless anyone has an issue with it, I'll keep posting updates on my progress.
Hope you have found this useful.
Cheers

Hi,
A few minutes ago, I installed this mod in vb 4.2.2 pl2.
Works but not appears any button of Solved.
I search in SHOWTHREAD template the code that indicate:
<vb:if condition="$show['addpoll']">
<li><a href="poll.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newpoll&t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase add_a_poll_to_this_thread}…</a></li>
</vb:if>
This exact code not exist in my template (any previous modification in this template), but I view some similar code:
<vb:if condition="$show['addpoll']">
<li><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}poll.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newpoll&t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase add_a_poll_to_this_thread}…</a></li>
</vb:if>
I add the code just after this above code, its correct?
The button not appears and I search for view the problem but I don't view what are the problem.
Regards.

Works with 4.2.5. Had initially the same problem that it was not showing up under "thread tools" although usergroup permissions were correctly set, etc. Found what was causing the issue; if anyone else has this problem, make sure to check that ALL forums AND sub-forums where you want this mod to work are selected under Thread Prefixes > Thread Prefix Manager. Selecting only a parent forum will not lead to the changes being inherited by the child forums, so they have to be selected individually.
