[DBTech] Threads Auto Close v1 (vB4)

[DragonByte Tech]

What is Threads Auto Close?
Threads Auto Close is a professional forum management mod, allowing administrators to automatically close threads after X post or X replies.

Close Threads Automatically is the ideal product to eliminate the bumping of older threads.

Threads are not closed in the database, they appear as if they were closed. So, if you deactivate or uninstall the mod, threads appear as open again.

Note: Threads that are marked as closed by this mod via the Auto Close After X Replies setting, can not be reopened due to the fact that they have reached the max replies you set. Only way to re open them is to increase the reply limit or disable that feature.

This is working like a charm, thanks for sharing.

Any chance you could add an option for closing the thread after X days of inactivity?

Having an fixed number of days doesn't really solve our thread bumping problem, since it could close off active threads that are in use...

Hey if you could add a sorta "bump down" feature to this i may consider buying it.

For example if a thread has so many - likes it closes.

There was a mod that did this, but I'm having issues finding it at the moment

Sorry about the delay in responding, I did not get ant notification about new posts being made. The mod already does that, it auto closes the thread after X days of the last post, not the first post. Looking at the way I wrote the description I see it is confusing and will re word that shortly.

I assume you mean likes as in from the Advanced Post Thanks / Like mod we have?

Any chance you could add an option to delete threads after x days in certain forums aswell, or move them to another forum? this would be ideal for us to set up a classified forum.. :D

[DragonByte Tech]

It may be possible, but kinda goes beyond the scope of the mod, I will look into it when the mod undergoes future feature updates though.

[Snowhog]

Downloaded and 'tagged'. This could be a very useful addition to our forum. I've asked our other administrators to comment (on our forum) on this MOD. If the consensus is 'yes', I'll install it. Great MOD regardless. Thank you for your work.

Hi Developer

i see that this mod is the same thing as of https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=255589

apart from the additional updates you have used to make it your own whats the differents between yours and his

[DragonByte Tech]

I did not even know that one was around when I wrote this one. I have not tried it so I don't know what the exact differences are but this one is supported, where that one is not.

Hello...

Is it possible to add the "Option to close thread after X days" based on the 1st post time, not the last post time?

Really need this.. thanks alot.

[DragonByte Tech]

Not at this time, but it is something that can be look into for future versions.

It will be taken into consideration for future versions.

Chris

[albibak]

Any idea about the date of this future version? (more or less)

[DragonByte Tech]

No, unfortunately we don't give our times, due to the fact that it can change to much.

Chris

[OrlyHason]

can you do it like this : set time for each thread to auto close

[Pocket Aces]

Is this mod able to set desired number of replies to trigger auto-close per forum?
I mean, can we set different numbers of reply per forum? Let's say forum1 will auto close after 5000 replies and forum2 will auto close after 50 replies. A setting like that maybe in the ACP > Forum Manager > Edit Forum

[ozzy47]

No there is no such setting in the mod to do that.

[Unfolded90]

The auto close feature isn't working.
I have it set to auto close forums after 60 replies in all forums, However nothing happens

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you please show me a screenshot of your configuration & a screenshot of the thread list showing some threads that should be closed, so I can try to replicate it locally?

Also, have you tried disabling all other mods in case there's a conflict?

I downloaded and installed this mod last night. And tonight members are complaining that current threads are showing up as closed. After researching this complaint I've realized that all threads show as closed when viewing the Subscribed Threads Quick Link. All other forum views work as expected.

The Subscribed Threads link is set up with a Target URL of subscription.php{session.sessionurl_q}.

Is there something I can add to this URL to fix the bug? I already tried adding contenttype=vBForum_Thread; but all displayed threads still showed up as Closed.

Edit: Looks like this bug exists on My Posts as well. This Target URL is search.php?do=finduser&userid={bbuserinfo.userid}&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showp osts=1. When I change showposts=0 or remove it, this link then becomes My Threads, which works correctly. Something is missing when showing the given member's actual posts in a list.

So, there are 2 areas that appear to need updating.

[iraqiboy90]

any chance that this or other plugins can have the ability to lock threads with db.
i want the threads to get normal close after x days. no neef for extra permissions. administrators will still be able to "ignore" the lock just like normal

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

In the next version could we have the option to display a message at the end of the thread explaining it's closed because of X..

Not sure if you're still looking for a solution but for the subscription.php page create a hook usersub_view_query name it whatever you want with the contents:
require(DIR . '/dbtech/auto_close_threads/hooks/fetch_threadinfo_query.php');

For the search result page you'll need to do a manual query in another hook to expose the custom field added by the module to your search results. The hook you have to create is threadbit_process, with execution order 4 (so it comes before the other process hook from the autoclose plugin) with the contents:
if(!isset($thread['dbtech_act_lastpost'])) {
global $vbulletin;
$tresult = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
SELECT t.dbtech_act_lastpost
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread AS t
WHERE t.threadid = " . $thread['threadid'] . "
");

$thread['dbtech_act_lastpost'] = $tresult['dbtech_act_lastpost'];
}
