Will this be possible ( limitation for replies )

[rythem_mate]

Hello,

Do you think it is possible make a limitation for the replies for all the threads under a certien forum or for the whole forums ?

( Example : After reaching reply number 100 in a thread it should close its self or no one can add more replies )

hmmm, what do you think dear friends ?

Best regards,

it shouldn't be hard at all, I think. Just a hack in newreply.php.

Maybe something like this:

Open newreply.php and find:


if ($visible) {
if ($threadinfo[replycount]%10==0) {
$replies=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*)-1 AS replies FROM post WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount='$replies[replies]',lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount=replycount+1,lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
}
}
[/php]

Change it to (changes hilighted):

[code]
if ($visible) {
if ($threadinfo[replycount]=="98") {
$closethread = ",open='0',notes='Thread automatically closed on 100th post'";
} else {
$closethread = "";
}
if ($threadinfo[replycount]%10==0) {
$replies=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*)-1 AS replies FROM post WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount='$replies[replies]',lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."'$closethread WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount=replycount+1,lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."'$closethread WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
}
}


This will close a thread automatically on the 100th post (the 99th reply). It will do so for all forums.

If you want to do this to only specific forums, the the code should be (addition marked in highlight AND bold):


if ($visible) {
if ($threadinfo[replycount]=="98" && ($threadinfo[forumid]=="XX" || $threadinfo[forumid]=="XX")) {
$closethread = ",open='0',notes='Thread automatically closed on 100th post'";
} else {
$closethread = "";
}
if ($threadinfo[replycount]%10==0) {
$replies=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*)-1 AS replies FROM post WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount='$replies[replies]',lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."'$closethread WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount=replycount+1,lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."'$closethread WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
}
}


You will need to replace XX with the forumid for the forum(s) you want this to take effect in. Also, you can add as many " || $threadinfo[forumid]=="XX"" as you like.

Hope that helps.
