Quick Close/Open Thread (with reason)

[TECK]

This hack will allow you to close/open a thread in 2 ways:
1. By entering a reason, while viewing the thread.
Let's see you view a thread and you find some post that is irrelevant to the content of your board (advertising, spam, etc).
The normal way is to go and reply and right after to close the thread.
Not anymore. Once entered the reason, vBulletin will post that message and close the thread for you automatically.
To re-open it, it goes the same way.

2. By adding an attachment or special note to your new thread or reply.
Let's see you want to open a new thread, make an attachment and close rightaway the thread.
All you have to do is check the box related to Close/Open Thread. vBulletin will post that message and close the thread for you automatically.
For new replies goes the same way. By simply checking the box, vBulletin will post your reply and Close/Open the thread.

ADVANTAGES
- no queries or database modifications are needed
- the hack is template based, so you can customize it in few seconds
- only people who have the right to open/close threads on your board will see this option

This screenshot will let you view the Quick Close/Open Thread in newreply.php and newthread.php.
The only difference is in newthread.php.
You will not have an Open option because there are no replies:

Very cute... on my install list. Thank you!!

[Takara]

If I just follow the instructions for newthread.php and newreply.php, can I just make it work with the checkbox? I'm not intrested in having the quick close on the showthread.

[Ambex Net]

Will this work ok on 2.2.5? Just making sure before I install.

[Velocd]

I'm already presuming that the thread creator (or admin, depends on your forum options) is the only one who can see the "open/close" thread box, correct?

Anyway, thats probably a given. Great hack Nakkid, defiantly installing!

[Velocd]

Just installed and it works great ;)

You say find this in newthread.php: if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and !$previewpost) {
if ($bbuserinfo[signature]!="") {
$signaturechecked="CHECKED";
} else {
$signaturechecked='';
}
if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
$emailchecked="checked";
} else {
$emailchecked='';
}
}But I can only find this: if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and !$previewpost) {
if ($bbuserinfo[signature]!="") {
$signaturechecked="CHECKED";
}
if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
$emailchecked="checked";
}
}

But I can only find this...go ahead and replace it. it will work. vb226 have this difference between newthread.php and newreply.php. probably you run a different version.

but always check the code before you modify. do not start any hack unless you have all the code identical. that's how is done always with older versions. let me know if you got it working and i will add it in the first post as "tested in version"...

UPDATE
I just looked at the code and realised that I forgot a bracket in newthread.php (step 4).
FIND this code: eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_openclose")."\",\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid\");");
} else {
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_postthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");REPLACE it with: eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_openclose")."\",\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid\");");
} else {
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_postthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");
}Sorry about this. The .txt attachment is updated now.

I have the quick reply box at the bottom of showthreads, with clickable smiley box. When I insert this:<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$closeopenreason
<!-- /spacer -->It breaks the clickable smilies. If I remove $closeopenreason, the smilies work fine.

[Smoothie]

Everything works fine, except the smiley problem.

[TECK]

replace:<input type="text" class="bginput" name="message" size="50" tabindex="1">with:<input type="text" class="bginput" name="message" value="[ b]Reason:[ /b] " size="50" tabindex="1">remove the space in front of b] to have it bold, or put there what ever BBCode you want.

[Smoothie]

Nakkid-

Any word on why this hack causes problems with the clickable smilies in the quick reply box?

Great thanks:)

Yeh...I just looked at the code, and I have it installed:)

Just curious Nakkid,

Will there be a change file (for the quick reply box), since I already have this hack installed and working?

[Chris M]

Any news on that update Nakkid?

Satan

[TECK]

I released v1.1. I added the editpost.php changes. Just add those steps onto your editpost.php file and change the template also.

[Smoothie]

I have a problem. I have 3 styles on my board. the first 2 styles, the "Thread Closed" appears in the post. The 3rd style it doesn't. I have double checked and triple checked that all the templates are in the new style. It still closes the thread, but the word "Thead Closed" doesn't appear.

[TECK]

is nothing i can do unfortunatelly. check your code.

[matthepepe]

im sorry that last post was not supposed to be there. I did have one problem when i installed this hack. I get a script error when i hit to reply in the quick reply box, and i hit ok on the window that tells me about the error and it goes thru and works fine. any ideas on what needs changed to fix that error.

[Troy J.]

i have one problem when i put the code in the showthread temp it works and shows up but the thing it makes is totally diff in color then my template how can i change that?

[Reflex]

Awesome hack, and great instructions, thanks a lot :)

[BluSmurf]

easy installation :D

[N9ne]

TECK: A request! I have your quick reply with close/open checkbox hack installed, I think it's great however sometimes someone might just want to close a thread, without replying, and quickly :D

Is it possible to make a modified version of this hack, so that it's only on showthread, maybe like this:

In Quick Reply Box, [I'm using FireFly's Template], under the open/close switch, have another switch which says "Close Thread Without Replying" and if the thread is already closed, "Open Thread Without Replying"

If this is possible, it would be great :)

[N9ne]

Also, please regard this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=310537#post310537

[TECK]

those questions should be in Requests forum. it has nothing to do with my hack.

[Karmulian]

I am using vbb2.2.9 with this hack

everything works ok on it.. except the quickreply(opening or closing)

says no thread specified
i have taken a look through and i can't see why

any ideas

[Dribbles]

hi, installed on 2.2.9 but I see nothing new at the bottom of showthread. There was one difference in the installation ... when you said to find:

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

<!-- /spacer -->

mine was different from a quick reply hack and said:

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$replybox
<!-- /spacer -->

So I just added the "$closeopenreason" right above the "$replybox" ... but I see nothing new like in the screenshots.

[Pretendo]

I'm new to installing hacks, sorry if the problem is an obvious one.

I'm running 2.2.9 and this segment of code isn't found in showthread.php in this form, as listed in quickcloseopenthread_v11.txt:


if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}

I find them split at different locations. (I have the original quick reply box hack installed.)
