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

[HELP]
[SOLVED]
[RESOLVED]

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

I have a little problem:
i use this mod for vbookie and the prefix for my forum is Payed
but in the rest of forum i see Solved. how i change this?

( sorry for my bad english :-P )

Please rebuild all and create a new update for vb 4.0.2 :)

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.

SecondV,

You made my day, we were waiting for your release for vb4 and i was a disapounted to hear if you would drop it, but i hope you will still continuiing this mod, special the future version would be soooooo nice to have.

I'll send you some support ;-)

Best regards,
Karel

I'm working on a new release atm - not sure when it'll be ready, though.


Thank you for your generous donation Karel :) I appreciate it.

I can't change the forums this applies to since I updated to 4.0.2.. it was working in 4.0.1

This is what I get when I try to edit the prefix:

not work for vb402

I would like images instead of [solved]

Nice mod! Which file and which line is to be edited to change the language of the output "mark thread as solved"?

Thanks!

Great mod. I suggest you add this though to the install instructions, as I had the same issue.

Great mod, used this on 3.8 too.

How can I change the colour of the solved text, or at least make it bold?

Never mind, undumbed myself and figured it out :)

I am running 4.0.3 and it is not working. Can anyone confirm if they have it working on theirs?

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.

what about the other prefixes that belongs to the vbulletin it self, will it overwrite it ?

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.

4.0.3

EDIT: And now it's gone again after doing nothing...

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

Just upgraded from vb3.8 on 4.0.4 and is working as it should !

Thanks SecondV, my donation was worth it...

Is this MOD still being improved? I would still love to see the features I suggested in the 3.x version... support for more than one prefix (Sold, Traded, Found) for classifieds forums, but with the same functionality that allows the thread poster to mark it in the same manner this MOD already does.

i installed and followed all the instructions, added the code, uploaded fils to each specific folder. enabled product in admin cpanel-options, set YES in usergroup manager option.

the yes or no option for mark thread as solved has APPEARED in the usergroup manager, but when you go to the forum to mark post as solved it's not there in the thread tools.... please help

Tested on local install + two diff. dev. boards, everything appears to be working.

2.0.1 - July 30, 2010
- Changes to solved.php, to check for errors while saving thread, changed how threadinfo is pulled.
- Changes to bitfield_solvedthread.xml, removed the "install" attribute, doesn't seem to work anyway.
- Changes to product-solvedthread.xml, install process. Gave the install a small delay between rebuilding prefix datastore (after adding prefixset), and creating prefix.
- Changes to product-solvedthread.xml, plugin. Removed check for can_use_prefix function, as vB 3.8 + includes it, and this mod is for 4.0

Awesome! thank you very much :)

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:
Attachment 120427

Unsolved button:
Attachment 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

Not work on vb 4.0.6

I have modify the SHOWTHREAD tamplate but nothing is appear in thread tools.

Is there a way to have this mod without manual template editing? I have so much theme and going over each of them everytime is not fun.

Not working after upgrade to VB 4.0.6

I have replaced SHOWTHREAD to 4.0.5 version, and it works again

I afraid to do that. I will wait for update one. It should be compatible for later vBulletin versions.

This has been tested several times on the latest vB 4 version, and it's worked every time. The code for SHOWTHREAD for this mod has not changed.

great mod.

and I agree ....it would be nice to see the option to change SOLVED to SOLD or whatever else.
This way this mod would be even more popular.

great work SecondV

Unable to remove throwing errors all over the place

...there is no prefix SOLVED in forum display...

Great mod.

Is there a way to create a page that display the last 25 SOLVED threads for instance?

update for 4.0.6?

Have you marked any threads "Solved"?

Since all this mod does is set a prefix, no. You'd have no way to determine what time the thread was "Solved"

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?!
