Also can the title change be different on different forum sections? I have a sell section and a website suggestion section and would like to use sold on the sell section and actioned/completed on the website suggestion section. Is this possible?

Live Wire,

I installed it and it worked just fine in my tests, but a member just reported that all members that replied in the specific thread can also see the "resolved" link.

Any clues?
Thx

Anyone have an idea of why I would be getting this message upon redirect?

"Could not find phrase 'resolved_thread'."

It displays in a regular looking redirect message with the link for when you don't want to wait any longer. I've checked all of my set up and went back through all but can't see where that would be coming from.

CAVEAT, I didn't study the code, just glanced at it.

Although I like the idea and if you called it the Resolved / Sold hack, former for tech support type forums and the latter for classified ad type forums, it would get an even bigger audience.

I probably won't install it though because it seems like overkill and too much overhead to add fields to forum and thread. Personally I think the hack would be better if it just changed the title without creating a flag (field) for resolved in the thread table.

As for specifying which forum it belongs in, I believe if you use conditionals, you can achieve the same effect by hard coding which forums you want it to operate in rather than adding isresolved to the forum table.

This hack is VB 3.05 compatiable.

Is it possible to move the thread to a specific forum, after its resolved?

We have a resolved forum! However we have a resolved forum for each section, so it would be good to be able to point which forum topics are moved to which resolved forums.

Thnx

Can someone give some help in getting this to work with 3.0.7, and how to add a link to the thread tools dropdown so only admins, mods and the thread starter.

Laters

Hmm... I don't get it. I added it, and so far only the thread starter and a certain usergroup can see it. But I never added that usergroup to see the link.

I used the exact code in the instructions:
But the usergroup #8 can still see the link.

add the following to where you want it. So if you want it under Add a Poll to this Thread search for that and add it under.

When I click the resolve link (Im admin) I get the no permission screen?

Any ideas?

Found it - Gota turn it on as its per forum in the options but........... when I do resolve the post I get this error:

Could not find phrase 'resolved_thread'.

Any ideas what it is?

Im getting the same here M8

Does anyone know how to install this for 2 options.

I need 2 links..

One saying [SOLVED]
And one saying [DEAD]

So I need to put an extra link in the dropdown for the [DEAD] but how?

Anyone.

the realist does this work on vb3.0.7 if so will install it as was a good hack.

as for that `Could not find phrase 'resolved_thread'` could`nt u just make a new phrase to cover it ??

It works fine on 3.0.7 as thats what Im using. I did add a phrase called resolved_thread but it still said "Could not find phrase"

Laters

ok cheers the realist

how can i get this to work in the posbit template

This hack seems a little problematic.
I installed and uninstalled it several times accross two forums and the same
problems occur.

1) the viewing permissions to toggle the resolved feature is passed down to
whoever answers the thread,
2) The phrases don't seem to come up.

Can anyone say if this hack works properly?

and if so what did you do to correct it.

Mine worked fine. Although I made a little edit, I didn't use the $resolvelink variable, I simply took the URL used in the resolve_link template and put if conditionals around it and stuck the link in the Thread Options drop-down box. This way, I let Administrators be the only ones who can mark a Thread, resolved. Per you Permissions problem, did you enable the ability to Resolve threads? It's a Forum by Forum permissions system, meaning you need to go into the AdminCP and enable it through the Forums and Moderators section. As for the Phrases not showing up... are you sure you made them correctly and that they're in the Global group. See attached image for example.

Question: Is there anyway to do a link that says, "Un-resolve Thread"?

I was reading the install info and noticed that the "showthread.php" template makes mention of a template that doesn't exist:

and the install info makes no mention of creating a "resolved_nolink" template, unless I am misreading the code or the instructions.

*clicks install*

Nice hack :)

Any chance of getting this for vb3.5? Would be willing to donate for it.

was a 3.5 version ever developed?

We just upgraded, and this was one of the hacks we lost.

I just moved to a new place and I'm waiting for the net to be turned on, but I think I can manage to do a 3.5 version for everyone :)

Could you port this to 3.5.x?

Has this been ported to 3.5x yet?

You have to add new Front-end Redirect Message

Varname: resolved_thread
Text: You have resolved this thread successfully

Can you please bring this awesome hack to 3.5
Our community loved this simple but amazingly useful mod on our forums.

I hope the coder considers it, if not perhaps someone else with his or her permission could look into converting it :)

hope it gets updated - was a good little hack

Come on livewire we know u can do it :)

I have already made one (after hours of work, livewire could have done it in less than an hour, hehe) for my forums, maybe livewire can have a look and let me release it?

includes usergroup and forum settings :)

WOW! - if not, I would pay you for it privately!
is that legal?!?
