ACK! I loaded this, set the expiration for 90 days, and every thread on the board was promptly locked.

Thats impossiable, that code will not allow something like that. I installed this hack for a client 4 days ago and everything is working fine. Only thing I can think of is the physical close threads is interfearing somehow. Try turning that off, and see if anything changes. If so, I will have a deeper look at the code, but it seems it is working fine for me.

Users can still reply, but if the Thread is expired they will see a Warning (Maybe an Image and some blah blah Text saying that the Thread is pretty old) and have to tick a Checkbox that they are aware of this but still feel that it's necessary to answer.

That's because sometimes it does make sense to bump an old Thread, but in most cases it does not make sense and the Users just don't realize how old the Thread is.
I would like something similar. After X days, the quick reply on the thread would be gone and when the user would click on reply, a warning would be shown saying that this is an old thread, do you want to continue. If the user wants to reply, they would click on OK

Yep! I, too, think this would be a great alternative to just closing the thread. :)

Just a quick question, if i set up the expired date in each catagory forum setting, it will affect all the other forums that's under the catagory forum, even if it's set to no in those forums under the catagory?

Logikos 08-22-2005 08:40 AM
Nope, this will only effect the cat where the settin is on. :)

yeah happened to me also

seems if u dont go into each forum and mess with the setting to turn it on it can wreak havoc

it even messed up some threads and added polls or what appeared to be polls but where missing data

took a few hours to clean up the mess manually

trust me, this hack did this - nothing else would have caused this

I've uploaded a new Zip file for current users. Set overright to yes in the manage products area. I've turned off 'Physicaly Close Threads' to review the code when I get home..

A fantasic addition to this would be that the time limit would reset should the poster of the first post in the thread return to post again. This is precisely what we've planned to handle the resurrection of old threads, but where we want the thread starter to have control over the ultimate end date.

It would also be great if moderators could disable the time limit completely for threads or extend it using existing ajax moderator tools without having to post.

I've been looking for a hack to close after a specified amount of replies, could this hack be updated with this feature? I have found a lot of request for a hack of this type while looking myself... It would make a lot of people happy :D


This is a great hack and I would love to see it developed.
