This hack will remove the Reply link and replace it with the threadclosed.gif image only.
I did this hack because i wanted to see 'Thread Closed' with no link, instead of the link 'Post A Reply' that points to a VB error message, when the thread is closed.

Update
at Jawelin's request, i enabled the posting on a Closed Thread for admins and mods only. for those of you who installed already this hack, read Post #9.

BUG!!!!

it only removes the link from the top, the link on the bottom is still there. so the top table works but the bottom still has the closed link

I got it, when u DL the script, u'll see this step:

Quote:

03. Open showthread template and find the code:
code:
------------------------------------
<a href="newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&threadid=$threadid"><img src="$replyclose" border="0" alt="Post A Reply"></a>
------------------------------------

Replace it with:
code:
------------------------------------
$replyopenclosed
------------------------------------

Simply do that twice and it will work! :D

TECK	01-22-2002 01:40 AM

the info is ok.. i think. i said in the info file this:
replace the code [...] with the variable [...]

well the code is repeated identicaly 2 times on that template page so i never thought to mention it that you have to replace it twice. ;)
anyway Shenlong said it here... so there is no need to edit the file. thanks for taking the time to evaluate it. is a very simple hack, that took me 5min to make it. it took me more to make the actual cosmetics on the template installer-remover file. :)

since i broke the ice with my first hack, please click the I INSTALLED THIS FILE button. thanks for your time, and post your comments.

Very interesting. But when the reader of a closed post is Admin/Mod, that link make possible to reply the message without opening and reclosing it later.
Does your hack differentiate between users this way ?

Thanks.

Thanks.

i will add the mod to the hack. check this thread tomorrow.

69-FLy-gUy, can you be more specific? to uninstall the hack, simply follow the instructions in reverse. this hack does not modify any of the VB functions.

TECK	01-31-2002 10:24 AM

ok Jawelin i updated the file.
for those of you who installed already the hack, do this:

01. open showthread.php and find the code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($thread[open]) {

  eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyopen")."\";");

} else {

  eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyclosed")."\";");

}

replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($thread[open]) {

  eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyopen")."\";");

} else {

  if (ismoderator($thread[forumid],'canopenclose')) {

    eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyclosedmod")."\";");

  } else {

    eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyclosed")."\";");

  }

}

02. run one more time the tplopcl.php file to install the 3rd template.

Thanks. That make the difference between a professional hacker and a lonely coder!
Thanks a lot for sharing your work.
I'll install asap.

TECK	02-02-2002 11:35 PM

Jawelin, ty for your nice words. if anyone else install it, please let me know what you think about it.

Thank. I installed your hack without problems and works.

Just a tip, if I can: I saw your script installed all three templates as 'default' ones, never modified (as they where original).
Just few days ago, I made the upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 and realized that all the default (i.e. NEVER changed) templates are overwritten by the upgrade script, unlike the modified templates that are mantained.

If true, hope this could help you.
Thnx

TECK	02-12-2002 06:48 AM

my installer uses the same mechanism as VB installer(upgrader). the string:

PHP Code:


		
			
DELETE FROM template WHERE title='".addslashes($title)."' AND templatesetid=-1

makes it to be removed by any install(upgrade), so this is normal.
i have only one file with all the custom templates i made. when i upgrade or install, i simply run my installer, so all templates are updated in 5sec. ;)
i hope this info is useful to you.

Just for info, how this file is made/built with ?
Bye

TECK	04-05-2002 12:49 AM

if you are admin or mod, you can still reply to closed threads.

Thsi may sound stupid to all of you, but when you mouseover the closedthread image it still says post a reply. Is there any where to change that? Also, after I installed this (which works great by the way!) now my reply and closedthread images are on the left side above the time. What did I miss?

Also please edit your post before. Maybe a variety in posting a message may be good, instead of 20 posts with the same things.

Thanks
