Point User To Searchfunction
 

Ever been tired of pointing the user to the searchfunction? The same question has been asked multiple times? With this Hack you can point the user to the searchfunction.

What does this hack do?
Point To Search 1.0 adds a link to the Thread/Admin Tools, where a Mod can create a default post that contains a predefined text, like:

------------------------------------------------------------
Hello DummyUser,

the question you are asking has been already answered in another thread.
Please use the (link to searchfunction) Searchfunction to get your answer faster.

best wishes,
Admin

As an option, you can decide to close the thread after that reply or leave it open. Additionally, you can choose if the Hack should use the current user as the poster or use a specific account.

Thanks Phalynx

Thanks!

Can you make it so that there is 2 options:

1) Point user to search

This leaves the post open for further discussion.

And

2) Point user to search and close thread.

As it says "thread closed".
