Auto Move Closed Threads
 

Modification Title: Auto Move Closed Threads
Compatibility: 3.6.x
Tested On: 3.6.3

What does the modification do?

This allows the Administrators to select a single forum for all closed threads to be moved too after a moderator decides to close the thread. The AdminCP options allows this modification to be enabled/disabled on individual forums.

This is useful if you always want closed threads to be moved to a trash forum.

Modification History:


Version 1.1.1 - Added Enable All Forums option
Version 1.1 - Integrated option to exclude Sticky Threads

Has to be 3.6.3 or higher?

As stated, it should work with the entire 3.6.x branch. That will be changed if people note otherwise. :)

Thanks Danny

This will be a nice addon for my forum as soon as I can find where to configure it :p

I don't see it listed anywhere within AdminCP

Oops, should be fixed now. :)

The fix works fine Danny, thanks again

Exactly what I came to look for :D

Thanks a lot

Well, after installing, I can't see the option in the CP

The setting group is titled Auto Move Closed Threads. It should be there, I just tested again with the current upload.

Will there be an added feature sometime in the near future to exclude sticky threads (this way if an Admin or Mod wants to stick an important thread in a forum but doesn't want responses to the thread, it won't be moved to the recycle bin).

ETA: Also, it would be nice to be able to set an amount of time before waiting to close the thread. :)
