Block replies to old threads and prompt for new thread instead
The purpose of this mini mod is to block replies to old threads, prompting the user to start a new thread instead. There is a similar mod at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=69591 but the difference is that this mod does not place the post in a moderation queue. Instead, if a user tries to reply to an old thread, with or without quoting, this mod shows the user a message with a link to start a new thread in the same forum. If you use this mod, a click of the install button is appreciated.

pretty cool hack, i think its useful for those big boards where their are new ignorent users who just post in really old threads just to get in a higher rank

i would suggest a different approach on this hack, as it's using a template for nothing:
simplier, but as efficient: PHP Code:

Damm i just finished my hack vB Expired Threads, same thing as this. But its ACP. Turn on/off, Change the days till closed and the forums you want to lock, blank for all forums. :( beat me to it! :p

@LiveWire... i prefer the settings you have... but more.. . per-forum activation based.. ;) -- i really love per-forum stuff.. lol
|
Per forum as in, only use this hack in specified forum ids?
|
no... a setting in forum.php to enable/disable... so you enable by writing a delay, and disable by writing 0 ... ;) two verifs in one.
...damn, i just gave how i build my tools.. lol |
