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.

seems a very easily done mod..
but a small question -> we have some forums which runs some jokes threads which are running since 4 months.. (over 2600 replies and still on)

how can we take care of them ?

This mod has the following line:

PHP Code:
if ($threadinfo['lastpost'] < TIMENOW - 2592000) // 30 days in seconds 
so when the last post in a thread is over 30 days old, the user will be prompted to start a new thread.

If you want to prompt the user to start a new thread when the first post in a thread is over 30 days old, then use:

PHP Code:
if ($threadinfo['dateline'] < TIMENOW - 2592000)  // 30 days in seconds 
If you want to prompt the user to start a new thread when the first or last post in a thread is over 30 days old, then use:

PHP Code:
if (($threadinfo['lastpost'] < TIMENOW - 2592000) OR ($threadinfo['dateline'] < TIMENOW - 2592000)) 
Of course, you could also use something like:

PHP Code:
if (($threadinfo['lastpost'] < TIMENOW - 2592000) OR ($threadinfo['dateline'] < TIMENOW - 5184000)) 
to prompt the user to start a new thread when the last post is over 30 days old or the first post is over 60 days old.

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

nexialys 10-03-2004 08:37 PM
i would suggest a different approach on this hack, as it's using a template for nothing:

simplier, but as efficient:
PHP Code:
/////////////////////////// step 1 ///////////////////////////
/*
Add new Phrase:

Type :  Front-End Errors

Varname : zzzz_oldthread
Text: This thread is old. Consider starting a <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]">new thread</a> instead.
*/
/////////////////////////// step 2 ///////////////////////////
//In forum/newreply.php at about line 108 find:

// ### CHECK IF ALLOWED TO POST ###

//And afterwards add the following:
if ($threadinfo['lastpost'] < TIMENOW - 2592000) // 30 days in seconds
{
     eval(print_standard_error('zzzz_oldthread'));
}

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

nexialys 10-03-2004 08:49 PM
@LiveWire... i prefer the settings you have... but more.. . per-forum activation based.. ;) -- i really love per-forum stuff.. lol

Logikos 10-03-2004 08:59 PM
Per forum as in, only use this hack in specified forum ids?

nexialys 10-03-2004 09:03 PM
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
