Automatically Close Threads after X Replies

Not per forum, not per day, not per week, not per member...

just a generic setting for the whole board... close any thread once it exceeds X number of replies -- or better -- when a member tries to reply to a post with X (the limit) number of replies already, it puts their reply as a new thread (and maybe gives them a message on screen that says it's doing so)...

Anyone know if something likes this exists?

This is easy.

In functions_newpost.php

FIND

PHP Code:


		
			
// update the thread if there are any conditions to update

ABOVE that ADD

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($threadinfo['replycount'] == X])

{

    $threadupdate[] = 'open = 0';

}

Okay, that's easy enough...

but how about a message at the bottom of the page, or something, that indicates the post can't be replied to anymore?

Your code didn't exactly work... when I hit "reply" on a post that had reached the limit of X, all I got was a blank page.

Hmm, does work just fine for me.

As for the message, put

Code:

<if condition="!$thread['open']">

This thread is closed and you cannot post any further replies

</if>

in Template SHOWTHREAD.

I'm using version 3.0.7 and I tried it again and your code doesn't work. I cut and paste it exactly as per your instructions and when I hit "reply" on the post that has reached the limit I just get a blank white page.

I still like the idea of the thread splitting into a new thread .... someone has posted a while back they were going to try that hack... did anyone ever?

I am also using 3.0.7 and as said it works fine for me.
Anyone else to try?

I tried it again, but it definitely doesn't work. I do have some hacks, but none of them include any modifications at all to the functions_newpost.php file. I tried putting your code ABOVE the "// update the thread if there are any conditions to update line", and even just to give it a shot, below that line. Same result both ways. Are you sure you cut and paste it here correctly? I'm not a php guru (by far) so if you had a little typo in there I might not notice it.

(and yes, I replaced "X" with the number I want to be the limit)

could this be implemented to auto close a specific thread or threads in a category after 'x' amount of replies? maybe as a choice in forum manager.

In other words not a default setting for the whole board. Only certain Categories will be affected by this.
