#6 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'));

}
