Do you have any plans to expand this hack?

It would be really useful to me if I could lock a thread after x days of inactivity.

That's easy, you should edit the xml before importing and on line 25, where it says:

PHP Code:

WHERE threadid IN($zhthread) AND open = 1 AND sticky = 0 AND dateline < ".intval(TIMENOW-(86400*$zhtime)) 


replace it with

PHP Code:

WHERE threadid IN($zhthread) AND open = 1 AND sticky = 0 AND lastpost < ".intval(TIMENOW-(86400*$zhtime)) 


I haven't seen vb_thread table structure for vb3.7, but I'm pretty sure "lastpost" field is still there.

Any Suggestions if you expand this Hack to close Threads after xxx Posts ?

[stwilson]

Can you apply this MOD to specific forums or is it thread specific?

[Rich]

This mod is not very user friendly if we have to enter each threads ID individually. I recall a version where you entered the forum ID, or something like that, and it would close every thread that was "x" amount of days old. Is this one also going to have that added functionality or is this the end product? (I ask because i need to know if I need to figure it out on my own. lol)

I always enjoy a nice automated add-on like this. Thanks for taking the time and sharing it with us, this is a great start. I like some of the ideas I'm reading, may I also suggest this mod be able to move threads. I used to have a mod like this auto lock then move the locked thread to a sub-forum archive. It really made life easy and kept things clean. Thanks again.
