Automatically Close Old Threads After X Days · **Released**: 11-03-2006

This product will automatically close threads. Administrators have the option of setting the number of days until a thread closes, including or excluding sticky threads, and including or excluding forums by ID.

Threads can be closed X days after the thread was created or X days after the last post.

See this product in action on the Voxilla Forums.

Installation

Close Old Threads installs from a single XML file, no other file uploads are necessary.

The installation process automatically creates a php file in the cron folder, therefor the cron folder must be writeable by vBulletin.

You may need to chmod the includes/cron folder to 777 before installation and back (note your settings) after installation is complete.

The installer then creates a daily cron job.

Close Old Threads is inactive upon installation and must be configured and enabled from the vBulletin Options menu. See the attached screen shot for a sample.

Update

1.1 Administrators can now select all forums, or a subset of forums for inclusion or exclusion. The previous version only had options for all forums and an exclusion list.

That?s incredible!!.

I tried to install this hack and at the beginning doesn?t work but surprisingly, after a day, the hack works fine.

Now, I disabled this hack but the threads are still closed

Have you got any idea to solve it?

That happened to me too! The threads are closed after uninstall!

After 36 hours, the threads are still closed.

Please, I need help urgently

As stated in the instructions, this mod creates a cron job that by default runs once a day and closes the tickets that meet the closure criteria.

The tickets are closed by changing their status in the database.

There is no closure tracking or roll-back functionality on uninstall.

If you need to re-open closed threads, you would need to use the vBulletin web interface or create a sql script to change the thread status.

Thank you very much, Eric :up:

Any ideas if this will work on a vBulletin 3.5.x forum?
Or if there's an alternative to this for that version of the boards?

Thank you.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
