Mark Threads As 'Solved' · **Released**: 04-11-2009

My time is very limited these days, with my full time job. I have marked this mod as re-usable code, if any other coder wishes to continue work on it. I may still try to support this mod as time permits.

What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Solved". It will add the prefix "[SOLVED]" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.

Current Version
1.1.2 - You can find the 3.6.x version, here.

Features flagged for future version(s):

Thread starter can choose to solve a thread, and input the username of who solved it - that user would recieve rep. points. (admin-configurable amount of rep. points)
Given the above - include count of threads a user has solved in postbit & profile
Possibly figure out a way to automate everything on install - so there are no template edits.

And anything else that is suggested

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.7 - 3.8 versions. This will not work on 4.0. If you are looking for a vB4 version, you can find it here.

Sounds cool. How do I install?

Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files:

Code:

/
|_ install.html
|_ product-solvedthread.xml

/upload/
|_ solved.php

	/upload/images/
		/buttons/
		|_ marksolved.gif

	/upload/includes/
		/xml/
		|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml

Upload: (in the below instructions 'yourforum' would be where you have vBulletin installed)
- /upload/solved.php to /yourforum/solved.php
- /upload/images/buttons/marksolved.gif to /yourforum/images/buttons/marksolved.gif (upload to each style folder, if you have more than one style)
- /upload/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml to /yourforum/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml
Import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml by going to: AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]

To make prefix visible and sortible:

Edit the threadbit template

find:

PHP Code:


			
$thread[prefix_rich]

replace with:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$thread['prefix_rich']"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$thread[forumid]&prefixid=$thread[prefixid]"> $thread[prefix_rich]</a></if>

All done... Prefix is now visible and this template modification will allow you to click any prefix and sort them by that criteria.

Thanx to Magnumutz

I was looking forward to installing this mod but after reading this thread there is no way I will install until the bugs are worked out.

Also, there is no reason to do template edits here. So when you make this a proper product thats installs and uninstalls correctly I will think about it.

I need this mods features but cant afford a mod that does not properly uninstall and causes errors.

NOTE: It is not cool that you have included a thumbs.db in your zip file. You need to be better about checking your mod zipper please! The useless file is here: upload\images\buttons\thumbs.db - You need to delete this from your zip file.

yotsume · #96 07-20-2009, 08:56 PM

Well I decided to go ahead an install this mod even though the posts in this thread have reported a number of problems. Seems I get to add to the list.

I see some bugs...

First bug, in vb3,7x the text is missing next to the option in the usergroup manager to allow this mod.

Second, I have Tab Form Home mod installed and your mod when enabled simple kills the entire forum and whites out all threads when you click on their link to read them.

I had to deactivate your mod and my forum works again.

So can I get help making your mod work with the TFH Tab Forum Home mod please. I really need your mod to work right.

THANKS!

When i suitch off the product, i can see the posts in a threads. Suitch product on - showthread.php shows me a blank page.

I'm trying the product on a clear bord without any hack.

Any suggestion?

This is the same problem I have. I am on vb3.7x and PHP running is: 5.2.10

When this mod is on all threads show blank white. As soon as I shut the mod off the threads show correctly again.

If there a fix for this issue?

MISSING OPTION FIX:

There are a few bugs in this current version. I had the same problem. There is a bug with the phrase not being entered correctly in the usergroup options so it looks like it is not listed. For me I just had a blank space with a yes/no bullet and no text next to it.

SOLUTION (what worked for me)
1. Go to AdminCP > Languages & Phrases > Search in Phrases
2. Do a search for: Can Mark Threads as Solved and Unsolved
3. Edit the "solvedthread_canmarksolved" phrase
4. In the field enter: Can Mark Threads as Solved and Unsolved
5. Click SAVE!

NOTE: This phrase edit is needed because there must be a bug in the "bitfield_solvedthread.xml" file. It is NOT adding the phrase text in our usergroup options. So it looks like the option is not there!

(*I included a screen shot of what my options pages looks like without this fix)

6. Next: Go to AdminCP > Usergroups > Usergroups Manager
7. Edit the desired usergroup
8. Look under: "Post / Thread Permissions"
9. The text for: "Can Mark Threads as Solved and Unsolved" should now be listed.
10. Select Yes and click SAVE!

UNRESOLVED BUG: All Threads Show as Blank White Pages
This current version is not entering the text so I just had a yes/no bullet that was unlabeled! The file: bitfield_solvedthread.xml is not doing its job properly on my site. This procedure fixed the missing text for me. However, the issue remains that when this mod is enabled all my threads show as a blank white page!

I sure could use a little help and support here...

I would really like to get this mod working. Again I am running vb3.7x and my PHP is: 5.2.10
