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.

If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, Nominate for MOTM, and consider donating via PayPal <<, TY!

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]

Make the following template edits to all of your installed styles:

Upgrade

Re-import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml, with "Allow Overwrite" set to yes

To 1.1.x from 1.0.0

ATM, it is not advised to do an upgrade from previous versions to this one if you already have 1.0.0 installed. Fresh installs should be fine.

That's it! Enjoy!

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.

Hi, i have your 3.6 version https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=149214 installed on my 3.8.4 board (i installed it on 3.7 and upgraded vb), it works perfect, does this version work the same?, can i just upgrade the xml to this version?

*bump*

Eric · #**184** 02-23-2010, 08:07 AM

I'm not naive, this doesn't come as a surprise... but, someone here on vBulletin.org has taken this mod and released it at vbteam.info, not cool.

I won't be working on this mod anymore, for a while.

Simon Lloyd · #**185** 02-24-2010, 05:11 AM

Secondv, could you possibly answer my question before dumping it?

Really sad to hear, but realize that almost every mod is on that side and if every author would to the same, there would be no mods anymore...
The fight against illegal download sites is tough, but the paid users are the victim of it

It would be really sad to lose such great mod creator...

is there any way to keep the old prefix, and just add the [SOLVED] prefix? and maybe even put it at the end of the thread title ?

anyone ?

Appears to be a problem with vBulletin itself, not this mod.

This mod doesn't directly do anything with the prefix tables.

Unfortunately it's not possible, with the way vBulletin currently handles prefixes.

Should be able to.

Just installed this on 3.8.4 and having a strange problem. The install goes ok (and I uploaded the files) but it appears the language is missing. For example when you go to edit the Usergroup permission you see a yes/no tickbox but no text. Likewise when I check the prefix area I see the prefix group but there's no name for it. Any thoughts/help?
