Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Auto-solve report threads

In our forum we have a category for reports and when a report is "solved" we move them into "Reported Archive" and put a [solved] in front of their title.
We used to do this manually, until today that I thought of a way to make the process automatic, and it only requires a template edit!

I'm releasing this for any forum that has a similar moderation regime.

In your SHOWTHREAD template add somewhere (not inside a form though) the following code:

<if condition="can_moderate() AND $forumid==$vboptions['rpforumid']">
<form method="post" action="postings.php?do=domovethread&t=$threadid">
    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="t" value="$threadid" />
    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="domovethread" />
    <input type="hidden" name="title" value="[solved] $threadinfo[title]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="destforumid" value="88" />
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="none" />
    <input type="submit" value="Solve report">
</form>
</if>

in that code, subsitute 88 to the actual forumid of your reported archive.

The "Solve report" button appears in the lower left corner for me on the report thread.

Hope that helps

Installed it again and I don't see the report thread, what do you mean by that.. And thanks for the help..

I mean when someone reports a post a report thread is created in a forum of your choosing right?

When I look at the report the "Solve report" button is at the bottom of the report in the lower left corner. It could be different on mine because I'm using a custom style but I would imagine either way the button would appear at the bottom of the report.

I was pointing that out because I thought I was going crazy not seeing any difference and I didn't even notice the button was there. On my board it could be easily over looked if your didn't where it was ; )

I have installed this mod and it seems to work for me...I was thinking about adding the Trash option as well, but feel there should be a condition AND NOT in the top line so that threads already in the reported threads forum won't have the "Trash" option...is this reasonable?

if you search within the template for </form> you will see the section mentioned is further down the template (that's how I found it)

as I said, it can be done, but I don't have the time to do it for you. Perhaps someone else does.
