Version 1.2: Added {DATE} Options
Version 1.0: Initial Release This mod was a request. The goal was to post a new thread regularly each week. The thread content would be Identical each week. You set your thread options in the mod settings, and then schedule the included scheduled task to suit your needs. Simple mod should work on both VB 3.x and 4.x. ------------------------------------------------------ Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this.

Hi BirdOPrey5, My idea: mod can make auto up for random threads
|

I don't understand... Auto up random threads? This mod creates a thread at a specific time- it would make no sense for it to be random- anything else would be outside the scope of this mod completely.

Can {Date} be used in the thread title, so as to clearly distinguish each new weeks thread from the previous?
If not, can you add a "date" option? Can you add options for frequency; Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly? |

The {DATE} idea is something I can put in the next release, but no idea when it may be. Frankly, it may be a while, this isn't really a mod with much demand.
The frequency is chosen in the scheduled task manager- you can change it from once every 10 minutes to once a month, with a lot of possibilities in between. Quarterly will likely not be an option because it is not an option for a scheduled task and to add such an option would mean requiring the mod to alter the database- nothing this simple mod was even intended to do. |

Thanks, Joe.
A y/n option to suffix the title with the date would be greatly appreciated (from my perspective), and I think prove to be a valuable feature for this mod. For now, I'll keep this mod tagged... if I was to use it, I'd have to edit the newly posted thread title to include the date, so may as well just start the new thread myself. Our site runs a "Weekend Update" thread for members to post brief notes about progress on their various projects... it helps keep a community feel to our site. If someone comments on a post to an previous weeks thread, it would not be immediately obvious which is the current weeks thread if a date suffix in the title is not present. Thanks for your efforts... this is a great little mod, and I'm surprised that it is not used by more. |

Decided to make that {DATE} fix today... New version released 1.2- now you can use {DATE} in the title or body of the post. It will use the forum date format by default or you can specify a custom date format in the mod settings.

Simple and yet a great one..
Thanks for sharing I know you want it to be so simple, but if you ever wanna expand on it, here's something you might wanna consider adding. An option to create a new thread or update an existing thread (adding post).. Just a thought Thanks again |

This is a great initiative.
But i think the scope/usefulness of this mod is restricted due to ablity to post the same conted over n over It would be really helpful for me and many other member if we can have the ability to add/schedule new threads in que. ( having the ability to control the title, content , forum, user, and timing on individual thread basis) Like i have an education related community. just wanted to schedule some threads that need to be posted in the coming week ( as i would have to login the forum for the next 10 days and starts a new thread exactly at 2:00pm ( the time when the examination ends) Would really love the ability to add these 10 post in que n they are added over the next week. ( this could be super handy for new communities also IMO, adding new content regularly ) I am even willing to pay upto $25 for it. |
