Close Thread with Reply

This very simple hack will show a checkbox in the options area (with show signature, email notification, etc.) of the Reply
to Topic screen that allows you to close the thread at the same time as posting your reply to the thread. The checkbox will
only show to those that have permission to close the thread.

Tested by me on 2.2.1. Compatibility with earlier versions is likely but not proven.

This hack was requested by Freestyler here.

EDIT: This hack has been updated; the attachment is now in Post #9.

Man, it seems that every hack I want to install has problems with it! Why don't people update thier hacks?

Not to sound rude or offenseive, but maybe when you get your Hacks number up to oh, say about 12 or so, AND get a message board with almost 150,000 posts, maybe then you won't need to ask a question like that.

My hack does work as-is for me. That makes sense because I developed it for my board. Admins can close any thread with it; Moderators can close threads in their forums; and members cannot close any threads, even their own. This is the default way vBulletin works in terms of who can close what thread, and it's the system I use. My hack works fine for it. Aparently, although I haven't tested it yet, I guess pwr_sneak's version works for ALL situations.

As soon as I am able, I will test his update and fix my hack with it (assuming you, pwr_sneak, don't mind if I do that?).

from Freddie https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...959#post228959 suggested using the permissions system so is this correct for instructions ?

ismoderator($foruminfo['forumid'])

find lines 242-245 in newreply.php

PHP Code:

    } else {
      if ($attachmentid and !$foruminfo[moderateattach]) {
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET attach = attach + 1 WHERE threadid = '$threadid'");
      } 


change to

PHP Code:

    } else {
      if ($closethread=="yes" and ismoderator($foruminfo['forumid']) ) {
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET open='0' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
      }
      if ($attachmentid and !$foruminfo[moderateattach]) {
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET attach = attach + 1 WHERE threadid = '$threadid'");
      } 


Find, on or around Line 450:

  $maxattachsize_temp = getmaxattachsize();

Add BEFORE that:

PHP Code:

   if (ismoderator($foruminfo['forumid']))  {
    $closethreadchecked=iif(trim($closethread)=="yes","checked","");
    eval("\$closethreadbox = \"".gettemplate("newpost_closethread")."\";");
  } else {
    $closethreadbox="";
  } 


is it correct ?
