End-User Options - Classifieds: Mark Thread as "Sold"

If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, and consider Nominate for MOTM and Support Developer <<


What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Sold". It will add the prefix "SOLD" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread. If you run a classified forum for your members this will give you a way to let users add a Sold prefix when the item is gone. Admins and mods can using to make items sold as well.

This is a modification of code provided by Eric.

Will install this ! Thank you

I don't understand, options are set in Options, activated for usergroups, and the prefix activated in the good forum.

Prefix is active but the link in thread tools to mark the thread as SOLD doesn't appear

Go to usergroup permissions and at the very bottom of each it will prompt you: do you wish this usergroup to mark threads sold or something close to that. You have to check yes.

[bremereric]

You also have to install this code.....in Showthread template underneath the add poll html

<vb:if condition="$show['soldthread']">
<li><a href="sold.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=marksold&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase soldthread_marksold}&hellip;</a></li>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$show['soldthread_unsold']">
<li><a href="sold.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markunsold&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase soldthread_markunsold}&hellip;</a></li>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

Love this mod! Question:
We have "Mark as sold" working great, we tried to add a "mark as Found", and it does not appear in the drop down for standard users to use. Only mods can use it once they hit "Edit thread". Is there any way to correct this so the user can also mark as found?

What are you using as a mark as found addon?
Need a few more details to be able to help.

I'm in 4.2.2 as well and this was set to no for the usergroup I was testing this on.
