Moderators Functions - Auto Move Closed Threads

Modification Title: Auto Move Closed Threads
Compatibility: 3.6.x
Tested On: 3.6.3

What does the modification do?

This allows the Administrators to select a single forum for all closed threads to be moved too after a moderator decides to close the thread. The AdminCP options allows this modification to be enabled/disabled on individual forums.

This is useful if you always want closed threads to be moved to a trash forum.

Yes, this is possible. I will add it in the next release.

ETA: Also, it would be nice to be able to set an amount of time before waiting to close the thread.

Can you clarify a bit further?

Nice job! Just installed and will provide feedback after I use it for a few days.

Here is a suggested add on that would help my forum. I would even pay for this!

When a thread is closed, all members that have posted in that thread get an auto PM telling them a moderator defined message. In my case I run a sports card trading site and I use this for open trades and move to closed trades. I would love it if my members could get a PM telling that their trade/sale is complete and the threads was moved. It would be important to let admins write up the PM message in the ACP as other sites may have a different use.

Overall, nice job!

Edit:It doesnt move old closed threads.

This won't happen! It will only go in effect when you actualy close a thread. This is actually a GOOD thing if you have sticky, closed threads already.

Version 1.1 has been uploaded with the option to exclude sticky threads.

Just re-import the product xml file and set Overwrite to yes.

installed but it would not work when I set it to "enable all forums" I had to select the forums one by one then it worked.

I completely forgot to code to that bit, I will add it right now. My apologies, and thank you for reminding me.

Okay version 1.1.1 has been uploaded.

For the quick patch just do the following:

AdminCP -> Plugins & Products System -> Plugin Manager ->

1.) Find Auto Move Closed Threads plugins
2.) Click edit on Move Thread with close
3.) Replace entire Plugin PHP Code textarea with the following:

PHP Code:

$sticky = ((!$vbulletin->options['amct_excludesticky']) OR ($threadinfo['sticky'] == 0)) ? true : false;

$vbulletin->options['amct_forumids'] = @unserialize($vbulletin->options['amct_forumids']);

if ($vbulletin->options['amct_enabled'] && ($vbulletin->options['amct_forumids'][0] == -1 || in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $vbulletin->options['amct_forumids'])) && $threadinfo['open'] && $sticky)
{
     
     // Don't allow the thread to be moved if move forum doesn't accept threads
     $moveforumid = verify_id('forum', $vbulletin->options['amct_moveforum']);
     $moveforuminfo = fetch_foruminfo($moveforumid );
     
     if (!$moveforuminfo['cancontainthreads'] OR $moveforuminfo['link'])
     {
      eval(standard_error(fetch_error('moveillegalforum')));
     }     


     $threadman->set('forumid', $vbulletin->options['amct_moveforum']);
     $threadman->save();
     $action = $vbphrase['closed'];
     
     if (empty($threadman->errors))
     {
         build_forum_counters($threadinfo['forumid']);
         build_forum_counters($moveforumid);
     }
      

    $vbulletin->url = 'showthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "t=$threadid";
    eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_openclose', true, true)); 


}
