Mark Threads As 'Solved' · **Released**: 06-07-2007

3.7 - 3.8 VERSION RELEASED, HERE

What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Solved". It will add the prefix "[SOLVED]" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.

This mod came about, around a year ago - with this thread. But I never released it... until now.

Current Version
1.0.1

Features flagged for future version(s):

Thread starter can choose to solve a thread, and input the username of who solved it - that user would recieve rep. points. (admin-configurable amount of rep. points)
Given the above - include count of threads a user has solved in postbit & profile
Possibly figure out a way to automate everything on install - so there are no template edits.

And anything else that is suggested

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.6 versions. I've not tested this on 3.5, but not much changed from 3.5 to 3.6 in this hack - so it should work on 3.5 as well.

Sounds cool. How do I install?

Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files (in the "upload" folder):

Code:

/
|_ solved.php

/images/
	/buttons/
	|_ marksolved.gif

/includes/
	/xml/
	|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml

Upload the files/folders keeping the same structure.
Import the product, product-solvedthread.xml

Make the following template edits:

is it possible that the author of the thread can mark the thread as solved (for a support forum etc.)
so not only mods . and if possible that the autor can select one of the users who replied (actually solved the problem) and then sign the thread as solved. The member(s) who solved the problem then get extra reputation

ymy · #13 06-08-2007, 08:31 PM

Yes, the thread starter can mark their thread as solved, as long as you set the correct usergroup permissions.

Cheers.

Yup. As soon as per-forum permissions are a feature, I'm installing this! This is exactly what I've been looking for!

Eric · #17 06-09-2007, 12:43 AM

I've added a list of current planned features in the first post, and the hack details. I'll continue to add to them as I come up with ideas, and as I get your suggestions

4x4 Mecca · #18 06-09-2007, 01:53 AM

All of the options on the 2nd post would make me love it even more. How about an installer so we don't have to make the template edits, and when/if we every wanted to remove it, we wouldn't have to re edit the templates?

Any idea when the next release will be out? I know this is brand new, so I'll wait. I'm holding off on installing it until then.

Oh, and a reason to mark something un solved would be on auto forums.. problems that appear solved, but then come right back a day or 2 later.

4x4 Mecca · #19 06-09-2007, 03:12 AM

I would also like the option to use html in the solved text. So I could so something like this

HTML Code:

<font color='green'>Solved: </font>

FreshFroot · #20 06-09-2007, 05:11 AM

nice stuff.. but I need it for a specific forum id etc.. hopefully that will be in the next update. Great stuff

Hornstar · #21 06-09-2007, 07:27 AM

i like the list of future features. keep it up! nice work.
