Reason for closing thread

We hope most of you can use it
Sinecure has had the idea, which i thought is something nearly everbody who has ever been a mod wanted to have for a long time
I have to thank sinecure for the good templates, and for finding the funny mistakes i have made *gg*

edit:
nuno, i think we can do something similar for deleted threads too

Ok, basicly this hack does exactly as it says. After you click the "Open/Close Thread" link you will be prompted to enter a reason for closing the thread. After you submit the reason for closing that thread, the reason will appear ABOVE the first post in that thread, in its own seperate box.

An usefull & great hack. Well done, Xenon&Sincecure.

Actually that is a great idea. 1 problem though. I dont know Javascript that well, and I'm not sure about Xenon, maybe thats a possibility?

[Xenon]

Same problem, javascript is nothing i can do

[zachb]

Yea, javascript would be great.

Another possibly nice feature would be to have an ability to add various reason to say a drop down list that would automatically insert the reason. For lazy people like myself and for admins to kinda make a more uniform reasons.

Look at head_newpm template. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.

hehe i was working on this one sinecure, since we spoked on msn.. and i had it done so it posts automatically the message the same way the dropdown does...

also it post the reason on the forumdisplay....
if interested let me know and i will release it. i wanted to finish some bugs and email it to you so you can release it.. to late.
you did it on a different way.

the only thing i have left is to delete automatically the post when you open the thread again.

is good that you use vB in your localhost... huh?

Release it Nakkid, I'm curious about the features of yours also....or...you could integrate your features with his, and get the deserved credit, but then we'll have a really great hack.

hmmm . . I can't run the query for some reason,

I get this result:

SQL-query :

ALTER TABLE thread ADD `closereason` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL

MySQL said:

Duplicate column name 'closereason'
