Quick Close/Open Thread (with reason)

This hack will allow you to [high]close/open a thread[/high] in 2 ways:
1. By entering a reason, while viewing the thread.
Let's see you view a thread and you find some post that is irrelevant to the content of your board (advertising, spam, etc).
The normal way is to go and reply and right after to close the thread.
Not anymore. Once entered the reason, vBulletin will post that message and close the thread for you automatically.
To re-open it, it goes the same way.

2. By adding an attachment or special note to your new thread or reply.
Let's see you want to open a new thread, make an attachment and close rightaway the thread.
All you have to do is check the box related to Close/Open Thread. vBulletin will post that message and close the thread for you automatically.
For new replies goes the same way. By simply checking the box, vBulletin will post your reply and Close/Open the thread.

[high]ADVANTAGES[/high]
- no queries or database modifications are needed
- the hack is template based, so you can customize it in few seconds
- only people who have the right to open/close threads on your board will see this option

You say find this in newthread.php:

PHP Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and !$previewpost) {
    if ($bbuserinfo[signature]!="") {
      $signaturechecked="CHECKED";
    } else {
      $signaturechecked='';
    }
    if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
      $emailchecked="checked";
    } else {
      $emailchecked='';
    }
  } 


But I can only find this:

PHP Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and !$previewpost) {
    if ($bbuserinfo[signature]!="") {
      $signaturechecked="CHECKED";
    }
    if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
      $emailchecked="checked";
    }
  }

If I just follow the instructions for newthread.php and newreply.php, can I just make it work with the checkbox? I'm not intrested in having the quick close on the showthread.

go ahead and replace it. it will work. vb226 have this difference between newthread.php and newreply.php. probably you run a different version.

ya, it should work from 222 to 226...
but always check the code before you modify. do not start any hack unless you have all the code identical. that's how is done always with older versions. let me know if you got it working and i will add it in the first post as "tested in version"...

[high]UPDATE[/high]
I just looked at the code and realised that I forgot a bracket in newthread.php (step 4).
FIND this code:

        eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_openclose")."\",\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid\");");
      } else {
        eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_postthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");

REPLACE it with:

        eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_openclose")."\",\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid\");");
      } else {
        eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_postthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");
      }

Sorry about this. The .txt attachment is updated now.

I have the quick reply box at the bottom of showthreads, with clickable smiley box. When I insert this:

PHP Code:

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$closeopenreason
<!-- /spacer --> 


It breaks the clickable smilies. If I remove $closeopenreason, the smilies work fine.

Everything works fine, except the smiley problem.

[squawell]

i have a question.....

how do i make it show reason:OOXXin post!!

[TECK]

replace:

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="message" size="50" tabindex="1">

with:

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="message" value="[ b]Reason:[ /b] " size="50" tabindex="1">

remove the space in front of [high]b][/high] to have it bold, or put there what ever BBCode you want.
