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:

Yes.

Great mod - thanks!

Is it possible to allow a usergroup to mark threads as solved even if the user didn't originally create the thread? Also is this possible without it being the moderators usergroup?

If SecondV cannot continue development of this, then I will be gladly take over and port it over to the 3.7 section.

-- Jason

We are using vB 3.7.2 PL2 as well. Will install shortly. Hopefully it will be pretty straightforward. Thanks for updating this add-on with a working version for 3.7.2!

I installed this hack and I agree, it would be cool if there was an option for allowing other members than the thread starter to be able to use it.

For the future you plan to include an option to choose who solved the thread, please if possible allow also mark post that is considered as best solution...

Johnny Utah · #**219** 11-09-2008, 03:24 PM

Any updates with this mod on 3.7.x?

Thanks!

I'm having trouble with number 6.

Edit Post / Thread Permissions > Can Mark Threads as Solved for each usergroup.

Where can I find this option? THANKS!
