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

The 3.7 version works fine on 3.8 pl 1. I have noticed that the [solved] prefix doesnt show on the index 'last post' view though. But it shows everywhere else its supposed to.

Please hurry and release the 3.8 version!!
