Mini Mods - [DBTech] Threads Auto Close v1 (vB4)

What is Threads Auto Close?
Threads Auto Close is a professional forum management mod, allowing administrators to automatically close threads after X post or X replies.

Close Threads Automatically is the ideal product to eliminate the bumping of older threads.

Threads are not closed in the database, they appear as if they were closed. So, if you deactivate or uninstall the mod, threads appear as open again.

Note: Threads that are marked as closed by this mod via the Auto Close After X Replies setting, can not be reopened due to the fact that they have reached the max replies you set. Only way to re open them is to increase the reply limit or disable that feature.

It will be taken into consideration for future versions.

Any idea about the date of this future version? (more or less)

[DragonByte Tech]

No, unfortunately we don't give our times, due to the fact that it can change to much.

can you do it like this : set time for each thread to auto close

[Pocket Aces]

Is this mod able to set desired number of replies to trigger auto-close per forum?
I mean, can we set different numbers of reply per forum? Let's say forum1 will auto close after 5000 replies and forum2 will auto close after 50 replies. A setting like that maybe in the ACP > Forum Manager > Edit Forum

[ozzy47]

No there is no such setting in the mod to do that.

[Unfolded90]

The auto close feature isn't working.
I have it set to auto close forums after 60 replies in all forums, However nothing happens

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you please show me a screenshot of your configuration & a screenshot of the thread list showing some threads that should be closed, so I can try to replicate it locally?

Also, have you tried disabling all other mods in case there's a conflict?

I downloaded and installed this mod last night. And tonight members are complaining that current threads are showing up as closed. After researching this complaint I've realized that all threads show as closed when viewing the Subscribed Threads Quick Link. All other forum views work as expected.

The Subscribed Threads link is set up with a Target URL of subscription.php{session.sessionurl_q}.

Is there something I can add to this URL to fix the bug? I already tried adding contenttype=vBForum_Thread; but all displayed threads still showed up as Closed.

Edit: Looks like this bug exists on My Posts as well. This Target URL is search.php?do=finduser&userid={bbuserinfo.userid}& contenttype=vBForum_Post&showp osts=1. When I change showposts=0 or remove it, this link then becomes My Threads, which works correctly. Something is missing when showing the given member's actual posts in a list.

So, there are 2 areas that appear to need updating.
