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.

any chance that this or other plugins can have the ability to lock threads with db.
i want the threads to get normal close after x days. no neef for extra permissions. administrators will still be able to "ignore" the lock just like normal

Not a problem, glad to help.

In the next version could we have the option to display a message at the end of the thread explaining it's closed because of X..

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&showposts=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.

Not sure if you're still looking for a solution but for the subscription.php page create a hook usersub_view_query name it whatever you want with the contents:

PHP Code:

require(DIR . '/dbtech/auto_close_threads/hooks/fetch_threadinfo_query.php'); 


For the search result page you'll need to do a manual query in another hook to expose the custom field added by the module to your search results. The hook you have to create is threadbit_process, with execution order 4 (so it comes before the other process hook from the autoclose plugin) with the contents:

PHP Code:

if(!isset($thread['dbtech_act_lastpost'])) {
global $vbulletin;
    $tresult = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
      SELECT t.dbtech_act_lastpost
      FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread AS t
      WHERE t.threadid = " . $thread['threadid'] . "
      ");

      $thread['dbtech_act_lastpost'] = $tresult['dbtech_act_lastpost'];
  }
