Add-On Releases - Mark threads 'solved'

What is this?

Well this modification will allow your members (based on users permissions) to mark their threads solved. It will simply add a prefix at the beginning of the title [Solved]. And if set in ACP - it will close the thread at the same time.

What version of vB does this work on?

This works on all 3.6.x versions and it also works on 3.7.0 (All BETAS)

How do I install?

Extract the zip

2. Upload the files/folders, following this structure:

/
|_ solved.php

/images/
	/buttons/
	|_ marksolved.gif

/includes/
	/xml/
	|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml

3. Import the product, product-solvedthread.xml

4. Make the following template edits:

In SHOWTHREAD;

Find:

<if condition="$show['addpoll']">
            <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/addpoll.gif" alt="$vbphrase[add_a_poll]" vspace="1" /> <a href="poll.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpoll&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[add_a_poll_to_this_thread]</a></div>
        </if>
    </div>
    <!-- / thread tools -->

Replace with;

<if condition="$show['addpoll']">
            <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/addpoll.gif" alt="$vbphrase[add_a_poll]" vspace="1" /> <a href="poll.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpoll&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[add_a_poll_to_this_thread]</a></div>
        </if>
        <if condition="$show['solvedthread']">
            <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/marksolved.gif" alt="$vbphrase[solvedthread_marksolved]" vspace="1" /> <a href="solved.php?$session[sessionurl]do=marksolved&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[solvedthread_marksolved]</a></div>
        <else />
            <if condition="$show['solvedthread_unsolve']">
            <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/marksolved.gif" alt="$vbphrase[solvedthread_markunsolved]" vspace="1" /> <a href="solved.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markunsolved&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[solvedthread_markunsolved]</a></div>
        </if>
    </if>
    </div>
    <!-- / thread tools -->

Find:

<if condition="$show['addpoll']">
    <tr>
        <td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/addpoll.gif" alt="$vbphrase[add_a_poll]" /> <a href="poll.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpoll&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[add_a_poll_to_this_thread]</a></td>
    </tr>
    </if>
    <if condition="$show['adminoptions']">

Replace With:

<if condition="$show['addpoll']">

        <td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/addpoll.gif" alt="$vbphrase[add_a_poll]" /> <a href="poll.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpoll&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[add_a_poll_to_this_thread]</a></td>
    </tr>
    </if>
    <if condition="$show['solvedthread']">
    <tr>
        <td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/marksolved.gif" alt="$vbphrase[solvedthread_marksolved]" /> <a href="solved.php?$session[sessionurl]do=marksolved&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[solvedthread_marksolved]</a></td>

    </tr>
        </if>
    </if>
    <if condition="$show['adminoptions']">

5. Set options in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Solved Threads

6. Usergroups --> Usergroup Manager --> Can Mark Threads as Solved for each usergroup.

That's all Enjoy!

Please Note: SecondV is the maker of this and all credit goes to him .. he just gave permission to keep this hack going for future versions.

As I use this hack on my site here, I'll be keeping this mod going, as well as taking requests for new additions.

People who haven't mark this as installed won't receive support.

Features flagged for future version(s):

• Can be made work for x amount of forums in ACP.

Completed!

Suggest anything else if you wish.

I'm sorry to hear that, but unfortunately I do not know. He released it here; therefore I assumed he was the original creator.

Sorry, I should have said that you should allow the thread starter to mark thread as 'x' as well as anyone with mod permission. Also far easier to not have to go to thread tools -> edit thread.

I have tried multiple times, yet he seems he isn't interested. I have no problem with you deleting this hack.

I'm planning to work on a major rewrite of this. We'll have to see. If I do, then I don't see why none of your ideas can be implemented.
