Add Ons
Close thread after thread is considered resloved. Click Here for this Addon (Thanks to BeerMonster)

What this does
This will give thread starters the option to click a link to make a thread considered resolved. The way it works is simple. It will change the title of the post from 'I Need Help' to '[resloved] I Need Help'. This works as per forum basis and you can have this turned on/off on any forum you want. Only thread starters will see this option. If you want admins to see this option also, see This Thread Here

If you would like to change the text, open 'resolved.php' look at line 35.

To do list...

• Time to install: 3-5 minutes

• File Mods: 2
  • /admincp/forum.php
  • /showthread.php
• Templates to edit: 1
  • SHOWTHREAD
• Templates to add: 1

Please read carefully and make all the necessary changes as stated. This is will work if installed properly.

Also can the title change be different on different forum sections? I have a sell section and a website suggestion section and would like to use sold on the sell section and actioned/completed on the website suggestion section. Is this possible?

Live Wire,

I installed it and it worked just fine in my tests, but a member just reported that all members that replied in the specific thread can also see the "resolved" link.

Any clues?
Thx

Anyone have an idea of why I would be getting this message upon redirect?

"Could not find phrase 'resolved_thread'."

It displays in a regular looking redirect message with the link for when you don't want to wait any longer. I've checked all of my set up and went back through all but can't see where that would be coming from.

CAVEAT, I didn't study the code, just glanced at it.

Although I like the idea and if you called it the Resolved / Sold hack, former for tech support type forums and the latter for classified ad type forums, it would get an even bigger audience.

I probably won't install it though because it seems like overkill and too much overhead to add fields to forum and thread. Personally I think the hack would be better if it just changed the title without creating a flag (field) for resolved in the thread table.

As for specifying which forum it belongs in, I believe if you use conditionals, you can achieve the same effect by hard coding which forums you want it to operate in rather than adding isresolved to the forum table.

This hack is VB 3.05 compatiable.

Is it possible to move the thread to a specific forum, after its resolved?

We have a resolved forum! However we have a resolved forum for each section, so it would be good to be able to point which forum topics are moved to which resolved forums.

Thnx

Can someone give some help in getting this to work with 3.0.7, and how to add a link to the thread tools dropdown so only admins, mods and the thread starter.

Hmm... I don't get it. I added it, and so far only the thread starter and a certain usergroup can see it. But I never added that usergroup to see the link.

I used the exact code in the instructions:

<if condition="$firstpostinfo[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid]">
     $resolvedlink
     </if>

But the usergroup #8 can still see the link.

add the following to where you want it. So if you want it under Add a Poll to this Thread search for that and add it under.

<if condition="$firstpostinfo[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid] OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7">
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sortasc.gif" alt="Resolved" /> <a href="resolved.php?do=resolved&threadid=$threadid">Problem Resolved</a></td>
	</tr>
</if>

When I click the resolve link (Im admin) I get the no permission screen?

Any ideas?
