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.

Found it - Gota turn it on as its per forum in the options but........... when I do resolve the post I get this error:

Could not find phrase 'resolved_thread'.

Any ideas what it is?

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.

Does anyone know how to install this for 2 options.

I need 2 links..

One saying [SOLVED]
And one saying [DEAD]

So I need to put an extra link in the dropdown for the [DEAD] but how?

Anyone.

[lasto]

the realist does this work on vb3.0.7 if so will install it as was a good hack.

as for that `Could not find phrase 'resolved_thread'` could`nt u just make a new phrase to cover it ??

[The Realist]

It works fine on 3.0.7 as thats what Im using. I did add a phrase called resolved_thread but it still said "Could not find phrase"

Laters

[lasto]

ok cheers the realist

[JohnBee]

how can i get this to work in the posbit template

[JohnBee]

This hack seems a little problematic.
I installed and uninstalled it several times accross two forums and the same
problems occur.

1) the viewing permissions to toggle the resolved feature is passed down to
whoever answers the thread,
2) The phrases don't seem to come up.

Can anyone say if this hack works properly?

and if so what did you do to correct it.

[Kirk Y]

Mine worked fine. Although I made a little edit, I didn't use the $resolvelink variable, I simply took the URL used in the resolve_link template and put if conditionals around it and stuck the link in the Thread Options drop-down box. This way, I let Administrators be the only ones who can mark a Thread, resolved. Per you Permissions problem, did you enable the ability to Resolve threads? It's a Forum by Forum permissions system, meaning you need to go into the AdminCP and enable it through the Forums and Moderators section. As for the Phrases not showing up... are you sure you made them correctly and that they're in the Global group. See attached image for example.

Question: Is there anyway to do a link that says, "Un-resolve Thread"?

[yoyoyoyo]

I was reading the install info and noticed that the "showthread.php" template makes mention of a template that doesn't exist:

// eval('$resolvedlink = "' . fetch_template('resolved_nolink') . '";');

and the install info makes no mention of creating a "resolved_nolink" template, unless I am misreading the code or the instructions.
