No support by the author.

This product will automatically close threads. Administrators have the option of setting the number of days until a thread closes, including or excluding sticky threads, and including or excluding forums by ID.

Threads can be closed X days after the thread was created or X days after the last post.

See this product in action on the Voxilla Forums.

Installation

Close Old Threads installs from a single XML file, no other file uploads are necessary.

The installation process automatically creates a php file in the cron folder, therefor the cron folder must be writeable by vBulletin.

You may need to chmod the includes/cron folder to 777 before installation and back (note your settings) after installation is complete.

The installer then creates a daily cron job.

Close Old Threads is inactive upon installation and must be configured and enabled from the vBulletin Options menu. See the attached screen shot for a sample.


Update

1.1 Administrators can now select all forums, or a subset of forums for inclusion or exclusion. The previous version only had options for all forums and an exclusion list.

That?s incredible!!.

I tried to install this hack and at the beginning doesn?t work but surprisingly, after a day, the hack works fine.

Now, I disabled this hack but the threads are still closed

Have you got any idea to solve it?

As stated in the instructions, this mod creates a cron job that by default runs once a day and closes the tickets that meet the closure criteria.

The tickets are closed by changing their status in the database.

There is no closure tracking or roll-back functionality on uninstall.

If you need to re-open closed threads, you would need to use the vBulletin web interface or create a sql script to change the thread status.

Any ideas if this will work on a vBulletin 3.5.x forum?
Or if there's an alternative to this for that version of the boards?

Thank you.
