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.

Installed on 3.8.2.

Should I wait a while before it starts closing threads?

If anyone knows how to install this on 3.6.8 it would help.

Error opening file to writing is all I'm getting.

ok, I had to shell in, then cd into my 'includes' directory, then [/B]chmod 0777 cron

THEN I installed it and the error writing to file was no longer happening, it installed fine.

I force-ran the scheduled task and it successfully locked all threads with last post 30 days or older.

Great mod! (just wish it was in big bold letters that we have to chmod the cron directory before it would install)
