End-User Options - Classifieds: Mark Thread as "Sold"

If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, and consider Nominate for MOTM and Support Developer <<


What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Sold". It will add the prefix "SOLD" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread. If you run a classified forum for your members this will give you a way to let users add a Sold prefix when the item is gone. Admins and mods can using to make items sold as well.

This is a modification of code provided by Eric.

Same here and it's getting worse.

It's giving a huge error when I try to uninstall it

How to uninstall it?

[ScottishScoobie]

i would disable rather than uninstall, ive read all pages, and people were saying uninstall meant rebuild unless you have a good backup. nice susat too.

[ScottishScoobie]

Done nothing more than wait, and now its working.

voted for MOTM

[zascok]

I think I have got it. If one deletes the prefix manually and then try to uninstall this it will cause an error. I manually recreate the prefix and it unistalled just fine. (worth adding into the desrtiption) N

Now will try to install and wait

[zascok]

And now it works! waited for two or three minutes. Was witchcraft a part of programming?

Nommed in hope the next versions will have no hassle

[Superorb]

When I mark something as "unsold" the previous prefix isn't restored. Is there any way to add this functionality?

[ScottishScoobie]

i guess in the days of cable speed internet and SSD's we are just impatient to let systems get on and do their thing and settle down.

[addamroy]

I don't see any option to mark threads sold in the 'thread tools' menu... uploaded all files and made the template edit.

running 4.1.12

Nice Mod. With some changes (i want a "closed" instead a "sold" as Prefix, it´s what i´m looking for a long time. But one question (perhaps for another Version):

- Is it possible, to add more than one one "Sold" as chooseable Prefix? Perhaps so the User can easyly choose a wanted Prefix in the Thread Tools.

- Is it possible to prevent the Prefix from the normal Prefix-List when a User Post a new Thread?

[Sven Voet]

I got two errors, if i wanna install the Mod:

after changing the Showthread Code, i got the following Message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpexted T_STRING in ...../includes/adminfunctions_template.php(5432) : eval()'d code on Line 373

When i ignore the warning, i can´t read any Thread. Cause the following error occures:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpexted T_STRING in ...../includes/class_core.php(4633) : eval()'d code on line 373
