Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Automatically Close Old Threads After X Days

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.

Who knows as it's not for vB3, why not just install a vB 4 Mod; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...Threads&page=4

Hate to ZOMBIE a plugin that prevents ZOMBIE posts, but this is working on 3.8.7 PL3 for me.
Saved a massive headache of recent ZOMBIE threads. The Chron is working, but if for whatever reason it acts up I'll post back here.

No such thing as zombie threads in the modification forum. This is the only place you can get support for a particular modification. Thanks for the heads up. As far as I can tell, it's been working fine on 3.8.5, as well. I don't think it uses anything exclusively inherent to the 3.7 series.
