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.

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.

For this to work properly, the SHOWTHREAD template must be edited.
Not sure why you can not edit the template....

[Markos]

Yeah me too ive tried in all my styles and disabled all add-ons and still cant.

I got it mate god knows why but wouldnt save on chrome but will save on firefox

[blind-eddie]

That's good to hear. All browsers suck... each has issues and every site looks and functions different in each.

[Markos]

Yeah true.

See if i mark a post as sold and then unsold is it meant to put the For Sale tag back on as it doesn't set any tag once its marked unsold again

[blind-eddie]

There is no Un-Sold Tag, if it doesn't say Sold, its still available. lol

Installed on 4.1.9.. thanks man!

[bremereric]

Installed it on 4.1.3 before and it worked. Not quite the same code on the showthread style on vb 4.2.3. I double checked everything. It just won't show the option to mark it sold on the drop down menu. Here is the style code.

<vb:if condition="$show['addpoll']">
<li><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}poll.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newpoll&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase add_a_poll_to_this_thread}&hellip;</a></li>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['soldthread']">
<li><a href="sold.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=marksold&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase soldthread_marksold}&hellip;</a></li>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$show['soldthread_unsold']">
<li><a href="sold.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markunsold&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase soldthread_markunsold}&hellip;</a></li>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

[bremereric]

My bad I forgot to go into the usergroup permissions and allow it. I need the html code to turn the black sold to a red sold.

[bremereric]

In case someone else needs to the change the color of Sold in the thread prefix use this in the rich text box.

<font color=red>SOLD</font>
