Reason for closing thread

We hope most of you can use it
Sinecure has had the idea, which i thought is something nearly everbody who has ever been a mod wanted to have for a long time
I have to thank sinecure for the good templates, and for finding the funny mistakes i have made *gg*

edit:
nuno, i think we can do something similar for deleted threads too

Ok, basicly this hack does exactly as it says. After you click the "Open/Close Thread" link you will be prompted to enter a reason for closing the thread. After you submit the reason for closing that thread, the reason will appear ABOVE the first post in that thread, in its own seperate box.

what about having it clean out the values for closereason and whoclosed when reopening the thread asthis info is redundant then anyway?

like, in postings.php replace:

PHP Code:

$closereason=" closereason='".addslashes($reason)."',whoclosed='".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username])."', ";
} else {
$closereason=""; 


with:

PHP Code:

$closereason=" closereason='".addslashes($reason)."',whoclosed='".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username])."', ";
} else {
$closereason=" closereason='',whoclosed='', "; 


imho this should stop interfering of the hacks as this opening rotine should be called by the other hack too...

if you are running TECK's Quick Reply Box (with Close/Open thread switch) hack, you will need to do additional edits of this hack.

you have pasted this:

PHP Code:

        if ($threadinfo[open]) {
          $threadinfo[open]=0;
          $action='closed';
        } else {
          $threadinfo[open]=1;
          $action='opened';
        }

        $threadinfo[notes]="Thread $action by $bbuserinfo[username] on ".vbdate($dateformat." ".$timeformat,time()).". $threadinfo[notes]";
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET open=$threadinfo[open],notes='".addslashes($threadinfo[notes])."' WHERE threadid='$threadid'"); 


2 times in newreply.php and 1 time in editpost.php during the installation of TECK's hack.

if you replace now all three occurences with this:

PHP Code:

        if ($threadinfo[open]) {
          $threadinfo[open]=0;
          $action='closed';
        } else {
          $threadinfo[open]=1;
          $action='opened';
        }
if($threadinfo[open]==0) {
$closereason=" closereason='".addslashes($reason)."',whoclosed='".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username])."', ";
} else {
$closereason=" closereason='',whoclosed='', ";
}
        $threadinfo[notes]="Thread $action by $bbuserinfo[username] on ".vbdate($dateformat." ".$timeformat,time()).". $threadinfo[notes]";
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET ".$closereason."  open=$threadinfo[open],notes='".addslashes($threadinfo[notes])."' WHERE threadid='$threadid'"); 


the both hacks should be working together. at least they do for me now. afaik you dont need to edit something in the fileedits to newthread.php

Sorry to bring this back up, just installed it and am getting this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/vb/postings.php on line 53

And that line is:

PHP Code:

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_openclose")."\",\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid\");"); 


Any idea's? :ermm:

[Xenon]

well, perhaps you've forgotten a ; a line before...

this line seems correct, and works here

[nemesis01]

Bummer, cant figure it out. Might another hack be the problem? Interfering with it I mean.....

[Xenon]

it shouldn't...

can you post 5 lines above and under this one line?

[nemesis01]

My bad, fixed it after 2 hours staring at the same 2 lines. Problem was an extra '"); had been added for some reason to the line above.

Thanks for your time anywayz.

I run 2.2.8 and after i closed & reopened a thread the reason still appears.

This is what I've done:

In postings.php search for:

PHP Code:

$closereason=""; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:


$closereason=" closereason='', "; 


Thanks to krefft

Any ideas as to why the reason will not show? I have the quick reply hack applied but didn't see the code that others mentioned.

[drumsy]

Well, after using information from many posts here, I've finally gotten this to work perfectly! Thanks everyone!
