Add-On Releases - Mark threads 'solved'

What is this?

Well this modification will allow your members (based on users permissions) to mark their threads solved. It will simply add a prefix at the beginning of the title [Solved]. And if set in ACP - it will close the thread at the same time.

What version of vB does this work on?

This works on all 3.6.x versions and it also works on 3.7.0 (All BETAS)

How do I install?

Extract the zip

2. Upload the files/folders, following this structure:

/
|_ solved.php

/images/
	/buttons/
	|_ marksolved.gif

/includes/
	/xml/
	|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml

3. Import the product, product-solvedthread.xml

4. Make the following template edits:

In SHOWTHREAD;

Find:

<if condition="$show['addpoll']">
            <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/addpoll.gif" alt="$vbphrase[add_a_poll]" vspace="1" /> <a href="poll.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpoll&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[add_a_poll_to_this_thread]</a></div>
        </if>
    </div>
    <!-- / thread tools -->

5. Set options in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Solved Threads

6. Usergroups --> Usergroup Manager --> Can Mark Threads as Solved for each usergroup.

That's all Enjoy!

Please Note: SecondV is the maker of this and all credit goes to him .. he just gave permission to keep this hack going for future versions.

As I use this hack on my site here, I'll be keeping this mod going, as well as taking requests for new additions.

People who haven't mark this as installed won't receive support.

Features flagged for future version(s):

• Can be made work for x amount of forums in ACP.

Completed!

Suggest anything else if you wish.

aint it a bit useless if u allow it board wide ? i cant see the point in it because not every thread would need to be marked as solved.

[CypherSTL]

This would be 1000% great if you could do it on a per forum bases, would work excellent side by side with the Support Forums Hack.

[karel1985]

Great news, that the mod is continued :-)

any differences with the old version released by SecondV ?

I have made a special customization:

example:

http://www.pc-helpforum.be/f167/auto...oorgaazn-7852/

on the footer u see the box " Status van de vraag" (Status of the question)

Markeer dit onderwerp als OPGELOST (Mark this topic as SOLVED)
Markeer dit onderwerp als NIET OPGELOST (Mark this topic as UNSOLVED)

I've made this because a lot of people didn't find how to mark it as solved easaly and with this, people see it better.

If u need information, please contact me

Kind regards Karel

If people would like it like that, then I can always include it karel1985, just PM me on what you did.

Well, I use a computer forums site, therefore it's very useful for all forums. However, I can get it work on a per - forum basis.

[Meghwar]

Very Nice Mod

Installed

[Jase2]

I plan to start on the new version sometime soon.

So, now is the time to give me a few ideas, I may not include all in the next version, however.

Regards Jason

[Virtualshiner]

I think, as a lot of other people have, to make it just for certain forums that the administrator wishes.

[Jase2]

I am working to get it work on a per-form basis, it will be selectable via ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Solved Threads.

You will simply input the forum ids that you want it to work for, separated with a ,

Regards Jason

[Jase2]

Works on a per-forum basis.

Just go to: ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Solved Threads --> Excluded Forums

Simply enter the forum(s) id(s) that you don't want to have the "Mark threads solved" option, seperated by commas and you're done!
