This thread closed by? Ideas?

Anyone have any ideas on how to add a "This thread closed by (who ever closed it)" whenever a thread is closed?

Thanks,
Parker

ok,

That just went right over my head!

No problemo bira. Like I said I was just trying to get something out there for a temporary fix until someone else came up with something that really worked.

Ed I think I tried that and it didn't work.

Parker - That was to rangersfan. He asked about calling newreply.php from posting.php

Umm... I think it should. Pretty sure I've seen it done before. The only reason it didn't work in Perl was because of the shebang line (#!/usr/bin/perl)

I'm not sure how to repress what it returns (the page it returns I mean) though - that could be the problem.

Ermm well calling newreply.php is going to end up calling global.php again which is going to end up involving a cookie which is going to mean it is going to send header information and we can't at this point so we will at least get a warning message about header's already been sent..

Good point.

Your best bet is to ripout the posting code, and put that in a file called newreply.inc.php. Make sure you delete the redirect related stuff. Then just set the variables and "require" it in postings.php.

I am really interested in seeing what you guys come up with for this.

me too ... although i am more interested in a post and close thread hack

Any one want to take a stab at this hack still?

A pretty cool hack to.
