Reason for Closing Thread

This hack is my first released free hack.

It runs no extra queries so it should not make any load times longer.

How it works:
Once you click on Close thread in the Thread Tools menu, it will pop up with a javascript alert asking for the reason you are closing. You may click cancel or ok. If you inputted something into the box it will save it and appear at the top right above the first post.

Please click install if you install this hack.

*Note: This was only tested on vb 3.0.3. I have not tested it on any other versions and theoretically it should work, but I'm not sure.

How did you get that error? That should not happen. I made it so that if you did not fill in a reason it would not display. What were the steps you took to do that? Did you click cancel or ok or how did you do it?

EDIT:
Are you sure you did all the steps in the install? Are you sure you edited postings.php file correctly?

oh, yes .. your right .. i'm clicked Cancel ! with click Ok no problem .

thanks for support me

If you click cancel you shouldn't recieve that either.

[alqafelah]

that is what happened for me !

if i not write reason and click OK it's not display anything .. if CANCEL it's display !

[WhSox21]

What version of vb are you using? Can you post me lines 165-182 of your postings.php file? It's not doing that for me when I click cancel nor should it for you. There is something wrong with your install or something.

i'm using 3.03 ..
i will reinstall this hack and take what you request : ( all open/close section )

PHP Code:

// ############################### start do open / close thread ###############################
if ($_POST['do'] == 'openclosethread')
{
    // permission check
    if (!can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canopenclose'))
    {
        $forumperms = fetch_permissions($threadinfo['forumid']);
        if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW) OR !($forumperms & CANOPENCLOSE))
        {
            print_no_permission();
        }
        else
        {
            if (!is_first_poster($threadid))
            {
                print_no_permission();
            }
        }
    }

    // check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set
    verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);

    if ($threadinfo['open'])
    {
        $threadinfo['open'] = 0;
        $logaction = $vbphrase['closed_thread'];
        $action = $vbphrase['closed'];
    }
    else
    {
        $threadinfo['open'] = 1;
        $logaction = $vbphrase['opened_thread'];
        $action = $vbphrase['opened'];
        $_POST['reason'] = null;
    }

    log_moderator_action($threadinfo, $logaction);

    $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET open = $threadinfo[open], reason = '" . addslashes($_POST[reason]) . "' WHERE threadid = $threadid");

    $_REQUEST['forceredirect'] = 1;
    $url = "showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadid";
    eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_openclose'));

}

// ############################### start delete thread ###############################

Well, that file is correct. I'll see if I can't figure something else out?

[WhSox21]

I figured it out. It's related to IE. You can do this to simply fix the problem:
postings.php
***************

FIND:
-------------------
		$action = $vbphrase['closed'];
-------------------
BELOW IT ADD:
-------------------
		if($_POST['reason'] == 'null') $_POST['reason'] = null;

i installed it the box pops up But after wards there is no reason listed for closing thread.

Did you add the hidden field in showthread template?
