Mark Threads As 'Solved' · **Released**: 06-07-2007

3.7 - 3.8 VERSION RELEASED, HERE

What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Solved". It will add the prefix "[SOLVED]" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.

This mod came about, around a year ago - with this thread. But I never released it... until now.

Current Version
1.0.1

Features flagged for future version(s):

Thread starter can choose to solve a thread, and input the username of who solved it - that user would recieve rep. points. (admin-configurable amount of rep. points)
Given the above - include count of threads a user has solved in postbit & profile
Possibly figure out a way to automate everything on install - so there are no template edits.

And anything else that is suggested

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.6 versions. I've not tested this on 3.5, but not much changed from 3.5 to 3.6 in this hack - so it should work on 3.5 as well.

Sounds cool. How do I install?

Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files (in the "upload" folder):

Code:

/
|_ solved.php

/images/
	/buttons/
	|_ marksolved.gif

/includes/
	/xml/
	|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml

Upload the files/folders keeping the same structure.
Import the product, product-solvedthread.xml

Wow, this is good news.

But, I'm kind of torn now, haha. I spent quite a while looking for this mod and would like to install it. But now I'm tempted to wait for the new version for 3.8. Do you have any kind of rough ETA for when it will be ready? Thanks either way

Sym0n · #**244** 03-17-2009, 06:56 AM

Ooh awesome news I need something just like this, especially the auto closure. SecondV any chance of having the 3.8.* version change the Post Icon (definable from ACP) at the same time as changing the prefix and closing? If so that would be every box ticked for me.

Having the the choice of which forums to include the solved ability in, instead of exclude, would be a bonus.

I'll mark this as installed now so I know when the 3.8.* version is out.

Thanks

Sy

Eric · #**245** 03-17-2009, 10:26 PM

Sorry for the late reply, there is no ETA atm on the release, but it is coming

Sym0n, with the core Thread Prefix system in vB, it allows you to select which forums this should be used in (in the admincp). So, that means the "excluded" forums with this mod will be removed for the 3.8.x version because I'm making it use the THread Prefix system

The icon idea, I'll see what I can do.

Sym0n · #**246** 03-22-2009, 03:42 PM

Ok cool, well no rush I'm looking forward to it's release though and the post icons would be awesome.

Thanks

Sy

Eric · #**247** 03-22-2009, 08:28 PM

For the icon idea, I do have one question. Do you mean the "Post Icons", ie, the one I assigned to this post (

)?

soundium · #**248** 03-24-2009, 07:49 PM

Do you wanna try to make the same system as Lithium Kudos System?

Eric · #**249** 03-24-2009, 09:21 PM

Lithium Kudos System? What's that?

EDIT: thanks wiki

Kudos are a way for a user to give positive feedback on a forum post. Subject to moderator controls, anyone in the community can kudo a message, with the kudos from super-users and moderators often carrying more weight. Kudos counts on forums quickly highlight the most popular content and time-scoped kudos leaderboards elevate that content to the community's front page.

Umm, no. My mod is simply to mark a thread as being resolved.

I know, but I wish your mod can do more as only mark solved :up:
