Miscellaneous Hacks - Automatic Thread Closing

A new version is available from here. It is 3.7 but also works with 3.6 (and probably 3.8).

Hello guys this is my first mod!

Features:

• Forum immunity
• Option to close sticky threads or not
• Enable/disable hack
• Set timelimit
• All settings can be set in ACP
• Option to close thread after X amount of thread

Why?
I was getting tired of all those people necro-posting, posting in threads that are up to three years old. This is my solution

Time to install:
Less than one minute

History:
1.00 release
1.10 threadbit display closed
1.20 all settings through ACP
1.30 close thread after reply-count
1.40 bugfix
1.50 dunno what I did
1.60 added the feature to select whether you want the list of forum ids to either be the forums which's threads that should not be closed or the forums which's threads that should be closed

After billions of requests, I have finally done what you did!

Note
Don't forget to click Mark as Installed!

It's not useful to have an "exclude" option. It should be include. Or both... Now I have to add ALL the forums I have opened, except one =\

Edit: And now I have to open all the threads that were closed... *sighs*

No you don't. Cause they are not closed. It's just something people thinks. I edit the data just before it is outputted, and NOT in the database.

I get the following error;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ral_canclose() in /home/forum/public_html/showthread.php(346) : eval()'d code on line 3

Hi, thought it would close thats 1 month after the last post, but it closes threads 1 month after they were created, anyway to get this to work for x time after last post?
Also can you get it to posta message saying this thread was auto-locked and the reason?

[ralle89]

that's what I fixed

I am also getting that error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ral_canclose() in /home/dpatel/public_html/forums/forumdisplay.php(905) : eval()'d code on line 3

It happens whenever I click on any of my forums.

Great mod. Let me suggest changing the name to "Automatic Old Thread Closing" so people know off the bat what the mod is for.
