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 -->

Replace with;

<if condition="$show['addpoll']">

        </if>
    </if>
    <if condition="$show['adminoptions']">

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.

can you tell me where or how to add it so it can be in bold letters

[Jase2]

ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Solved Threads --> Excluded Forums

You simply enter the forum IDS that you don't want having the the "Mark threads Solved" option.

You can find the forumID by going to ACP --> Forum Manager --> Then edit a forum and you'll see the forumID at the top.

EDIT: Do you mean the "Mark threads Solved" under thread tools being bold?

wow you lost me there...lol yes i want the word solved to be in bold text..i went in phrase but nothing there,

[Jase2]

It's not that hard

If you mean making the "Solved" prefix bold, then that's not possible, unless you edit some of the coding.

ok thanks i'll wait for a solution

[Jase2]

I'll see what I can do for you, later today.

Cool Hack...thanks And Install!!!

[Jase2]

It seems that this isn't working on BETA 5. There is a permission problem, so when you set a usergroup to NO for "Mark threads Solved" .. it still allows them to mark threads solved.

I'm going to be looking through the coding, once I find the problem, I'll release the new version.

[sp0okz]

can we add diffrent names instead of solved such as rs.com divx etc

[Jase2]

Sure:

ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Solved Thread Prefix

Just put the name that you want to appear.

However, if your wanting to use it for something else, then you would need to edit the solved.php and the product to suit your needs.
