Expired Threads (Auto Close Threads) · **Released**: 06-09-2005

Expired Threads v1.0.1

Click Install For Support
www.vBHackers.com

What this does
This will allow you as the admin to set a time limit till a thread is considered expired or in otherwords closed. If the thread happens to be expired, the user will see a error message. But a staff member (ie, mod, sup-mod, and admin) can unexpire the thread by posting in it, then the counter will start over again. (if you enable this in the admincp) This will prevent those anoyying thread digger members we all seem to dislike.

Installation
Read the readme.txt file

New UPDATE

Version 1.0.2

There was a small bug in the .xml file that caused some phrases to not to be inserted. This has been fixed.

Current users simply Import the new .xml file by going to Manage Products then click the [Add/Import Product] link. From there you can import the xml file that is included in the zip please click 'yes' to Allow Overwrite.

Nice hack ........ save's me time. Install is clicked

Only thing is missing text for days till thread expire (see attachment)

@nealparry

Logikos · #29 08-02-2005, 03:02 PM

I have a fix for this. When I get home i'll posted.

Cyricx · #30 08-10-2005, 04:04 PM

Hmm since he hasn't posted the fix for this yet (my co-admin installed this yesterday and it's still not fixed)

Here is the fix (install first, then do this)

Go to your Admincp -> Languages & Phrase -> Phrase Manager -> Add New Phrase

Phrase Type: Control Panel Global
Product: Expired Threads
Varname: how_many_days_till_expire
Text: How many days til thread is considered expired?

I accidentally set an entire forum acting as a category to expire all threads. When I tried to disable the thread expiration feature, the threads are still closed. Is there a faster way of opening them again?
