Automatically Close Old Threads After X Days · **Released**: 11-03-2006

This product will automatically close threads. Administrators have the option of setting the number of days until a thread closes, including or excluding sticky threads, and including or excluding forums by ID.

Threads can be closed X days after the thread was created or X days after the last post.

See this product in action on the Voxilla Forums.

Installation

Close Old Threads installs from a single XML file, no other file uploads are necessary.

The installation process automatically creates a php file in the cron folder, therefor the cron folder must be writeable by vBulletin.

You may need to chmod the includes/cron folder to 777 before installation and back (note your settings) after installation is complete.

The installer then creates a daily cron job.

Close Old Threads is inactive upon installation and must be configured and enabled from the vBulletin Options menu. See the attached screen shot for a sample.

Update

1.1 Administrators can now select all forums, or a subset of forums for inclusion or exclusion. The previous version only had options for all forums and an exclusion list.

Close Theads works with 3.6.3.

@eclectica - Since Close Threads doesn't track what threads it cloeses, it would be significant work to add that capability. I either use the vBulletin thread management tools or update the database records directly to bulk unclose threads.

Hi,

Great work...

I need to be able to close a thread after the first post is made. Can this be implemented into this mod easily or is there another mod out there that will do what I need??

Thanks

Jeff

Hi,

is there a way that threads are not closed, but deleted in some forums?!

Regards,

Tobi

Is there a way to make the thread close by the amount of posts instead of time?

This mod will not delete posts or close after so many posts.

Closing threads after x posts, would take significant changes to the operation and flow of this mod.

I also have a need for a mod to delete threads after so many days and will probably write a new mod, if I can't find one.

I would be interested in one. Some threads grow faster than others. Thanks.
