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!

I have installed the mod, but I get the following error message when I enable it:

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

***** = my website name!

Please help!

GREAT mod but I only want to enable it in my for sale and wanted section (about 10 forums) on over 180 forums. Would it be possible to have an include forum section instead of exclude?

Thanks!

Exactly what I want. Much more effective way. Most people will only use this hack in a few forums rather than using them in most. You could have two settings if you want. Please do this. Thanks

well I guess I can add that feature.
But instead, I think it would be cooler to learn how to add forum settings. Setttings for seperate forums. So you can set the setting for specific forus instead of having both exclude/include forums.

When do you think you can have this done. I kinda need it ASAP. Thanks man!

A feature that allows disabling this mod for each thread is highly needed. In the same forum, some discuss thread need so many posts but the others do not.

Sorry to post again, but I seem to be getting a common error

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

and don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

same here. get same error's they are getting

[ralle89]

That sounds so weird. The function "ral_canclose()" is defined in global.php (with hooks) so I can't understand why they cannot find it.
We need support :P
