My time is very limited these days, with my full time job. I have marked this mod as re-usable code, if any other coder wishes to continue work on it. I may still try to support this mod as time permits.

What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Solved". It will add the prefix "[SOLVED]" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.

Current Version
1.1.2 - You can find the 3.6.x version, here.

Features flagged for future version(s):
  • Thread starter can choose to solve a thread, and input the username of who solved it - that user would recieve rep. points. (admin-configurable amount of rep. points)
  • Given the above - include count of threads a user has solved in postbit & profile
  • Possibly figure out a way to automate everything on install - so there are no template edits.
And anything else that is suggested

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.7 - 3.8 versions. This will not work on 4.0. If you are looking for a vB4 version, you can find it here.

Sounds cool. How do I install?
  1. Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files:

    Code:
    /
    |_ install.html
    |_ product-solvedthread.xml
    
    /upload/
    |_ solved.php
    
    	/upload/images/
    		/buttons/
    		|_ marksolved.gif
    
    	/upload/includes/
    		/xml/
    		|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml
  2. Upload: (in the below instructions 'yourforum' would be where you have vBulletin installed)
    • /upload/solved.php to /yourforum/solved.php
    • /upload/images/buttons/marksolved.gif to /yourforum/images/buttons/marksolved.gif (upload to each style folder, if you have more than one style)
    • /upload/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml to /yourforum/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml
  3. Import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml by going to: AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
  4. Make the following template edits to all of your installed styles:

    SHOWTHREAD

    Find:
    HTML Code:
    		<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:
    HTML Code:

    			</if>
    		</if>
    	</div>
    	<!-- / thread tools -->
    Find:
    HTML Code:
    	<if condition="$show['addpoll']">

    	</tr>
    		</if>
    	</if>
    	<if condition="$show['adminoptions']">
  5. Set options in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Solved Threads
  6. Edit Solved Threads Permissions > Can Mark Threads as Solved for each usergroup.
  7. To setup the forums it can be used in, follow the instructions in this post.

Upgrade
To 1.1.2 from 1.1.0/1.1.1
  1. Re-import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml, with "Allow Overwrite" set to yes
  2. Upload the files/folders in the "upload" folder, allowing it to overwrite the old files.

To 1.1.x from 1.0.0
  1. ATM, it is not advised to do an upgrade from previous versions to this one if you already have 1.0.0 installed. Fresh installs should be fine.


That's it! Enjoy!

Changelog
1.1.2 - January 15, 2010
- Updated the product file, permissions, and phrases. This should, hopefully, resolve the blank page problems, along with the permission not showing up for usergroups.

1.1.1 - July 21, 2009
- Updated the product plugins and phrases, this should solve the blank page problem, and the problem of the option not showing in Admincp for ug permissions.

1.1.0 - April 14, 2009
- Small updates to xml file, no version # change. If it works for you, no need to do anything.
- If you have problems uninstalling, please see this post.

- Updated for 3.7 & 3.8
- Now uses the built-in Thread Prefix system

- Added the ability to unsolve a thread.
- Added the ability to exclude this in certain forums

It works. I have installed it on 3 different forums, and it works fine.

Doesn't seem to work for DjEddie though. I'm thinking possibly it's due to another mod he has installed.

Made some changes to the product XML - version number not changing.

Those having problems, please uninstall the mod completely - and try reinstalling. If the product won't uninstall:

Go to Manage Products -> Mark Threads As 'Solved' -> Edit -> Go

Edit the uninstall code, find and remove:

PHP Code:
// #######################################################################
$solvedthread_prefixsetdm =& datamanager_init('PrefixSet'$vbulletinERRTYPE_CP);

$solvedthread_prefixset $db->query_first("
    SELECT *
    FROM " 
TABLE_PREFIX "prefixset
    WHERE prefixsetid = 'solvedthread'
"
);

$solvedthread_prefixsetdm->set_existing($solvedthread_prefixset);
$solvedthread_prefixsetdm->delete();
unset(
$solvedthread_prefixsetdm);

if (!
function_exists('build_prefix_datastore'))
{
    require_once(
DIR '/includes/adminfunctions_prefix.php');
}

build_prefix_datastore();

// #######################################################################
$solvedthread_prefixdm =& datamanager_init('Prefix'$vbulletinERRTYPE_CP);

$solvedthread_prefix $db->query_first("
    SELECT *
    FROM " 
TABLE_PREFIX "prefix
    WHERE prefixid = 'solvedthread_solved'
"
);

$solvedthread_prefixdm->set_existing($solvedthread_prefix);
$solvedthread_prefixdm->delete();
unset(
$solvedthread_prefixdm);

build_prefix_datastore(); 
Save.

Then try to uninstall again.

This may be outside of the scope of your mod, but would it be possible to add an image before or after the title of a thread instead of the "Solved" prefix?

How exactly is this meant to work? I uploaded the files and the XML, made the template edits. I have the [SOLVED] prefixes, how am I meant to mark as solved? I see no tick box or otherwise. Am I meant to edit the thread and add the prefix manually?

You need to click 'Thread Tools' to be able to mark the thread as solved. If the template edits were done correctly then there will be a icon saying 'Mark as solved'

If it works for you, that's fine, no need to

It uses the "Thread Tools" menu. You should see an option to solve/unsolve a thread. Be sure to edit usergroup permissions, thread prefix permissions, etc.
