fixed threads actually getting bumped when killed lol...
Description: [hr]value[/hr]
Gives you another option rather than deleting or closing you can kill the topic. Which will leave the topic there and open, but when someone responds to it, it will not bump the topic. So basically it just falls down the list.

Great mod. I found that this version of it caused an error in my quick replies and posts, though. Specifically the hook variable in class_dm_threadpost begins with an extra }. I guess it is a conflict with some other things I have installed: passiveVid, MiserableUser, IPInfo, Members Who Have Visited, and randomImages (passiveVid being the most recent).
After posting, here is the error displayed briefly by vB:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/abc/public_html/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(829) : eval()'d code on line 1
The line dealt with $hoof, so I printed it out right before the error and this is what was printed:
}if ($this->info['thread']['killed'] == TRUE) { $this->post_save_each_post($doquery); $thread->set('lastpost', $this->info['thread']['lastpost']); $thread->save();
Coders Shack, is it possible for you to provide us the Changes on Plugins "topicKill - Show Killed Icon" and "topicKill - Template Edits" that can Work on vB 3.7.3?
I've seen that the Mod Works but Don't Display the Icon and also Don't Display the Changes threadbit "Las Post by", both of this Changes made by the 2 Mentioned Plugins. (The Topic Gets Killed, doesn't Update the Date of the Thread, but those 2 Small Details that Show the Thread as Killed don't Display). (In my Tests the rest of the Features work Well on vB 3.7.3).
I'd appreciate that a Lot, I like a lot this Mod and would like to Continue Using it on vB 3.7.3.
Is there a way to make it 'stealth'? It would be great if I could kill a thread, but no indication would appear; no one would know. The post would just silently slip down the queue.
So, I'd need to change the code so that there would be no 'kill' icon and no 'last post'. It would appear to look like any other thread.
I can see on vB 3.7.3 that somehow the Field "Kill" is created on the "thread" table, and that the Mod allows the User to Stablish the Status Killed (1) or Revived (0) for that Field for each Thread.
But somehow in the Plugin "topicKill - Show Killed Icon" that corresponds to a "threadbit_process", the Code
Code:
// show killed folder?
if (($thread['killed']) && ($vbulletin->options['topicKill_enabled'])) {
$thread['statusicon'] = '_killed';
}
don't detects the field $thread['killed'], not even by using it directly on the threadbit Template; what is wrong in that sentence that vB 3.7.3 don't read the Field "Killed" of the Table "thread" for the respective Thread?
I think the logic of the Sentence is right but it beats me why vB373 don't read the value of the field "killed" from the table "thread".
Perhaps this same thing is happening on the Plugin "topicKill - Template Edits" on the Code lines,
somehow seems like the Code isn't detecting the Condition "$thread[killed] == FALSE" and always assigns it a False Value (0) or perhaps Nothing, so it always displays the default Code without the Changes when Killed = 1 (TRUE).
I hope Coders Shack or other Forumer with Experience can give us the Solution.
I'm interested in a hack/plug-in with this functionality. Does this actually work with 3.7.x? Is there another hack/plug-in with this functionality that works with 3.7?
