Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Custom Board Closed Message

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Something I recently saw requested.

This allows you to display a completely custom page to members when you close your forum (instead of the current standard error type page).

Note: The supplied "Board_Closed" template is pretty basic, you should customise it to suit your needs.


History:

v1.01 : Initial vb 3.6 release.
v1.02 : Added Template Caching.

You should see the little lock icon for those users, indicating they are getting the closed message.

That's interesting... thanks .. :up:

I'll look for that next time I shut it down ...

I really like this mod. It let's one create a highly customized and personally styled page when you shut down the board. I've even incorporated pics to entertain...

Thanks again Paul. Please keep these unique and neat add-ons coming...

Regards,
Badger

Great hack but I must admit it's kind of confusing since I am the admin and I am viewing the admin panel but when I go to forum homepage I'm getting my custom page as well (even though I'm logged in as admin).

Thanks

hey is it possible to add something to the template that takes the text you written in the option area so you don´t need to go to the template to edit the messages?

There are no plans to change this at all.

Yes, it's a template, you can put variables in it just like any other template.
