Archive Thread v1.2
by Snake http://www.vbulletin.org Author:Snake Compatibility: vBulletin 3.6.x and 3.5.x Mod Version: v1.2 Release: 26. Jan 2006 Last Updated: 22. Dec 2006 Category: Moderation View Panel Demo: Metal Gear Forums Support:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106327 Description: This will add an option under Thread Tools (see screenshot) to archive a thread to a designated forum. Main advantage of this it does not require for someone to have access to the forum. It also logs the action (both moderator log and thread log).
Bug fixes for this release
Please note that these bug fixes are only relevant to update from the last release.
Hooray, there are no bugs to fix at this moment!
Support
If you have any problems, questions or trouble installing my mod that are not covered in this file, please post them at the official support thread located at here in the appropriate forum. I will be more than happy to help in any way we can if the request for help is made there. Anyone trying to contact me via e-mail, private message, or any other means will be ignored.
Requirements
The exact requirements will depend on many factors, your estimated board traffic being one.
Server Requirements
You must have a web server that has PHP 4.1.0 (or better) and mySQL 3.23 (or better) installed. If you are unsure whether your server has these programs installed, please check with your web host now. If you are capable, you can always download PHP and download mySQL and install it yourself. If your web host does not support PHP or mySQL, consider hosting your entire web site or forums with Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd services. vBulletin works best on an Apache server, and is Apache 1 and Apache 2 savvy.
General Requirements
You do not need a new SQL database as vBulletin supports table prefixes to prevent tables being overwritten. You will also need the SQL username and SQL password for a SQL user that has permission to "CREATE", "DROP" and "ALTER" tables. You will need about 2MB of free web space and roughly 3MB of SQL database space to allow installation and a moderate sized community. If you are unsure on any of these points, please ask your web host before proceeding.
Modification History
Current Version: 1.2
1.2
Fixed a couple of bugs and added the ability of archiving threads in inline moderation (such as forumdisplay, moderation_threads, search_results, etc).
1.1
Switched to a product file.
1.0
First initial release of modification.
Donations
All donations great or small are appreciated to the greatest extent, whether it's for the modification itself or just a little incentive for myself. If you would like to donate then you can do so via PayPal.
Great idea. Is there a way to have it auto archive the thread at a set date instead of having to manually do it please? -Thanks!
Nah not really but I might be able to do that in the next release even though you don't really need to do that. What's the point of that anyway?

Yes that is true. Take a moment and look at vBulletin's ToS and you'll then know what I'm talking about.

Like I've said already, I can add that function in the next release of this hack but I don't think that is really necessary.

Yes it will remove the whole product completely on your board. And no, it will not leave the phrases that comes up with the hack. Once this product has been uninstalled, everything will be vanished that comes this hack.
First of all, you are not even allowed to have porn on your forum as it against the U.S. federal laws unless you do not live in the U.S.

what does vBulletin's ToS have to do with U.S. federal laws? i was saying that it's not true that U.S. federal laws do not prevent anyone from having pron on their privately own forum... which is what you said.
Well, I don't know but I have always thought having pornography on a bulletin board is always against the U.S. federal laws. Anyway, it doesn't matter and please keep the off-topic discussion somewhere else and not in my thread. You're already ruining it!
hey, i'm going to install this.. it'd be nice for a future version to have threads move after a certain date. i have "special" topics that i want to run for about two weeks as a "main topic of the week" and then have it auto archive after a certain amount of time.

no problem, didn't want to make you cry in public.. what are you two? just get your facts straight next time.

We are going to use vbulleting to post information that needs to be taken down on a specified date. The staff that is posting the material has requested that it automatically archive so they don?t have to keep track of which post to remove. If it can be done that would be really great!
I'm a little confused about the last part of the install directions:

4) Finally, you will need to enter the forum ID to archive all the threads that you'd like. Navigate to Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Archive Forum. Enter the forum ID to use it as the archive forum by hovering on the link (example: http://www.yourdomain.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=XXX). Where "XXX" is the ID of the forum.
Should I have created a new forum for use as an archive? I mean, I have an archive for the site in general, but I can't seem to locate the ID number. Where is the link on which I'm supposed to hover?
