Mark Threads As 'Solved' · **Released**: 06-07-2007

3.7 - 3.8 VERSION RELEASED, HERE

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.

This mod came about, around a year ago - with this thread. But I never released it... until now.

Current Version
1.0.1

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 3.6 versions. I've not tested this on 3.5, but not much changed from 3.5 to 3.6 in this hack - so it should work on 3.5 as well.

Sounds cool. How do I install?

Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files (in the "upload" folder):

Code:

/
|_ solved.php

/images/
	/buttons/
	|_ marksolved.gif

/includes/
	/xml/
	|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml

Upload the files/folders keeping the same structure.
Import the product, product-solvedthread.xml

Make the following template edits:

I have similar (or the same?) problem. I have no idea about coding etc. but it seems that hack wants to use "solved.php" script which is not present im my forums directory...
this is what shows in my browser address after trying to mark solved:
forumsdirectory/solved.php?do=marksolved&t=5

so i think it wants to use solved.php but it is not there...

I imported product and made necessary template changes.

The new version won't alter the thread title (in the database) to add "[SOLVED]" or whatever prefix you choose. It'll be done differently, so you might want to wait

Great Mod

gregfindley · #69 07-10-2007, 05:30 PM

Hi, installed this mod, all seems to be working fine, except for the fact its marking threads as closed when I have selected for it not to do so. It replaces the reply button within the thread with 'thread closed' button, even though when you click thread closed it takes you to the reply form!? Confusing!!!

Any ideas on how to sort this much appreciated!
My forum is www.ChessForums.org

(You can see a 'thread closed' solved thread in the feedback section)
Thanks
Greg

Hmm, interesting. I'll look into that and.. if you're an admin / mod that has powers in said forum - you can reply to closed threads

Regular users will see " Sorry! This thread is closed!"

A question before I start working on the new version, in the next few days.

On the "per forum" option, would you rather:

1.) Have an option in the mod settings to enter forumid's you WANT this ENABLED in
2.) Have an option in the mod settings to enter forumid's you WANT this DISABLED in
3.) Have an option in each forum's edit/creation page to enable / disable (if you have alot of forums, this could be time consuming)
