Reason for closing thread

We hope most of you can use it
Sinecure has had the idea, which i thought is something nearly everbody who has ever been a mod wanted to have for a long time
I have to thank sinecure for the good templates, and for finding the funny mistakes i have made *gg*

edit:
nuno, i think we can do something similar for deleted threads too

Ok, basicly this hack does exactly as it says. After you click the "Open/Close Thread" link you will be prompted to enter a reason for closing the thread. After you submit the reason for closing that thread, the reason will appear ABOVE the first post in that thread, in its own seperate box.

how i would make

PHP Code:

  $closereason=" closereason='".addslashes($reason)."',who='".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username]).', "; 


display the time and date when i do $thread[date] or $thread[time] ???

thanks for your time

@schorsch: hmm, seems i have made a small version incompatibility:
find

PHP Code:

eval("\$closereason = \"".gettemplate("showthread_closereason")."\";"); 
  } else { 
    $closereason = ""; 
  } 


and replace it with

PHP Code:

eval("\$thread[closereason] = \"".gettemplate("showthread_closereason")."\";"); 
  } else { 
    $thread[closereason] = ""; 
  } 


that should do the trick.

@tap: in your enterreason template you find this line:
<textarea name="reason" rows="6" cols="45" wrap="virtual" tabindex="2">$threadinfo[closereason]</textarea>
replace the $threadinfo[closereason] with whatever you want as a standart reason...

yes you can also do the other parst, but you have to add extra fields to your thread-table called whoclosed (or something like that) and for example when closed

Exactly how would we go about doing this, kind sir?

hmm, very much to explain

i think i'll include into next version ok?

[Boofo]

Sounds good. When will that be?

[Xenon]

*gg*
i don't exactly know, have to talk to sinecure before, and i have a lot of work here this days, but i think till next week is possible

[Boofo]

Great! I wasn't trying to pressure you, I was just curious.

BTW: What does *gg* mean?
