End-User Options - Classifieds: Mark Thread as "Sold"

If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, and consider Nominate for MOTM and Support Developer <<


What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Sold". It will add the prefix "SOLD" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread. If you run a classified forum for your members this will give you a way to let users add a Sold prefix when the item is gone. Admins and mods can using to make items sold as well.

This is a modification of code provided by Eric.

Current Version

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.

I hate to ask this. I am drawing a blank, but i guess that comes with age. How do i make it bold and change the color of the SOLD?

Also, i have another forum just for Want to Buy, can i set a new prefix for this and have it work the same way, or is there more to it than just adding a prefix?

Hey thanks for looking, was able to get what I needed through "Phrases". Mod is great and fills a big need in my forum.

One small issue is that on forum.php, the last thread that was marked as Sold, is still showing the original prefix (WTS in my case). Any ideas?

4.1.3 is what shows on my forum.

That is the newest version I do believe.

any help would be awesome. I am willing to let you go inside if you need to. I will create a separate admin account for you.

Yeah I've installed and tested on 4.1.3 and it works fine. So if you need me to take a look and see about getting it right I can probably do that no problem as long as all the files have been upload it shouldn't take me that long at all to get it fixed up.

Do you have a link so I can take a look and see?

I was able to clear it by rebuilding thread/forum information. I'll let you know if it happens again.

Any reason to think 4.1.4 will break this?

I have no idea at this point. Planning on trying to load 4.1.4 this weekend on my test forum so I can test this product out, unless someone else tests it before I do.

Hey Venom. I also tried to install this on 4.1.4 and no luck.

http://www.maskedcrusader.com is my forum.

Looking forward to you figuring this one out as I need this mod badly for my forum

Thanks mate!

Hi Venom,

When you take a look at this hack and 4.1.4, and since this is meant for Classifieds, may I suggest a new feature that would auto-close the thread after a given time? Just an idea.

[CRDeveloper]

Very nice mod, how come i didnt saw it before
