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.

Then it should look as seen on the screenshots.
It works as it should here, and seems no other has the problem you have, so i think you have made a little mistake in your templates

[Schorsch]

something in your installation.txt was wrong Xenon...

I changed the following in SHOWTHREAD Template:

<br>
$thread[closereason]
<br>

into:

<br> 
$closereason 
<br>

and now it works great

are you sure your showthread.php has this lines in it?

PHP Code:

if ($thread[open]) { 
  $replyclose="{replyimage}"; 
  $thread[closereason]=""; 
} else { 
  $replyclose="{closedthreadimage}"; 
  if (trim($thread[closereason])) { 
  $thread[closereason]=bbcodeparse2($thread[closereason],0,1,1,1); 
  eval("\$thread[closereason] = \"".gettemplate("showthread_closereason")."\";"); 
  } else { 
    $thread[closereason] = ""; 
  } 
} 


because if you don't have this lines exactly like i posted here, you don't have installed the latest version, and then it's logical that you have to use other variables (because in the old version the variable was called $closereason )

Here's the code you re-did for me because of the hack I have installed. Will this still work with your changes? This doesn't look the same in some areas as the new code. Just wanted to make sure after your last message.

PHP Code:

if ($thread[open]) {
  $closereason="";
  eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyopen")."\";");
} else {
  $thread[closereason]=bbcodeparse2($thread[closereason],0,1,1,1);
  eval("\$closereason = \"".gettemplate("showthread_closereason")."\";");
  if (ismoderator($thread[forumid],'canopenclose')) {
    eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyclosedmod")."\";");
  } else {
    eval("\$replyopenclosed = \"".gettemplate("showthread_replyclosed")."\";");
   }
}

yes it'll work.

the new code doesn't have strong codechanges, just a variable name has changed:
just replace all $closereason with $threadinfo[closereason] in this part of your code and in showthread template and you have the actualst version

[Boofo]

I think you measn to replace it with "$thread[closereason]" not "threadinfo[closereason]", right?

Also, I am really confused here. In the third line, you have $closereason but in lines 7 and 8 you have $thread[closereason]. Shouldn't that second line be $thread[closereason], also? Or am I missing the point again? I'm just going by what you told me to replace in that last message.

PHP Code:

if ($thread[open]) { 
  $replyclose="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/reply.gif"; 
  $closereason=""; 
} else { 
  $replyclose="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/threadclosed.gif"; 
  if (trim($thread[closereason])) { 
  $thread[closereason]=bbcodeparse2($thread[closereason],0,1,1,1); 
  eval("\$thread[closereason] = \"".gettemplate("showthread_closereason")."\";"); 
  } else { 
    $thread[closereason] = ""; 
  } 
}

yes, i meant $thread[closereason], sorry seems to be a bit confused these days

hmm i don't have $closereason in my file any more, you are correct it should also be $thread[closereason].
but it is here at my last file version

[Boofo]

You might want to check that file in post #4 again then. It still has the following in it (on line 3 of the replace part and a couple of other spots in the file). (And I did clean my cache )

PHP Code:

Step 2: Edit Showthread.php   (1 Modification)
----------------------------------------------
Find:
if ($thread[open]) { 
  $replyclose="{replyimage}"; 
} else { 
  $replyclose="{closedthreadimage}"; 
} 


Replace with: 
if ($thread[open]) { 
  $replyclose="{replyimage}"; 
  $closereason=""; 
} else { 
  $replyclose="{closedthreadimage}"; 
  if (trim($thread[closereason])) { 
  $thread[closereason]=bbcodeparse2($thread[closereason],0,1,1,1); 
  eval("\$thread[closereason] = \"".gettemplate("showthread_closereason")."\";"); 
  } else { 
    $thread[closereason] = ""; 
  } 
}

[PsYc]
