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.

you should be able to use $thread[closereason] in your forumdisplaybit templates...

<tr align="center">
    <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$thread[newoldhot].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">$thread[icon]</td>
    <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left" width="70%"><normalfont>$thread[gotonew] $paperclip$thread[movedprefix]$thread[typeprefix]<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]">$thread[title] $thread[closereason] </a></normalfont> <smallfont>$thread[pagenav]</smallfont></td>

it should be that it still have the old message until you delte it and write another one..

the username isn't included in the official release, if you use the modifications i told in the thread, they should work, but it's not 100% because i didn't test em

i know man....but i did test it.....i used your newest release and the showing name add-on

[Xenon]

sorry c.birch my fault, you have to edit forumdisplay.php
find this

PHP Code:

$threads=$DB_site->query("
SELECT $dotuserid $votequery ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."
    thread.threadid,thread.title,lastpost, forumid,pollid,open,replycount,postusername,postuserid,
    lastposter,thread.dateline,views,thread.iconid,notes,thread.visible,sticky,votetotal,attach
    FROM thread
    ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'LEFT JOIN icon ON (icon.iconid = thread.iconid)','')."
    $dotjoin
    WHERE $threadids 


or similar and after votetotal,attach
add
,closereason

ziru$: well i can't give full support on add-on i posted i the thread because some wanted as long as i don't test them myself how the work...
i've planned to update the hack but i don't have much time these days...

Zirus: I have this installed on 2.2.8, the instructions that Xenon posted a page back or so, they work fine. I closed a thread. It showed the reason and who did it. I opened it. I closed it, deleted the full reason already there, put in something else and it still showed who closed it.

[N9ne]

I've found a problem, when I close a thread, give a reason, then open it and then I go to newreply.php [I have a hack so that there's a checkbox to close thread upon newreply and newthread], when I close the thread in that way, the thread is closed but the reason comes up again! [it shouldn't, as I haven't given a reason!] and it uses the same username as the person who gave that reason when it was closed first...

[Xenon]

Tha Rock, that's a problem with your quickclose hack.

i don't know it exactly, but somewhere in newreply you'll find something similar like this:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET open=0.....

you have to change it to:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET open=0,closereason=''.....

[!!!cyr0n_k0r]

the screen shots dont work.

[N9ne]

Xenon: I can't find anything like that in newreply.php...I can't even find open=0...

[Xenon]

well i don't know the hack, so i can't help you out then, you should ask in the supportthread of that hack...

normally such a line has to be in it, because that would be the query to close a thread..
