Add-On Releases - Mark threads 'solved'

What is this?

Well this modification will allow your members (based on users permissions) to mark their threads solved. It will simply add a prefix at the beginning of the title [Solved]. And if set in ACP - it will close the thread at the same time.

What version of vB does this work on?

This works on all 3.6.x versions and it also works on 3.7.0 (All BETAS)

How do I install?

Extract the zip

2. Upload the files/folders, following this structure:

/
|_ solved.php

/images/
	/buttons/
	|_ marksolved.gif

/includes/
	/xml/
	|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml

3. Import the product, product-solvedthread.xml

4. Make the following template edits:

In SHOWTHREAD;

Find:

<if condition="$show['addpoll']">
            <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/addpoll.gif" alt="$vbphrase[add_a_poll]" vspace="1" /> <a href="poll.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpoll&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[add_a_poll_to_this_thread]</a></div>

That's all Enjoy!

Please Note: SecondV is the maker of this and all credit goes to him .. he just gave permission to keep this hack going for future versions.

As I use this hack on my site here, I'll be keeping this mod going, as well as taking requests for new additions.

People who haven't mark this as installed won't receive support.

Features flagged for future version(s):

• Can be made work for x amount of forums in ACP.

Completed!

Suggest anything else if you wish.

Yes, it will. You can see here for examples: www.techsupportteam.org

Dude... only the first screenshot is working, the others aren't.

[Jase2]

Well I'm new to producing me mods here.

I uploaded them from my computer, so why they aren't letting you click them I don't know.

I can upload them to Photobucket and then post the links here.

can this be set to only work in one section of the board as opposed to the whole board.As it would be good for a Help section

[Jase2]

Yes, that can be flagged for future version(s).
