Moderators Functions - Auto Move Closed Threads

Modification Title: Auto Move Closed Threads
Compatibility: 3.7
Tested On: 3.7 GOLD

What does the modification do?

This allows the Administrators to select a single forum for all closed threads to be moved too after a moderator decides to close the thread. The AdminCP options allows this modification to be enabled/disabled on individual forums.

This is useful if you always want closed threads to be moved to a trash forum.

thanks

is it possible mods will be able to choose move or stay closed in the forum in next versions ... ?

Well this automatically moves the thread...if people would prefer a chose after a thread is closed with a simple Yes/No option, I could probably implement it.

it will be great ..
thank you

[pow6713]

well one more suggestion

ForumXXX ----> ForumXXXarchives
ForumYYY ----> ForumYYYarchives
forumZZZ ----> forumZZZarchives

when admin set the destination forums for any forums, it will be more useful ( for me )

Would it be possible to implement a time frame? Like for an example, after thread X is closed, it will wait 1 day, then move thread X to forum Y ?

Thank you

Would be nice to have a redirect option
