Administrative and Maintenance Tools - AutoBump - Automatically Bump Threads

This hack is compatible with vBulletin 3.5 and 3.6

AutoBump is a tool that bumps threads that meet certain admin-set conditions for a certain period of time. It is intended for busy forums in which some threads are buried before a user's question can be addressed.

AutoBump will run as a cron job every 30 minutes and will Bump threads according to the conditions you set in the admincp.

Settings include:

• Reply Count Limit - Restrict threads bumped by their reply count.
• Bump Threshold - Restrict threads bumped by their original post date. (To prevent threads from being perpetually bumped).
• ForumID List to AutoBump - Specify which forums ought to be affected by AutoBump.

Don't forget to Install.

screen shots?

There is really nothing to show. It automatically bumps threads, there is no user interface to speak of except the admin options which I detailed in my post.

Thanks Attilitus, this can come in handy on my busier site

ah its all good
just it may cause a bit more server stress for the high user forums

[Attilitus]

I don't see how it would cause a significant amount of server stress... It only runs as a cron job every 30 minutes and only affects threads posted within set parameters. (thus it won't be updating a large amount of threads on any given instance of the cron job)

Very usefull mod, really helps, thank you.

PS: would it be possible to include the option "exclude sticky's" for a next version?

[peterpigman]

It doesn't update the top thread on forumhome.

Can you implement group ID's for me please?

[Namaless]

Great Hack.. thanks to release this..

One request: is possible to add one button or one link to bump selected thread?

Regards.
