Mark as Sold · **Released**: 10-09-2011

What is this?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Sold". It will add the prefix "SOLD" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread. If you run a classified forum for your members this will give you a way to let users add a Sold prefix when the item is gone. Admins and mods can using to make items sold as well.

As requested coded my vB4 mod to work with vB3.8. So enjoy and if you like it please nominate.

abdobasha2004 · #3 10-10-2011, 10:16 AM

nice mod, would like to develop it to a larger scale to make certain forums suitable for trade

Black Tiger · #4 10-10-2011, 10:20 AM

Nice, but you forget to make a little change at line 8:

•You'll see: Solved Thread on the left, [Add Prefix] [Edit] [Delete] on the right. Choose Edit.

Should be "Sold Thread".

I changed the solved thread mod to a "sold" setting some time ago, works fine.

I have just installed this and I have a couple issue. One is that the mark thread as sold is showing up twice (images attached) and second is the thread prefix should only show up after the thread is posted not during the posting of a new thread image attached also

bada_bing · #6 10-10-2011, 08:22 PM

OK I was able to get 1/2 my issue resolved which was the mark thread as sold is showing up twice this was because the style I am using has the images folder located somewhere else so I fixed that but I need to be able to not show the thread prefix option when starting a new thread? Should should not show because the user would not be marking the sales thread SOLD if he is just now posting it, just confusing my members

In order for the mod to work properly it has to show the prefix during posting. If it didn't show during posting it would not be able to add it after the fact. It may suck to see it initially during posting, but it's just an option that a member wouldn't select if they are trying to sell their items. I've been using this mod for a while on my forum and have never had a member say anything since I also have for sale, WTT, WTB prefixes and they just make the selection they need.

I can look in to it, but I just don't think there is a way around it.

Yea I can see this causing some confusion if this option is available during posting, also I have a selling forum which this mod fits in great but the word SOLD does not fit correctly in the Want to Trade and Want to Buy forums? curious how you are using this mod in the other two forums if the wordage is SOLD ?
Example is I post something in the want to buy forum, something like this ... Looking for this product xxxx.. How would SOLD fit in that thread?

I only use this for items that are sold. If someone is looking to buy and they find it they usually just post they got it and then I can manual close it if I so choose. I think I have tried to run this mod or multiples of this add to give different options, but it didn't seem to work out well. Of course that was on vB4 not sure with vB3.8. I can try, but the question would be what other prefix would you be looking for?
