My time is very limited these days, with my full time job. I have marked this mod as re-usable code, if any other coder wishes to continue work on it. I may still try to support this mod as time permits.

What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Solved". It will add the prefix "[SOLVED]" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.

Current Version
1.1.2 - You can find the 3.6.x version, here.

Features flagged for future version(s):
  • Thread starter can choose to solve a thread, and input the username of who solved it - that user would recieve rep. points. (admin-configurable amount of rep. points)
  • Given the above - include count of threads a user has solved in postbit & profile
  • Possibly figure out a way to automate everything on install - so there are no template edits.
And anything else that is suggested

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.7 - 3.8 versions. This will not work on 4.0. If you are looking for a vB4 version, you can find it here.

Sounds cool. How do I install?
  1. Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files:

    Code:
    /
|_ install.html
|_ product-solvedthread.xml
/upload/
|_ solved.php
	/upload/images/
		/buttons/
		|_ marksolved.gif
	/upload/includes/
		/xml/
		|_ bitfield_solvedthread.xml
  2. Upload: (in the below instructions 'yourforum' would be where you have vBulletin installed)
    • /upload/solved.php to /yourforum/solved.php
    • /upload/images/buttons/marksolved.gif to /yourforum/images/buttons/marksolved.gif (upload to each style folder, if you have more than one style)
    • /upload/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml to /yourforum/includes/xml/bitfield_solvedthread.xml
  3. Import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml by going to: AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
  4. Make the following template edits to all of your installed styles:

    SHOWTHREAD

    Can this be triggered on a Per forum basis ?
    Quote by KevinGupta
    Can we choose which specific forums we want it to work on?
    Quote by SecondV
    Instead of 'excluding' forums, since using the Thread Prefix system, you can choose which forums this will be shown in.
    After installing, go to: Thread Prefixes >> Thread Prefix Manager

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

    Then you'll see: Use Prefix Set in These Forums, select the forums you want this used in. (Hold the CTRL button to select more than one)

    Close
     post.

Upgrade
To 1.1.2 from 1.1.0/1.1.1
  1. Re-import the product, product-solvedthreads.xml, with "Allow Overwrite" set to yes
  2. Upload the files/folders in the "upload" folder, allowing it to overwrite the old files.

To 1.1.x from 1.0.0
  1. ATM, it is not advised to do an upgrade from previous versions to this one if you already have 1.0.0 installed. Fresh installs should be fine.


That's it! Enjoy!
