I need a script that this do an "auto-close" on a thread, with a user (for example, with a user called "admin").

When thread catches up 40 pages, my user-bot (in this case, "admin") close this.. in automatic.

It's possible? :squareeye

Thanks for replyes!


:paranoid:

There's a hack by LiveWire which automaticly closes a thread after a set amount of time, but afaik there's no hack which does this based on the replycount.

Yes, I know that hack... but I need a close based on replycount...
One forum: http://forum.gamesradar.it have this script! I try to ask it at the Administratr but he said that this script is private. :tired:

Can you help me, in some mode?

i could make a cron job. that would be pretty easy.

Ok, but how can I do this? I'm a newbye. :p


:paranoid:

i posted a tutorial in the how to section. Just a sec i'll make you one.

just one question, how many posts do you want for 40 pages would that be 1000 posts?

Take a look at the construct_pagenav function, that should have the info.

Its somewhere in the function files, don't ask me in which one though as I wouldn't know :p

You can set it per user though it's in the user cp, Ah well i guessed:

Upload the attached file to forum root/includes/cron/

Go into Admin CP > Scheduled Tasks > Add New Scheduled Task >
