Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Expired Threads (Auto Close Threads)

Expired Threads v1.0

Click Install For Support

ATTACHMENT REMOVED

See This Post

What this does
This will allow you as the admin to set a time limit till a thread is considered expired or in otherwords Auto Close. If the thread happens to be expired, the user will see a error message. But a staff member (ie, mod, sup-mod, and admin) can unexpire the thread by posting in it, then the counter will start over again. This will prevent those anoyying thread digger members we all seem to dislike.

Installation
I created a very powerful install script to handle everything! So all you have to do is upload the install script and run it! Please read the readme file before you do anything. There are some notes in there so you can understand a new feature i added that is not in the vB3.0.7 version of mine.

Existing Users
If your using this hack for vB 3.0.x. No worries, my installer will detect it and upgrade it properly.

Support
My hacks are free, and all my hacks will have a simlar installer for easy installation/uninstallation/upgrader. Other then the small 2 line file edit in the admincp/forum.php. This hack installs itself and you do nothing but click next. I put alot of time into this hack and will so with the rest of mine. That being said, please click the install button if you want support!

Sorry, I am using RC1.....does it be a matter?

I installed this hack. but just want to know where can I manage the expire thread

I was given:
Expired Threads Active
Would you like to enable this feature "yes no"
Physicaly Close Threads
Would you like to physically close expired threads "yes no"
Open For Moderators
Can moderators reply to a expired thread "yes no"

But where about to edit the expire date?

I don't think that it's a matter of RC1 or RC2

[chi92384]

I did enable the hack, but I only see these options in "vBulletin Options"

Expired Threads Active

Physicaly Close Threads

Open For Moderators

But I don't know where if I edit the date?

and for some reasons all the threads are closed after I enable this hack? =.=

Its in the forum manager, the same area where you would create a title for a forum.

This is a very nice mod, but how about something to make it only close threads in 'x' forum?
