UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? AutoLock thread

Hello to all

I have a forum in which we post only one post per thread. It is used for sell/buy/trade stuff.
Then the first admin that see's a new thread has to go to the forum and close the thread.

Here is my idea: I would like to make this locking automatic. So, when user sets the post to databse (addpost.php) I would somehow check which forum is this and if this is the forum we are doing autoLock (best option would be $config['autolock']) we send a doclosethreads.php.

A problem
doclosethreads.php can be done only by the moderator of the forum or by admin. We have a "fake" moderator that coulg be used to authenticate but dunno how.
[] if ( ($user['U_Status'] != 'Moderator') && ($user['U_Status'] != 'Administrator')){ [/]
This if statement should somehow includ another || condition something like || $config['autolock']==$Number
[] if ( (($user['U_Status'] != 'Moderator') && ($user['U_Status'] != 'Administrator')) || $config['autolock']==$Number ){ [/]
Is there another, better way to do this?

Here is something that may be an easier alternative, allowing people to post but not reply https://www.ubbdev.com/forum/showflat...5/o/all/fpart/1

Hi,

Yep, that was on my board and it works fine. Make sure you also do the changes for the Quick Reply if you have this installed though. Had us confused for a while.

Sanuk!

Yes, that would work just as well, another way - would be to change the status on posting in a particular forum.

in addpost.php

Find this:

$AnonName_q = addslashes($AnonName);



Above it add:


Where I have keyword above, put the keyword of that forum. This will set the post initially to "closed" status.

Yesturday I hardly resisted my impulse to start coding my idea
