Closed Thread Reason

[RateU]

Requirement: The latest XThreads Version (at least v1.32).

Now, XThreads has a fantastic conditional feature. Amazing. Really really amazing!

This is a simple example application that use that feature.

Adding a reason for closed thread.

Create a custom thread fields with this settings:
• Title: Closed Thread Reason
• Key: ctr
• Applicable Forums : Select forum that we want to appliy it
• Input Field Type : Textbox
• Editable by / Required Field?: Administrators
  Modify it as our needs. Basically, we should give this power to usergroups which has an ability to closed a thread.
  We can choose Custom (specify usergroups) from the list, then select those usergroup in the Editable by Usergroups list.
• Blank Replacement Value :
  
  HTML Code

  <if $thread['closed'] == 1 then> <div class="smalltext"><strong>Closed Thread Reason:</strong></div> <div class="smalltext" style="color: red;"><em>Not specified</em></div> </if>

  ---

  Modify it as our needs. This layout will be displayed if the thread closed without any reason (the Closed Thread Reason textbox not filled).

• Display Format  :
  
  HTML Code

  <if $thread['closed'] == 1 then> <div class="smalltext"><strong>Closed Thread Reason:</strong></div> <div class="smalltext" style="color: red;"><em>{VALUE}</em></div> </if>

  ---

Now, we need to put {$GLOBALS['threadfields']['ctr']} variable in our forumdisplay_thread template or template_prefix_forumdisplay_thread template if we use template prefix for the forum.

Find this code:

HTML Code

<div class="author smalltext">{$thread['profilelink']}</div>

---

Add this variable before the code above:

Code:

{$GLOBALS['threadfields']['ctr']}

---

So, the code will be like this:

HTML Code

{$GLOBALS['threadfields']['tcr']}<div class="author smalltext">{$thread['profilelink']}</div>

---

Do that with search_results_threads_thread template too if we want the reason displayed in search result.
