happy guy?
bump!

To make it compatible with "Thread Closed By ________ ":

Look for



in postings.cgi (it only appears once).

Replace it with



I tested it a bit, and it SHOULD work, but if it doesn't, please tell me!

Hope this was helpful!



EDIT: AS ALWAYS, WATCH OUT FOR THE DOUBLE PIPE RULE!!!

Alex:

Nope still says "Thread closed by " when you use the option to post a message. If you use the close thread link though it will say who closed it.

Odd, cause it DEFINITELY works for me...

Here's an example: A thread on my BB (you'll just have to take my word for it that it was closed with the checkbox!)

AJK - The Bar

Idea:

In postings.cgi, try replacing



with



as well as doing the above

Hope this helped!

Alex, your first solution works fine for me and it seems to make sense.

Thanks for the fix!

OK, I want to intall this but:
1: has the original post been updated to reflect all the changes that have been brought up, including the "thread closed by" problem?

Hey PC.

Not since I used this code, Chad, and that was hours ago. You can't account for every hack out there when you write hacks like this, but all you have to do is use the fix above I referenced in my previous post and you'll be all set!

Check it out - I'm using both on my board:

Shocky's Test Board http://www.donmar.ca/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

Hack instructions updated!

Hello,

Is there any way to make this so that the thread, after it is replied to and closed, not appear at the top of forumdisplay.cgi, but stay in the same position?

Like it does when you close a thread without a reply.

I am trying to use this hack with 5.45c (using mazmanr's update for 5.45).

After closing the thread and going back to the forum view, the thread that I've closed totally disappears off of the list.

Has anyone got this working on 5.45c, and if so, can you share please?

thanks,

janitz

Anyone?

I'm attempting it.

Any luck on that one?


thanks

In what file do i look for these strings?

------------------

Has anyone found this to be functional in 5.47e?

I know this is a dumb question, but what file do you need to edit?

didnt ya allready make this hack? I have it on thrillkillclan.com .

-Ghoste

I have the same question as covana

What is the first file you need to edit. It says if you have the other hack that tells who closed to modify posting.cgi, but does not tell you which file to edit without that hack installed.

It's been a long time since I installed this but if it isn't postings.cgi I guess ubb_library2.pl
