Automatically Lock Old Threads. (Features)

"automatically lock old threads" (with a user settable # of days) option.


Good idea, I'll think about it.

Some thoughts about the case:

Best would be a little script, that is executed by a cronjob. Probelm: some/most(?) operators of the forum has no access to cronjobs. Alternatively you could have a menu point to lock 'all threads older than ...' manually. This is simplier than to choose every thread that should be locked manually and to lock them in a second step. Let's say it is 'half automatic' but it is only one step. Second advantage is to have the code to lock the threads in a separate file. Then you could call the script from a link/button in the admin area manually or you can execute the script from a cronjob.

Tschö, Auge
