12/11/04 Download Update: Made changes in all files to work with Access db (still needs testing). 12/19/04 Download Update: Post counts repaired in pop_flag.asp. Replace pop_flag with the updated version. 12/22/04 Download Update: Made changes in pop_flag.asp and added admin_forums.asp to the modified files. Readme updated. 01/13/05 Download Update: Did some tweaking in pop_flag.asp and Added a new html readme. 02/02/05 Download Update: 3.4.02 beta - Replace pop_flag.asp with new version. Unarchived topic and replies get new IDs instead of using old ones so there's no possibility (that I know of )of duplicate IDs. 03/09/05 Download Update: Added Topic Archiving. Readme updated with changes made in "forum.asp" and "topic.asp" that add an icon for archiving. I completely redid pop_flag.asp, so it will need replaced. Again this only works in mySql. I added some code for msSql but I am unable to test it.
Download:Right click and save Mod allows admins and moderators to flag topics from being archived. i.e. When a forum is archived, flagged topic will remain active. Also allows you to archive/unarchive individual topics. If you have added fields to the (TOPICS and A_TOPICS) or (REPLY and A_REPLY) database tables, you will need to add them to the forum Sqls' in the "archive/unarchive" portion of "pop_flag.asp".
This mod is beta and needs testing. If you do test and find a bug or a bug fix, let me know here so I can update the download.
I had to redo the mod code in forum.asp and topic.asp. Also made a slight change in pop_flag.asp.
Jorrit787, I'd like to work on it till it's bug free , but I need feedback from from the folks that try it out. As you can see it's been up for two months and I just found out it didn't work with Acccess .
Sorry about that Ken. It worked for me yesterday but not today . That's the same error I'm getting.
My Access site went down and I can't test at this time. I think if you replace this line in pop_flag.asp it might fix that error. But there may be others. It's just a little before line 173.
Hi. I have changed my pop_flag.asp. All working fine. But.. I have try to unarchive a topic with a moderator user. He can't unarchive topic. No message error here, but the password is not recognized. I'm sure that the password is ok. The moderator user can't unarchive.
Other problem: When I unarchive a topic all work fine. But if I try to archive again the forum with this topic, I receive this error message:
if (chkForumModerator(Forum_ID, strDBNTFUserName) = "1") or mLev > 0 then '## is Member
if (mLev = 4) then
Replace it with this
if mLev > 0 then '## is Member
if (mLev = 4) or (chkForumModerator(Forum_ID, strDBNTFUserName) = "1") then
Will allow moderators to unarchive topics in thier forums.
I have one forum where everything works fine I unarchive and then return a topic to the archives. In another forum I am recieving an error messege, but it's different from yours. It's not deleting the replies from the reply table. Therefore I have the same replies in the reply table and the a_reply table. I think it has something to do with NULL values in the "last_edit_by" and "last_edit" fields. I'll have to work on this.
Fixed an archiving/unarchiving bug. This bug may cause duplicate posts in the REPLY and A_REPLY table which will give an error msg when you try to archive the duplicate reply. You will need to delete the duplicate replies in the REPLY table if you recieve this message.
Anyone testing this mod needs to replace pop.asp with updated version and I have made some code changes in admin_forums.asp (previously unmodified). Readme also updated.
Anyone done this on 3.4.03 ? I see a couple issues...
This mod is still beta and needs more testing. Don't use it on a live forum. I think it's safe to say that the flag/unflag portion is ok and should work on all versions of Snitz 3.4. The unarchive portion seems to be working fine after the last bug fix, but more bugs may pop up with more testing.
Thanks... in the readme, the changes specified for default.asp puzzle me. I don't find that code in 3.4.03. Is that sub AdminOptions() specific to 3.4.05?
