UNANSWERED TOPICS v2.8
By Dougiefresh (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=253913) -> Link to Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=4088)
IntroductionThis mod shows all of the topics, excluding locked topics and recycle board topics, that have not been answered (aka topics that consist of a single post). Locked topics and topics in the recycle boards are not included in the list because it makes no sense to include topics that can't be replied to....
Version 2.5 adds the ability to restrict by board(s) by using
board=- [/b], where
- [/b] is the board ID or IDs seperated by commas.
Admin Settings
There are two new settings under Admin -> Configuration -> Modification Settings:
o Default view for unanswered topics (set to posts view by default)
o Number of days to show unanswered topics (set to 90 days by default)
There is also a new permission under Admin -> Members -> Permissions:
o Can view unanswered topics (not permissable for guests)
Compatibility Notes
This mod was tested on SMF 2.0.13 and SMF 2.1 Beta 2 through 2.1 RC2, but should work on SMF 2.0 and up. SMF 1.x is not and will not be supported.

Uploaded v1.5 - Match 30th, 2016
o Added Spanish-Latin translation by Rock Lee [BC] (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=322597).
@Rock Lee [BC]: Thank you for the translation! It's been included in version 1.5!
Uploaded v1.6 - September 30th, 2016
o Fixed German language file so that it installs properly without errors.
The first page shows an index of Topics then the remaining pages changes to show the entire list of Posts.
This is not right - it should be an index of Topics like you see when looking at a board in the forum otherwise you have to wade through all the Posts.
I found the bug:
you have to modify the URL if you want to "view as topics", then pages 2 onwards show as posts: ...index.php?action=unanswered;start=nn instead of ...index.php?action=unanswered;topics;start=nn.
Uploaded v1.7 - October 1st, 2016
o Fixed a bug where posts where displayed instead of topics on page 2 and up... Thanks, aegersz (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=413177)!
@aegersz: Thank you for the bug report and finding the cause of the bug! This version should fix that particular bug!
I like this mod but what I'd really like to see is the ability to choose topics and delete them en masse.

No, I haven't. I'm going to try to look at it soon....
Sorry to get back to this topic so late, but I am now working on it.....
Uploaded v2.0 - January 5th, 2017o Converted mod to 100% hook-based, removing all file edits!
o Completely rewrote unanswered topics function to use built-in list functionality.
o Moved all language strings to individual language files.
o Added code to exclude contents of the recycle board from the list.
o Added checkboxes to remove topics, when appropriate permissions are granted to user.
o Added code to restrict unanswered topics to selected member, if desirable.

This version will fulfill this feature request; hopefuly it will address any other bug reports from the version 1.x-series mods.....
Got this error soon as I clicked on the index page link:
Unknown column 't.important' in 'field list'

Sorry about that!! This mod is based off another mod that I wrote, and evidentally, I didn't fix one line....
No worries Dougie! Works a treat now. :D
The only suggestion I could make for some future version is when you put 0 into the number of days settings it seems odd for the link to say 'Show unanswered topics in the last 0 days.'. If it's actually disabled as the setting says it is, then maybe not have the link show? Or if 0 means there's no limit to the number of days, then have it say 'Show all unanswered topics.'?
If 0 means no limit, the current version returns no results instead of showing all results.
The checkboxes I requested work beautifully! Can't thank you enough! :D
I'll look into this when I get home.... Sounds like I overlooked some minor detail....
Uploaded v2.1 - January 7th, 2017
o Fixed text display issue when number of days is equal to 0 in several places.
o Removed unused topic/post option leftover from version 1.x series.
o Changed several language strings to reflect better what the mod does when days equal 0.
@Steve: This update should fix the issue you brought to my attention. Thank you for the bug report!
Perfect! Great work as always Dougie. Probably something I did wrong but when I went to upload v2.1 it said it was already on the server even though the version on the server was 2.0.1 ...
No, the package-info.xml for version 2.0.1 had 2.1 for the version number. Didn't realize it until I went to edit the mod yesterday. Sorry about the confusion there....
No worries. :)
Uploaded v2.2 - July 5th, 2017
o SMF 2.1: Replaced missing settings_install.php with add_remove_hooks.php in package-info.xml.
Uploaded v2.3 - July 11th, 2017
o Replaced IFNULL with COALESCE in database queries for better Postgres support.
Quote from: thunderchld on July 23, 2017, 08:43:14 PM
Thank you guys! This is great.
Feature request: Permissions.
It would be nice if we could install this and only let certain groups see which are unanswered so they could respond.
E.g. We have 4 groups, Staff, Plot, Member1 Member 2. Only "Staff" being able to see what is unanswered would allow them to answer questions from the other 3 groups.
(if that makes any sense)
That would allow us to provide answers yet not draw attention to unanswered issues.
Working on this request....
Uploaded v2.4 - July 28th, 2017
o Added permission to view unanswered topics.
@thunderchld: This update should fill this request. Please note that guests still cannot view the unanswered topics page. This is enforced through the permission system, as opposed to a simple user member ID check in previous versions.... If you need this functionality, comment out line 26 in Subs-Unanswered.php....
The version number says 2.3 in the package manager when installed.
And where are the permissions located?

Quote from: Steve on July 28, 2017, 04:33:53 PM

On the permissions screen, the new membergroup permission should be listed under the "General" category as
Can view unanswered topics.

Once I switched from 'Simple' to 'Classic' view (which I've never used), I found it right away. Thanks again Dougie. :)
Is it possible to specific which board?
I.e. board=3,4,5 in the URL?
Uploaded v2.5 - August 6th, 2017
o Added ability to narrow topic list by board ID.
@Stylus: Version 2.5 adds that ability to the mod. Versions prior to version 2.5 simply cannot. Note that this new code SHOULDN'T allow you to view boards that you don't have permission to view....

Hi Dougiefresh,
Thanks for the mod. I installed the package (v2.5) but did not have the "Default view for unanswered topics (set to posts view by default)" option displayed. What may be the cause?
Thanks

KKOG forum Admin
Did you give an error when installing it? Do you use a custom theme?
Regards!
Hi Rock Lee,
There were no errors when installing.
We are using a custom theme which is an adaptation of the Thanksgiving Theme downloaded from SMF site.
There was no option relating to the themes being used.
Thanks
KKOG Forum Admin
@kkog: I apologize about the delay in responding, as I had to deal with a lot of computer problems in the past few days. Can you attach your index.template.php from your custom theme? I need to further customize the regex doing the replacement and need to know what I'm looking for (as well as having something to test against!)....
Hi dougiefresh,
The mod is currently working but without the option available.
Attached is the index.template.php from the theme we are using.
Thanks
KKOG Forum Admin
Huh, the expected lines are present, so I guess I'm going to have to look to see if there is another place to insert the new link....
Thanks
KKOG Forum Admin
@kkog: Sorry about the wait! Been chasing other bug reports around the barn a few times..... O:)
I guess I really need to READ your bug report because I thought you couldn't find the link to the unanswered topics. Nope, that's not it at all.... The updated code never made it into the mod. Luckily, I found the source part of the new mod, but not the templates.... So I guess I'm going to have to build the templates from scratch....
Thanks for following up
KKOG Forum Admin
Little by little I will update what I need ... anything you tell me :P.
Regards!
Uploaded v2.6 - November 9th, 2018
o No functionality change.

Uploaded v2.7 - November 9th, 2018

@Rock Lee: I honestly don't know how I managed to miss the language update! Thank you for updating your translation! It's been included in this version!
Do not worry sometimes it happens @dougiefresh that's why he revised the mods from time to time in case they have commented lines to update!
Regards!
Sorry, but this modification does not appear to be compatible with the selected version.
This mod is in downloads for SMF 2.1 RC2, it will not install in 2.1RC2, in the parse you get a warning:
Sorry, but this modification does not appear to be compatible with the selected version.
Um, I just tried it on my localhost forum with a fresh copy of SMF 2.1 RC2 and it appears to be able to install correctly without errors. Definitely nothing showing that it is incompatible with it. Do you have emulation set in the package manager? Cause if not, this is really weird...
the package's info file shows it can install on 2.0 and 2.1 Beta 2, you might've just unintentionally wrote Beta instead of RC

I have a test board I tried it on and the results were a error.. See the images. I try installing on my regular forum which was a upgrade for 2.0.15 ro 2.1 RC2
The test board is a fresh install of 2.1 RC2
Uploaded v2.8 - June 19th, 2019
o Updated package.xml to allow install on SMF 2.1 RC2.
@OldCrow: Hopefully, this update solves your issue with this addon. It seems unnecessary to me, since version 2.7 installed on my localhost copy of SMF 2.1 RC2 without any issues.... But whatever. Enjoy!

Can anyone tell me how the url should be constructed in this case? (I want to exclude certain boards as well).
I figured out that the start of the url would be (for instance) https://xxxx-xxxx.com/index.php?action=unanswered
But how do I include the boards after that I want to show?
And I included the Dutch translation.
