Unanswered Topics

[aegersz]

thanks, dougiefresh - that fix works faultlessly !

[Steve]

I like this mod but what I'd really like to see is the ability to choose topics and delete them en masse.

I know you've been busy dougie (judging from your recent posts) but have you had a chance to look at this? No hurry, am just curious.

No, I haven't.  I'm going to try to look at it soon....

[dougiefresh]

Sorry to get back to this topic so late, but I am now working on it.....

Uploaded v2.0 - January 5th, 2017
o 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.

I like this mod but what I'd really like to see is the ability to choose topics and delete them en masse.

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'

Uploaded v2.0.1 - January 6th, 2016
o Fixed database query involving invalid field for this mod.

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....

[Steve]

No worries Dougie! Works a treat now.

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!

[dougiefresh]

I'll look into this when I get home....  Sounds like I overlooked some minor detail....

[dougiefresh]

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!

[Steve]

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 ...

[dougiefresh]

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....

[Steve]

No worries.

[dougiefresh]

Uploaded v2.2 - July 5th, 2017
o SMF 2.1: Replaced missing settings_install.php with add_remove_hooks.php in package-info.xml.

[dougiefresh]

Uploaded v2.3 - July 11th, 2017
o Replaced IFNULL with COALESCE in database queries for better Postgres support.

[dougiefresh]

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....

[dougiefresh]

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....

[Steve]

The version number says 2.3 in the package manager when installed.

And where are the permissions located?

[dougiefresh]

The version number says 2.3 in the package manager when installed.

Oops!  I've reuploaded the fixed package with the correct version number!  Thanks!

And where are the permissions located?

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

Thank ya sir.

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.
