So I just saw this neat trick https://help.forumotion.com/t137157-warning-for-locked-topics

And I thought if it was somehow possible for a little message like that ABOVE the quick reply box and on top reminding that this topic is 1 month or older?
I mean many forums have a rule like this and many newbies often tend to ignore that. so its a great way to stop that from happening..

So can anyone create a script like that?

Much thanks for all replies

Well? Anyone? At least reply whether its possible or not?

If you're a moderator or s.mod, you can lock/unlock any thread - any time, but script can't. My opinion is hard to do, man! In case someone can do, I believe your forum will be crash

But that's not what he wishes!

Who told you that with script can not?

sarkzkalie01 wrote: My opinion is hard to do, man!

The impossible is just a matter of opinion, you have never heard this?

How do you believe that if even tried to solve it?

@Rhino.Freak

Hello!

I quite liked this your idea and I have to do it since it is very interesting !!!
I will mark the topic then I'll make a sketch of! Keep this topic active.

---

Edit:
Let's clarify a few things:
Do you wish that "if a topic has 30 or more days (or months)" that only appear this message or is not allowed to post? Or both together?

JS

Thanks! Glad you like the idea!
What I mean is when the topic is left untouched (no new posts/replies) for 30 days, we get that information box on top of topic. It doesn't get locked automatically, so user CAN post if its something urgent or he is updating his own thread
Appreciate that you're working on it

bumping this

Be calm, the code is being developed ok?

JS

Hello, I had to leave my test forum with the same configuration of your so I can perform the tests!

When I finish I will post the code ok?

JS

sures I'm waiting

just reminding.. and pushing this topic towards top.

Hello!

I'm having problems with the pagination, I think I can only do up to 4 pages indexed, no more than that because of the Request Limit!

JS

I don't get what the use of Pagination got to do with what I want.. Can you explain further?

bump? @Jscript

my guess is hes grabbing pages to find out the time of the last post ... so if you have a post with 10 pages it will only grab the time of the last post on page 4 but with js theirs no telling

well so I guess it won't be possible?

ok here is my attempt .. hope it works but i might need admin account to fix it if it dont


javascript 1

placement = sub forums

Code:

// sub forums
$(function(){

    var usrDate = $(this).parent().first().contents().eq(1).text();

@Rhino.Freak
Hello, I will test a code and you return as soon as possible, the biggest problem now is to work on all versions!
I do not like to make a code for a single version...

@_Twisted_Mods_
I have not tested your code, but I think that works, let's wait for him to answer.

JS

I will reply here soon to inform thanks guys
