Wolfie Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The name of the hook sounds like you are re-inventing the concept of setting a closing time for a topic. Might help if you name it something like, "Topics Closing Soon", sort of like on eBay how they have auctions ending soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwellshouse Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 can members select their own end time ? or does a moderator have to add that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 can members select their own end time ? or does a moderator have to add that ? The ability to set open/close times is part of the core product and is enabled per group. So if you're on a community that doesn't give you the option to set open/close times, then that's because the admin set it that way. LAC's hook just shows a list of topics that will be closing soon, it doesn't add the ability to close the topics, since that's already available. It's a smart idea, because on communities that use the closing time feature, it can encourage activity in those topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriano Faria Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 This is a moderating feature, right? Only forum moderators, moderators and admins can set topic open/close time... As far as I remember, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I remember, of course. I could have sworn that was something that could be set within a member group. But looking at it again, I think I misread something. If it's not already included, maybe LAC could include an option to let members of certain groups have access to it in certain forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is already in the settings for all the member groups but doesn't seem to work unless that member group has moderator rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It is already in the settings for all the member groups but doesn't seem to work unless that member group has moderator rights I may have misunderstood the options I saw. Read the previous posts. From the sounds of it though, LAC might add it as a feature in a future update of the hook. So you're in good hands for it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motomac Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Suggestion: make the same plugin, which allows moderator set deletion time. Delayed topic deletion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
