Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 16, 20159 yr My idea is to add a feature to IPB that will allow an automatic topic expiration. This would be something configurable in the new forum settings. Ideally, I could create a new forum, and a field for "max topic age". When the topic age expired, typically by a cron job, it would be marked as hidden or expired. The user would be sent an email and they would have the option to renew the topic up to to X (configurable) amount of times. This feature would give some of us the capability to create posts that expire automatically and we can keep the forum clear of aging topics.
December 17, 20159 yr Here is a quick recipe you could use that I cooked up with rules: Quote Rule: Trigger scheduling custom action Event: Topic has been created or updated Conditions: Truth Value (When topic is new only) Actions: Schedule automatic closing of a topic (Trigger the scheduling action) Rule: Schedule topic expiration based on forum setting Event: Action triggered: Schedule automatic closing of a topic Conditions: Number Value (Topic expiration setting is more than zero) Actions: Lock content (Lock the topic) [Scheduled] auto-expire-topics.xml
