Mike Gholson Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 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.

Kevin Carwile Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
