Michael.J Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Automatically lock topics by multiple filter types including last post date, number of posts, author etc... Optionally add a post reply to topics once locked. v1 Features Filter which forums topics will be locked in. Optionally skip pinned, featured, hidden or poll topics. Filter by last post date. Filter by post count, number of views or topic rating. Filter by topic author or topic tags. Add optional prefix to locked topics. Optional post reply for locked topics.
ChrisVanMeer Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Very nice. Would definately buy it if one could also filter by topic start date. For instance, I have a specific subforum where a topic is started every monday morning. And I would like to have those topics closed one week later (favorably on midnight monday morning).
Michael.J Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 If you don't need to filter by last post concurrently. I can give you an edit to temporarily assign the "last post" filter as a "start post date" filter. Otherwise, I've noted this and it will be included in the next update.

ChrisVanMeer Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 I do have full control of the files on my IPB install. However I haven't purchased your plugin yet.
Michael.J Posted July 16, 2018 Author Posted July 16, 2018 Just to clarify then. I can provide a temporary patch to use the existing "start date" setting in the interim. But I don't have an eta when the next version will be released.
Sergey_SV Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Hi. @Mike John I want to use this as alternative to archiving system (because i do no want to loose the search capability in archived topics). If I apply your plugin and it has to lock a lot of topics for the first time (>10000) could that be a problem? or the task will work in batches? Edited August 13, 2018 by Sergey_SV

It batches them into 25 topics at a time and the task runs every 30 mins assuming you've got board activity all the time or your running your tasks via cron. So it will take several days to work through 10,000 topics. If you need it, I can give instructions to temporarily increase that limit if your server can handle it.
P2E Gaming Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 A couple of questions. Is it possible to hide lock time? Is it possible to only allow a certain member to post/unlock after being locked?
Mason Hills Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I just bought this plugin but the auto lock function is not working!

P2E Gaming Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Hi, I've just installed this but I don't see the option to auto lock when creating a topic. Can you help please
P2E Gaming Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 On top of that the plug in has auto locked 100's of dead topics without me enabling any filters

Is it possible to only allow a certain member to post/unlock after being locked? From the post reply that's added? If so, remove the "%lock_time%" quick tag from the post template and it won't add a lock time. This plugin only uses the internal lock topic option, so any work around for posting in locked topics will need to be done within IPB4 itself. I believe there is a group permission to allow certain member groups to post in locked topics still.

If you check the plugin settings, you select the filters and which forums and it mass locks topics for you in the background using the filters you selected. P2E Gaming 1
Metmet Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Hi @Mike John Your plugin Auto Lock Topic is exactly for what I'm looking. But I would like to be able to lock a topic if no message was posted during X minutes instead of day. Can you make me a custom modifiation for add/edit this option if it is not too much complicated for you ? I would eternally be grateful to you for it ! Thank you advance

londonmitch Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Is there a way to retroactively lock all old posts over 14 days in a certain forum? Just downloaded and installed with settings to lock after 14 days of star but would be nice to lock all the old topics we have Justin Stellman 1
Justin Stellman Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) @Michael.J I have a couple questions before I buy. I looked at your first screenshot and it seems pretty complex. Here's what I want to do... On the 16th of each month we start a new 30 day cycle of questions people can ask us in a certain forum. I want to only allow 25 questions (or new topics) to be asked and/or lock the topic at 30 days, whichever comes first. When the topic is locked, I'd love to be able to edit or add some text telling our members what to do next. Would be even better if I could add a video too, but text would be good too. Can your plugin do this? UPDATE: I just purchased your plugin but not sure how I adjust the settings (the term filter is confusing to me) to only allow 25 topics per forum. Also how do I test it as an administrator. Edited October 11, 2020 by Justin Stellman

I apologies for the confusion if the screenshots seem to indicate that. I'm not sure there's even a plugin in the IPS Marketplace that does that.
