Hi Team

I would like to disable the option of members to LOCK their topics. What would be the best way to do that? MiniBB 1.7. Thanks.

index.php

search for that:

elseif($action=='locktopic') require('./bb_func_locktop.php');

replace to:

elseif($action=='locktopic' and ($user_id==1 or $isMod==1)) require('./bb_func_locktop.php');

User will still see the "lock topic" under the thread, so you need also to remove condition in bb_func_vthread.php

Is this also valid for 2.0?

It will not be bad if such option appears as normal in miniBB 2.0.

This is also valid for 2.0.

We'll think about an option.

I've taken care of index.php and topic is no longer lockable by user. I presume this is the relevant part of bb_func_vthread.php but I'm not sure which part to delete.

Yes, this is part you need to edit.

elseif (($user_id == $topicPoster and $user_id != 0 and $user_id != 1) and $topicStatus != 9 and $topicStatus != 8) { if ($topicStatus == 0) $closeTopic = "$l_closeTopic"; elseif ($topicStatus == 1 and $userUnlock == 1) $closeTopic = "$l_unlockTopic"; else $closeTopic = ''; }

replace to:

elseif (($user_id == 1 or $isMod==1) and $topicStatus != 9 and $topicStatus != 8) { if ($topicStatus == 0) $closeTopic = "$l_closeTopic"; elseif ($topicStatus == 1) $closeTopic = "$l_unlockTopic"; else $closeTopic = ''; }

(I've not tested it but I hope you get the idea).

Seems to work OK. thanks very much.

I can't find this to-be-replaced text in index.php nor bb_func_locktop.php

What do I have to do in 2.0?

From the manual

In setup_options.php

$userUnlock=0; If it is set to 0, registered user can not unlock his topic again after it was locked (by admin or himself), and vice versa. If set to 2, users are not able to lock their topics in general (avail. from ver. 2.0 RC3).
