After installing this extension it will need configuring.

• In ACP -> Extensions -> Schedule topic lock -> Schedule topic lock select the options for displaying the "expired" notice and whether all forums can be scheduled.
• If you only want the feature available for specified forums the set the "Schedule topic lock" option for that forum.
• Set the "Can schedule topic lock" permission for the groups and/or users that you want to be able to use this feature.

Updated to RC2 (only bug fixes)

[HiFiKabin]

Another bug for you David Using RC2

If forum A as a sub forum B then you can not Schedule topic lock on forum A but you can on B which then allows it on forum A

Disallowing permissions on forum B then also removes it from forum A

I have run it through the settings on both my local test and online test boards and always get the same result

[david63]

If forum A as a sub forum B then you can not Schedule topic lock on forum A but you can on B which then allows it on forum A

Is that with "All forums" set or individual forums?

[HiFiKabin]

All Forums selected in the configuration page, also

If there are 2 sub forums, one on one off you can not have the parent forum on

If both sub forums are on the parent can be either state.

[david63]

I cannot recreate that issue with any combination of options - although I did spot another, totally unrelated, bug when creating a forum

[HiFiKabin]

I'll start over and report back

Not sure if this is related, however, in a thread scheduled to close this evening, the first post of each new page is missing until a new page is created.

Fresh install of 3.3.0 with QI on WAPMserver Installed RC2, added sub forum to "Your first forum", gave admin permissions, 'all forums' set to NO

Behaviours is exactly as before. the parent forum can not have a scheduled end unless the child does.

'all forums' set to yes, I can schedule an end point. (but the switch in acp>forums>manage forums >edit forum is shown as off)

EDIT:- On my Linux server its all working correctly now, but it wasn't before. All I did was disable, delete data and re enable and set permissions.

One of those things?

EDIT2:- the switch in acp>forums>manage forums >edit forum is shown as off, even though I can still add an end point to a topic.

I think that there was a bug (now fixed).

Can you try RC3 please
