Lock topic with a keyword

[Black Antitoon]

Hello!

There was a lovely MOD for phpBB 2 which does not seem to exist for phpBB 3.

That is... if you are a moderator and type in your post the word "locked" (or any other keyword which you can set) the topic is automatically locked without the need of marking the checkbox. This is not really that useful, but locking a topic by just saying "locked" makes you feel great, trust me!

Anybody willing to write such a MOD? Pleeeease?

Open /posting.php and find:

Code: Select all

        if ($submit)
        {
            // Lock/Unlock Topic
            $change_topic_status = $post_data['topic_status'];
            $perm_lock_unlock = ($auth->acl_get('m_lock', $forum_id) || ($auth->acl_get('f_user_lock', $forum_id) && $user->data['is_registered'] && !empty($post_data['topic_poster']) && $user->data['user_id'] == $post_data['topic_poster'] && $post_data['topic_status'] == ITEM_UNLOCKED)) ? true : false; 

After, add:

Code: Select all

            /*** 2011-07-18 BEGIN AmigoJack
                Lock a topic by submitting a keyword in a post while being able to lock topics ***/
            define( 'MOD_LOCK_WORD', 'locked' );  // The word to be used in the post text
            if( $perm_lock_unlock ) {  // Does it make sense AND are we able to lock the topic?
                if( preg_match( '#\\b'. MOD_LOCK_WORD. '\\b#i', $message_parser-> message ) ) $topic_lock= TRUE;
            }
            /*** 2011-07-18 END ***/ 

As the comments indicate: change locked to the keyword you want to use. Uses word boundaries, so you won't lock a topic with words like blocked or lockedit. Works case insensitive. Tested.

Interesting but is it permission related or will it lock a topic if any member's say the magic word ?

some times ago i've build something similar and (of course) the rights
$auth->acl_get('m_lock', $forum_id) or $auth->acl_get('f_user_lock', $forum_id)
are included in this part of posting.php: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... #p13024782
