Deny Reply For Staff Members in Closed Threads

[Admin]

Description:
This hack adds prevents Staff Members from posting in closed threads. When a thread is closed, administrators and moderators are still able to post in it. This basically prevents that. There is also an option to exclude selective users from this. I made this modification for a client and decided to put it up here for others to use if they need to.


Installation Instructions:
To install simply import the attached product-denied_reply.xml file. Then you're done.


Altering the Error Message:
It is possible to change the error message that is displayed to users when they are denied from replying in a closed thread. This can be done by going to Phrase Manager in the Admin CP and searching for the denied_reply_error phrase. Then add a translation for the language your forum is in and alter the message as required.


Changelog:
05/06/2012 - Version 1.00:
- Initial release.


Notes:
I'm always looking to improve my work for the people that enjoy using it. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve this hack then please leave a comment and I'll see what I'm able to do. Don't forget to 'Mark As Installed' if you've got it installed!
