XF2 Addons [FateKid] Solution Control v1.0.1

Intuitive automation options for solution-based forum nodes

---

Developed by FateKid at NullForums, SolutionControl™ is a smart automation add-on for XenForo that enhances the functionality of question-based forums by automatically managing thread prefixes and locking behavior when a solution is marked. Streamline your forum moderation, highlight answered threads, and keep your discussions tidy with minimal effort.

Features​

• Auto-Prefixing: Automatically applies a specified prefix to threads when a post is marked as a solution
• Thread Locking: Optionally locks threads once a solution is selected—and unlocks them if the solution is removed
• Daily Cron Sync: Retroactively locks older threads that have a solution marked but weren’t previously locked
• Node-Based Configuration: Enable and customize behavior per forum node for maximum flexibility
• Works with Question Threads: Seamlessly integrates with XenForo’s native question forum node type

Why Use This Add-on?​

• Improve Forum Clarity: Easily distinguish solved threads with visual prefixes
• Reduce Moderator Workload: Automate repetitive tasks like locking and prefixing threads
• Promote Organization: Keeps your Q&A forums clean and easy to navigate
• Configurable Control: Tailor behavior based on individual forum needs
• Retroactive Compatibility: Daily cron job ensures older threads are brought up to standard

Installation & Setup​

1. Upload the contents of the /upload directory to your XenForo root directory
2. Go to Admin CP > Add-ons, then install SolutionControl

Configuration​

1. Navigate to Admin CP > Forums
2. Edit any forum using the 'Question' thread type
3. You’ll find two new options under the forum’s settings:
   • Select a prefix to be auto-applied when a solution is marked
   • Enable or disable auto-locking of threads when a solution is marked (and auto-unlock when removed)
4. Save your settings—done!

Retroactive Thread Locking​

SolutionControl includes a daily cron job that scans all forums with auto-locking enabled and:

• Finds threads that are marked as solved
• Checks if they're not currently locked
• Locks them automatically

This ensures older threads also benefit from automated control—even if they were solved before the add-on was installed.
