Automatic Thread bumping

[terraniux]

Hello!


Is there a mod / option / plugin or perhaps a setting that automaticly bumps old topics? For example 2 weeks or something.

We can certainly use such thing. The purpose is that we know wether the projects in threads are finished or not. So it gets a bump with a reply.


Any ideas?

terraniux, guess I'm not fully understanding the purpose. Why not just use labels? You can define them how you like, such as "In Progress", "Waiting", "Completed" or whatever and you can even filter threads by the labels.

Yes I am aware of that option. Already in consideration. Thanks.

But beside that, is there such plugin / option that whenever a thread isn't active i.e. 6 weeks (this should be configurable) since last reply some sort of bot says something, or just bumps it, or locks it perhaps depending on the situation?


Example:

First post : yaayayayayaya happy new year blablabla -     01-01-2018 (DD-MM-YY)
Last reply: blablablaa                                                   07-01-2018

[Bot] bumps thread:                                                    31-01-2018 (End of month)
[Bot] bumps thread 2nd time                                         31-03-2018 (After three monts)

[Bot] Locks thread                                                       31-12-2018 (After a year)



But this cycle resets after a reply has been made in the meantime.
Hope this brings a little light.

Thanks in advance

Anyone? Or something similar is good too! Anthing regarding such as this will do fine.

Maybe any coders up to this?

It's not possible for the forum to automatically create a post based on a time limit.

Having the forum perform an automated task without user interaction would require customizations on the server side. All plugins operate on client-side languages, making this impossible to achieve with a code or plugin.

Ok, thank you for the answer!

Could you point out where or what? Is this something in PHP or Javascript or done via some sort of script?

I'm clueless. If it is not possible , then it's not. But I wanna try as close as possible.

As I mentioned it wouldn't be possible with a code modification. This would have to be a built-in feature.

We don't currently support PHP or any other server-side languages on the user end.
