Topic: How do I unlock a topic?

I'm surprised I don't see a way to unlock a topic I locked. (On my forum)

Is there a way to add this in or a way to unlock the topic that I am missing somewhere?

Edit: I found a way to unlock it by Moderating a forum. But I assume there's no way to simply unlock the topic from within the topic itself?

Re: How do I unlock a topic?

Delete multiple posts
Move topic
Open topic
Stick topic

Same place as you locked it at. smile

It doesn't show like that for me. It stays as "Close". That's the first place I checked.

Strange. Have you modded viewtopic.php at all?

I have. But not that I can think would change that. Isn't that part in the footer anyway?

Re: How do I unlock a topic?

Well, actually the only thing I can think of is the "Active Topics" mod I installed in the ViewTopic page. It comes after the Quick Reply and before the footer. I bet that's the problem. I'll have to figure out how to pass the state around the ViewTopics file.

Edit: Yep. That's it. Okay.. so what variable needs to be passed to the footer to make it work again?

I'm assuming the Active Topics file I used has a conflicting "Locked/Open" variable with the same name. So when it loads a list of active topics it's using the "Locked/Open" state of the last topic in the list. So my question is what variable does the footer use to display whether it's opened or closed? Guess I'll go look.

Re: How do I unlock a topic?

Okay. I think I have fixed it. Seems both the Footer.php file and the Active Topics MOD I used both had the same "cur_topic" variable. I just changed the "cur_topic" in the Active MOD to "cur_topic_act" and all is well.

Problem solved!
