Version 1.1.1 released:

• Fixes a glitch: don't show the new open/close button to mods, who already have their own open/close interface.
  

thank you

Version 1.2.1 released:

• The addition of a setting for usergroups whose members are authorised to close/reopen threads they've authored in the stipulated forums. This feature was requested and sponsored by @spear.
  
• Improved error messaging when a non-author tries to post to an author-closed thread: the message now states that the author closed the thread; originally, the default message was used, which states erroneously that a moderator closed the thread.
  
• Two "Close thread" checkbox fixes:
  • The addition of the checkbox to the new reply pages on top of new thread pages.
    
  • The persistence of the value of the checkbox when submitting either page when (core) input errors occur, such as message too short.
    

Version 1.3.0 released:

• Adds support for auto-prefixing of threads closed by their authors, as requested by lkop in this post; closes GitHub issue #1 for this plugin.
  

thank you for full filling my request
is there anyway we can edit the "Close Thread" button text?
any option to set user can close the thread only but cannot re-open.

No worries.

Yar. In the ACP, select Configuration then Languages then beside your language pack in the list click Options, then Edit Language Variables, then beside opcanclosethread.lang.php click Edit, and edit the value of opcct_close_thread to your preference. Or just edit that same language file in the filesystem, which achieves the same effect.

I'll take that as a feature request. You're rife with them, apparently. Feel free to add it as a GitHub issue.

thanks again

will it be possible to make an option that admin, mod can use the close thread feature, please?

You can enable it for mods by selecting "Moderators" in the plugin's settings in the ACP: Configuration » Settings » OP Can Close Thread » Authorised Usergroups (multiple usergroups can be selected by holding down ctrl as you select them).

Admins already have access to it via the "Moderation Options:" dropdown box bottom-right of thread pages. When I've finished what I'm working on at the moment I'll see about adding the same "Close Thread" button for admins that other usergroups selected in the above setting see.

Oh, I should add that the button is not shown to those moderators who already have the permission to close threads via the same interface as Admins:

That was a deliberate decision:

https://github.com/mybbgroup/OP-can-clos...a390458744

I'm open to reverting that decision given that it seems that at least you and Eldenroot are unhappy with it.

Moderators and admins that already have mod permissions need not see the Close Thread button to close a thread. They have that ability already.

However, this plugin is for selected usergroups. And given that there is an option to automatically add a thread prefix when that button is clicked, admins and moderators should have the one-click ability for *their* threads if they are in the selected usergroup. If an admin or mod is closing a thread through the moderator's interface, the prefix should not be, and is not, automatically applied.

I am using a [Closed by OP] prefix in my use case.

Nice plugin, just installed it. It solves a problem recently developed in my forum where someone started a conversation and had better thoughts about it. Rather than delete the thread and all the other discussion, It was simply closed by an admin. The OP wanted to have that choice without waiting for an admin response.

Thanks Laird. Your coding is quality.
