Discussion info/opts

Hi I wanted to know where can I see if a discussion is closed and also how could I restrict people from writing in a discussion without closing it

Assuming this is for your personal forum, If it is closed (locked) there will be a label saying closed or locked, or whatever you set it to in your Application Settings. If you don't want people to be able to reply to a post without actually locking it, you can do this through the Category Roles or Multi-Roles add-on. by creating a category and not giving that role the ability to reply to it.

Garvin,

Jugoso is asking how he can know if a discussion it's closed inside an extension. Something like:

if ($Context->Discussion->Closed) { // discussion is closed } else { // discussion is open }

Also, he's asking how ShowForm works. We've tried something like "ShowForm = 0" for a Discussion (so no one can reply, like in Category Roles) but it doesn't work. We don't know why

Thanks for yout attention
