Description

Locks threads from posting by anyone who is not an admin. This Includes Global Moderators.
Great way to prevent moderators from unlocking topics you don't want reopened.



Installation

Simply install the package to install this modification on the Default theme.


You will have to manually edit if you have a custom theme.


To add this mod to a custom theme, open the Display.template.php file for your theme and search for:
$mod_buttons = array(
'move' => array('test' => 'can_move', 'text' => 132, 'image' => 'admin_move.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=movetopic;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),

'delete' => array('test' => 'can_delete', 'text' => 63, 'image' => 'admin_rem.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'onclick="return confirm(\'' . $txt[162] . '\');"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=removetopic2;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0;sesc=' . $context['session_id']),

'lock' => array('test' => 'can_lock', 'text' => empty($context['is_locked']) ? 'smf279' : 'smf280', 'image' => 'admin_lock.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=lock;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';sesc=' . $context['session_id']),

'sticky' => array('test' => 'can_sticky', 'text' => empty($context['is_sticky']) ? 'smf277' : 'smf278', 'image' => 'admin_sticky.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=sticky;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';sesc=' . $context['session_id']),

'merge' => array('test' => 'can_merge', 'text' => 'smf252', 'image' => 'merge.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=mergetopics;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0;from=' . $context['current_topic']),

'remove_poll' => array('test' => 'can_remove_poll', 'text' => 'poll_remove', 'image' => 'admin_remove_poll.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'onclick="return confirm(\'' . $txt['poll_remove_warn'] .

'?action=alock;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';sesc=' . $context['session_id']),
