Is there a component so when a topic is marked as Solved, the topic gets locked and a custom message is posted with it?

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the question of whether there is a component that can automatically lock a topic and post a custom message when it is marked as solved. Moin suggests using the “solved topics auto close hours” admin setting, which can close a topic after a set time period (minimum 1 hour) once it has received a solution. However, the original poster 45thj5ej is looking for an immediate lock and a custom message, which is not possible with the current settings.

Moin mentions that this topic is about the solved plugin, and pfaffman suggests that a custom plugin might be needed to achieve the desired functionality. 45thj5ej clarifies that they are not experiencing problems with topics not being locked, but rather want to accomplish a custom message being posted when a topic is marked as solved.

Heliosurge suggests two possible plugins that might be able to accomplish the desired functionality: the Discourse Automation Plugin and a collection of automations. However, 45thj5ej has already looked into the Automation Plugin and does not think it currently does what they want it to do.

Basically, same as title.

2

You can auto-close solved topics

3

Looks like instant isn’t an option? 1hr minimum? :sweat_smile:

Also need a custom solve/lock message or reply to be posted when solved.

5

Since this topic is about the solved plugin I added the tag. I did not mark this topic as solved.

I think you’ll need a plugin.

The reason there’s a delay is that sometimes people realize it’s not solved or someone else has another comment.

Have you had problems because topics are not locked?

7

No “problems,” per-say, but for my purposes, would heavily prefer an immediate lock, but the main thing I want to accomplish here is a message that gets put when Solved.

8

Not sure but either of these two might be able to accomplish your needs

And (this is another collection of automations)

Hey, yeah, I made a comment on the Automation Plugin. I don’t think it currently does what I want it to.
