Stable tag: 2.0.3
Adds the ability to set a support status on topics and thus turn the forum into a support forum.
== Description ==
This plugin creates an option to convert a bbPress installation into a
support forum where the users can mark the topics as resolved, not resolved
or not a support question.
The administrator can also set the default status of the topics and some
other options as well.
Two of these options add a visual marker to each topic to indicate it's
support/locked status.
* Not a support question = empty slot
* Unresolved = red ball (alternative orange ball also provided)
* Resolved = green ball
* Locked = padlock
Please Note: this plugin contains functionality that was standard before
bbPress 0.75, for details please look at http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/496
== Installation ==
1. If you don't have a /my-plugins/ directory in your bbpress installaltion,
create it on the same level as config.php.
2. Upload the file into /my-plugins/ directory
3. Also copy the PNG images into the my-plugins directory. There is an alternative
icon for the "no" status which is orange instead of red, rename as required.
4. If you are migrating from version 1.0 of the plugin, go to the
administration area and update the topics to the new format
Configuration can be carried out within the admin area of bbPress, you
will need to be logged in as a keymaster.
