Tip: Using function q_item_title() and custom theme to mark question as duplicate in questions list

Question

If you want to mark questions that are closed as duplicates in your questions list, you can use the advanced theme like that:

// override function to mark duplicate question
function q_item_title($q_item)
{
    // init string
    $showDup = '';
    // check for closed question
    $closed = (@$q_item['raw']['closedbyid'] !== null);
    if($closed) {
        // check if duplicate
        $closedByQu = qa_db_read_one_value( qa_db_query_sub('SELECT postid FROM `^posts`
                                                                WHERE `postid` = #
                                                                AND `type` = "Q"
                                                                ;', $q_item['raw']['closedbyid']), true );
        if(isset($closedByQu)) {
            $showDup = '<span class="qa-q-duplicate">Duplicate will be deleted</span>';
        }
    }
    // output in question list
    $this->output(
        '<DIV CLASS="qa-q-item-title">',
        '<A HREF="'.$q_item['url'].'">'.$q_item['title'].'</A>',
        $showDup,
        '</DIV>'
    );
}
 

It will add "Duplicate will be deleted" below the question title. I am using this to tidy up a bit =)

Hope that helps,
