I hate manually having to copy/paste message id's for the merge function in ubb.threads. So I've made a little copy/paste thingy.

As soon as you edit a post, the current message id is written to a cookie. If you go into the move/merge screen, that id is put into the Merge topic with Post# field.

Let's go to work!

open /scripts/editpost.inc.php

find

Code

	// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
	// For security purposes we need to verify that this is user made this post or
	// if they are an admin or a moderator for this board.

Just above it add:

Code

	// -------------------------------------------
	// Writes a cookie with the current message id
	
	$html->ubbt_setcookie("lasteditnumber",$Number);

Open /scripts/movethread.inc.php

Find:

Code

	extract($in, EXTR_OVERWRITE | EXTR_REFS); // quick and dirty fix - extract hash values as vars

Just below it add:

Code

	$lasteditnumber = get_input("lasteditnumber","cookie");

Find:

Code

		"days" => $days,

Add below:

Code

		"lasteditnumber" => $lasteditnumber,

open /templates/default/movethread.inc.php

Find:

Code

<label for="type-2">{$lang.MERGE_TOPIC}</label> <input type="text" name="number" size="10" class="form-input" />

replace with:

Code

<label for="type-2">{$lang.MERGE_TOPIC}</label> <input type="text" name="merge" size="10" class="form-input" value="{$lasteditnumber}" />

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

open /templates/default/inline_move.tpl

find:

Code

<label for="type-2">{$lang.MERGE_TOPIC}</label> <input type="text" name="number" size="10" class="form-input" />

replace with:

Code

<label for="type-2">{$lang.MERGE_TOPIC}</label> <input type="text" name="number" size="10" class="form-input" value="{$lasteditnumber}" />

open /scripts/inline_moderation.inc.php
find:

Code

function _inline_move() {
	global $config, $dbh, $ubbt_lang, $html, $in, $userob;

Just below add:

Code

	$lasteditnumber = get_input("lasteditnumber","cookie");

find:

Code

		'totalposts' => $total_posts,
		'is_gallery' => $is_gallery,
	);

	$cfrm = make_ubb_url("ubb=cfrm", "", false);
	return array(
		"header" => array (
			"title" => $ubbt_lang['CONFIRM_MOVE'],
			"refresh" => 0,
			"javascript" => array(),
			"bypass" => "",
			"onload" => "",
			"breadcrumb" => <<<BREADCRUMB
 <a href="{$cfrm}">{$ubbt_lang['FORUM_TEXT']}</a> » {$ubbt_lang['CONFIRM_MOVE']}
BREADCRUMB

Add before:

Code


		"lasteditnumber" => $lasteditnumber,

Anything under the big line in this post you can skip if you don't want the feature enabled in inline moderation!
