This addon will allow admins and moderators to view and move multiple threads from one forum to another. You will need to modify 2 scripts (menu.php and chooseforum.php) and upload them and the additional scripts contained in the attached zip file.

Enjoy.

is all I can say... will make an admin's job so much easier... (ok, I could say more )

As coolsome as it is (I dont know how you keep on guessing just what I need), I just have one question.

will this be available from the menu available to admin only or will the moderator menu also show this? I need the mods to do this too actually.

You can place a link to the script in the moderator menu area of the menu.php script located in your admin directory. The code needing to be added for moderators is almost the same as for the admin. I think I gave both examples in the test file?

Yes, you did and it works great Dave! Nice job as always.

Just added this one, thanks. The only thing it might need is a "checkall/uncheckall" box in the threads list

Allen, there should be a box at the bottom that says "Invert". That will check/uncheck all the boxes.

Also, if you wanted to only keep say 2 out of the list from being checked you could check them and then invert then everything else but them 2 will be checked.

aah. ok, thanks

Very cool, very useful.
One comment, would be nice if it displayed according to your showflat/threaded prefferences instead of forcing you into threaded.

I figured that since it moves threads and not individual posts there would be no reason to show threaded. But to do the showthreaded view it would be more involved as then it would basicly be postlist.php with some checkboxes allowing admins/moderators to move things.

For the umpteenth time, thanks dave! Just what I needed Works fine.

hehe was my pleasure. I enjoy creating this stuff. LoL

Is there any limit to the number of threads/posts that can be moved at once?

In other words, if I pick 5,000 threads, will it break?

I think I have it set at 50 per page display. Your going to change that to 5,000? sheesh! lol I forget howmany queries it uses but that's at least 5,000 queries shot at your server at once. It's up to you

Guess not

My reason for asking was I could see a need to move all threads from one board to another.

That could be done with this query:

UPDATE w3t_Posts
SET B_Board = 'newboardkeyword'
WHERE B_Board = 'oldboardkeyword'




But once done you wont be able to undo.

Thank you Dave. It works perfectly.
