JB: Thread Linking
Display threads in multiple forums without increasing post count!

What does this product do?
This product allows users with giver permission to "mirror" a thread into another forum/subforum without duplicating it or increasing post count.

How may I use this product?
This product is useful for communities that require the functionality to quickly and easily mirror a thread into another forum. It works best with communities that have numerous similar forums, making it easy to post a thread (e.g. news-related) in one forum, and then duplicate it into other sub-forums, or even forums under a different parent. It is permission controlled, meaning admins can choose who has the ability to use the modification.

This modification does have one bug, and that is the destination forum(s) must have at least one thread in it or linked threads won't display. :(

This sounds as great idea. :up:

Installed. Tested. Loved the results. However...

I also have BOP's Master Forums https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245839

And your mod is incompatible with that, as if I try to access any of the "master forums", I get SQL errors. It works just fine in any other forum, though.

So I had to disable it, as that mod already gets plenty of use on my forum.

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.1:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT thread.threadid,
thread.lastpost, thread.lastposter, thread.lastposterid, thread.lastpostid, thread.replycount, IF(thread.views<=thread.replycount, thread.replycount+1, thread.views) AS views
, tuiof.threadid AS tuiof_threadid, tuiof.duplicateforumid AS tuiof_forumid
FROM thread AS thread

/*LEFT JOIN jb_threadurlinotherforum AS tuiof ON (tuiof.duplicateforumid = 33)
WHERE forumid = 33
AND sticky = 0

AND visible IN (0,1,2)



*/ WHERE forumid IN (33,34,187) AND sticky = 0 AND visible IN (0,1,2) OR tuiof.threadid = thread.threadid
ORDER BY sticky DESC, lastpost DESC
LIMIT 0, 20;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'tuiof.threadid' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

I'll see if I can get a fix for that, thanks for notifying me! :)

Demo?

Demo please..

[ozzy47]

Demo of what? It is simple, you can make one thread show in multiple forums. Similar to this mod, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=279156 but yet just a bit different.

Updated original post with some screenshots. :)

Yes! Thanks

Guess you haven't figured out a way to make it compatible with the Master Forums mod?

[Morrus]

Yeah, folk who use Master Forums are likely the same folks interested in this mod - similar thread circulation needs. I feel like this should be core vbulletin functionality. That said, like others, I make use of Master Forums, and this would need to work alongside it.

[x iJailBreak x]

I've issued an update that cleans up one of the plugins and adds a single SQL query to enhance usability on large boards. I'm yet to try it with Master Forums however, and will be working on a fix for that!

EDIT: This update seems to work perfect with BOP5's Master Forums plugin - please let me know if you have any issues!

any Demo?
