View Full Version : Best way to duplicate threads in 2 different forums

I have a need on my site to create 2 threads in different areas of my forum at the same time based upon a single post (as oppose to manually creating 2 threads with the same thing)

This is something that would be limited to posts in a specific forum that would use Prefixes to highlight where the duplicate thread would be created.

Edit - is there a way that this can happen?

Yes, this can be done with some custom coding. You would need a plugin hooked at a point where a new thread in the designated forum(s) is saved, which, based on the thread's prefix, would use vBulletin's intrinsic data manager to create a new thread in the appropriate forum.

I envision a product that has a setting that allows you to define source forums, prefixes and the destination forum associated with each prefix set (may contain multiple prefixes).
