Auto-move thread

[patvdv]

Hi,

I am trying to come up with a way to move threads by a background job. I have seen that there is a routine present in postings.php to accomplish this but it works by means of an interactive dialog first (the move thread option). How can I make a thread move WITHOUT having to pass through this dialog box?

I have tried something like:
../../postings.php?s=&action=domove&threadid=7000&forumid=66&method=move

But it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Just look at the postings.php code and copy it to your file.

Mmm, that doesn't really help me any further. What difference does it make if I duplicate the code in my own script? Or do I only take a part of the 'move thread' section?

[Admin]

Only part of it, you don't need to check for moderator permissions, just the queries that actually move the thread ("UPDATE thread SET forumid" or whatever).

Hey Firefly,

Thanks for the pointers! I will play around a little bit and see if I can get it working :)
