How hard would it be to amend the script to move the messages from a live forum inside a sub-category to an archived forum within a designated "Archives" category?

For example:

LIVE CATEGORY
All The Latest (sub-category)
|---> News (forum)

ARCHIVES CATEGORY
---> News (archived forum)

What I'm trying to achieve is not to place "all" messages from all forums into a single forum....rather....place messages from a single forum into a designated archived forum of the same name but within a category called "Archives".

Hope that makes sense!?!?

Thanks.

should be quite easy

So it's something you would consider to incorporate into this hack or something I would need to request of you off the forum?

i have added the script for this to the first post :)

Many thanks trafix - excellent work, thank you.

Just to push the envelope a little further ;) How might I be able to include a start & end time? In other words, let's say I wanted to move all messages from a specific year, so for example....January 1st, 2002 to December 31st, 2002....into an archive sub-forum called 2002 Archives?

That way, at the end of each year, I'd be able to archive it's messages and start over from scratch with a 'clean' set of live forums for the new year.

Just an idea. Thanks.

ill look at it for you ... again it should be easy

What about a script that follows on from your close posts after 30 days. I need one that automatically moved these closed threads/posts to a section called cemetary IE posts/threads that are no longer active.

Laters

yep run the cron scripts back to back :) ... the otherone closes the thread then this one come in and moves them :)

Many thanks, look forward to it.

Ahhhh nice one :)
