Installed this and it didnt send a pm :(

Do you have to move a thread without leaving a re-direct for it to work or should it work either way??

Thanks

From the description at the top:

woops missed that - thanks!!

It should be pretty easy to modify it to send a PM in either case though.

How can I exclude some forumid's?

If any mod delete/move/merge... a thread from forumid = '1,2,5' the hack should don't send a message.

very usful.

Any update on the soon new release?

Hi all,

As of right now, I'm going away on holiday for 2 weeks :)

I will answer any questions, fix any bugs, deal with any comaplaints, and test any suggestions when I return in January :)

Happy Holidays all!

Alan.

If you move a post to a forum that is not accessible to the user (like a moderation forum), they get a message that says" $bbuserinfo[username], you do not have permission to access....."

Seems it is not able to find their username if they do not have permission for that page.

Hi all,

I have now returned from my holidays, hope you all had a good <insert-seasonal-holiday-name-here> :)

I'll start answering any questions, fixing any bugs, and adding any new features next week, but I've got a lot of hacks to update, so it might not be immediate :)

Thanks,
Alan.

Welcome back!

Any way to exclude forums? I have a dead archive which threads are moved to then pruned... A LOT of PMs go out just there... Any way to have it NOT sent PMs when forum moved to is id 'X'?

Thanks! :D

i believe thats on the next release... .. im waiting as well..

interesting would be to send the thread owner a customized msg after moving the thread.
My moderators always have to write a pm manually ...

But writing a short msg to the owner inside the move menu would be great.

Perhaps you can think of that idea ...

rob

thank you for this hack, wonderfull tool for me and moderators .-)

Idea for next release:
I do a lot "move post to new thread". It would be nice to have automated PM here too with message with meaning like:
Your post was off topic in thread "xy", so we created new thread that you can find here: "xy".

I would very appreciate this feature :-)

Sorry for being thick but how can I download this? The link is just to an XML file.

right click... save target as...

BUMP....

Is the enhanced version ready yet?

Thanks Alan, works perfect. :)

is there a way to disable this when a thread is moved to certain forums?..i.e...i never delete anything on my site...it's moved to 'the garbage'...but i don't want members to know i've thrown their stuff in 'the garbage'...that would just be wrong.

very nice, thx

installed

is there PM on Thread/Message Delete v1.0 ??? :D

Same situation here.

Ideally there could be an interstitial dialog: "Do you want a PM to be sent to the Threadstarter telling them their thread has been moved?"

90% of the time I love this timesaving hack. But there are times when I really DON'T want a PM sent, and I forget I have this hack installed. :nervous: A dialog like that would let me "confirm" beforehand.

As a workaround until this is addressed, what I've been doing when I don't want the PM sent is this: Copy the thread to the destination forum, then go back and physically delete the original.

Just adding another request to have a tickbox option "Should send Move PM?". That way, if we move to a hidden forum, it won't PM the user a link and confuse them!

Seems like a good idea, only problem is, you can only copy one thread at a time. No way to "mass copy" many selected threads at a time, AFAIK.

So instead I think I'll have to go to AdminCP, temporarily disable this hack, move the threads, then re-enable the hack... ugh.

Installed :up:

Installed :up:

Good Stuff!

Alan, any update to this hack? i'd like to add it but dont want certain forums showing if they are admin or usergroup based

thanks

Yeah, but that only works when you're the only one doing the moving :P I have a sup mod on my board, and she's one cleaner! She sweeps everything, especially when I'm sleeping (different timezones) and can't disable it :P And I don't want to allow her into the AdminCP...

*calls* Aaaalaaaan? You there? I got... *looks* .... candy! Or, coffee, if that's what you prefer!

Thank you :)

Hi Alan, any updates to this hack on the way? :)

Also, I've had to make changes to how I use this, and I forgot one thing. In the plugin, I've modified the fromuserid and fromusername settings to be from a different user now, but I can't figure out how to change the text of the message to show that it is signed by someone else (the "Thanks, {6}" part). Do I change it there, or is this hack managed somewhere in the admincp I forgot about?

I have just checked on a test account on a normal user and its now saying:

your thread has now been moved to the admin section:surprised:

So I'm going to have to disable it before everyone finds out all the hidden parts of the board :(

Hope there is an update :)

Yeah. Same thing happened to me. It was embarrassing. :confused:

Where the new hack :(
We are watting and watting .. :(

Doh ! I was reading thru this and as I was reading I installed the hack to test it to see if it was updated !

*sigh* good hack Alan but the new version would be excellent dude !

Umm it works fine as is. Why would anyone need another version?

very cool .
click install :banana:

How can i set the UserID of author of the PM? I want to use the global admin account.

Thanks
