Keep redirections for merged threads

If you merge Thread A into Thread B, Thread A will be deleted afterwards.
Now your users might be confused as they can't find the thread anymore.

This hack changes this behaviour: Thread A will become a redirect to the merged Thread B.

In postings.php FIND

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE threadid = $mergethreadid");

REPLACE that with

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET open = 10, pollid = $threadid WHERE threadid = $mergethreadid");

this is great, another great one would be actually making redirects for merged threads.

i.e. making the old thread in the forumdisplay into a redirect to the merged thread.

Erm ... this is what this hack does ;)
The old thread (Thread A) will become a redirect to the merged Thread B.

Where'd you ever get the idea for a hack like this? ;)

Just kidding, thanks!
