well I didnt design it to make updates but it's not hard to adapt anyway. Copy the content of the script to another script with a different name and add line:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("DELETE * from forumpermission WHERE forumid='".$toid."'"); 


before

PHP Code:

$permission=$DB_site->query("SELECT usergroupid,canview, cansearch, canemail, canpostnew, canmove, canopenclose, candeletethread, canreplyown, canreplyothers,  canviewothers, caneditpost, candeletepost, canpostattachment, canpostpoll, canvote, cangetattachment FROM forumpermission WHERE forumid='".$fromid."'"); 


now when you call the script it will first delete the entire permissions for target (toid) forum and recreate them according to parent (fromid) forum..

Please do not apply this change to forumper.php, apply it to the second script you copy/pasted form forumper.php. Use forumper.php to copy permissions for a new forum and use the second script to update permissions for an existing forum..

I Hope it's clear.. :classic:
