Merging forums, deleting posts

[mpoorrajab]

Hi
I got some Subforums with about 900 Threads in each.
I want to move all of Threads to one of them.
How May I do that?
tnx alot



!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
and Another question.
in My UserCP --> Deleted Items --> Posts
I can only see 4 posts each page and it's really hard to move deletes post to "graveyard" like this.
How may I choose lots of deleted posts at once?
tnx

To move all the threads - Admin CP > Threads & Posts > Move

As for the 4 posts each, I think that is hardcoded into the moderation.php page. Look for this line (around line 691) to change it in (I think - I haven't tried it):

PHP Code:

    // set defaults
    sanitize_pageresults($totalposts, $pagenumber, $perpage, 200, 4);

ty very much
but How may I choose 1st Forum?
I mean I only can choose destination forum.



and for the 2nd part, I'm a little noob

You choose the forum you are moving stuff from on the bottom where it says Other Options > Forum

If you are unfamiliar with this, I'd suggest trying it out on a test forum first.



As for the second part, that is the code you would have to change in the file. The API should help you with the function:

sanitize_pageresults (line 2241) Ensures that the variables for a multi-page display are sane
void sanitize_pageresults (integer $numresults, integer &$page, integer &$perpage, [integer $maxperpage = 20], [integer $defaultperpage = 20])

• integer $numresults: Total number of items to be displayed
• integer &$page: (ref) Current page number
• integer &$perpage: (ref) Desired number of results to show per-page
• integer $maxperpage: Maximum allowable results to show per-page
• integer $defaultperpage: Default number of results to show per-page

So, as you can see, you would change the $perpage variable in order to show a lot more posts per page. You can either add "&perpage=xx" to the end of your url (no code change necessary) or you can modify the code to have a default of perpage xx by using a plugin (I'm guessing here since I haven't tried using a plugin for this).
