Moderators Functions - DTO Thread Move Notification - automatically send friendly message when moving thread

Overview

DTO Thread Move Notification is a free product that automatically sends thread authors a friendly private message when a moderator moves their thread to another forum. By automating the process this tool delivers a consistent moderation ?tone? in communicating with thread authors as well as speeding the task of moving threads. When set to active thread notifications are sent in the following ways:

• If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she can see the author will receive a notification via private message.
• If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she cannot see, the moderator performing the move will receive a private message notification reminder to contact the author and let them know why it was removed from the publicly visible forum.
• If the thread is moved from a forum that the author cannot see to another that he/she can see the author will receive a notification.
• If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she can see and a redirect is left in the previous forum the author will receive a private message notification that includes text to inform them a redirect was left and the duration the redirect will remain active.

This is a great idea. I'm gonna try it out.

Just one thing, why not implement other moderation actions like move, delete, combine, etc but not only threads but also por posts ?
May be e-mails traffic would increase but would be nice.

Good ideas. I'll consider this for future enhancements if others feel that it would be useful as well. To be honest in using this on several sites ourselves we never had the need to expand it beyond the thread move functionality. Regardless we'll give this some consideration for future releases.

Thanks!

Ever since I installed this, I've been getting this error on various pages. The only one I can think of at the moment is my Gameroom and my addonchat... There's only one other mod I installed at the same time I installed this one so I'm just trying to figure out what/which one is causing the problem?

"Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/init.php(304) : eval()'d code on line 241"

[mferguson]

I believe we use an init plugin to load the phrase group where the messaging phrases are stored. Can you disable the Thread Move product and see if you continue to receive the messages? If the errors stop, let me know via PM and I'll work with you to get the issue resolved.

Thanks!
