"moved" hack.

[Kedmyster]

I would like to add a filed in a moved post that says from where the post had moved (which category - forum).
how do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

hmm, you can try this:
open showthread.php
find:

PHP Code:

$threadid = intval($threadid);
$thread = verifyid("thread",$threadid,1,1);

if ($wordwrap!=0) {
  $thread['title']=dowordwrap($thread['title']);
}

if (!$thread['visible']) {
  $idname="thread";
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_invalidid")."\");");
  exit;
}

if ($thread['open'] == 10) {
   // send them to their correct thread    
    header("Location: showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[pollid]");
    exit;
}
$forum=getforuminfo($thread['forumid']); 


below add:

PHP Code:

$orgthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid FROM thread WHERE pollid=$threadid AND open=10");
$orgforum=getforuminfo($orgthread['forumid']); 


Now you can use $orgforum[title] in your Showthread template to show the original forum the thread was in.

ok thanks, i'll try it.

[Kedmyster]

it works fine but I have one more request.
My PHP knowledge is absolutely 0 so sorry if it might sounds stupid.

How can I add so it'll right "moved from: $orgforum[title]".
I want it to be in the postbit template too if it's possible.

Thanks

[Xenon]

well you should put after

PHP Code:

$orgforum=getforuminfo($orgthread['forumid']); 


this line:

PHP Code:

if($orgforum['title'] != '') $orgforum['title']='moved from: ' . $orgforum['title']; 


then it'll show up correctly and just if you have moved the thread

in the postbit too?
don't see why, but you have to edit function getpostbit
in your admin/functions.php and add $orgforum in your one of the global lines...

then you can use the same var in your postbit template

thanks alot, worked perfectly.
I wanted it to be in the postbit couse on my board it's a bit different from other boards.
I did a makeover to the showthread (well maybe it's not a makeover but it's the first time i'm using vB and it's went preety well and unique).

Thanks again.

[Xenon]

you're welcome

[Kedmyster]

one last request (hopefully)
how do I add - "moved from by *username*.
Thanks alot, and sorry i'm nagging you...

@Ked: that would be possible, too, but not as easy, because then you have to make DB-changes.
also it won't work for old threads...
