Please UNINSTALL this mod before installing the new one
Description
This is a simple little plugin which will send a PM to the thread owner when one of their threads is moved to a different forum, and a re-direct is NOT used.
Quite often the problem arrises of re-directs cluttering up a forum, but if you move a thread without a redirect, then users cannot find it.
This plugin should solve that problem.
Installation
Just upload the attached product XML file. It will add 2 new hooks, and 2 new phrases.
Notes
This currently only works if you move the thread using either the ajax inline moderation, or the Thread Tools menu. If you move the thread from within the ModCP or the AdminCP, then it will not send a PM.
The PM subject and text are stored in the GLOBAL phrases "q_pm_on_move_message_subject" and "q_pm_on_move_message_text" respectivly
Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

Any way to exclude forums? I have a dead archive which threads are moved to then pruned... A LOT of PMs go out just there... Any way to have it NOT sent PMs when forum moved to is id 'X'?
Same situation here.
Ideally there could be an interstitial dialog: "Do you want a PM to be sent to the Threadstarter telling them their thread has been moved?"
90% of the time I love this timesaving hack. But there are times when I really DON'T want a PM sent, and I forget I have this hack installed. :nervous: A dialog like that would let me "confirm" beforehand.
As a workaround until this is addressed, what I've been doing when I don't want the PM sent is this: Copy the thread to the destination forum, then go back and physically delete the original.
Just adding another request to have a tickbox option "Should send Move PM?". That way, if we move to a hidden forum, it won't PM the user a link and confuse them!

Seems like a good idea, only problem is, you can only copy one thread at a time. No way to "mass copy" many selected threads at a time, AFAIK.
So instead I think I'll have to go to AdminCP, temporarily disable this hack, move the threads, then re-enable the hack... ugh.
ben_erhan: I'll be sure to add permission checking into the next release. If the user doesn't have permission to view the forum it's being moved to, then it won't tell them about the forum.
Alan, any update to this hack? i'd like to add it but dont want certain forums showing if they are admin or usergroup based

Yeah, but that only works when you're the only one doing the moving :P I have a sup mod on my board, and she's one cleaner! She sweeps everything, especially when I'm sleeping (different timezones) and can't disable it :P And I don't want to allow her into the AdminCP...
*calls* Aaaalaaaan? You there? I got... *looks* .... candy! Or, coffee, if that's what you prefer!
