[RELEASE] 'Save Copy' Move Hack

Ok, it's the really simple, crappy version - sue me!

Not tested too much (only twice), but seemed to work relatively well.

postings.php, find:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET forumid=$forumid WHERE threadid=$threadid");

ABOVE it add:

  if ($savecopy) {
  	$threadinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title,lastpost,forumid,open,replycount,postusername,lastposter,dateline,views,iconid,notes,visible,subjectindex,threadindex,userindex FROM thread WHERE threadid=$threadid");
  	$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO thread (threadid,title,lastpost,forumid,open,replycount,postusername,lastposter,dateline,views,iconid,notes,visible,subjectindex,threadindex,userindex) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes("$threadinfo[title]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[lastpost]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[forumid]")."',0,'".addslashes("$threadinfo[replycount]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[postusername]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[lastposter]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[dateline]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[views]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[iconid]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[notes]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[visible]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[subjectindex]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[threadindex]")."','".addslashes("$threadinfo[userindex]")."')");
  	$newid=$DB_site->insert_id();
  	$posts=$DB_site->query("SELECT postid,threadid,username,userid,title,dateline,pagetext,allowsmilie,email,signature,ipaddress,iconid,visible FROM post WHERE threadid=$threadid");
  	while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts)) {
  		$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO post (postid,threadid,username,userid,title,dateline,pagetext,allowsmilie,email,signature,ipaddress,iconid,visible) VALUES (NULL,'$newid','".addslashes("$post[username]")."','".addslashes("$post[userid]")."','".addslashes("$post[title]")."','".addslashes("$post[dateline]")."','".addslashes("$post[pagetext]")."','".addslashes("$post[allowsmilie]")."','".addslashes("$post[email]")."','".addslashes("$post[signature]")."','".addslashes("$post[ipaddress]")."','".addslashes("$post[iconid]")."','".addslashes("$post[visible]")."')");
  	}
  }

find:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=$numberposts,threadcount=threadcount-1,lastpost=$lastpost,lastposter='".addslashes($lastposter)."' WHERE forumid=$curforumid");

REPLACE with:

  if (!$savecopy) {
  	$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=$numberposts,threadcount=threadcount-1,lastpost=$lastpost,lastposter='".addslashes($lastposter)."' WHERE forumid=$curforumid");
  }

find:

eval("echo standardredirect(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("redirect_movethread")."\",\"showthread.php?threadid=$threadid\");");

REPLACE with:

  if ($savecopy) {
  	eval("echo standardredirect(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("redirect_movethread")."\",\"showthread.php?threadid=$newid\");");
  } else {
  	eval("echo standardredirect(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("redirect_movethread")."\",\"showthread.php?threadid=$threadid\");");
  }

Close that.

Now, in your move template, add this somewhere:

<TD><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="savecopy" value="yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; <normalfont>Do you want to save a copy of this message (but closed) in its original forum?</normalfont></td>

----
That's it, you should be done.
Maybe not efficient, but it works

BTW, sorry there's no note on the page - I don't feel like adding a whole column to the database for that

Well, not, really as this hack touches the post/thread/forum tables and all the hacks you have installed don't go there.

I'll try this a little later and get back to you eva.

thanks guys... for now i reverted back to my original posting.php file and commented out the entry in move template for now

looks like I'm not gonna be able to try it out till tomorrow, and when I do I'll *probably* take a crack at the damned PM hack too eva, so I'll tell you how that goes

Well..

It moves the files and copies it now but I still would like for the old file that is copied to now act as a link to the new location so that when someone goes to click on this now closed topic it takes them to the area it got moved to.

Thanks,
Parker

huh... doesn't do that for me, it just moves the thread like it originally did...

well i have finally set up my test forum so can test it a bit more

Now that I have a working board, is there anyway you can get this working?? Pretty please????

Ed:

Just want to revisit this. Any ideas on how to make the old topic, that is now closed, a link to the new topic are that it got moved to? Or if this isn't possible how about a message that gets put in the old topic that says something like "This topic as been moved. Click here to go to the new area it has been moved to" or similar.

yeah... i nearly forgot about this must need feature... will the next release have this ?

What is the progress on this one? Did anyone hear if John is going to be including this in the next version or the script or what?

Speaking of John I haven't seen anything from him in several weeks. I know he was gone but when does he get back?
