Move Thread Presets (New Version - Templates Only)

Moving threads is something we all do on a somewhat regular to fairly regular basis. The existing move system is very flexiable, but if you find yourself making repeated moves to the same forum it can become tedious, especially if you are on dialup.

This template mod (version 1.0 was a hack) takes some of the pain out of the repetition by allowing you make the thread move with a single mouse click from the thread presets.

This is a very simple modification. It only requires 3 modifications spread over 2 templates.

The main advantage of version 2.0 over version 1.1 is that no code modifications are necessary. This makes things less of a pain during upgrades. And as a bonus it doesn't void your support plan from Jelsoft.

Version 2.01 - bug fix.

EDIT: You can also make a preset that copies threads with this hack if you specify $_POST['method'] = 'copy'; instead of 'move' or 'movered'

Thanks alot. Worked like a champ.

This is one of those hacks that might not seem like a major deal, but it actually does save a tad bit of bandwidth of reloading the move thread page for people with alot of threads to move.

And also, well just makes it alot easier for my lazy people

Thanks again.

NP, and thanks for pointing it out. Updated the attachment to reflect the information we just discussed.

Edit2: Added additional information so you can choose whether or not to leave behind a thread redirect in the preset.

Edit3: I'm running RC4 - I'm pretty sure it will function in later releases as well since most of the patches had nothing to do with postings.php to my limited knowledge.

Simple, yet effective. Thanks a lot.

Any chance of a screenshot, i dont understand exactly what this does?

It adds this option to your thread tools in threads.

It's basically like a one-time click type deal.

Normally, when you click the other option "Move Thread" you have to pick the forum you want it to be moved to, and if you want to copy it, or move it, or move it without redirect.

The way I have it set up is we move all garbage posts into a Recycle Bin. So with this, I click that option, and with one click, it's moved into the forum i chose (Bin) automatically without a redirect.

Thanks all for the support. I'm still struggling to learn MySQL and PHP better - would anyone know of any good tutorial sites for this? I've downloaded the respective manuals and I'm slowly getting back up to speed - I haven't done extensive coding since working with C=64 BASIC - programming conventions sure have changed.
