Auto move threads to archive forum after x days · **Released**: 01-20-2005

Requested by Floris

This is another simple script based on the Close thread after 30 days .... BUT ...

This one will auto move all threads to an archive forum where the last post is 365 days or older

There is 2 variables for you to edit
1)
Defult is set to "1"
$newforum = the forum number that these threads are to be moved to

2)
Defult is set to 365
this means that threads that havnt been replied to in the last 365 days will be moved to the nominated archive forum
you can change 365 to whatever days you like

How hard would it be to amend the script to move the messages from a live forum inside a sub-category to an archived forum within a designated "Archives" category?

For example:

LIVE CATEGORY
All The Latest (sub-category)
|---> News (forum)

ARCHIVES CATEGORY
---> News (archived forum)

What I'm trying to achieve is not to place "all" messages from all forums into a single forum....rather....place messages from a single forum into a designated archived forum of the same name but within a category called "Archives".

Hope that makes sense!?!?

Thanks.

should be quite easy

So it's something you would consider to incorporate into this hack or something I would need to request of you off the forum?

trafix · #15 01-21-2005, 08:12 PM

i have added the script for this to the first post

funkmeister · #16 01-21-2005, 11:07 PM

Many thanks trafix - excellent work, thank you.

Just to push the envelope a little further

How might I be able to include a start & end time? In other words, let's say I wanted to move all messages from a specific year, so for example....January 1st, 2002 to December 31st, 2002....into an archive sub-forum called 2002 Archives?

That way, at the end of each year, I'd be able to archive it's messages and start over from scratch with a 'clean' set of live forums for the new year.

Just an idea. Thanks.

What about a script that follows on from your close posts after 30 days. I need one that automatically moved these closed threads/posts to a section called cemetary IE posts/threads that are no longer active.

Laters
