[CMS] Use original thread for comments
Developer Last Online: Sep 2014
As of 4.1.11 this functionality is included in vbulletin. So you no longer need this mod.
What does this do? This is a really simple hack that sets the thread for article comments to be the original thread for any thread that is promoted to an article. What can I use it for? This mod has two major uses: 1. If you have a wealth of information in your forums and you want to promote it into articles, this mod allows you to retain the rest of the thread as comments in the cms while adding any new comments as replies to the thread; essentially allowing it to function as both a forum thread and a CMS article. 2. If you want to use multiple fourms for CMS comments. This is a fairly none obvious use case, but probably a popular one. If you have three sections in your cms (for example) and want each section to feed into its own forum, the current cms dosn't allow you to do this. With this mod installed, you can. Instead of creating your new article directly in the cms create it in the forum you wish to use for comments. Write your article as the first post of the thread and promote it to a cms article. Fill out the extra information needed (eg publish date) and save. Comments will be saved into the original thread, in the forum you created it in. Installation Vb 4.0.1 and later 1. Import product Uninstallation 1. Disable the plugin "set thread id" Full uninstallation 1. Move threads that have been promoted to articles into the vbcms comments forum. 2. COPY the threads back to their original forums 3. Remove product Steps 1 and 2 are needed to retain cache functions on the comments threads. Without them new comments will not appear on the article.

It doesn't work at all in 4.0.6?
The good news is that /finially/ vb seem to have taken notice of this bug report: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-952 |

I'm a bit confused..
Which of the following should I be using to install .. just the 'hooks'? hooks_vbcms.xml (748 Bytes, 313 downloads) product-imhotek_useoriginalthread alpha 2.xml (2.0 KB, 474 downloads) |

Yes, you are very confused, and apparently haven't been reading. You shouldn't install anything right now as it doesn't work.

It is working for me on 4.0.3 I understand it is not working on 4.0.6. I would like to upgrade to 4.0.6 but will not to preserve this.
Having this has increased my revenue by quite a bit. (well, it had dropped to near 0 but went up a bit after this) I don't understand what changes have taken place so if this cannot be made to work on 4.0.6 financially I need to stay where I am at. If a solution comes around I will gladly upgrade at that point |

This is interesting. Why would it start working in 4.0.6 on it's own?
Ok....I guess I can starting thinking about 4.0.6 |
