[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

probably the same time as the next release

Ed:

Is there anyway you can take the code that you've written above and when it closes the thread it changes the link to the now closed thread to be the same as the saved copy?

Parker

Again just use what we were talking about for leaving a note when closing a thread, just change the message to indicate the address of our new thread...

I hope there are two options£º
1.save a copy of this message (but closed) in its original forum
2.save a copy this message (keep topic open) in its original forum after moving

I think the second option is useful when an user move a thread to an archive forum.

How to hack the code?

Thanks in advance.

where is the demo ?

well i never got this to work at all.... all it did was move the thread like it did normally

any updates ? I tried again to do this but it doesn't work at all ? can someone check my postings.php file ?

A good thing also, but I think kind of hard, is to move the thread to the new location and leave the original one open. And at the same time post any reply to BOTH of the threads.

Do you think its possible?

Will this work with 1.1.4?

wanted to know before i installed it
