Send author PM on thread move

PM on Thread Move


Design Spec:

Alert users that their post has been moved by sending the original
author a private message. This helps prevent clogging the forums
with those ugly moved markers. An additional checkbox will be
shown allowing you to add the PM.


Steps for installation:

-edit one file 'postings.php'
-edit one template 'threads_move'


Tested: 2.2.1


Updated: Will now put a checkbox option to send the PM instead of changing the default move action.

Overgrow, hi
You can make small add-on for this hack? I need send PM to all user's who replies in thread, if thread moving
If you can make this, please make

For those interested in having the Mod/Admin who moved the thread being the originator of the PM instead of Member #1 (or a set Member you choose) here's the change:

In postings.php Change This:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,
fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid,receipt) 
VALUES (NULL,$firstpostinfo[userid],$firstpostinfo[userid],1,'Your post has been 
moved.','".addslashes($movemessage)."',".time().",0,9,0,0,0)");

To This:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,
fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid,receipt) 
VALUES (NULL,$firstpostinfo[userid],$firstpostinfo[userid],$bbuserinfo[userid],'Your post has
been moved.','".addslashes($movemessage)."',".time().",0,9,0,0,0)");

You just need to change the 1 in the original query for the fromuserid to the value for the userid in bbuserinfo. Make sure you do this all in one line, the added lines here are to keep everything from scrolling.

Hope this helps someone. Thanks for the great hack!

This is great but there is a slight issue with it...if the thread is moved to a private forum, the recipient gets told to visit the new thread in the private forum. Of course, then they click on the link and get Permission Denied.

It would be great if it was moved to a private forum, it just said "Your thread was removed" or something, instead of specifiying the new forum.

Thanks

Why would you move a user's thread to a forum they can't access in the first place?

[yzztik]

Because you want it gone from public view but maybe want to save it for record keeping. I do the same in my forum and would love this add-on.

Also, is there a way to include a reason for the thread move in the PM?

I also couldn't get the PM on delete to work. Anyone have any ideas? (I removed all line returns and tried adding a couple things)
