Auto move threads to archive forum after x days

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

Trafix

Added file ...

This file will move threads from a specific forum to another spacific forum, edit as instructed

No problem!

I'm not sure how you do this loop thing but if you could show me how to get rid of this monster of a script it might solve all my problems.

Are sure you I can do it in my situation? Each section I'm moving threads from has its own dead threads section. That's why I thought I had to list them all.

Btw, it worked, only there was another mistake like you pointed out a little lower. Works now!

Is it possible for this to move a thread once some one posts in it?

Like..a thread is started in one forum (news forum) and once someone replies it then moves to a discussion forum so others can reply?

Im guessing no one knows how to do this then with this? :disappointed:

Is there a way to make this work so that after 24 hours of a thread being posted it is moved, regardless of when the last post in the thread was. So basically it only works off when the thread was started, not replied to, and moves aver 24 hours (I assume setting days to 1 would work ).

[HeloHi]

How do you make this move only threads with no replies?

Yeah that happened to me as well. Thank goodness I had a backup from about a week ago because I was in for some serious thread moving.

This hack was a good idea, but it's very annoying to have to move back the stickies every day this script runs. It works great without the stickies bit.

OK I am running 3.0.7 The sticky thing dosen't work any suggestions on how to fix it?

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

if ($DB_site == NULL)
{
	exit;
}

global $DB_site;

 // edit the forum id number
$newforum="25";

// you only need to edit the number of days only
$movedate = strtotime("now -14 days");


// do not edit below

  $DB_site->query("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
SET forumid = $newforum
Where lastpost <= $movedate
AND forumid != $newforum
OR sticky != 1
"); 

log_cron_action('Auto Move Threads To Archive', $nextitem);

Great! This looks like what I need to archive my 2004 posts to a 2004 Archive forum. I want it to maintain the forum structure and be readable, but not postable. I want them to also be searchable.

This looks like the 2 version is for annual moves which is what I need. But it looks like it is for older versions.

Has anyone tried this on version 3.5 yet? And did it leave the stickies?

Thanks for your work on this guys.

Have always been meaning to try something like this for my forums but never got round to doing it.

Hope you can release something like this, since you seem to be on a roll with these cron jobs trafix

I too would like something like that. As I have this "Band/Movie/Song/Etc Games".... And those topics should stop at 250 replies, and then a person starts a new one with the last band/movie/song/etc posted... The above request would be wicked Hehe...

I know it's a long while since this was posted, but... *poke* You alive?

Crap how do you undo this? I want to put the posts back and can't figure out how.
