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.

Welcome.. It's all stuff I've already written for my site and that I'm in the process of transferring to a client's site. So as I'm transferring I'm writing them up for release. I have about 3 dozen more like this

Very cool hack.

Thanks.

Would it be possible to modify this so that there is still an option to just move the thread with no action accompanying it?

Yes, I like that way much better. I've changed the text file up above so it provides a checkbox option, instead of changing the default action.

If you've already installed this: you'll have to revert your postings.php by deleting out the part you added and then following the instructions again. Same with the template.

Great!

I think there may be some kind of issue here with replacing already included attachment files. The attachment appears to be the same.

Overgrow · #8 03-03-2002, 08:01 AM

OK, should be fixed, re-uploaded with a new name.

And here it is again in case your browser is caching the attachment file.

I was thinking renaming the file would be a work around too, but I still get the same file as before, name and all. I wonder if this is an issue only native to this board or if it affects all 2.2.1 boards? :\
