Move Thread Presets (New Version - Templates Only)

Moving threads is something we all do on a somewhat regular to fairly regular basis. The existing move system is very flexiable, but if you find yourself making repeated moves to the same forum it can become tedious, especially if you are on dialup.

This template mod (version 1.0 was a hack) takes some of the pain out of the repetition by allowing you make the thread move with a single mouse click from the thread presets.

This is a very simple modification. It only requires 3 modifications spread over 2 templates.

The main advantage of version 2.0 over version 1.1 is that no code modifications are necessary. This makes things less of a pain during upgrades. And as a bonus it doesn't void your support plan from Jelsoft.

Version 2.01 - bug fix.

EDIT: You can also make a preset that copies threads with this hack if you specify $_POST['method'] = 'copy'; instead of 'move' or 'movered'

I'm trying, but the server keeps timing out anytime I try to attach the file or edit the first post.

Ok I figured it out. You see, I drive a truck for a living and usually I access the net through WIFI or my cell phone. However, this weekend I'm on my home's LAN, and the router has a glitch blocking large HTML sends I never have figured out. Instead I dodge the issue by hooking the computer straight into the DSL modem when I need to send files. Sorry for the confusion.

Just one thing.

I use a recycle bin or trash area, so by installing this hack and having the new option Move Thread to Bin, how can I make it default so Move Thread Without Redirect is a default preset along with the Recycle Bin Forum that will be a preset default?

Add this line in the if statement directly after the forum id of your recycle bin.

 $_POST['method'] = 'move';

Hence the whole if statement should read something like this...

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'archive')
{
 $_POST['do'] = 'domovethread';
 $_POST['forumid'] = '52';
 $_POST['method'] = 'move';
}

Thanks for pointing this out. I don't necessarily want redirects either but I didn't bother to check to see whether or not they were being left.
