jp Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 surely it can't be that hard to implement. all we need is the ability to have a tick box against the search results and the moderator tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this doesn't make the request insurmountable, there's actually a lot more to it than just slapping up some checkboxes and calling it a day in reality.

AlexWebsites Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Maybe only check boxes come up if you apply the filter per app basis. It would make it so much easier to organize content. Surendra.S, MeMaBlue and pequeno 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy STUDque Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 We submitted a support ticket to this end before I started searching the community for answers. Definitely agree this is an essential moderator function (had it on our last forum platform). The response to our ticket was that maybe there's a plug-in that does this. Of course, I'd prefer this to be a base function but until then, does anyone know of a plug-in that can do this? I didn't have much luck searching on my own.

jp Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have just moved 150,000 post manually, which I had to do over several months. I seriously can't believe that I had to do it this way and that i had to waste several months of my life doing something that would have taken a day at most with this function. still not sure how this function doesn't exist in such a feature rich software and that it hasn't been introduced. really limits the ability to manage a forum and is one of the biggest items missing!!!!!!!!!!! pequeno and MeMaBlue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariAge Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yeah, I plan on doing some reorganization of my forums when I move to 4.x, and not being able to mass move topics between forums is going to be a big headache. Or anytime when I create a new forum and want to populate the new forum with the result of a search (something I've done many times in the past). pequeno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexWebsites Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I’m doing this now a little per day for the last week on one of my sites and it’s brutal. Would love to search for a keyword or phrases and move those topics accordingly in bulk. GolfSpy STUDque and AtariAge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariAge Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 3 minutes ago, rainstone.digital said: Please. I've given up on this happening. It's been two years since my first post on this subject above, and nothing's happened yet. Which is a shame, I've created several new forums on my site since then, and it's nigh impossible to move all the relevant threads without being able to mass moderate topics based on a search. Really disappointed in Invision regarding this, as it was an important tool for those with large sites that have many forums and posts.

In that case, @Jordan Invision, you can file this one as follows: Hahaha. But, in less "hahaha" news, this functionality is just unfortunately not in the cards right now. From what I gather, because search can return results from different content types, it's hard to mass-apply moderation actions to say 4 topics, 2 downloads files, 3 blog entries and 6 Pages articles. Of course it's not a hard no, but for now we're going to have to put this on ice and revisit it once we launch 4.6 and have a few less irons in the fire. 😇 If you're feeling frustrated about that, I feel you. If you (generally speaking to all) feel like you need more clarification, let me know please 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeCake Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 It's okay that it's "not right now." It's understandable that it's hard. Hard challenges like this should be considered in the roadmap as a notable gap that engineering should strive to fix. Where you see content, you should be able to moderate content. What doesn't seem hard is providing a deselect all selected box in the moderator toolbar, and allowing checkboxes to propagate across pages of threads. Have you added that one to the list?
