Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 15, 20159 yr About This File This plugin will allow moderators with permission toMOVE CONTENT to also copy topics to the same or to another forum. Topic Info tab: Choose the destination forum (it can be the same forum) Topic title: popup appears with the current title, but you can type a new one Topic author: popup appears with the current author, but you can choose a new one Topic State tab: Allows you to start the new topic with the following states: locked, pinned, hidden and featured This tab will only appears if the moderator has any of the permissions: lock content, pin content, hide content or feature content. If the moderator has only one of them, of this one will appear. Extra Data tab: Option to increment topic author content count. If the source topic has a poll, it will display an option asking if you also want to copy the poll (not the votes, only questions and choices). If the source topic has attachments, they will be added to the new topic as if they were added using the Insert existing attachment IPS4 feature.
September 17, 20159 yr Hi Adriano, i noticed the action only copies the first topic post without the following responses, is this by design? how would one copy the entire branch? Edited September 17, 20159 yr by Chris Bell
September 17, 20159 yr Author It is designed to copy only the first post. The other posts are REPLIES. Edited September 17, 20159 yr by Adriano Faria
September 17, 20159 yr Thank you Adriano, this kind of defeats the purpose for me, the first post is the question, the reply is as important if not more, the whole point in my case is to copy a thread with replies (normally technical issues relating our products) then copy it to a language specific forum so we can than translate it; with reply's containing the answer or further discussions
September 17, 20159 yr Author 7 minutes ago, Chris Bell said: the first post is the question, the reply is as important if not more, I just can't see any sense on it. So if you have a topic with 300 replies, from two years ago, a new topic will have the first post + 300 replies, all of them dated today ?!? You can have users banned, abandoned the board, etc.
September 17, 20159 yr i run a dedicated support forums for our products, we run additional two language support; DE and FR, its not a major concern if a user is not active or was banned; his answer could still be valuable and informative, most of the questions are asked in English; our mods will copy the important questions and translate to the the same sub forum in the specific language, mainly to avoid repetitive questions; as well as to help people who don't speak English to have a native translation for important technical issues Edited September 17, 20159 yr by Chris Bell
September 17, 20159 yr Author That's the problem. I can't add a feature only thinking in you. I would have to make it as an option. So if I did, it will have one new setting. Then another user wants to use the new feature but he doesn't want that all 300 posts has TODAY as date, so here I go again to add a new setting to keep the original date of the post. You could use the support topic to ask this before. Anyway, I'm not sure. I'll give some thought.
September 17, 20159 yr Thank you Adriano, i agree, not everyone need the same function as me, it would be nice if replies could be copied as an option; not mandatory! the post date isn't critical in my case; it is the question at hand and the response it receives that is important, Edited September 17, 20159 yr by Chris Bell
September 17, 20159 yr Author I'll probably add a new tab called Replies with options to copy and keep the original post date... in this case, the first post (and the topic itself) would have the orginial date as well. Not sure yet.
September 17, 20159 yr in many cases not all replies are even necessary; maybe 1-3 replies are relevant and will likely be kept with the original question (when copied to be translated)
September 17, 20159 yr Author What's New in Version 1.0.1: Added option to copy topic replies Quote Topic Replies tab: Allows you to choose if you also want to copy the replies from the source topic. You also has the option to keep the original posts date or if they will have the current date/time on new topic. This tab will only appears if the source topic has replies.
October 13, 20159 yr I am having an issue when copying a topic to a child forum in another area. I just get a spinning icon and it never displays the child forum sections underneath. Edited October 13, 20159 yr by DallastheDog

That one is weird and honestly I don't know what to say. My plugin uses the $form->node object type (default made by IPS) to list those type of things. Is this also happening when you try to move a topic, for example ? There are appears the same dropdown.
October 13, 20159 yr Let me go try to move a topic and see. Thanks for the quick reply. Move does show the child forums and works.
October 23, 20159 yr I've purchased the plugin hoping it would help me to copy topics from forums/forums to collabs/forums. unfortunately it can only copy topics from forums/forums to forums/forums or from collabs/forums to collabs/forums. Is there any way to go around it? I could see that there is a drop down menu listing the forums to copy to and that is where the problem is for me, if there was an option to enter a path or forum number I think the problem would be resolved, but I understand not everybody would be in need of this tweak. Any idea how to go around the current limitations please?

I'm sorry, There's nothing in this plugin description that mentions any other 3rd-party app. There's this support topic to ask questions before you purchase. You could also send a PM. I don't have this other resource. You better ask @Kevin Carwile to help on it or add such feature on his resource.
January 13, 20169 yr recently upgraded to latest version of IPS4 (4.1.6.1) and during the upgrade it disabled this and other (3rd party) plugins. After re-enabling it, it now throws a EX1054 error when copying a topic with poll ... any ideas ?
