May 11, 20168 yr Still waiting for that feature, bought it just for that, currently not using it because of all the hassle of duplicated topics when saving a promoted article.

You bought on Jan 01, tested on Jan 01 and then you made the request: You didn't buy it ONLY because I said I would do something. I will work on it as soon as I finish the other work I'm in.
May 11, 20168 yr Errr... I'm not attacking you or anything, maybe my wording wasn't the most appropriate... I meant that I had this in mind when I purchased it, just to have the same functionality I had in 3.4, I think we even talked about it in the private conversation. Edited May 11, 20168 yr by -FP
May 14, 20168 yr @Adriano Faria not sure if reported but I noticed today that the post tags are not taken as article tags in the promotion.
May 14, 20168 yr Author Tags? No, it doesn't add tags. I'll add for the next version, later next week.

June 22, 20168 yr Author Please, can you confirm which option "won"? I was/am developing two big apps and wasn't following this.

June 22, 20168 yr I thought the suggestion to offer the user the option to either create a new topic or use the existing topic was the best solution.
June 23, 20168 yr Hi, Does this mod allow you to promote the first post of a topic to a new article, and the replies to the topic become the comments on the new Article, so that you can then delete the original topic? I just need to move my topics into Pages, so I can remove the unused Forums app. I don't need it to duplicate topics etc. Does it now move the Tags to the Article as well? Does it allow you to convert multiple topics to articles at once or do you need to to do them one at a time? Many thanks!

People want to make it the article topic, not use it for comments. 2 hours ago, The Old Man said: Does it now move the Tags to the Article as well?

June 25, 20168 yr Thanks Adriano. I don't grasp why you wouldn't want to move replies to articles comments. I'm obviously missing why that's preferable. Perhaps it's because I'm looking to remove Forums which are completely dead on one of sites (people seem to prefer to use social media for convenience), and fully switch to Pages instead. I'm actually looking to move my News articles which are topics that were shown on the home page via RSS, it's a one time transfer. Think I'm just going to have to move them all (about 200 topics) manually via copy and pasting, changing the date if the article each time to the original date of the topic unless I can figure out how to do it via phpmyadmin. Nightmare!

Nightmare! My need for "Promote Post to Article" is completely different. My members bring new topics to the Forums every day, quite a few of those topic posts are original blogs. I want to create a front page that highlights these topics. It's a continual process. However, I don't want to have two locations on my site for a split discussion on the same topic, thus I wish for the comments to go back in the original forum topic for discussion. The app currently puts all new comments on pages as you need, several of us have asked Adrian to give the option for comments to return to the original topic post or on the newly promoted article.
June 25, 20168 yr Author And that's the problem. Everybody wants something different. Sorry guys, I can't do a plugin withn 10 options. That's why I requested everybody who purchased this to tell what they want; the option with "more votes" will be applied.

That's why I requested everybody who purchased this to tell what they want; the option with "more votes" will be applied. Where do we vote? Several of us here in this topic have asked for the same thing - to have an option to link all comments back to the original forum topic. I've purchased this and haven't used it yet because I don't want duplicate comment discussion locations for the same topic. I'm cool with a no comment option for the newly promoted article and I'll post my own link back to the original forum topic for comment and discussion if needed. something like .., Join in the discussion "here" where "here" is a link back to the original topic post.
June 25, 20168 yr Can't the plugin just have an ACP setting to choose what to do? 1. Use the existing topic as the topic for the promoted article comments instead of creating a new topic when saving the new article. 2. Whatever other option. I believe is not use the existing comments at all.

June 25, 20168 yr I like the way it works now by showing topic replies as comments in the article. I just didn't want a new topic created on promotion which ends up causing duplicate topics.

But what happens to your original discussion that may have started before you promoted the Topic Post to Article?
