Another setting is needed to also choose what to do depending on if you promote the first post of the topic, or any other in the topic. If you promote the first post, then what NoGi said works just fine, I don't see why it would need to be different. Edited June 25, 2016 by -FP NoGi 1 Link to comment

I use articles for static content that is useful as reference. The discussion continues in original topic and those posts show as comments in the article anyway. The Old Man 1 Link to comment
IveLeft... Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Question, it says promote only first post, is this optional (before i buy) as in can you promote and promote all posts below first post ? Link to comment

It's a setting: If enabled, will allow only first post to be promoted. Otherwise, all posts can be promoted. IveLeft... and The Old Man 2 Link to comment

IveLeft... Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 @Adriano Faria Thanks. When promoting does it give you the option to select which category to promote to within the db ? Link to comment

InsideEdge Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 39 minutes ago, Adriano Faria said: Please, decide and let me know. As reading through this discussion in this thread it seems that several here who wanted the article discussion in the forums have changed their mind and now use the feature to promote the topic post and all comments to the new Article. I do prefer to have my discussion content in the forums as the application "Blogs" really didn't work well on my site because my members look for topics only in the forums. I don't really see my members looking through an Articles database to post comments, thus my need for this app was to highlight the best of the topic posts on a proposed new front page to the site. The new front page is mainly to attract new members to the site. Maybe the simplest feature to add for those who choose to only promote the topic post is to choose whether or not to allow comments. -- thus a statement as I wrote above to follow the discussion to the original topic can be manually added as needed.

CheersnGears Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I was really hoping it would just duplicate the process from 3.4. I promote the post to an article and all of the other posts become comments, the thread remains because that is where my comments are stored for all articles. The Old Man 1 Link to comment

I like this idea as well Link to comment

I respect that, it's how some of my other sites work but without Pages, however for my needs on this particular community I'm then forced to keep Pages and Forums, whereas I just want to buy and run the mod once, use it to move topics into articles with any existing topic replies then becoming comments on the article, then I can dispose of Forums permanently. The author should stay the same and tags moved over too once the mod allows it. Link to comment
-FP Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) At this rate I'm just gonna wait for IPS to re-introduce the feature... lol. @The Old Man what you are requesting... to me it feels a bit out of the scope, right now the topic comments are not really "copied" to the article, they show up in the article because of the IPS Pages setting "store comments in forum topic". Maybe it would be easier to develop a script to move your topics with all the messages into articles for real. But that's up to Adriano. Edited June 25, 2016 by -FP The Old Man 1 Link to comment
The Old Man Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Thanks FP, yeah that's what IPS suggested actually. I think this mod, useful as it is, is probably more than I need. Link to comment

This is what I'd like to avoid. A good point, I guess I've never had this issue so don't know. What happens if you lock the article so you can't actually comment in the article hence forcing the comment to be posted in the topic thread? Link to comment
NoGi Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 @Adriano Faria what ended up happening? Are we able to get the option to either use the original article or create new one? At the very least, any chance of an update to fix the tags not promoting with the article issue? Link to comment
ResPecT My Authoritah Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 hey so if somnody posts in the topic it shows up in the article as a comment correct? Link to comment

Basically, he replaces part of a specific template for the content of his plugin, which kills any other to work there. Edited July 25, 2016 by Adriano Faria Vanucci 1 Link to comment
