Copy a forum and topics living topics in old forum.

[pequeno]

Hello, I want to create a new forum, and move all topics from an existing forum, but not delete topics from the old forum, is it possible? I want to leave a copy of the existing forum with all its messages.

Example:

Forum A (existing) - Leave forum and topics after coping them to other forum.

Forum B (new) - > Copy topics from Forum A.

Not a feature. I have this but it isn’t made in a batch; it’s a per topic feature:

Thank you @Adriano Faria

I need to copy more than 5000 topics

Could you clarify what you mean by "Forum A" and "Forum B" - are they:

1. Two different forums on the same site (e.g.http://domain.com/forums/forum/1-foruma & http://domain.com/forums/forum/2-forumb)
2. or two separate sites (e.g. http://domaina.com/forums/forum/1-foruma & http://domainb.com/forums/forum/1-foruma)

He’s talking about forums (a collection of topics); not boards (a collection of forums, like IPS Community).

And I'm clarifying it to avoid the assumption - some people still use 'forum' to mean 'board', and I'm simply doing this to ensure there is no confusion in this area.

True, Two forums in same site.

Is it possible to do it running a SQL query?

No.

Drop a PM. I can do it as a custom for you.
