Support Forum

Thanks again for your quick reply.

Exactly my thoughts because I also realized that sort order after moving might look odd in the posts display. But I thnk for my admins it is more important to have a post at right topic rather than having this issue.

I will update wp_sfposts and wp_sftopics (post_count field needs to be updated and post_id field I believe represents the very last post_id within a topic - so that might also need to be updated depending upon the post selected to move).

Thanks.

You mean 2 build functions in sf-database.php right?

Thanks that's what I thought. I will copy sf_move_post() function to a new one and make my changes there. That way I can piggyback most of its calls.

Many thanks for your help. You guys are awesome.

Hi SPF Dev Team,

I didn't get much time after posting my previous post but today I got little bit of time to work on it. And I am happy to report that it went very smoothly. My Forum now has this feature of mve post to an existing topic working like a charm. Here is the UI :

1. Admins will now see a new option in Edit Tools (shown as wrench icon

   on top of every post to Admins) called "Move This Post to a Topic".

2. Once you click on this menu option a small pop-up will open with a

   drop-down list of all the forums.

3. Select the destination forum and click"Next>"
4. A new small pop-up will open with a drop-down list of all the

   existing topics within your chosen forum in previous

   step.

5. If you selected wrong forum in step 3 you can always go back by

   clicking: "<Back"

    

6. Select the destination topic where you want this post to move and

   click: "Move Poist"

    

7. A confirmation (or failure if any) message will come up on top of

   the page with the yellow background and whola your post has moved.

PS: Earlier option has been renamed appropriately as "Move This Post

to a New Topic"

Thanks for all the help guys to point me to the right direction to build this feature.

cheers.

Yes I do re-index it as suggested by you in previous posts. And yes I do realize that "sort by post it" syndrome but for us it was much more critical to have a post in right topic than a few incorrect post order display issues here & there.

Thanks.
