This is a weird one.
So I can generally move topics from one forum to another without issue.
However, there are a couple of forums where if I click on “move this topic” through the toolset, nothing happens. I just click, and that’s it. There is simply no response.
This function works perfectly on other parts of the forum. I have no idea what could be causing this.
yes… special characters in the title… we just found this last week… we have a fix in place for the next version.. I could post it here if you like…
It is a small edit to one file. Which is /simple-press/forum/content/ahah/sp-ahah-admintoollinks.php
About half a dozen or so lines from the very bottom of that file you will find a block of code that starts:
if (sp_get_auth('move_topics', $forum['forum_id']))
and a few lines below a line that starts with defining a variable called $site. That that line of code for this:
$site = SFHOMEURL.'index.php?sp_ahah=admintools&sfnonce='.wp_create_nonce('forum-ahah').'&action=move-topic&topicid='.$topic['topic_id'].'&forumid='.$forum['forum_id'];
if you look carefully you will find it is actually identical except that a small part on the end of the line has been removed. That should solve it…
Thank you
Can you please tell me what “small part” you are referring to? Can you please tell me the exact text that I need to delete?
I need very specific information as I am a huge beginner.
??? he did…. this part
.’&topicname=’.$topic[‘topic_name’]
but just replace the current line of code with the one he gave you…
I am trying to click on that lilltle balloon with the + sign on it, but nothing happens, because I want to move this topic to an other group. Is this the same problem like described in this topic.
I have changed it like YS showed, but I still can’t move the whole forum.
That is just a display icon. It has no function. The tools icon/link should show up when you have the mouse hovering in a topic or post row.
But you say you want to move a whole forum? You don’t do that in the front end. You do that in the Manage Groups and Forums admin panel.
