Introduction
Adds the ability to copy a single or multiple topics.

Note: The copying functions contain some very memory intensive mysql queries, and there are a considerable number of them.
The more topics and/or the more posts in the topic, the more queries will be used.


Features
Adds Copy Topic permission for membergroups
Copy a single topic from the Topic Display
Copy a single or multiple topics from the Message Index
Copies the entire topic
    Updates users postcount/post based membergroups accordingly
    Updates all necessary stats
    Copies Calendar/events tied to the topic
    Copies Entire polls
    Copies Attachments
        less than 1MB in size only
        Providing you haven't exceed any Maximum Attachments directory size
        SMF 2.0 version works with 2.0 feature of multiple attachment folders


Installation
Any previous versions of this mod MUST be uninstalled BEFORE installing this version.

Simply install the package to install on the SMF Default Core Theme ONLY.

Manual edits will be required for ALL themes (other than SMF Default Core Theme) which have a custom MessageIndex.template.php and/or Display.template.php

If your theme has its own versions of the language files Modifications.english.php and/or Modifications.english-utf8.php, OR if your using a language other than those supported (listed above) by the mod then you will need to copy the language strings into each custom version of those files.

You will also need to copy the images into each Theme
Themes/{themename}/images/buttons/admin_copy.gif
Themes/{themename}/images/icons/quick_copy.gif

Hi Karl,
great mod.  Thanks.
What I would like to have is an option to have a link in the copied topic of the original one.
I'm using this mod to create a board that I've been looking for:  Have a "best topic of the week".  So I installed this mod but did not give permission to copy but me.  Then I copy one topic (to this board) that I will delete every week replacing it by a new one.  But members cannot reply in this copied topic, only in the original.  So it is why I'm asking for this link.
