nice work
good

great mod Karl

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.

I considered having that option.

However for SEO reasons I decided not to include the functionality

great as always karl ! bravo !

Ok, thanks.

hello :)

thnx 4 mod, tchau :D

I recall asking for a mod like this earlier, so this is really great news!

Maybe I'll make a translation into Norwegian, German and Spanish for it when I get home.

Thanks for a great mod!

Again, Karl, kudos for making an innovative and ingenious mod. I don't have a need for the functionality at the moment, but I do like the concept. Good job.

Thanks Eliana.

P.S don't look at the code unless you want a headache. ;)

Something like 90% is made up of queries

It's great to see this feature on SMF.  Thanks Karlbenson :)

Now you made me look at the code. Wow, that's a headache. I don't think I've seen that many queries in a file before.

Thanks for this

This is great, I asked for something like this earlier.  In my case, I would want the +1MB attachments to go with the copy.  Is there any way to make it an option to specify the size limit, or disable the 1MB limit?

Thanks!!!

The limit is 1mb.  I would not even recommend copying 1mb files.  This is because your servers can't usually handle it.

In fact, based on some testing I've done since submiting the mod and another user has sent me.
I may need to reduce the amount.
Possibly making it less than 1mb TOTAL for attachments in all the topics your copying.

So if your copying 5xtopics at once, the max size attachments that could be copied is 1mb.

Have a strange thing, when testing install in package manager it's all ok but test failed on english-utf-8, which btw I don't have any .
It says
9.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php     Test failed
So I don't have any UTF8 files!?
Other files I don't have it just skips like:
11.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english_british-utf8.php     Skipping file

I have more mods, not of you btw, which has same or similar test failed on utf8:

referals mod, languagecompare and topicsfilter.


Should I just install and ignore that utf8?
Or place the utf8-files I need for your mods in forum?
==========================================
added: checked files in forum, although I don't have any utf8 languages I seem to have that Modifications.english-utf8.php,
will have to add that manually I assume.

It maybe that another mod has created a BLANK modifications.english-utf8.php
Open Themes/default/languages/Modification.english-utf8.php
If its blank, then delete it.

Would it be possible to write the mod so that instead of actually copying the file, it just references the existing file?  There would be a problem if the file in the original post was deleted, but maybe there can be a check put in and it would preserve the file if there was a link to it... just a thought.

It isn't blank, has 2 lines in it, also there's the same file with a ~that has 1 line in it.

Possibly with already 83 mods, I've strechted my luck sofar beiing able to install thru
package manager, so have to do it thru the package parser for the rest i want to install.

Got lucky sofar.

Could it be written to, instead of duplicate the attachment, simply reference the existing attachment?  Some sort of error logic would have to be written to prevent the deletion of the file by deleting the original thread, but other than that I don't see why this approach wouldn't work... Thoughts?

Cheers.

@ceewee
I'll make it easy for you.
Open Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php
Copy everything into (and replace whatever is inside)
Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php

@forumguy 
I looked into that, however SMF's attachment system ties Attachments to messages.
It would be a huge undertaking to re-write Attachments for it.  Far too much work for the benefit.
When working on the mod I was going to leave out attachments completely due to potentially trying to copy large files.
After discussion with some smf'ers they convinced me to support 99% of attachments which are less than 1mb and would copy easily.

Ideally ForumGuy I think people who use alot of attachments need to lobby/request SMF improve the attachment system to allow attachments to be attached to different messages and such.

Overall I would say I don't plan to add much functionality to this mod.
Also because its 98% queries I'm going to have some fun trying to update this for 2.0 and the new querying method.

Okie dokie, thanks for listening to my thoughts and thanks for creating a MUCH NEEDED mod. :)

When checking it in package parser I found that it missed both <?php and ?>
That would cause it to : test failed.
Have several other mods with same error, will install them to see if that solves that problem.

Your Modifications.english-utf8.php was probably created in error.

You will probably keep getting the error if smf can't find a ?> in the file.

Yes, corrected that and 5 mods with that utf8 error now install without problems, one mod..-german had same problem. Will keep that in mind..have now 92 mods, up to 100... :-)

Your like me then.

My forum has over 100 mods installed.

Quick question, is there any easy way to make the copy button (or hyperlinked text) show up in other themes?

You need to manually edit the theme onto other themes.

Using an SMF Package Parser can help

Ok, cool.  Thanks for the tip!

 Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

help!!

Your issue with with Modifications.english-utf8.php

Open
./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php

Copy ALL the strings FROM ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php into the utf8 file.

this is my /public_html/forum/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php


$txt['socialbookmarks'] = 'Social Bookmarks';
$txt['attachment'] = ' [ Attachment ] ';
$txt['attachment_nopermission'] = ' [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] ';
$txt['attachment_invalid'] = ' [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] ';
$txt['attachment_disabled'] = ' [ Attachments Disabled ] ';
$txt['attachment_insert'] = 'Insert Attachment';

is this what you need to debug my error message? :D

No, he wants you to open your Modifications.english.php and copy everything there into Modifications.english-utf8.php.

COOL man!!! it works!!! thanks! :D

I'd just like to add a huge "thanks" to you, for coding this mod !

1.1 - 2nd March 2008
o Converted mod to work for SMF 2.0 beta 2 (and above) (won't work for earlier 2.0 versions)
o 2.0 version takes account of SMF 2.0 multiple attachment folders
o Added German/German-utf8 language strings (Thanks to ltdeta)
o Added Turkish/Turkish-utf8 language strings (Thanks to CiOooo)
o Fixed: Copying multiple topics to copy in the exact same order
o Fixed: Removed LIMIT 1 from UPDATE clauses since sqlite doesn't support them

First of all this is a great job for me
I installed this mod and it is good working

But;

Although I put images to the right folder I cant see icons ?



I am using SMF 1.1.2  and DEFAULT THEME

Any idea ?

Is there anyone to answer my question?

regards

Sorry I'm not ignoring you.
Just trying to fix something else first.

Check that both images exist at the following locations.
http://{domain and directory to smf}/Themes/default/images/buttons/admin_copy.gif
http://{domain and directory to smf}/Themes/default/images/icons/quick_copy.gif

It would appear they are missing, thats why its showing the alternative/title text instead.

hello Karl

I just installed your mod with no errors and for my first attempt I tried to copy two topics at once and  I got this error:

Duplicate entry '225-5337' for key 1
File: /home/perplexed/public_html/forum/Sources/CopyTopic.php
Line: 227


I was trying to copy two topics at once and I just noticed that it has actually copied one of the topics but when I got the error

Duplicate entry '225-5337' for key 1
File: /home/perplexed/public_html/forum/Sources/CopyTopic.php
Line: 227

it said beneath it to click back, like it hadnt done it, but it has copied one of them, so how do I fix the error and get it to copy more than one topic at once?

Also I just noticed that in the one topic it did copy, it didnt copy the attachments in the topic.  There were only two word docs attached at less than 30kb each

Then I tried to copy the second topic again (the one it didnt copy the first time) and I get the same error, different entry key and it didnt copy it at all  ???

Thanks


edited to add:

when I look at the latest posts, it stops and only displays 2 posts though there are 10 pages of posts.  So I ran forum maintenance and got all 10 pages of posts back, and the missing copied topic also appeared.  Looks like it was preventing the 10 pages of recent posts to be displayed.

Something isnt right :(

@perplexed

I had similar errors on one of my test boards. But it was due to pre-existing errors in my database.

Via Maintenance
Click Find and repair any errors.
Then Recount all forum totals and statistics.
Then Click Find and repair any errors again.

Overall the mod has been heavily tested (to the point of copying 500,000 posts in one go with attachments on each).

yeah I did all this

Via Maintenance
Click Find and repair any errors.
Then Recount all forum totals and statistics.
Then Click Find and repair any errors again.

after the first error message, and it seemed to allow the copied topic to display, but not the second one.  Then I tried to copy the second topic again, and it only appeared after I ran the forum maintenance again.  So I am I going to have to run forum maintenance every time I copy a topic? 

It did say something about the database needing upgrading or something in the error message, but the database is up to date


It is also not copying the attachments

No, you shouldn't have to do it more than once.

What mods do you have installed?
- Especially any that alter attachments.

I have about 50 mods installed and none that alter attachments

Please can you copy and paste the list of mods installed.

Are you getting any other errors in your error logs.

no other errors in the log, just this one twice, one for each time I tried to copy a topic:

ok, this is a bug I think.

Open Sources/CopyTopics.php

Lines 214-230

unset($insert,$select);

Then do the maintenance Links again.

Then try to copy topics again.

:D, ok did all that and tested it again and this time no error AND it also kept the attachment, no errors in the log either

thanks Karl!

Very cool

I will release v1.2 in a moment which removes this part.
I don't know why its causing an error, but it isn't needed anyway.

All it does is add this topic into existing cached searches for matching keywords.

hmmm how odd.  do I need to upgrade then or just keep the one I have now it's been amended?

Nah, you'll be fine. No need to upgrade.
I'm just going to comment the code out for now anyway.

Just packaging it up actually.  Will be posted in a few...

1.2 - 15th March 2008
o Removed/disabled copying of 'cached search entries' as causing duplicate key issues

Only a minor tweak was required to get the 2.0 Beta 2 version to work on Beta 3.

1.3 - 21st March 2008
o Fixed to make install for SMF 2.0 Beta 3 Public

Enjoy!

Yes thank you

You need to enable Quick Moderation.

Looks as though you can't use the check boxes to copy a topic to the same forum though.

Unfortunately not.
(unless you've got no other forums)

Its because it hijacks the move topic dropdown box for which you can't move to the same forum.

Just copy it to another forum then move it back. Probably the easiest solution.

I know, I was just pointing it out in case it was something the mod author had overlooked.

if it was in the same forum ( assume you mean board) then why would it need to be copied?

Need this fixed pretty soon.

Open your Modifications.english.php file. Find that line, and move it above the ?> tag. Save and upload.

Someone told me that an error on my website is releated to this modification.

Can you please read this thread and confirm that this is the case:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=239274.0

It does look like to me.
Although I'm not sure why I need $txt strings for those as I don't use them :(

I'll look into it.
It could be a 2.x thing?

Edit: Ok, I think its a bug with my permissions.

Edit Sources/ManagePermissions.php
FIND
'copy' => array(true, 'topic', 'moderate', 'moderate'),
REPLACE
'copy' => array(false, 'topic', 'moderate'),

karlbenson, I did what you asked me to do.

I still have these errors on the permissions page:

QuoteNotice: Undefined index: permissionname_copy_own in /mounted-storage/home95c/sub006/sc26341-IINL/www/FlemishArmySite/Trackmania/Sources/ManagePermissions.php on line 1642

The bottom three are smf 2.x errors.  Not related to my mod - but mods generally.
That should be fixed for 2.x.

As for the actual error.
Try clearing out your SMF Cache
Admin > Forum Maintenance >
Empty Cache.

if its still not fixed. I'll have to setup a test install and debug it properly. Although at 2.30am in the morning, that would probably have to wait until tomorrow.

If you set the first value of the array to true then it has split permissions for own and any. You need two additional text strings ending with _own and _any. Also when checking permissions you need to append _any and _own.

For example when I modified the tagging mod to use the split permissions I had

$txt['permissionname_tags_add'] = 'Add tags to topics';
$txt['permissionhelp_tags_add'] = 'Users are allowed to add tags to topics';
$txt['permissionname_tags_add_own'] = 'Own topic';
$txt['permissionname_tags_add_any'] = 'Any topic';

allowedTo('tags_add_any') || ($row['id_member'] == $user_info['id'] && allowedTo('tags_add_own')

Otherwise if it is set to false you don't need those last two text strings and checking permissions would just be

allowedTo('tags_add')

I don't understand what I should do.

This I understand but the empty file cache didn't fix anything.

And like I sad before, the bottom 3 errors were no longer visible after I made the change you suggested to me. You already fixed those :)

Jelle Mees,
Making the change manually will prevent the mod installing automatically. Thats why when you made that change, that piece failed.
RSW686 comment/explanation was directed towards me to fix, rather than you.
If you've made the change like I suggested. Then go and empty your SMF Cache as I directed


Indeed rsw686.
Just spotted that.  My mod wasn't meant to have split permissions. The above change should have fixed that.
Although that page maybe cached, hence my suggestion to reset it.

I'll have to take a look tomorrow and provide a patch/fix.

Indeed, but you might also need to empty the smf cache. I'm not sure if some of it is cached in 2.x.

And I already stated that I did what karlbenson told me to do and that that edit fixed the 3 errors I had at the top of the uninstall page of the Copy Topics mod.
I also already stated that I did empty the SMF cache but that this didn't fix the errors on the permission page.

I am more then happy to give karlbenson my admin login so that he can have a quick look for himself.

As I stated, those 3 other errors are a bug in SMF 2.0 3.1.  It isn't related to this mod.

I'll have to look at this tomorrow as its heading for 2.45am and I'm really tired.

Since its not in a public area, it shouldn't be any issue for you. Its just an unset variable.
I'll PM you tomorrow when I've fixed it and uploaded v1.4

Hey, I am only trying to fix some errors. It's true that these errors don't show up in a public area but I don't want to keep installing stuff on my forum knowing that the forum isn't working properly at the moment. Remember, I thaught I was helping, the guy who helped me fix my website told me to submit a SMF bugreport because he thaught that it was a SMF 2 bug.

I appreciate all bug reports.

I often re-iterate things for clarity if I don't believe I've been clear enough or I don't believe I've been understood.
(and writing things at this time of the morning causes strange results)

Well, I'll do anything to get this fixed, eaven though my forum is working just fine now. It's only for the better that SMF and all the mods are bugfree. :)

I've responded to your pm.

I'll speak to you tomorrow.

Bedtime for me :P

1.4 - 15th May 2008
o Checked works for SMF 1.1.5 and SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1
o Fixed Undefined $txt string Permission bug in 2.x version only (Thanks to Jelle Mees)
o Added Portuguese/Portuguese-utf8 language strings (Thanks to joomlamz)

Uninstall/reinstall to use v1.4

Alternatively you can make the bug fix manually.

Edit Sources/ManagePermissions.php
FIND
'copy' => array(true, 'topic', 'moderate', 'moderate'),
REPLACE
'copy' => array(false, 'topic', 'moderate'),

You may need to empty SMF Cache after making the fix.

Hello karlbenson!

I have installed this mod to my 1.1.5 smf forum.
I am using TP 0.9.8 and using the mystic jade theme.

I used the package manager to install the mod and installed it succesfully.
But the icons of "copy" don't show up in mystic jade.So i thought to upload the 2 .gif files at the images folder of Mystic Jade.When i did that and refreshed the page i saw that not only the admin_copy.gif was not showing up but also the move icon had disappeared and at there place had left the text "Move Topic" and "Copy Topic".

What can i do?

Did you do the edits to Mystic Jade?

MysticJade only has an index.template.php file.

Quote from: Eliana Tamerin on June 11, 2008, 02:05:05 PM
MysticJade only has an index.template.php file.

Yes indeed^^^...
So what can i do??

Can you link me to a topic where this is happening?
And if you could provide me with a test account via pm with permissions to copy + move, I'll take a look.

Ok i fixed it!!:)

One thing I would like to have in this mod is the option to include a custom text field in the bottom and the option to include the original link and to lock the copy automatically.
In this way copied topics could have something like:

This is a copied lock topic.
Comment this topic in the original : link

There was a reason why it wasn't included.
Having duplicated topics is likely to result in negative seo.
Therefore I felt it important NOT to directly link from one to the other to lessen the impact.

And if I'm honest, I don't really intend to add any further functionality to the mod other than keep it working for smf versions. (until such time as someone takes it over from me)

OK, Karl,
thanks.

copying a topic will produce 2 topics with status "new" (the new and old one)

is it possible only make the new topic marked as "new"?

There isn't at the moment.

Although to be perfectly honest. Both being marked 'new/updated' would probably be intended functionality.

Hi, I used this mod but now it give me this error

Duplicate entry '0-23' for key 2
File: /var/www/vhost/allymcbeal.it/home/html/smf1/Sources/CopyTopic.php
Line: 150

What happen? :)

Hey.  The error has occured because it appears theres an error in one of your tables.

goto admin > forum mainenance.

Click Fix forum errors
Once thats finished
Click Recalculate forum stats.

IIRC that should fix it and you should be able to copy topics from then on.

Thank you, now it works! :)

:)

Thx for letting me know.

Installed without errors...  but when trying to copy a topic, I am getting....

Unknown column 'b.ID_BOARD' in 'where clause'
File: /users/Sources/CopyTopic.php
Line: 624

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.5, while your database is at version 1.1 RC2. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

Do I NEED to upgrade the database?

EDIT:  upon further testing, It doesn't happen when I click on the text "Copy Topic" at the bottom of the thread. (WOOHOO!!!) 

It happened when I checked the check box on the quick mod button on the message index page, then selected the pull down menu "Copy Topic".

digit, what version of smf are you using?

1.1.5

thx.
I think I see it.

When I get a moment, I'll try to post a fixed version.

How to copy one topic to multiple boards by just doing the steps once..??? possible...?? Please let me know...

Thanks.

That is not currently a feature. You would have to repeat the steps to copy to multiple boards.

Alright, Thanks for the information.

I installed this and it is working. What edit do I need to do for it to work in my custom theme? I tried the package parser link in the beginning of this thread to no avail. I am using v1.1.5. I assume I have to edit my display.template.php. Can you please tell me what edits I need to do?

Manual Instructions.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1074;attach=55952;smf_version=1.1.5

Hi there, I would love this modification but I am getting the following when I am trying to install via the Package Manager. I have to say that I have no idea how to Manually Install, I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to this, I would need heaps of easy baby steps and I know no one here has the time, so I am not asking for that.

I am using SMF 1.1.5 Babylon Theme - this is what happens when I try and install:

'Error in Package Installation

At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.'

I certainly didn't continue :) Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

The only solution would be to manually install.

The edits you will have to perform are available via the mod-site.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1074;attach=55952;smf_version=1.1.5

Thanks karlbenson, I will have a look tonight :)

Any plans to make this compatible with 1.1.6

this should work on any 1.1.x version

I noticed that only administrators can copy topic  :o

Does someone know, how to solve/change this so that moderators can also make use of this feature ?

Hehe I solve this issue in the ACP for user and group permissions  :D

Sorry  :P :D

Hi, I have changed theme and now I can't see the write "copy topic" I think because my new template use the image like button.
The first is the image with default theme and English language (whit Italian language I can't see the copy choice)
The secondo is the new theme and Italian language (also whit englis language I can't see the copy choice).

How can I do to fix it?

The secondo is the new theme and Italian language (also whit englis language I can't see the copy choice).

How can I do to fix it?

Hi!

Your problem is, when you selected the Italian language, then te mod isn't italian lang. If you like italian lang, then you make that.
Unzip the copytopic mod.
Open with text editor the "install-1.1.x.xml" file, when you have 1.1.x SMF forum, or "install-2.x.xml" file when you have 2.x Forum.
Search the "  <file name="$languagedir/Modifications.english.php" >  "
and  exchange it for this:
"  <file name="$languagedir/Modifications.italian.php" >  "
or
"  <file name="$languagedir/Modifications.italian-utf8.php" >  "
when you using italian UTF-8 lang.


now translate under it the 'Copy to', 'Copy selected to', 'Copy Topic', etc. onto Italian.

When you have done, make zip, and uninstall the old mod, and install the new mod.

Installed in 1.1.8 and worked perfectly. Thanks very much.

Button image attached for anyone using buttons in their forum.

It' s only taken several months, but I have finally been
able  to instal this on 1.1.8 without any problems.

Only thing I have noticed is it doesn't update the post
count or other stats.

Happy to live with that, unless someone knows a easy,
idiot proof way of adjusting this :)

I have read all this thread, and have done the Forum
Maintenance that has been mentioned.

I have did it but it doen't works, because I can't see the button, also if I change language, and set English, there is always the problem, only if I set a default theme then I can see the option.

New Update

6/12/09 - v1.5
o Updated compatibility for 1.1.9 and 2.0 RC1-1

I thought this was suppose to work with the core theme without editing. Not with my new install of 2.0 RC1-1 it doesn't....

Are you getting any errors? Sometimes, mods can conflict with one another, thus preventing some mods from installing.

You may have to make manual edits to install this mod.

Hi, thank for responding. Yes, a few of the tests failed for 'MessageIndex.template.php': Execute Modification, Add After, and Replace.

Also, it's saying Hungarian files can't be found, but they're not needed, right?

So I'm assuming that I have to edit 'MessageIndex.template.php'...

Try the new update. There were a frew botched files on install because the package didnt pack up quite right.

I just tried it, JBlaze, and I'm getting the exact same errors. :(

Works great! Thanks!! needed something like this!!

I am using it very successfully, just wish it increased the post count as well  :o

Still it saves heaps of time, :)

Thank you.

When you say "exact same errors", do you mean that you are getting the error on install still? If so, go to the mods page, parse the manual install instructions and make the manual edits. It just means that some other mod is interfering with the find/replace of the install.

No problem :)

Hi, yes, by the same errors, I meant the same errors I listed a couple a few posts up - error messages on install for:

5.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php     Test failed
3.     Add After     ./Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php
4.     Replace     ./Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php     Test failed

I had looked at the manual instructions. After looking at my core theme's 'MessageIndex.template.php' and not finding the first two or three code lines it says to look for, I gave up. And the default theme I use doesn't even have a 'MessageIndex.template.php'

Think I'll just try again next next version. :)

I use this exact same theme. No luck.
Couldn't say why.

There seems to be two tab characters amiss in the mod that are causing the problem.

I have attached the mod (changed for the two tabs) that works on my version of 2.0.

Hope this helps.

is there any way to change this so that when you copy a thread it changes the new one to show being started from the person that copied it?

is a RC2-mod coming soon?

Updated for RC2 compatibility!

I installed this mod, and when I tried to copy some topics to a new board I recently created, it didn't show anything.

Then I create a new topic on this target board, then the topic copied showed up.

Is it a bug?

Hello,

Yeah about that. Installed this 2 days ago without a problem.
Now want to un-install all mods (including this one) and themes due to problems on forum. :-[

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently.

3.     Execute Modification     ./Sources/Display.php                 Test failed
1.     Replace                         ./Sources/Display.php                 Test failed

Solution?

Thanks in advance.

You have to uninstall mods in reverse order that you have them installed.

Okay, I can agree with that.  :)

I did not keep track of what order they were installed 2 days ago.  :-[
I have a back up from before I even started.  :)

Should I scrub out the forum (delete the folder) then completely install the SMF 2.0RC3?   ???

Then install a couple Themes that are upgraded for SMF 2.0RC3.  ;)

Then begin adding mods (while keeping track of the order the are installed)?

Sincerely, O:)

Yes I would just install RC3 upgrade that would be the best bet

Just to be clear,

I should delete the forum folder on my host, and do a FRESH install?
(if I do this I will not post requests on how to un-install other mods)

OR

is it like MS Windows ie,

Simply run the RC3 UPGRADE again ^OVER the current data in the forum folder

I await your wisdom ( couse I have no idea  :P , never have had to use my weekly back ups)

Sincerely,
Cloud

Just upload the upgrade files to root directory of your forum then run upgrade.php

Thank you, my problem is SOLVED = by upgrading again,

Would really love to have this on RC4 - any chance?

Can you please update this mod for SMF 2.0 RC4  :)

Any chance of an update for RC-4?  This is one of the most useful mods in the history of mods.   Will definitely donate if I know this is still a live mod.

Yes, any chance this could be updated to RC4 please.  It's exactly what I need (I think).  I want to copy topics from one category in my forum to another so that the topic resides in two places.  Unless there is some sort of alias topic mod that would just place a link in one category linking to the real thread topic.

Updated for SMF 2.0 RC4 and SMF 2.0 RC5

A question to you though.

It seems that the copied topic breaks image attachments.  They don't show up but for the missing image icon in the browser (I.E. the red X).  Is there a way of fixing this so that the images appear in both copies?

I don't know I did not develop the mod originally would need to look at the code.

Ok, don't bother.  I thought it might only alias a topic from one category into another but I see that it physically makes a copy of it, thus having two topics identical until people start to post in them, which would just make everything really confusing.

Still, it will be useful for when I want to just copy our sites rules thread into all the other categories, so not wasted.

Thanks,

If u add rename topic option while copying then it will be great and also there wouldn't be much to concern abt seo.

If you're copying a topic, you're implicitly duplicating content - that alone hurts SEO.

Not if it's to a hidden board, naturally. But how often does that happen in practice?

There's a small typo in the package.

Locate RC2\installrc4.xml within the package and change

$$txt['quick_mod_copy']
to
$txt['quick_mod_copy']

Or edit MessageIndex.template.php, locate the above string then edit out the superfluous "$" sign.

Did anyone fix the attachments not coming over to the copied topic? (v2.0.1)

No updates were made not aware of that problem.

Thanks for this Mod.

Hi!

Im new here, so Hello! :)

I just found a way to fix Copy Topics at SMF 2.0.2

Don't know if I am allowed to do that, but since the mod creator didnt show up...
Download the attached CopyTopic.php and replace at Source folder of your smf install.

This was not the correct way of fixing, but for me was the easiest one. Hope it helps someone.

Thanks for the translation!

i installed this on my SMF 2.0.3
this is a fresh installation no other hack mods etc installed

it shows a link to copy post on each post but it do not shows anything to copy multiple topics

also is it posible if i want to copy posts into a text file instead of another board ?

Hello everyone,

I really love this mod and it helps me out alot for what I need it for.  Only downfall that I have to copy to a different board but that's minor.

A few things:

1) There is no image when using the quick mod icons.  I am using the Curve Multi color theme as my default theme and yes I have read through all the previous posts and made sure that the 2 images were in that themes image files, but still does not work. 

2) When using the quick mod icons inside the boards, when you click on it, nothing happens and it takes me to my board index.  Subsequently the topic wasn't copied.

3) Same thing happens as #2 when inside a topic thread and you click the "Copy Topic" button at the very bottom of the thread.  When clicked it will take me to my board index and nothing is copied.

4) For the quick moderation inside the boards, in the dropdown the words "copy to" or whatever it should say is not there and is blank, but the blank spot is the copy function.  See below pics:

Is there a way to make the words show up in the dropdown and the image to show up if using the quick mod icons instead of checkboxes?  What/where do I need to update or alter the codes to make all the above work properly?


Thanks in advance for your help.

like Virgo4, i also have in the dropdown the words "copy to" or whatever it should say is not there and is blank, but the blank spot is the copy function.

the function works, though.

is there a fix for this please ?

Update
1.7
!Fixed text copy topics when using checkbox moderation

do we need to uninstall the old version first ?

EDIT:, i did anyway and the button is now visible !

thank you.

Yes glad to help.

Will this mod permit duplicating individual posts, instead of a whole topic?

I do a lot of organizing of information on my forum, so when a user makes a post that contains unrelated information, I want to be able to make another copy of their post, so each one can be split, merged, moved, etc in a way that makes sense. For example, if a user makes a post replying to a mention of red apples, and then also replies to a mention of red firetrucks, I want to be able to duplicate his post so I can organize one of them under "apples", and the other one under "firetrucks".

I don't believe so

Very useful mod, thank you!

I need to organize posts and topics as well as possible, but the culture on most forums discourages multiple posts in favor of packing everything into one post, even if the post contains completely unrelated material that should go in different topics. With this mod, I can "split" a single post by first splitting it into its own topic, copying it with this mod, manually editing each post to contain only one topic, and then merge the old "split" post into the old topic, and then I can put the new post with the new topic wherever it needs to go.

All that works perfectly, thanks!

Maybe eventually you can make this mod able to copy a single post (and split it probably), and that would simplify my process, but it works as it is. See also:

Re: How Does One Copy a Post/Thread? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=377889.msg2612988#msg2612988)

It looks like spoke too soon. SMF seems to be sorting by message number instead of posting date. I thought it was sorting by posting date FIRST, then if they're the same, then sort by message number SECOND. In fact, it ONLY sorts by message number. So, duplicating a post to put it in another topic does not work because the sequential order will be wrong. It will actually appear as a new message in the topic, with an old date. Is there any way to fix this, perhaps by somehow gaining control over the message numbers, or maybe by arbitrarily assigning new message numbers to a new topic to prevent conflicts and ordering problems?

Also, using the copy feature on the topic view gives a severely mangled list of subforums (boards) to duplicate it to. I wasn't able to use that feature due to the mangled list, but it seems to work correctly from the topic list view.

this is an old mod that i could really use, but we're running the curve theme, not the core.  bummer. 

Should still work on SMF 2.0.x what error do you get

running 2.0.15, just install test failures ... plus, i'm using the curve theme and have lots of mods already installed.

If you are using the curve theme you can ignore the install errors on the core theme doesn't impact you at all

ok, great - i'll test it out!  thank you!!!

the mod installs ok, i can see the "copy topics" button at the bottom of a thread i'd like copy to another board, but when clicked on it takes me back to the forum main page with the board listing ... ?

I would upload the mod to https://www.smfhacks.com/smf-package-parser.html and make sure all the edits have been applied to your SMF files.

not a clue what i'm doing with the parser and this is the results ...

Just posted a new update as a bug fix for that issue.

Try installing that version.

uninstalled 1.7, deleted 1.7, installed 1.7.1 - same error occurs.

what is your smf versions

2.0.15

I tested on my test site with the latest version and seems to install and function ok.

Recheck you have all the edits done with the package parser page.

ok, that fixed it.  thanx.

well, sorta.  only thing is that at the 'copy to' page the list of 'to' boards is not in any sorted order ....

@vbgamer45

I installed this mod. I copied the topic to another board and unfortunately the posts in the Recent posts menu block from TinyPortal have disappeared. These posts are also not displayed in the AJAX Recent Topics mod. I returned this topic to the previous board. How can I fix the display of these posts in these places?

The only solution I found was to load a copy of the database.

SMF 2.0.15 - Still can't get this mod to work.  Right now it's not installed, not even on my server, but the "Copy Topic" button still shows on all topics ... 



These are the currently installed packages ...



This is the result for attempting to install in the Default theme ...



I really need this mod to work, please help!

Side note: I haven't checked your previous posts but is there a reason to stay on 2.0.15? You're 4 versions behind in the 2.0.x series and open to many security risks.

Scared of yet again screwing up a mega huge and active forum with a 20 year history.  I've had too many problems with package AND release interactions in the past and no expertise or valued time in solving most of them.  I know SMF is "free" but without a good support system "free" just ain't worth it.  I need to find some paid support to get my forum squared away, mostly with essential mods that probably should have been included with the native SMF.  Either that or I'll need to migrate to paid commercial forum software, which in itself won't be a fun project.  It's like being between a rock and a hard place.

If you click at the icon next to the file name it will tell you where it fails. You can apply the changes manually. Or you can parse the mod and it will list the manual changes as well.

You do not need to be scared at all. All you have to do is make a backup of the database and the files that you edit manually,  and you will have nothing to worry about.

You can post about wanting paid help at the Help Wanted (not for support).

And last, but certainly not least, this:
