Copy Topics

[JRMBelgium]

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. Since its not in a public area, it shouldn't be any issue for you.

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)

[JRMBelgium]

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.

[karlbenson]

I've responded to your pm.

I'll speak to you tomorrow.

Bedtime for me

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

Code Select Expand

'copy' => array(true, 'topic', 'moderate', 'moderate'),
REPLACE

Code Select Expand

'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?

[karlbenson]

Did you do the edits to Mystic Jade?

[Eliana Tamerin]

MysticJade only has an index.template.php file.

[Pspuser007]

MysticJade only has an index.template.php file.

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

[karlbenson]

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.

[Pspuser007]

Ok i fixed it!!:)

[jossanaijr]

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

[karlbenson]

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)

[jossanaijr]

OK, Karl,
thanks.

[ltdeta]

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"?

[karlbenson]

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?

[karlbenson]

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.

[allymcbeal]

Thank you, now it works!

[karlbenson]

Thx for letting me know.
