How to set, "Post a redirection topic" unchecked as default when moving a topic?

[ApplianceJunk]

When I go to move a topic the box is already check for, "Post a redirection topic."

How can I fix it so the box is unchecked as default?

Thanks,

I'd edit MoveTopic.template.php to comment out the default for the checkbox

Code (Find) Select Expand

<label for="postRedirect"><input type="checkbox" name="postRedirect" id="postRedirect" ',
$context['is_approved'] ? 'checked="checked"' : '', ' onclick="', $context['is_approved'] ? '' : 'if (this.checked && !confirm(\'' . $txt['move_topic_unapproved_js'] . '\')) return false; ', 'document.getElementById(\'reasonArea\').style.display = this.checked ? \'block\' : \'none\';" class="input_check" /> ', $txt['moveTopic1'], '.</label>

Code (Replace With) Select Expand

<label for="postRedirect"><input type="checkbox" name="postRedirect" id="postRedirect" ',
/* $context['is_approved'] ? 'checked="checked"' : '', */ ' onclick="', $context['is_approved'] ? '' : 'if (this.checked && !confirm(\'' . $txt['move_topic_unapproved_js'] . '\')) return false; ', 'document.getElementById(\'reasonArea\').style.display = this.checked ? \'block\' : \'none\';" class="input_check" /> ', $txt['moveTopic1'], '.</label>


It might still leave the redirection box there but the default tick should disappear

That did the trick, thanks!

Is there any way to do this without editing code? I would like to do away with the redirection option completely if possible.

There's no way to do that without editing code.

Thanks for the quick response.

That makes me a sad panda.


Hopefully this feature will be incorporated in a mod or a future release of SMF.
