Clone Topic

[Shawnh159]

We would like to be able to clone and move a topic to a different board and leave the original, can this be done?

Look in the mod site.

Did you have a bad experience with that mod before? If so, have you posted in its support topic? Its author and/or co users can help you with whatever issues you were having.

A tip, if I may, whenever you want to use a custom mod that you think it will cause issues or whatever, install it first in a test forum and check it out thoroughly there before you install it at your live forum.

I just dont like messing around with the boards code, if it can be installed via the Package Manager i'm ok doing it.

All mods released here are installed through the Package Managere, said mod included. You do no thave to mess around with the code.

Are you using a custom theme? But you can post at its support topic further, as you can get better support there I think.

[Shawnh159]

i'm using the core theme

I also have a copy topic mod you can give a try https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1074

[Shawnh159]

Thanks you, will copy and move and leave the original alone?

i tried to install it and some of it failed

[Sir Osis of Liver]

You'll have to do the code edits manually.  Core theme is a legacy, it was default theme in 1.1 branch.  Not a lot of forums use it, and some 2.0 mods will not install correctly.

[Shawnh159]

is there a updated core theme or something like it?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Don't think anyone's done anything with Core beyond 2.0 version, it's considered to be pretty much obsolete.  You should be able to do the code edits manually, click the edit icon, it will show you target code and edits.

[Shawnh159]

i don't like playing around there

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Did you try both mods?
