Simply Merge Threads

[...pst...]

i wasn't sure about installing this mod on 2.0.8 (not subsilver), works really great! thanks to the author!

[Mr. Teatime]

Is there any way to make the merged threads keep the threads together? At the moment it rearranges all posts into date order, whereas it would make more sense to keep the two threads 'seperate' in the same thread, if that makes sense.

[Ptirhiik]

I understand what you are asking for, but it isn't possible without getting into the way posts are ordered for display, and so get quite far into the way they are sorted elsewhere, which is not the purpose of this mod (that's why it is named "simply"). Another way to proceed would be to duplicate the posts, but there you will ravive them in a quite dirty way for the read/unread flags.

For some reason i'm no longer able to get beyond page 2 when searching for threads to merge with. Very irriritating caused I used this mod a lot and it worked fine.

I'm not sure if this happened when upgrading to 2.0.10 or perhaps when I installed Goto specific page mod which is as follows:

Code: Select all

# 
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
# 
includes/functions.php

# 
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
$page_string = $lang['Goto_page'] . ' ' . $page_string;
# 
#-----[ REPLACE ]----------------------------------------------
# 
	/// --- BEGIN MOD: Goto specific page
	if ( $total_pages > 5 )
	{	
		$select_page = ' <select name="generate_pagination" onChange="if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value != -1){ window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value; }">';
		for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
		{
			$selected = ( $i == $on_page ) ? ' selected="selected"' : ''; // highlight current page by default
			$select_page .= '<option value="' . append_sid($base_url . "&start=" . ( ( $i - 1 ) * $per_page ) )  . '"' . $selected . '>' . $i . '</option>';
		}
		$select_page .= '</select>:';
	}
	else
		$select_page = '';
	/// --- END MOD: Goto specific page
	
	$page_string = $lang['Goto_page'] . $select_page . ' ' . $page_string;

but.. i have a small problem:
i can't see the >< icon
onle the red x of no pic.

I had the same thing and it was the line to add in the subsilver.cfg , I had a typo in there, I hope this will help.

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------------
#
?>
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]-----------------------------------------
#
//-- mod : merge -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//-- add
$images['topic_mod_merge'] = "$current_template_images/topic_merge.gif";
//-- fin mod : merge ---------------------------------------------------

Most people post bugs here only so I just wanted to say.

Thanks for the mod, it works well.

BTW a small trick, if you want to merge a single post to another thread, do a split first and then merge it.

getting this when i load my index.php file:

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/dubsouth/forum/includes/functions.php on line 800

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/dubsouth/forum/includes/functions.php:800) in /home/www/dubsouth/forum/includes/sessions.php on line 305

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/dubsouth/forum/includes/functions.php:800) in /home/www/dubsouth/forum/includes/sessions.php on line 306

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I get a blank page in the admin panel for language management, what did i do wrong?

[dJomp]

This is a great mod, just what I've been looking for.

I've found fixes for two bugs listed above...

Code: Select all

// all in merge.php
// won't update title bug...
FIND:
		// build the update request
		$sql_update = '';
		if ( !empty($topic_title) )
		{
			$sql_title = "topic_title = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $topic_title) . "'";


REPLACE WITH:
		// build the update request
		$sql_update = '';
		if ( !empty($topic_title) )
		{
			$sql_update = "topic_title = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $topic_title) . "'";

// can't get past page 2 bug...
FIND:

		if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['start'])) $start = intval($start);


REPLACE WITH:

		if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['start'])) $start = intval($HTTP_POST_VARS['start']);

Thanks again!

?

can anyone help, i just get a blank blue page.

[dJomp]

I don't get any "language management" page in the acp from installing this mod; maybe it's interfered with another of your mods?

If modding version 2.0.10 does any of the changes to function.php need to be done?

Code: Select all

#
includes/functions.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------------
#
<?php
#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
# This part can already be existing : if so, just skip it
#
//-- mod : language settings -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------------
#
	//
	// Set up style
	//
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]-----------------------------------------
#
# This part can already be existing : if so, just skip it
#
//-- mod : language settings -----------------------------------------------------------------------
//-- add
	include($phpbb_root_path . './includes/lang_extend_mac.' . $phpEx);
//-- fin mod : language settings -------------------------------------------------------------------

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------------
#
		}

		if ( empty($template) )
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]-----------------------------------------
#
# This part can already be existing : if so, just skip it
#
//-- mod : language settings -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

Chipped in to say, excellent mod. Works fine.
On a related topic, What can I do get the "merge" function integrated into the forum permission (from ACP) so that I can assign this permission to moderators ?

thanks

[mr_director]

Does this MOD allow you to split posts from one thread and add them to another? Does any MOD?
