Extension Description: Merge child forums from the ACP in 3.2/3.2
Extension Version: 1.0.0
Requirements:
- phpBB 3.2+/3.3+
- PHP 7.1.3+
Github repository: https://github.com/toxyy/acpmergechildforums
Languages: en
Features:
- Adds a form with a forumbox while editing a forum under
Forum settings
, any selected forums will be deleted. Multiple can be selected. Be careful that when selecting an extremely large amount, it can be slow. Keep that in mind when using the "All forums" button.
Note: This extension uses events from at latest 3.1.2. There should be no compatibility issues phpBB version wise whatsoever, though I have only tested this on phpBB 3.3.7 and php 8.1 to be fair.
You can install this on the latest release of phpBB 3.2 by following the steps below:
- Files already in folders
toxyy/acpmergechildforums
in the zip, no need to make any folders - Download and unpack the repository into
ext
- Enable
ACP Merge Child Forums
in the ACP atCustomise -> Manage extensions
- Disable
ACP Merge Child Forums
in the ACP atCustomise -> Extension Management -> Extensions
- To permanently uninstall, click
Delete Data
, optionally delete the/ext/toxyy/acpmergechildforums
directory.

Why:
Have you ever found yourself needing to delete a lot of subforums, but don't want to do them one by one?
Let's just say, the time it took to write this extension is much, much smaller than the time it'd take to fix this forum manually.
