How do I move a post while Reading it?

Post by Jeffstev »

I must be missing something. If I’m reading a post in a particular forum and I want to move it to a different forum, not into another topic, there has to be a simple way without going thru the painful process of the MCP.

Let me rephrase. How do I add the quicklinks for moderators to the top of the page? There must be a way...scrolling to the bottom of a long thread is brutal on anything other than a computer (iPhone, iPad, etc)

Before you can move a single post to another forum, you have to split it from its existing topic. Whether it is necessary to scroll to get to the quick tools depends on how far down the page the post you are reading is, and also on how one has chosen to order the posts within a topic, which is an individual setting. So what you may want is another set of Quick tools at the top of the page, which you would do by duplicating this code in viewtopic_body.html at an appropriate place at the top of that template. I have not tested this, so you may need to play with it a little:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF .quickmod -->
	<div class="quickmod dropdown-container dropdown-container-left dropdown-up dropdown-{S_CONTENT_FLOW_END} dropdown-button-control" id="quickmod">
		<span title="{L_QUICK_MOD}" class="button button-secondary dropdown-trigger dropdown-select">
			<i class="icon fa-gavel fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">{L_QUICK_MOD}</span>
			<span class="caret"><i class="icon fa-sort-down fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
		</span>
		<div class="dropdown">
				<div class="pointer"><div class="pointer-inner"></div></div>
				<ul class="dropdown-contents">
				<!-- BEGIN quickmod -->
					<!-- DEFINE $QUICKMOD_AJAX = (quickmod.VALUE in ['lock', 'unlock', 'delete_topic', 'restore_topic', 'make_normal', 'make_sticky', 'make_announce', 'make_global']) -->
					<li><a href="{quickmod.LINK}"<!-- IF $QUICKMOD_AJAX --> data-ajax="true" data-refresh="true"<!-- ENDIF -->>{quickmod.TITLE}</a></li>
				<!-- END quickmod -->

Of course it was. You asked how to move a post. You do it with the tools at the bottom of the page as shown in your other almost identical topic.

That's an entirely different question.

Exactly what I was looking for. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful and helpful response.
