Query string for moving a thread

[sduong]

Hi,

Is there a query string for moving a thread to a forum? Currently, it's hard for me to move a thread to a forum using the dropdown menu because I have a billion forums (it will never load). I only make five of them visible on the main page.

Back to the original question. What is the query string to move a thread to a forum and also leave a redirect from the original forum?

Thx.

If you just want to move, you can run this query:

UPDATE thread SET forumid='x' WHERE threadid='y'

where X is the new forumid, and Y is the threadid of the thread you're moving.

To leave a redirect, you will need phpMyAdmin.
There, navigate to the page where the entries of the thread table are, and click Edit next to the one you'd like to move.
There, change the value of the 'open' field to 10.
Now DON'T click Save, but Insert As A New Row.
Note: This must be done -before- changing the forumid in the original thread.

Actually what I meant was is there a query string you can type in the url of a browser to get this done. For instance, the query string to move a thread is:

http://www.website.com/forum/posting...hreadid=121910

Is there something you can placed after this to get it to "Move thread and leave redirect in previous forum?"

Thx.

No, you can't, since that action is using $HTTP_POST_VARS, and just writing ...&action=domove... won't do it.

ok, thanks!

I guess I'll have to use the method you've posted.

By the way, I highly recommend you back up your database before doing anything directly with it!!!
