Mod Name: Merge Topic Mod
Version: Beta 2
Snitz Forums Tested with: 3.4.05 and newer (should be able to work with all 3.4 versions)
Database support: All database types supported
Author: Davio
Last Updated: September 25, 2006.

Description:
This mod allows you to merge 2 topics together, along with all of their replies. Replies will be ordered by their post date.

Download:
Primary site: http://www.snitzbitz.com/mods/details.asp?Version=All&mid=233

To-Do:
- Add feature to email author that his topic was merged with another.
- Handling of subscriptions need to be dealt with for both topics being merged.
- Maybe get a better icon to use?
- Fix bugs!

Known Bugs:
- When merging 2 topics between 2 different forums, the merged topic ends up in the wrong forum. FIXED in beta 2

You guys have been asking me for this code for the longest while. So here it is.
It is not fully ready for prime time. There is still some things left on the To-Do list and some bugs to iron out. But hoping with your help, we can get it there more quickly, instead of waiting on me.

Please don't use this on your live forum as yet. If you do, don't come and blame anyone here that your topics got messed up.

Please post your bug reports, errors, suggestions in this thread.<

If you read the previous post before yours, it should answer your question.

If you need help with it, just ask away.

Hi All,

Was a readme file for the Merge Topic Mod mod every posted somewhere ?

Looking to give it a go in a test forum.

Thanks,

Pierre

Yeah it's stable enough. Apart from a readme file. <
AnonJr Posted - 30 August 2008 : 10:58:31
I've not seen anything that indicates otherwise. It seems a number of people have been using it without any major problems - lack of a readme not withstanding.<

modifichicci Posted - 10 October 2007 : 14:54:36
Working well.
I have add some modifications:

in merge.asp
at line 281

I have adde strForumUrl and Topicid, so you need only to insert the topic number

"              <p><i>URL:</i><br><input class=""text"" type=""text"" maxLength=""250"" name=""url"" id=""url"" value=""" & strForumUrl & "topic.asp?TOPIC_ID="" size=""50""></p>" & vbNewLine & _

Dimension can be varied to fit with your needing.

Mail to author to tell topic is merged:

in post_info in merge code: (line number may be different from my version)
after

if blnInSameForum = false then
			strSql = "UPDATE " & strTablePrefix & "TOPICS "
			strSql = strSql & " SET FORUM_ID = " & allRec(ForumID, intTargetTopic)
			strSql = strSql & ", CAT_ID = " & allRec(CatID, intTargetTopic)
			strSql = strSql & " WHERE TOPIC_ID = " & allRec(TopicID, intNotTargetTopic)
			'Response.Write strSql & "<br>"
			'Response.End
			my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
		end if

add

if lcase(strEmail) = "1" then 'not implemented yet
			'Send mail to author letting him know his topic was merged with another.
			'DoAutoMoveEmail(allRec(Topic_ID, intOlderTopic))
			strSql  = "SELECT M.MEMBER_ID, M.M_NAME, M.M_EMAIL, T.FORUM_ID, T.T_SUBJECT "
			strSql = strSql & " FROM " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS M, " & strActivePrefix & "TOPICS T "
			strSql = strSql & " WHERE M.MEMBER_ID = " & allRec(Topic_Author, intOtherTopic)
			strSql = strSql & " AND T.TOPIC_ID = " & allRec(TopicID, intOtherTopic)
			'Response.Write strSql
			'Response.End
			set rs2 = my_Conn.Execute (strSql)
			
			email = rs2("M_EMAIL")
			user_name = rs2("M_NAME")
			Topic_Title = rs2("T_SUBJECT")
			ForumId = rs2("FORUM_ID")
			Usernum = rs2("MEMBER_ID")
			
			rs2.close
		
			strRecipientsName = user_name
			strRecipients = email
			strSubject = strForumTitle & " - Topic Moved"
			strMessage = "Hello " & user_name & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
			strMessage = strMessage & "Your posting on " & strForumTitle & "." & vbNewLine
			strMessage = strMessage & "Regarding the subject - " & allRec(Topic_Subject, intOtherTopic) & "." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
			
			if not(chkForumAccess(ForumID,Usernum,false)) then
				strMessage = strMessage & "Has been removed from public display. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact the Administrator of the forum" & vbNewLine
			else
				strMessage = strMessage & "Has been moved to a new forum, You can view it at " & vbNewLine & Left(Request.Form("refer"), InstrRev(Request.Form("refer"), "/")) & "topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & allRec(TopicID, intOlderTopic) & vbNewLine
			end if
	%>
	<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_mail.asp" -->
	<%
		end if

and delete the same lines a little below.<

Mark, I haven't forgotten about you.
It's okay, just a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things. Cheers, Davio. <
