Is there a quick way of moving all the topics and replies from one forum to another ?

I want to delete a couple of forums but don't want to lose their content so it makes sense to move the topics and replies into another existing forum but doing each individually would take ages

Is there a quick way of doing it?

Thanks

No problem, I forgot it doesn't need the FORUM_ bit of the table name

Using the following Sql statements in MySQL Workbench did the job though..

UPDATE FORUM_TOPICS SET FORUM_ID = 10 WHERE FORUM_ID = 57
UPDATE FORUM_REPLY SET FORUM_ID = 10 WHERE FORUM_ID = 57

Many thanks

Nope that didn't work Huw, just returned an error...


UPDATE FORUM_FORUM_TOPICS SET FORUM_ID = 10 WHERE FORUM_ID = 57

If you go to (Alternative MOD Setup) under admin options, you should be able to paste that code in the box and execute it (once you have inserted the correct ID's)

If you can run sql directly against your db, then you could do it that way too, the sql is pretty straight forward

I have a couple of old forums showing on the default.asp page which are no longer required but which I'd like to keep the topics/posts and which will fit into another forum of similar content

I'll back up and then try the above Huw .... don't go away
HuwR Posted - 25 January 2016 : 08:33:39
It should be possible using a dbs script, but I would recommend doing a backup first

The syntax would be something like

[UPDATE]
FORUM_TOPICS
FORUM_ID#NEWFORUM_ID#FORUM_ID = OLDFORUMID
[END]
[UPDATE]
FORUM_REPLY
FORUM_ID#NEWFORUM_ID#FORUM_ID = OLDFORUMID
[END]

You could possibly use a dbs script to do it (I'll check later but think it would be possible.

Why not simply lock the forum and leave it, not sure why you would want to delete one but keep all the posts.

Yes I did but the warnings and 'created in a rush' swayed me away from it

Did you consider the "merge forums" mod?
