You mean thread conversations never get jumbled up naturally?


No, I don't mean that, but it would certainly confuse the hell out of me if I came back tomorrow and there were a whole heap of replies stuffed in this topic that weren't there today I'm getting old you know and my brain is easily fuddled these days <

You're only as old as you feel.

And you certainly seem as sharp as ever, but I can see where it could get confusing if not done right. I'll bet merging two topics is probably one of those things you'd want to catch early on to reduce any other issues.<

That's ok for you to say, you are still in your twenties

I think I can see the benefits of the MOD if it is used sparingly, will have to download the code and take a look.<

I had to explain this MOD to my moderators. I don't think I've used the word 'topic' so many times in one sentence!

Just wondering... is there a way (maybe SQL) of changing the post date of a topic? The moderator of my promotions forum (also known as 'spam drop'... the forum, not moderator!) is doing some major cleaning up in there, organising topics into stickies such as "Show us your MySpace", "Post here if you are promoting a gig", that kind of thing. Now, if those topics could have the date changed to say 01/01/2000, then there would be no issues with topics being merged in and appearing above the topic starter post.

ps. Is there nothing easy to explain relating to this MOD? <

you would have to write a mod to change the topic date, but there is nothing stopping you from doing it, other than having to change all the reply dates as well <

the problem is that in doing so you may actually reduce the chances of someone finding something I often use the dates to work out how to search for something, and if you just go changing dates topics won't appear in the search results as you would expect them to, if I kenw someone had posted something in the last six months and you had changed the date to 01/01/2000 I'm going to have a difficult time trying to locate it efficiently.<

That's a very good point.

I guess 95% of the time, this MOD is great and serves a real purpose. For what I've got to do... maybe I should install the sub-forums MOD instead.<

......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.

Hi Davio,

I am using this on my 'live forum', and I love it!

I feel the need to personally THANK YOU for all the work I KNOW you have done. I teach piano online, and the majority of my students know ZILCH when they become members of my site.

Comparing myself with my students, I know far less info about ASP than anybody knows about music...but following the guidelines in the 'READ ME' file of your SPLIT TOPIC MOD, I was able to install MERGE TOPIC MOD with ease! On my FIRST try, the MERGE TOPIC MOD worked GREAT!

THANK YOU!


The only problem I notice occurs when merging topics; I use a PROFILE SIGNATURE with hyperlinks, but the first post merged screws up the part with hyperlinks.

You should also know I use version 3.4.03. I hesitate to upgrade, because it took me a very looooooooooong time to figure out how to install many of the mods my members use and rely upon. I'm not smart enough to upgrade without jeopardizing my previous successes. Even so, YOUR MODS are working beautifully for me (in spite of the 'signature problem' which I can manually correct) and I sincerely appreciate your work!

You are one of my heroes!

THANK YOU!

Mike

Wow. Such praises and adoration.
I'm not worthy!



I'll look into that problem you posted.

Mark, I haven't forgotten about you. Been really busy past 2 weeks and gonna be busy still for the next 2. You will just have to work around it in the mean time.<

It's okay, just a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things. Cheers, Davio. <

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.<

If you search the files for "Merge Topic Mod" the changes are outlined. Its still in beta, which is probably why a proper "ReadMe" hasn't been made.<
