XF 1.0 Merge forums?

[Member 3639]

Is there a way to merge two forums in a category together or to move all topics from one to the other?

Is there a way of mass moving posts from one forum to another?
Run the following query:

UPDATE xf_thread SET node_id = y WHERE node_id = x;

Replace x with the node ID of the existing forum and y with the node ID of the new forum. Note that the forum cache and search index should be rebuilt in the ACP -> Tools -> Rebuild Caches.

Sorry, noob question: How do you find the node ID for a given forum?

 

[Member 3639]

Click on the forum, the number in the url is it's ID.

So, for example:

http://<your.domain>/index.php?forums/<ForumName>.<ForumNodeID>/

Thanks!

Is ACP mass move likely to be a feature sometime?

Is this still the best way to merge 2 forums?

Use the Batch Update Threads feature in the ACP to move all threads from one forum to another.

That was too easy. Thanks.
