As designed Moving closed thread does not updates the redirect

[Floren]

Try this:
1) Close a thread and move it to a different forum.
2) Open the thread for posting and go to the old forum where the redirect link is present.

The redirect displays a Closed status.

 

[ENF]

It does display the lock on the redirect in the original forum.

But I guess as long as the target thread is open, then this more just cosmetic that function. Never really noticed before you post this.

Confirmed in 1.1.2

I offer this code fix to the devs, that they may find it worthy.

XenForo_DataWriter_Discussion_Thread

Add the red code:

	/**
	 * Specific discussion post-save behaviors.
	 */
	protected function _discussionPostSave(array $messages)
	{
		$threadId = $this->get('thread_id');

		if ($this->isUpdate() && $this->isChanged('discussion_state') && $this->get('discussion_state') != 'visible')
		{
			$this->_deleteRedirects('thread-' . $threadId . '-%', true);
		}
		else if ($this->isUpdate() && $this->isChanged('node_id'))
		{
			if ($this->get('discussion_type') == 'redirect')
			{
				$threadRedirectModel = $this->getModelFromCache('XenForo_Model_ThreadRedirect');
				$redirect = $threadRedirectModel->getThreadRedirectById($threadId);
				if ($redirect && $redirect['redirect_key'])
				{
					$redirectKey = preg_replace('/^(thread-\d+)-(\d+)$/', '$1-' . $this->get('node_id'), $redirect['redirect_key']);
					if ($redirectKey != $redirect['redirect_key'])
					{
						$threadRedirectModel->updateThreadRedirect($this->get('thread_id'), array('redirect_key' => $redirectKey));
					}
				}
			}
			else
			{
				// delete redirects if moving back to forum that already had it
				$this->_deleteRedirects('thread-' . $threadId . '-' . $this->get('node_id') . '-');
			}
		}

		if ($this->isUpdate() && $this->isChanged('discussion_open'))
		{
			$threadRedirectModel = $this->getModelFromCache('XenForo_Model_ThreadRedirect');

			$redirectThreadIds = array();
			$threadRedirects = $threadRedirectModel->getThreadRedirectsByKey('thread-' . $threadId . '-%', true);

			foreach ($threadRedirects AS $threadRedirect)
			{
				$redirectThreadIds[] = $threadRedirect['thread_id'];
			}

			if ($redirectThreadIds)
			{
				$db = $this->_db;

				$db->update('xf_thread',
					array('discussion_open' => $this->get('discussion_open')),
					'thread_id IN (' . $db->quote($redirectThreadIds) . ')'
				);
			}
		}

		if ($this->isUpdate() && $this->get('discussion_state') == 'visible' && $this->isChanged('node_id'))
		{
			$indexer = new XenForo_Search_Indexer();

			$messageHandler = $this->_messageDefinition->getSearchDataHandler();
			if ($messageHandler)
			{
				$thread = $this->getMergedData();
				$fullMessages = $this->_getMessagesInDiscussionSimple(true); // re-get with message contents
				foreach ($fullMessages AS $key => $message)
				{
					$messageHandler->insertIntoIndex($indexer, $message, $thread);
					unset($fullMessages[$key]);
				}
			}

			$this->_handleForumMove($messages, $this->getExisting('node_id'), $this->get('node_id'));
		}
	}

Works fine in my testing.

Dam, and there was nobody to "Ninja" you.

Really, redirects represent snap shots at the time - you can say the same about sticky state, visibility state, prefix, reply/view count, etc.

So, as designed.
