moving resources from xfrm to threads

[electrogypsy]

Apologies if there is already an answer to this, all my searching kept coming up with solutions for doing this opposite of what i am looking for.

I'm looking for an addon that will let me import/move items from the XFRM to threads in a forum, with attachments. I am moving to a different software and would like to not lose the several hundred items currently in my XFRM.

If none exist, perhaps a mod could move this to the custom development requests section.

Ditto. Is there a way to move a post in the Resource section and make it a regular thread in a forum?

Nope. Can only move it within the Resource categories. Cannot move it to regular forum as a regular thread.

Why not ?
You can if the destination forum is a regular forum, note article, question or suggestion forums.

Are you able to use the batch update to change the thread type to Discussion, then move them wherever you'd like?

There must be a misunderstanding.

There is no mechanism to move a post in the Resource Manager and make it a regular thread in a regular forum. The "Move" function only allows moving the Resource post to a different category within the Resource Manager. The destination options do not include any of the forums... Only other categories within the Resource Manager.

Not a thread. A resource.

They are two different content types, so no, a resource can't be moved to a forum as a thread.

OK... there's the answer.

I remember now. I did this via the database. But I was also detaching them from and deleting the resources as I

Oh ok !

Admittedly a fairly rare occurrence that this would be needed. Perhaps a "work-around" (I just thought of this):

Copy-paste the contents of the Resource to the OP in the related discussion thread. Then move that thread to the desired forum! (Then delete the Resource.)

Make sense?
