My moderators are too lazy to PM a user, when a thread is moved and invariably it leads to some griping by the movee (sp).

Sooo, this mod allows the thread move process to send a PM to the topic starter (or the poster, if it's posts within a thread) with the reason for the move.

I did this for 6.5.x and now it's updated for 7.1.1

screenie1 is the message that is sent, even if the moderator doesn't include a reason

screenie2 is the same, but with a reason.

Good luck.

Note: updated with bugfix + Ian's recommend on ability to NOT send PM.

Thanks sirdude laugh
Very Very Good wink

Its obvious but yet its not stock wink

I like it more as its a pm and not an e-mail wink

I think i will add this one after 7.2 is settled in smile
I do rather like the idea behind this smile
haven't installed this, but it would be good to have a 'do not PM user' - especially if one has to move posts made by the autoposting bot wink
i like that idea Ian. i'll add that option and update.

/me adds to list
Ok, i found a bug anyway. So now there is an option to allow the Mover to decide yes/no (thanks Ian), if they want to inform the topic starter/poster of the move and why.

If yes then they get a PM with a reason (only if one is supplied). Otherwise they are just informed of the move.

I also added the PM inform on when a Post and all of its replies are moved. Seemed reasonable. Little different wording on the PM and another template modified, but it functions the same.

Only thing i DON'T inform on is a topic move/merge. That is left up to the Moderator/Admin to decide what to do.

The readme.txt is updated in the first post above to reflect these changes.
sirdude, this is a good mod. I'll use this when 7.2 is finished. Thanks. smile
Thanks Rose,

i'll check for 7.2 compatibility, but at first glance it's probably a drop in.
I was just about to apply this mod and found the following.

In the readme file for step 2.


Quote
Open: /languages/english/movetpost.php

Find:

---
$ubbt_lang['REASON'] = "Reason for moving
---

Replace with:

---
$ubbt_lang['REASON'] = "Reason for moving (Sent along with PM)";
$ubbt_lang['SEND_PM'] = "Should a PM to post starter be sent?";

In our 7.1.1 installation we have no 'movetpost.php' (which is probably a typo) and the contents of the file there is no "REASON" line, here is the contents of our movepost.php file.

Quote
$ubbt_lang['CHOOSE_HEAD'] = "Move post & replies";
$ubbt_lang['MOVE_TO'] = "Move post & replies to:";
$ubbt_lang['MERGE_WITH'] = "Merge post & replies with Post#:";
$ubbt_lang['SUBMIT'] = "Submit";
?>


hrm... good catch.

it's probably (and is movepost.php)

let me update the readme.txt to reflect the REAL 'Find:'

thanks...

film @ 11
now fixed to be find + add below

thanks!

just re-download the new readme.txt smile
Excellent Mod! Thanks, works like a charm!
I just realized today that if the topic starter responds to the PM, it doesn't go to the mod that moved the topic, in fact it doesn't go anywhere.

At first I thought this was very odd, but now as I type this I'm thinking maybe it is more complex than that?
