MyBB Community Forums

Hi everyone,

Firstly I'd like to say that I have recently changed from phpbb to mybb and wish I had done it sooner; the way mods are added is WAY easier!

Anyway, I run a Competition forum and rather than delete any old posts, I move them to a forum called closed competitions. As there are loads of competition posts it takes up to time have to select move threads rather than the default delete threads and wonder if there was a way in which I could make the move threads option the default?

Many thanks

Look into the custom mod tools this can easily be done .

you can simply edit the template "forumdisplay_inlinemoderation"

find the bit that is

<select name="action">
	<option value="delayedmoderation">{$lang->delayed_moderation}</option>
	<optgroup label="{$lang->standard_mod_tools}">
		<option value="multiclosethreads" selected="selected">{$lang->close_threads}</option>
		<option value="multiopenthreads">{$lang->open_threads}</option>
		<option value="multistickthreads">{$lang->stick_threads}</option>
		<option value="multiunstickthreads">{$lang->unstick_threads}</option>
		<option value="multideletethreads">{$lang->delete_threads}</option>
		<option value="multimovethreads">{$lang->move_threads}</option>
		<option value="multiapprovethreads">{$lang->approve_threads}</option>
		<option value="multiunapprovethreads">{$lang->unapprove_threads}</option>
	</optgroup>
	{$customthreadtools}
</select>

and move the selected="selected" down to the "multimovethreads" line

this will change the inline moderation default option for list of threads in a forum.

Fantastic, thank you so much; this is going to save a lot of time for me.

My apologies for using my previous thread to ask another question but it is linked with the initial query.

Thanks to some excellent help, the movethreads option is now the default setting for my forum. However, the only forum I move anything to is called 'Closed Competitions' so is there any way I can get that forum to be the default location for the move?

Many thanks
