I would like to be able to move topics from one forum for the next. For example, this topic here:

https://wl.widelands.org/forum/topic/4495/

is in German, so it should be moved to the German forum.

The icing on the cake would be if we could leave a temporary redirect in the old forum, so we won't have to notify the author manually.

And double gold star for shifting posts from topic A to topic B, but that's probably a lot ore work.

You can move a topic already:

  • go the admin page for pybb->topics
  • choose the topic you want to change
  • choose the forum you want to move the topic to (see attachment)
  • save

I think we don't need a redirect in the old forum, because links are mainly created from the post id. We also do not have any references to a forums name, if i remember right.

Moving one post from topic A to topic B is another issue though. I have to think about it.

If you agree about not having a redirect, i would change this bug containing only the post move.

The redirect would be for humans, not for the software. This would save us from having to PM topic participants about the move.

I don't understand why this is needed :-S I think normally if a person is interested in a topic he subscribes it. We also have the latest posts list. Also the search (ok, currently not working).

Maybe it depends how people do search for a specific topic. I never use the forums list... some times i guess the forum, but mainly i do not find the topic i am searching for, because the topic isn't in the forum where i thought it could belong to :-D

How do you find a specific topic? Do you remember the forum of a specific topic?

It depends. I sometimes only look at specific forums.

Another way to solve this problem would be to show a user's posts in their profile, but that would also be an entirely new feature.

I wanted to implement this for a long time. Currently we have only the number of posts there... i want to change the number into a link to a view containing all posts of this user. This is easy to implement...

Let's prioritize that then - I want this a lot more than the temporary redirect.

Do you want the same ordering as we have for the 'More latest posts' view? Currently it is ordered by date.

I think ordering by date is fine.

Can we change the bugs title and description to 'move posts ...' now?
