Is it possible to perform a bulk move such as a topic prune function?

Yes, you can - use the "Move All Selected" and "Delete All Selected" buttons in the topic list

Note the "select all/none" checkbox next to the buttons (new in version 2.8.0).

You may also want to change the "Topics Per Page:" setting in your "Account Settings" so you can move more topics at a time.

Best regards.

Frank

You are on a very very old release. Please upgrade to version 2.7.7 or 2.8.0. If you don't, we're not going to talk the same language.

Going to start to migrate the forum to the most current version of FUDForum.

I looked at the Move function then someone suggested I do the following via script instead of doing it manually per page.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Scripts could be written to do it automatically.

Since topics have date created records in the database, someone could write a script that does something like:

select posts who have a creation date older than 730 days (2 years)
move the results into the "archive" topic
mark all in the 'archive' topic as read-only
------------------------------------------------------------------

Doable?

Yes, it's doable. Start with something like this:

UPDATE fud26_thread
   SET forum_id = ...
 WHERE datediff(now(), from_unixtime(last_post_date)) > 730;

Also look at the code in admaprune.php.

Please let me know when your script is ready so we can add it to the wiki.
