Duplicating a forum and its content

Is this possible to do? I have never seen a mod capable of this. Basically it will duplicate a forum and all of its content, just once specific forum I am talking about here not a whole board.

If this isnt possible is there a mod to dupicate all highlighted threads?

 

Are you talking about duplicating it on the same board, or are you talking about duplicating the content on one site, to another site?

 

Just on the same board, even something that allows you to do inline thread copying would be perfect

 

Couldn't you just use: AdminCP -> Threads and Posts -> Move ?

 

Does that copy them as in duplicate them Nick?

 

I was looking for something like this the other day, I noticed you copy copy a thread inline. But not copy a whole bunch of threads.

 

I guess there is no luck with this

 

Oops, I read and thought too fast. Let me look for something.

 

Doesn't seem to be possible: How to copy threads from one forum to another (on the same site)? - vBulletin Community Forum

 

Thanks Nick, now this is something we need

The reason we need it is because we have two forums, one which more or less the same but private so admins,mods can see the content and after youve posted x times on the board youre able to see a different one which we all can reply to, under this forum we have an FAQ forum which is a subforum and we need to have this subforum with useful info attached to both

Is there any way of attaching a subforum to two forums simultaneously?

 

No, there is not... unless there is a modification at the ORG.

 

Last question

are you looking to duplicate on the fly in real time? Or are you looking to duplicate this forum one time only?

 

Just once, you know of a mod

 

I don't know of a mod per se, but I do have a method for you.

1. Back up your current database.
2. restore your current database, into a new seperate database
3. On the restored database, delete all members, and forums/threads you don't want copied.
4. Download impex from vBulletin.com/members, install it on the original forums.
5. Run impex to import the forums and threads.
6. Rebuild counters in the AdminCP.

 

Thats just too much for what you would think would be a default possibility good idea though.

I think I will just copy and paste them into the new forum, 15 threads shouldnt take too long
