DevFuse Forums: Changing 'leave a link'

In IP. Board 3.0. the checkbox for leaving "moved" links has been changed to not leave a link by default when moving a topic or group of topics.

This is very easy to restore if you wish it to be checked by default.

Two very small template edits are needed. Note they have similar names but you need to do both.

ACP > Look / Feel > Skin Manager > Manage Templates / CSS > (choose skin) Manage Templates / CSS >

Moderation > MoveTopicForm >

Find...

<input type='checkbox' id='leave_link' class='input_check' name='leave' value='y' />

Replace with...

<input type='checkbox' checked='checked' id='leave_link' class='input_check' name='leave' value='y' />

Save.

Moderation > MoveTopicsForm >

Find...

<input type='checkbox' id='leave_link' class='input_check' name='leave' value='y' />

Replace with...

<input type='checkbox' checked='checked' id='leave_link' class='input_check' name='leave' value='y' />

Save.

The first one is for an individual topic move via the dropdown when you are viewing it. The second edit is for mass moving via the dropdown in the forum view.
