This is the support topic for the tutorial Changing "leave a link" to no.  Please post here if you have any questions or feedback.

Some people may prefer when moving topics to have the "leave a link" set to no as the default choice.

That would be me then

thanks Andy

Me too

I would love to have mine set to "no", but I can't get this to work. I followed down to the 'move form'. I deleted lines shown in your top pic in the tutorial. Then I did a copy/paste of the lines shown in your bottom pic.

That's where you stopped. You didn't put how to save the change or anything else. I always thought Tutorials are for people who don't know how to do something. In yours, you seem to be assuming that people have knowledge that some of us don't have.

Could you please tell me what I'm supposed to do after changing those lines? How am I supposed to save the change? When I stop after changing the lines and go to the skin and try to move something, it is still set to "yes".

I'm sorry if you found it missing the save step, although I have not had anyone mention this before. I do try to write my tutorials to make them friendly and as easy to follow as possible.

To clarify, you just need to click the "Save Template Bit" button after you have made the change. Quick screenshot...

Remember if you have multiple skins, you will need to repeat this on each of those you wish this to effect.

Thank you. I appreciate the help.

Your welcome

There's something i'd like to ask. This makes the default to "Yes" when moving a topic.

However if you try to move multiple topics, through doing check boxes in the forum view, the default is still "No".

Anyways to make this into Yes ?

Hello,
sure you can

Go to: ACP > LOOK & FEEL > ( select skin ) > Edit Template HTML >   Moderator Function >> move_checked_form_start
Find:

<td class="formsubtitle" colspan='2' align='center'><b>{$this->ipsclass->lang['leave_link']}</b>&nbsp; <select name="leave"><option value="y" selected="selected">{$this->ipsclass->lang['yes']}</option><option value="n">{$this->ipsclass->lang['no']}</option></select></td>

Change to:

<td class="formsubtitle" colspan='2' align='center'><b>{$this->ipsclass->lang['leave_link']}</b>&nbsp; <select name="leave"><option value="y">{$this->ipsclass->lang['yes']}</option><option value="n" selected="selected">{$this->ipsclass->lang['no']}</option></select></td>

Save and you're done!
