It sounds probably ridiculous since people usually want to avoid or remove duplicate threads. However I have a use case right now where I need to duplicate a thread. How can I do it?

Manually ? You can navigate to the raw contents of the topic by going to /raw/{topic_id} and copying everything there. So, https://meta.discourse.org/t/195111 becomes https://meta.discourse.org/raw/195111 By the way, Discourse calls topics what you call “threads” Edit: or, if you are TL4/staff y…

Actually that doesn’t do what I need. I want all the topic with all the replies. I want an exact duplicate of the thread, but with different topic_id

I found a way to “reproduce” a whole thread which was laborious but no way to truly duplicate it. (Retaining the likes for instance) I create a new thread and put it in a non accessible category e.g. staff. I copy each reply from the original topic tread and paste it in a reply in the new topic t…

That sounds like a lot of work! You might get better feedback next time when you don’t just ask for technical support (“How can I duplicate a topic?”), but explain the situation and what you want to achieve in your initial post. E.g. you probably could have just closed the topic, put a staff note …

I can’t blame you for your comment: we often ask what is the goal when people ask for technical stuff about fmpro on our board. However I was dead set on my intent to experiment this approach with the current situation. I knew about closing thread and starting two new topics. I wanted to use the e…

[圖片] incapaz: By the way, Discourse calls topics what you call “threads” I know, @HAWK even edited my title to reflect that. I use threads exactly to avoid what happened here: your suggestion was a solution to duplicate the topic (aka the initial post). However what I wanted was a solution …

[圖片] Cécile_Savoie: In other words, when you create a new topic and people post replies, what you get is a thread. That’s the thing – you don’t… There is literally no such thing as a thread in Discourse. The first post and all responses together are called a topic.

I will accept the concept you expose in the context of Discourse. However, linguistically, philosophically, and historically in the online fora domain, thread is what best describe the thing that has for components a titled initial post and the following replies. :slightly_smiling_face:

Agreed, but the thing that you’re missing here is that Discourse doesn’t have threading like all other forum platforms do. That is literally why we make this distinction.

You make a point. In this case a discussion or conversation might be a better term since it is less specific about the design uniting the components :grinning:

你好，

Discourse Canned Replies 难道不是一个更好的解决方案吗？你只需要为主题和帖子创建一次，然后就可以简单地选择模板了。
