Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to merge several "single simple discussion" forums into one "standard" forum.

Would appreciate your solutions/suggestions.

No, I don't know of anyway. This is somewhat related to my Tracker feature request, "Move posts to a different topic or topic thread."  Consider voting for it and adding some ideas.

Great! Via Moodle's database, there should eventually be a way to move posts around, merge them, copy, even duplicate.

Probably. But too much hassle. And I would very much like not to touch the database.

Problem is, I have created several forum activities (with discussions by students) that I would hate to lose as there are newer groups of students that join the discussions every year and often build up on previous discussions. But the large number of such "single simple discussions" is becoming difficult to manage. They would be much easier to handle as discussions in a standard forum.

I think I have found a very simple solution:

Step 1: Edit the SSD forum to change it to a standard forum. You will get a standard forum with the content of the SDD forum both as the main topic of the standard forum and as a discussion in it. The discussion will contain the replies to the SDD forum.

Step 2: Move the discussion to whatever other standard forum you want.
