I'd like to move one specific Forum Category and all of its Topics over to another Profile. What would be the best way to go about this?

I'm not adverse to hacking in the database if I know what tables to go after (silly person that I am ;) ).

Bit tricky that one. There is the the 'cat_profile_id' in the jr_jrforum_category table, then in the datastore there is a forum_profile_id key on each datastore item.

The difference between a datastore and a normal database table is the way its set up. The forum datastore table where the info is stored is 'jr_jrforum_item_key'

Probably best to add it as a suggestion and we'll probably get round to building it. If its an urgent thing, you can sponsor a module or features development to bump it up TODO list.

Are you talking about moving more than a hundred discussions, or just a few dozen?

@michael - Thanks for the information! I'll definitely post this as a suggestion. In the meantime, I've taken a look at the tables and will take a stab at writing the SQL and updating it on my test data :)

@strumelia - Definitely more than a hundred discussions, closer to a thousand which is why I'm "promoting" this category to a new profile forum where it can then be manually sorted (or not) over time into new sub-categories.
