[Suggestion] Move the clients instead of a channel with D&G

I hope this has not been posted before..

After you have created the channel-structure it's pretty useless to move channels.
It would be clever if there is an option to move all clients via drag and drop to another channel instead of moving the channel AND all clients in them.
Maybe by pressing CTRL while moving.

great! like that

This would prevent people from moving channels by accident but then they would move all people in there. I am not sure what is better Perhaps it should be possible to disable the mouse channel move at all?

The channel move via D&D is a nice convenience, but I would LOVE to be able to move all users from a channel to another. Either a CTRL drag to move the channel, or just putting the 'parent channel' as an option in the Edit Channel dialog should be sufficient.

I like this request, will discuss with some people about it.

Nice Idea, would be great when there will be an option 4 moving multiple Users from some channels like I can move in any fileexplorer different Files by holding CTRL while i click on them and drag them where i want to. Would make TS3 more intuitively.

Channel 1
Player 1
Player 2
- Subchannel 1.1
Player 3
Player 4
Channel 2
Player 5
- Subchannel 2.1
Player 6
Player 7
Channel 3

Now I hold CTRL klick on Player 2, Player 4 and Player 7 and drag them in Channel 3. Moving all Clients of a Channel at a time would a good thing too, maybe via the Context-Menu of the Channel "Move all players to > Channellist" or something.

Or, grab the Channel 2.1 to Channel 1 and Players 6 and 7 are moved to channel 1. Convenience. CTRL/SHIFT click would be nice, but I'd like to see the move channel feature altered so it's not so easy to do it by accident.

Devs plan to implement multiselect first. But this has low priority atm.

I don't know if i would like a behavior like that but the problem of moving whole channels by accident is something what should be solved because one of my b00n-admins is moving the Default-Channel all the Time but I don't know who.

but I would LOVE to be able to move all users from a channel to another.

Just write a script for that. I wrote a Lua script that does that, so I can simply type /lua run move 4 to move all users from my channel to channel #4, or I type /lua run move 4 2 to move all users from channel 2 to channel 4.
Similar to that a lot things are possible via scripting; all I'm looking for is that you could make shorter commands (or listen to chat input via lua; I hope this comes with the plugin updates in the next client) without having to write a plugin (which would be overkill).

You can enable logging changes to channels in the serverinstance settings, that way you see who moves them.

Is it possible to get this script?
Dont know much about LUA

Thanks.

It would be nice, if we can select multiple users so we can:
- switch them to another channel
- kick / ban
- mute
- add/remove to/from contact
... and so on ...

Thanks

Just look here -> http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=49250 for multiple select and move.

Sure, just copy this to the custom.lua file in the scripts folder, and reload the Lua plugin:

function move ( serverConnectionHandlerId, channelTo, channelFrom )
	local error, clientList
	if channelFrom == nil then
		local clientId, error = ts3.getClientID( serverConnectionHandlerId )
		if error ~= ts3errors.ERROR_ok then
			print( 'move: Error getting client ID: ' .. error )
			return
		end
		
		channelFrom, error = ts3.getChannelOfClient( serverConnectionHandlerId, clientId )
		if error ~= ts3errors.ERROR_ok then
			print( 'move: Error getting channel ID: ' .. error )
			return
		end
	end
	
	clientList, error = ts3.getChannelClientList( serverConnectionHandlerId, channelFrom )
	if error ~= ts3errors.ERROR_ok then
		print( 'move: Error getting clients in channel: ' .. error )
		return
	end
	
	for i, clientId in ipairs( clientList ) do
		error = ts3.requestClientMove( serverConnectionHandlerId, clientId, channelTo, '' )
		if error ~= ts3errors.ERROR_ok then
			print( 'move: Error moving client ' .. tostring( clientId ) .. ': ' .. error )
		end
	end
end

Then you can simply use the command by entering it into the chat window:

/lua run move <to>         <-- to move from current channel to <to>
/lua run move <to> <from>  <-- to move from <from> to <to>

Examples:
/lua run move 2 5
/lua run move 3
