xF2 in Credit [tl] Thread Symbiotics 1.0.3 1.0.3

[Xenforo]

Description: Make more threads which link to an existing thread.

Symbiotic threads work like the current thread redirect but with few differences:

• Symbiotic threads is permanently redirects
• Symbiotic threads have last post info and display as normal threads in thread list.
• One existing thread can have more symbiotic
• Automatically update symbiotic thread stats when the source thread updated.

This allows for one thread to appear in many forums with very little give away from what forum it originated.
Any thread updates bump the symbiotic thread up in the regular sort by post date.
The symbiotic thread acts like a regular thread even though it originates elsewhere.

It follows sticky thread behavior.

1. Admin/Moderator or any privileged User selects "Thread symbiotic"

2. Admin/Moderator or any privileged User selects target forums.

3. This thread now appears in the target forums and behaves like a regular thread does in those target forums. Last Post and View counts all sync up.

----
The difference to the XF native Copy/Move thread is that the symbiotic thread is camouflage, does not have the redirect icon. Follows regular sort by last post rules unlike the XF copy/Move where the redirect slowly falls down in sort ranking.

Application for me is for site wide threads that are relevant to multiple forums.

It's in production for a few days now on a XF2.2 forum without any error or glitches.
Sorry there is no demo link.
