Nice. I used to have a mod that allowed me to also edit the IP and date / time when posting or editing a new thread / post in vB3.

Would you perhaps be willing to add those functions to your mod too? That would be great.

Thanks in advance anyway, installed. :)

So we can Change the thread owner as the THREAD is created ?
Previous versions of this, meant you had to post as A and then edit and change to B

So in this example: I can create a thread and choose the AUTHOR on the fly ?

Date edit would be useful.
IP edit not so useful for me, as only admins have that viewable, plus if in 6 months I track back to the thread I created in another authors name, a quick IP check shows it was me who did it lol

If it weren't for the four template edits needed, this would be nice. I just hate to have to re-edit all those files every time I upgrade. I'd sooner just delete the post and let the person re-post it under the correct name.

I actually *prefer* the template-edits. No matter how you do it you have to add *something* to regular vB.

There are mods which inject their code into existing templates and thus they require no template-edits. However such injections are not handled on a vB update at all, the upgrade/diff system doesn't even see them. So they might simply stop working on a new version 'cos the injection code doesn't find its target anymore.

With template edits, the regular diff system will pick up problems. Easier.

check your permissions settings- does the username your trying to use have "permission" to post an Article . . .

changing the permissions for that group worked for me. GL

I plan on using this to easily change the order of sticky posts. We use a lot of them and want them in a certain order, so when we add a new sticky it's a pain, but with this mod it should be super easy. My question is that after I changed the date of a sticky post, in order to get it re-sorted properly I had to rebuild the thread information. Does this sound right? So it sounds like I should probably set-up a scheduled task to rebuild the thread information every night, or we will have to remember to rebuild it manually each time we use this mod to change a posts date, right??

Good Day,

I use this mod at two RPG boards and it is vital to our games. Great work!

I have, however, run into an issue with it and wonder if we could get a fix for it?

We have characters in the Stargate RPG (and may have in the Babylon 5 one in the future) that have apostrophes in their names (Examples: Col. Jack O'Neill, Teal'c, etc.).

When we go to edit a post to add our portions of the story, in posts owned by O'Neill or Teal'c, the mod cuts the name off after the apostrophe and resets the post owner to "Guest". For example, Col. Jack O'Neill becomes Col. Jack O and that is, of course, an unregistered name.

I am providing screen shots. Please let me know if this can be fixed.

Regards and Thanks

Alisa

I do have one bug to mention, though it might not be on the side of your mod, not sure: If a CMS post has no author (such as when you do an import and then merge a CMS user into the admin) then you cannot give the post an author. I went through about 4 Impex imports before I tracked down the problem.

On VB 4.0.3 PL1 it doesn't add the extra post count to the user in whose name you posted. Also I can't change the date either. TIA.

On Edit:

I've also noticed that though it doesn't add on a post when the post is deleted it subtracts from the post count.

ArchAngelz
06-18-2010, 06:27 AM
I am experiencing the same thing and this is easily reproducible.

The post count goes to the account actually making the post.

This problem can be solved by running the Update Counters > Update Post Counts; but can be quite a pain to use all the time.

Hope this bug can be fixed.

Alternatively, in the meantime, does anyone know how I can run "update counters" as a scheduled task or something?

I've discovered another limitation of this mod.

If for example, User A is logged in, and tries to post as User B.

All users who have subscribed to that thread will see User A as the one who is posting; and hence, User B's real identity is known.

this is a great mod but problems to me. If I post using another username I have register myself I go to my profile and see that posts dont count on second user and counts as the primary user. Im an admin and will like to post as somone else but this Mod screw me over as members can see Im both users. That is not good, i thought this will count to the other user and not my self,

what is the point of using this mod if at the end you not covering anything but posting with 2 different usernames and counting to the main user account.

I was able to get the functionality I needed by installing both this addon (to handle Articles) and this one by Phalynx (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245183) for threads and other mass edits. The biggest bug seems to be that if an article has been published and you change the author, the comments forum thread still shows the original author. I fixed that by using Phalynx's addon to edit the comment thread author. His mod seems to handle post counts/etc a little better, but doesn't do Articles.

For those who don't like template edits, you should look into this mod by Andreas (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152931). It will store all template edits by product without actually editing the templates using a search/add or replace engine. Developed for vb3, it actually still functions admirably with vb4, the only exception being it cannot edit css templates (YET -- there's a single bug (http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7378) stopping the update, please vote on it to be fixed). One thing that makes it awesome is this is the only way to safely edit your Master templates, plus it allows you to export your template edits by product, so for this example, I've created a template edit import file you can use to perform all of the edits needed to make this mod work. I changed the final template edit, making it so it will show the "current" author's name in the entry box for articles, which currently shows as a blank input box. If necessary, you can create a different edit which retains the "current author" as static text, then adds an input box to change the author. I'm actually looking into utilizing the autocomplete code as seen in many other ajax-enabled areas, so you can start typing a username, and you would see a popup with username suggestions to choose from. If I get it working, I'll submit the template edits needs for it.

Mod Suggestion: maybe as a separate mod from this, would it make sense to have a mod that adds a Pen Name field for each user, and if a user who uses a Pen Name writes an article, the CMS system would display the Pen Name instead, and attribute the article to a generic user id for anonymity?

Sorry, just updated the file.

only problem is that if a user has a username over 10 characters, you can't use it. Why is that?

Installed on VB 4.1.3

It appears that when a post is modified the time stamp on the post is changed to the curruent time and date. Is this by design?

I can't tell from the description, screen shots or posts if this mod can do what I would like, so here is my question:

Can a user change the post owner to ANY user, or only specified users? For instance, if I say Usergroup A can change the post owner, can I limit them to ONLY be able to change the post owner to ONE username (i.e. "Anonymous")?

Also, does this mod record who the true author was somewhere for admin purposes?

I just need this change only when editing the POST as I don't want two more entries appear when posting a new thread.
How do I do that?

Mines is the same too, had to go in manually to change the date and time on most of my posts *uninstalled* otherwise a good modification if working. I could go to edit my post as admin i normally use advanced posting for better looking posts etc, then if someone was to post my post would appear 2nd, i thought it was down to the forums time structure so i set it to normal, same thing has been happening, i have to edit a post and set an earlier time than the previous post.

Im using 4.1.3 also,anyone else having this trouble? better yet is there a solution?

06-04-2011, 09:16 AM
The problem is that when admins and moderators (who are able to use the hack) make a new thread the date provided by the mod is not the real one.

It is many hours before and posts seem to have been created from the future....haha The mod does not use the local time of the forum. If you have not noticed that soon, this can screw up the appearance of a forum and confuse the users.

I've noticed since I updated to vB 4.17, my own posts are an hour behind real time. Any new post or reply has the wrong date. I've had to remove the plugin, because too many posts I'm not noticing they're in the wrong spot.

I'll still activate it when I need to use it to really edit something, but I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem.

spillage
11-18-2011, 11:30 PM
For me, quick replies are fine... anything that uses the Advanced editor injects a 3hr offset on the time-stamp when posted.
If I start a new thread it shows as being posted 3 hrs later than it was.
If I edit a post, the time in the field comes up correct, but changes by the offset when saved.

Would a quick fix be to put a local time offset field in the Settings?
Or have a checkbox with the editor field to apply T/D changes... this way we only need to be cognizant of the offset if actually making a T/D change.

In the interim, an acknowledgement of the issue would have been nice... that way we can live in hope of it being addressed when you do get some time, rather than being left feeling ignored and/or abandoned.

Hi All:

I am running vB 4.2 and just installed this great "product" and am having difficulty with the following:

1. Finding where to enable it for a user group
2. Seeing it actually work.

I simply installed in the product section so is there something else I am supposed to do to activate/use this? Also, we are using the forum functionality of vB only and the need for this tool is to be able to manually migrate some threads/post from another forum while logged in as one user, then change author/date to reflect original (migrated) posts.

Unfortunately, ImPex would not work for my application.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Another question, then.

Let's say I start creating a thread at 8:39 PM, and I finish it and post it at 8:48 PM. The time the thread was created would be 8:48 PM.

With this modification enabled, though, because you have the option to enter a date and time, it stays on the date and time it was when you first created the thread. So, if the above scenario happened with this enabled, the thread's creation time would be 8:39 PM (incorrect) instead of 8:48 PM (correct).

Is it possible to make it or add a feature so it either doesn't appear when creating new threads and only when editing posts or make the time in the box update in real time? For example, if it's 8:31 PM and then 8:32 PM, make the time in the box change to 8:32 PM (or 20:32 since the modification has military time format).

Amaury

as many as you select. yes, selecting only one is also possible.

Okay, this is what I was asking about before in regards to "how to tell if a usergroup has permissions to use it or not," which I still don't understand.

Here's a screenshot of its settings:

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m62/AmauryGarcia/ChangeDate-1.jpg

Here's a screenshot of the Auto PM modification settings for a comparison:

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m62/AmauryGarcia/AutoPM-1.jpg

As you can see, it has check boxes so you know whether it's enabled or disabled for whatever usergroups. If there's a check mark, users in that usergroup will not be sent an auto PM when something is done to their threads or posts, such as an update to information. If there isn't a check mark, users in that usergroup will be sent an auto PM when something is done to their threads or posts.

However, as you can see from the screenshot of this modification -- the first one -- there aren't check boxes like that. So, how do you tell if this modification is enabled or disabled for whatever usergroups?

I should have done this last time, but it never occurred to me to take screenshots to explain what I meant. :x

thing is, this ain't my mod and I consider the mode of selection to be fair enough.
If you want to modify it, change the section
<settinggroup name="change_author_and_date" displayorder="65535">
in the xml to something with checkboxes. radiobuttons won't work as you can only select one at a time.

Okay, thank you.

Do you know if the owner is still active? It might be easier for him / her to implement an option to choose what format you want.

As an example, after asking if it was possible, instead of having us do server work to change it, DragonByte Tech recently implemented a format option for their Username Change modification where you type in the format you want (e.g., n/j/Y - 1/8/2013) in a type box, which controls the format of the Username History tab on profiles.

We don't have the suite and therefore don't have CMS. Would it be safe to delete those plugins?

If I change the post date of the initial post on the thread, will that change the position of that thread in the thread list for that forum? In essence, pushing down that thread in the list?

I can't say much, but when looking at both previous and latest version, I can see a lot of changes.

for example, I can see new feature like:

- Change Author And Date Run Once Admin Global
- Old vb-javascript code based replaced with new one using jquery and aweber
- database sql query

I guess the author should explain what he added, otherwise, it sounds like he is either busy or doesn't want to give details for some "unknown" reason(s)...

I downloaded the version 3.0.2 on 8/1/12 and it does not have that code in it. I just checked. You must have downloaded the newer version which is now listed on this mod.

I would be very careful about installing any code with embedded redirects. I'm always cautious about using mods and ALWAYS scan them with Norton.

Also , sometimes when you report mod bugs the mod author asks for admin access to you site to check the mod. Giving a stranger admin access or any kind of special access to your site is a very bad idea.

I sent a message to Steve at Lancerforhire to find out Disco, Spam Hammer is his.

I have found this invaluable using the Publishing Suite AS a Publishing suite, being able to posts for Contributors in their name has helped growth and allowed newbies to get their heads around vB ways.

I/we really need this in Calendars and Blogs. FORTUNATELY I have found a work around for the Calendars through a 4.2.1 fix for the Events Forum...I have it working on my 4.2.2pl1 site and it not only allows me to point my bands and promoters to a reliable Gig Guide (given Farcaster's awesome additions for the Calendars and Events Forum).

It has been frustrating not being able to upload pics from my computer, iCalendars only accept url uploads and for my punters contributors this is often too much to work out, their just Bloggers eh?

This works for me and I suppose it will also allow me to change the names of Authors now the Calendars and Forums are connected.

I still REALLY need this for the Blogs though. It is a royal pain to have to login as a member to post for them, a 3 stage process...

I am actually having a lot of fun banging a multimedia newspaper into a vB4 site, www.tooraktimes.com.au, still a dummy, or as youse web dudes say 'Beta' site but a live build.

Anything CMS orientated is much looked for by me.

I can't write code, but all I know is this mod has helped me enormously as an online Newspaper publisher, and I need it in Calendars and Blogs, it's like I'm being forced to Buddypress on WP to be able to do what I want to do.

IMHO these forums are almost unsustainable, so many great modifications not being ported to 4.2.2 or upgraded as required, even if there are fixes for mods sometimes you have to trawl through pages to find. I spend many hours sifting to find 4.2.2 info. Can someone build a "Stick@end" mod so ALL the latest upgrades to a mod for 4.2.2 can be clearly available,.

My biggest frustration is that 99% of developers are Forum only orientated, the CMS seems alien, forget Blogs and Calendars...pfft...I came in 1t 4.0.1 and chose vB for the CMS, Social Engine was close, WP was still just a Blogger style thing...we've been streeted.

Don't get me wrong, I love all youse dudes, spend a lot of time (too much...my point). It has got to become easier for dummies like me if the platform is to survive.

A LOT of these codes are now public domain, I see that heaps of developers say to use their codes to improve. There are a number in 3.6 that would answer a few questions.

I have paid now many thousands to vB developers, a lot I have chucked or not used, my site is maybe one of the most modified sites ever using vB4.2.2, I went sick, yet I still can't do anything easily.

Happy to support anyone supporting the Publishing Suite Blogs, Calendars, please...CMS widgets that actually work and look cool...

I've experienced security issues with this mod enabled and would like to know what the point of this code is:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function ($) {
$(window).load(function() {
$('#aweber-form').submit(function() {
$(this).attr('action', 'http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl');

if (!$('#it_email_1').val().length) {
alert('Please enter your email address.');
return false;
}

setTimeout(function() { window.location.href = '{vb:raw redirect}'; }, 1000);
return true;
});

$('input[type="reset"]').click(function() {
window.location.href = '{vb:raw redirect}';
});

$('#webmaster-email').click(function() {
$('#it_email_1').val("{vb:raw vboptions.webmasteremail}");
return false;
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>]]>

and also this one:

$_HIDDENFIELDS = array(
'meta_web_form_id' => '317459914',
'meta_split_id' => '',
'listname' => 'vbresults',
'redirect' => 'http://vbresults.com/blog/confirm/',
'meta_adtracking' => 'yellowslider',
'meta_message' => '1',
'meta_required' => 'email,custom Authentication Token',

While this works in 4.2.2 in the CMS it erases tags from a page and prevents new tags from saving.

The problem I have is the "time" it posts. The time posted shows 2 - 3 hours before the time I actually posted it or the time I set for it to be posted. Yes, I have checked the my time on the site, etc. It still shows the posts 2 - 3 hours before that time.
