Does this work with 4.2?

Yep. I use it on 4.2.PL2

but no luck with the time and date bug?

What time/date bug? Seems to work fine for me.

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2269632&postcount=144" target="_blank">https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showp...&postcount=144</a>

So I guess that's long sense been fixed? It works fine for me. I use it to stick a summary post
in as the second post in a thread.

Scary how powerful it is, though. As I only need in on occasion, I'm thinking about leaving it disabled until I do.

doug, you're right.
but, is there a chance these edits will appear in mod log somewhen?

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!

yes.
under admincp > settings you select "Change author and date" and there you choose which user groups by click and hold ctrl.
and then you see it in advanded editor. you'll see it for sure ;)

Is there a way to tell if a usergroup has permissions to use it or not?

yes there is a setting for that in the settings menu.
the author also says so:

Yes, I know, but how do you see if they do?

All you do is click on a usergroup and click Save, but there's no indicator or list showing the usergroups that have the abilities to edit it or not.

I'd prefer check boxes.

true. but you can see it from those who are selected in the list

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).

Bump.

you may just remove the entries for the hooks newthread_form_complete and newthread_post_start

Can you elaborate?

Go to admincp, Plugins&addons, manage Plugins and uncheck as required to disable.

Thanks.

Wouldn't I also disable newpost_complete, newpost_process, newreply_form_complete, newreply_form_start and just leave the "edit" ones enabled since I only want to be able to change the author and date and time when editing, not when creating?

???

sure. why don't you just give it a try? it's easily enabled again.

Let me rephrase this old question: Can only one usergroup use this at a time?

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:

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

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...a/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

I know, and I tried to explain before: whatever is selected, and therefore blue in your case, is active. to select more than one usergroup, use ctrl

Ah, thank you.

You didn't let me know of that last time.

Okay, new question.

I know that it doesn't actually change the format once you submit it, but to prevent confusion when editing (even though it shows what the format is), is it possible to change the date format in the modification's Date box to M-D-YYYY (n-j-Y).

Example: 12/14/2012

Oh, and is it also possible to change the time to 12-hour format?

Bump.

Works well in 4.2 thanks

Anything, Yjeanrenaud?

I find this one of the most important mods I have, working fine on 4.2pl3.

I'm wondering if this can also be added to Blogs and Calendars?

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
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.

true. but as far as I know, he's not active anymore. I might though change it to some point, but I have only little time right now.

No rush. It's not anything urgent. :)

I have spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out where to add the permissions. The following is the permissions for admin:

Am I looking in the wrong place? Thank you in advance.

Settings > Options > Change Author and Date

Thank You smirkley, I don't know why I didn't see that before. I was getting kinda of aggravated.

Its just the one that I had been looking for so long.

It has made my task much easier now. I can now easily modify any post date / time with just a few clicks.
