Change Threads/Posts Owner

What does this hack do?
It can change the owner of multiple threads and post. For this, it adds another option to your mod actions on forumdisplay and showthread. After selecting some threads or posts, you can choose the new owner by name or UserID. By name works with the AJAX namesuggestion, we all know it from writing a PM. After changing the name(s), it rebuilds thread/forum counters.

This hack makes use of phrases, simple group permissions and is creating an entry into the moderation log.

Tested only on vB 3.5.4, but should work also for vB 3.5.0 up to 3.5.4

Contains: 8 phrases, 3 additional templates, 2 Options
Installtime: <1 minutes
Difficulty: easy (1 product)

Demo is not available, due to missing permissions on my board.

Please click INSTALL, otherwise I will not support you.

Changes from 1.0:
-Ability to change also the owner of posts. If you change the owner of the firstpost, the owner of the thread will be also changed

- Added group permission. This works not with Bitfields, because I didn't want to have a file to upload. Instead, you can enter usergroups that should have access to that feature. Due to performance, it is checked only by calling the function, the links are showed for all mods. If you don't enter any group, the forum permission is checked (like it was in 1.0).

- Added possibility to enter also the UserID of a user

- "forumdisplay_changethreadsowner" is still uncached, because its not used quiet often and don't need to be cached.

How to install?- Simply import product

Woot first post :).

Ziki clicks install!

Looks like a very handy hack especially while you have multiple accounts as admin.

Thanks!

Installed .. Thanks :P

*installed*

is it possible, in the future, to also change the owner of a single post using this?

Nice hack, does it also change the owner of the first post?
And does it update postcounts?

Very Nice and useful too :) Installed and worked first time right out of the box without problem. Well done and thank you!

As I mentioned in the description: Yes, this is planned for an update.

Yes, it changes the first post, too. It also updates postcount.

If only this had come out a few days sooner.!

What a great April Fools joke it could have been used for.. ;)
