Restore Posts and Threads of Deleted User.
 

Has it ever happen to you when a user in a moment of angry deletes his/her account and later comes back? Or his/her account was deleted by the evil admin and all his/her posts appear as guests? If it has happen, then this mod is for you.

With this mod you can assign back his/her posts and threads. All the user has to do is to register again, be that with the same username as before or a new one. Then you can reassign back all their posts.

I know that this can be also done with a query at phpmyadmin, but this mod is meant to make it easier for those that are not so tech swavy and are not familiar with phpmyadmin and are afraid of messing things up.

Installation:

To install the mod, upload the includes folder to your forum root folder and then import the Restore Posts And Threads.xml file inside the mod package to Plugins&Products in the acp of your forum. Then go to the mod setting option: Restore Deleted User. It can be found on the left side of the Admin Panel, right above the Maintenace section. And enter the information accordingly.

Note: After assigning the posts and/or threads, go to: Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters and run the Rebuild Thread Information, Rebuild Forum Information, Update User Names, Update Post Counts.

Note, before you run the last option ( Update Post Counts), read the description under the title.

I was just looking for something like that and tested it so far so good.
Great job.

Thank you for your feedback :)

Thanks m8, this looks like a great mod...

Installed

its a great mod. now we can tens- free while deleting any thread

Glad that you guys like it :)

Thanks have wanted something like this for a while, and now will be able to test it out as well. Will report back any issues.

You can not "delete" a user when deleting a thread/post. It's a separate function from the admincp to prune an account.

Is it 100% necessary to run the last option, if you dont would that mean the reassigned user wont have a post count for all their posts? If so, couldnt we just view all posts by the user and stick in their post count from there?

Thanks.

I guess you can do it like that as well by entering the post count manually at their profile when editing the user in your Acp.
