Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Change Threads/Posts Owner/Date for vB3.8

Change Posts Owner

Created by Marius Czyz aka Phalynx.

Tested on vBulletin 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8

What does this modification do?
It can change the owner and date of multiple threads and post. For this, it adds another option to your mod actions on forumdisplay, showthread and search results. After selecting some threads or posts, you can choose the new owner by name or by UserID. "By name" works with the AJAX namesuggestion, we all know it from writing a PM. After changing the name, it rebuilds thread/forum counters and post counter of old and new user. Attachments will also be assigned to new user.

Installtime: <1 minutes
Difficulty: very easy (1 product)

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

Fixed in next version.

Thanks.

I founded another little problem: if you have the "Assign IP Address" option set to 'Yes', when you change the author of a post/thread to a guest, and than you change it back to a member, no IP will be assigned to the post and it will still have no IP as when it belonged to a guest. It is possible to fix this too?

Just what the Doctor ordered.

Thank you for your contribution to the vB world... great work... look for a donation.

As a small note; I went to change the Timestamp only on a post to put it at the top of a thread, but it didn't take... I had to change/re-enter the Owner to the same as existing to get it to take.

Hi,

I want to change YEARS date of my froms, for example: all post from 2006 2007 convert them in 2008, but only the year. What do you suggest guys?

thanks

Silly question, but if I give my moderators access to it, can they only use it in their forums that they moderate, or can they do it in all forums?

[Phalynx]

If you define a group than only this group can do it, in every forum. If you leave that setting empty, it uses forum mod permissions.
