Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Change Threads/Posts Owner/Date for vB3.7

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.

Please click Mark as INSTALLED, otherwise I will not support you.

Please check if you have template hooks called:
inlinemod_thread_bottom
inlinemod_post_bottom

If yes, this mod should work. Otherwise you will have to edit the templates.

Sorry if this is a silly question....but where do I look for templates hooks?

2nd question..
How do I......1. Disable automatic template edit in the Change threads/posts owner settings... should I need to edit templates.

I could make good use of this mod with the ability to change date and time of the post/thread.
The previous version doesn't allow change of date/time...right?

Search in templates for inlinemod_thread_bottom and inlinemod_post_bottom

You would need to remove all plugins with name ends on (attach link)

How bout to port it for vb4 !

Nice mod but there is a bug: If time of post is changed, and then edited by a user from a usergroup with "Show edited by note on edited messages?" set to no, then edited message is shown despite it is set to no.

never mind, I figured it out, I was using the wrong version
