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.

Good use of the inline moderation -- saves going in the database.

Would be great in vbulletin made this default code, though.

is there anyway to add options to change post date and time?
changing posts date and time is a good feature that moderators can sort best thread's posts.

great hack......people may ask why u need this hack??? I would provide u with reasons. Say u are transfering from PHPBB3 forum to vbulletin and u find that the post owners are not matching , then u can easily change the post owner to match the same.

Anyways Phalynx i have a query . How can i put this option in the moderator menu in "search all the post by user" . I want to trasfer bulk post from one user a/c to another so i think if i can put this is the moderator menu in "search all the post by user" then that would have helped me .

thnkx
