Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Change Threads/Posts Owner/Date for vB4

Change Posts Owner

Created by Marius Czyz aka Phalynx. Converted to vBulletin 4 by Speedy1505.

Tested on vBulletin 4.0.3 and 4.0.4

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.

How to disable the display of "started by" and date by default? i.e, to only show username of thread creator?

I know this isn't related to this plugin directly.

Hello,

is it possible to allow some other usergroups besides the admins to change postowners?

Yes, check the setting Change thread/Posts Owner - "Use group permission"

Hmm i remember that i saw those options in 4.0.3 but i can't find them in 4.0.5...

[laebshade]

Neat mod. Is there any way for this to work with Calendar Events?

[Bellethiel]

And are you sure that it works with 4.0.5? I really can't find the options for that where i could set some usergroups. I even reinstalled the addon and still nothing...
