How to copy a user? Or move posts to a different username?

[oldford]

I have an odd situation where I need to split up a user into two accounts. Some posts need to stay with the old account and some with the new.

Is there a way (through phpMyAdmin I'm guessing) to duplicate a user? I could then go back and delete the posts for each.

Or is there a way to move posts from one account to another?

Thanks!

No way to do what you are after that I am aware of.

You can however create another account.
Install Change Threads/Posts Owner/Date for vB3.8 read description, instructions change all the threads/post you want in the new accounts name.
Have fun!

You can use the "Merge Users" functionality in the admincp (which will move all data to the other account) or update the thread/post table in the database manually.

Thead table needs the postuserid and postusername changed and the post table needs the userid and username changed.

Merging accounts wont do what he/she is wanting to do, he/she wants to more or less split an account and move some data, not all.

Might have to use the database & copy all the users posts to the new user on phpmyadmin or navicat.

Excellent! That works perfectly. Thanks!

I did search for a mod, but I guess I wasn't using the right search terms.
