Moving posts from one user to another...

[BirdOPrey5]

I don't know what the variable name is for the userid, but I'm guessing you do since you are already displaying it so for the example I will call is $userid...

<if condition="$userid = 750">
$user_display_id = 2;
<else />
$user_display_id = $userid;
</if>

Then change wherever you display $userid to $user_display_id and it will over-ride the number for user '750' in this example with '2'

Thanks so much, but can you edit it I did not know the variables name, here is the code:

PHP Code:

    <div class="smallfont">
                &nbsp;<br />
                <if condition="$post['joindate']">
                <input type="text" name="Date" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]" class="alt1 infouser" />
                </if>

                <input type="text" name="ID" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[userid] : $post[userid]" class="alt1 infouser" />
                <if condition="$post['field2']">
                <input type="text" name="location" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[location_perm] : $post[field2]" class="alt1 infouser" />
                </if>

I'm sorry I just tested this and it does not work. I forgot you can't do php in a template, so there's no way of setting/changing the variables. I don't know if there's a way around this but the code would have been this:

PHP Code:

<div class="smallfont"> 
                &nbsp;<br /> 
                <if condition="$post['joindate']"> 
                <input type="text" name="Date" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]" class="alt1 infouser" />
                </if> 

<if condition="$post[userid]= 750">
    $user_display_id = 2;
<else />
    $user_display_id = $post[userid];
</if>

                <input type="text" name="ID" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[userid] :  $user_display_id" class="alt1 infouser" />
                <if condition="$post['field2']"> 
                <input type="text" name="location" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[location_perm] : $post[field2]" class="alt1 infouser" />
                </if> 


But like I said, it doesn't work... Maybe someone else knows if there is way of doing this?

OK, I see what you have to do is add the php code to a plugin... in 100% honesty I have never done this before so I don't want to even guess at how to do it, I doubt it would work- but maybe someone else could tell you the code you'd need to put in the plugin... I guess my issue is if $post[userid] is available to the plugin... if so it would be relatively simple... OK this might be a tremendous waste of time and I strongly urge you to backup your forum first or better yet try this on a test board first...

In Admin CP go to Plugins and Products -> add new plugin

Hook Location: global_start
Title: UserID Override
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:

   if ($post[userid] = 750)
      $user_display_id = 2;
   else
      $user_display_id = $post[userid]; 


Of course change the numbers 750 and 2 to fit your needs.
Save Plugin...

And then change the code in the template you gave me above to:

PHP Code:

<div class="smallfont"> 
                &nbsp;<br /> 
                <if condition="$post['joindate']"> 
                <input type="text" name="Date" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]" class="alt1 infouser" />
                </if> 

                <input type="text" name="ID" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[userid] : $user_display_id" class="alt1 infouser" />
                <if condition="$post['field2']"> 
                <input type="text" name="location" size="25" dir="rtl" value="$vbphrase[location_perm] : $post[field2]" class="alt1 infouser" />
                </if> 


And if all that works it would be a fricken miracle... please let me know if you decide to try it.

immm I guess I would not try that .. but I have an idea... now I just want to delete all posts of the user 2 and remain the user.. can I do that?

--------------- Added [DATE]1276257027[/DATE] at [TIME]1276257027[/TIME] ---------------

or at least make his posts related to anonymous membership and make his posts 0

You may delete all his post in admincp > threads & Posts > prune > prune by username. Or search for user > select Find all post by user > then select them all > user Moderation Tools to delete them.
