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)

I get this error message when trying to change a thread author or date:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I am on vB 4.2.1

[Dr. HaZaRd]

Ciao! When I change the post owner, the change is not visible on the Stream (is always visible the old post owner).

Every time I have to go to ACP -> Maintenance -> Update Stream Counters.

Just me?

Thank!

[ozzy47]

No I doubt it is just you, this mod was made before the activity stream, so it probably don't update that info. Just a guess, as I have not tried the mod.

[Dr. HaZaRd]

Probably yes... Unfortunately I'm not able to solve the problem..

Thank you ozzy

With this fix I can confirm that the mod works fine on 4.2.2 PL1

[LexLuthor]

It works, but with my custom style, the layout looks so much destroyed...
Special chars also broken, have to fix manual over phrases.
