Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Change Threads/Posts Owner/Date for vB3.8

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)

I'm trying now to migrate this one, SocialForums for vB3.8 and Change Threads' Prefix Inline to vB4. But... whow ... almost one week over and I only saw, how much still to learn and understand... If someone wants to join me: Thanks!

Problem at the moment is not this code here but "YAHOO Dom", "how to put an addon into an xml" and similar... all the basics after the basics of templates, phrases and plugins. ...

I too would like this for 4. We imported the phpbb forum last night and discovered today a user was deleted and his posts turned into guest posts. Would like to attach them to his new account.

Add me to the list of waiting for a 4.0 version as I'm pending upgrade on both my boards and we find this mod invaluable.

Hope to see it soon.

Regards,

Alisa

When I try to change owners I end up with a page loading with realms and realms of coding. Just endless.
