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)

nice, i just want to know before installing this if it can change the name of the social group discussion and post too ?

thanks in advance

It can only change threads/posts of normal forums. Changing SG' discussion is a nice addition, will think about it.

Just a note: I'm on holidays from today up tu thursday (29 January). No support will be given in this time.

[scabbed]

yes it would be a nice idea if you manage to do it.

for example, i really want to move some threads to the social groups and i can't do it... with your mod, i can copy paste the thread to a new discussion and after change my name of each post to the real poster name

long way but sure way ^^

'have nice holidays

Today, I needed to change the owner of a post from "Guest" to the name of a new member, and your mod did the job.

Thanks!

Very nice, but the clock seems to be off. It would be nice if it could match the current logged in user's time settings.

For example, if I want to change a post with time 08:44 PM, then I get 14:44:23 in the edit box. This is off with 4 hours.

Seems a problem on international boards by chaning post date.
