Admin Edit of Post Username & Dateline · **Released**: 09-14-2005

This product will allow Administrators to edit the username and/or the date & time of posts.

It's fairly no-frills but may be of use to others - I use it because at present I am going back through some threads to insert a post at the beginning to act as topic info and also I like to post updates under a particular username which isn't my preferred login. Yes I'm lazy enough that posting and then editing the uername is easier than logging in the other account!

Details:
3 plugin locations (one to cache template)
1 new template
1 added query to match username to userid
Applies edit username/dateline permission to usergroupid 6.

note:
If you edit the dateline for a post and alter which is the first or last post in a thread then you'll need to rebuild thread info from admncp maintenance. (Not strictly needed for changing the last post as this will be updated when the thread is next posted in.)

As I say, no frills; very simply does what it does and no more. I think the code may be a bit of a fudge in places to work around weirdness I couldn't think to sort any other way so if you know better please share!

Nice, I was looking for this in Aug. of 2005 because a moderator went crazy and deleted most of the threads, so I had to go back and restore everything except for some reason the dates were deleted.

Also, will this work for vb 3.5.3 ?

It's great

I want to set permission by userid, would you please consider adding it to your hack or tell me how to do it

dutchbb · #18 02-18-2006, 03:42 PM

this is just what I was looking for! Before this I would need to go to the database and change those things there.

Great mod, will use it alot thanks!

Awesome just what I needed. Had some date issues on my forum and though I was gonna have to delete all the posts. You saved me thanks man :up:

Is there any way to change to a guest user?
I use this plugin to change unwanted guest usernames but I am only able to change to registered usernames.

Does anyone know if this will work with 3.6x ?

It is exactly what I want. I need to change dates. I know there is another out there https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=98737&page=4 but I don't want to install that one.

This one is simple and only does what I need, so it is ideal. I am just nervous about installing it and it fouling something up in 3.6 - if that is possible..

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
