Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Change Threads/Posts Owner/Date for vB3.7

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)

Demo is not available, due to missing permissions on my board.

Please click Mark as INSTALLED, otherwise I will not support you.

installed works perfectly. Thank you!

This is a great mod. The only thing missing is the ability to subscribe the new owner to their new thread.

For example,
- create a thread >
- change owner >
- subscribe new owner to the new thread >
- and then when it gets replies, the new owner will be made aware of it.

Right now you'll have to email or PM the new owner, otherwise he/she will never know it exists.

I'd code it myself, if I knew how.

is there a way so that supermoderators can change post author?

[Phalynx]

The permission to change author is bound to the ability to moderate a thread, so supermoderators should be able to use it over the whole forum - beside the usergroup defined in settings.
