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)

Works fine in vb 4.1.4, but definitely damages the template!
Installed and already helped out!

Thanks

I've found a bug.
While changing date of post to make it the first `parentid` field is not set to 0.
So it causes indefinite loop while moving any other posts in this thread.

Heya, I'm using the Smart Friendly URLs (/showthread.php/id-title-stuff/) and I can't get this to work in 4.2.1. I'm not sure if it's a version-specific problem or whatever, but I can't actually find the option in my moderation tools. Is there any way to modify this mod in such a way that it will accept these URLs? I'm not positive that they're the problem, but they appear to be.

Here is the Romanian version of this plugin.

I just upgraded from 4.2.0PL3 to 4.2.2 and now I get this error on my test forum when trying to change the post's owner. How do I fix it? Do you need any more info?

Getting the message

Warning: Function split() is deprecated in ....\inlinemod.php(372) : eval()'d code on line 15

in 4.2.2. Is it possible to rewrite the mod to avoid the deprecated code? I was advised that in this case, explode() is a good substitute for split()

If you look above your post I'm getting the same error, also the alignment is a little screwy for me.
