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.

This is just what I'm looking for!
But I've got the same problem as Project Boredom here ..
I install the xml in adminCP, but no change in the moderation drop down menu.

Running vB 3.7.2 Patch Level 1

Project Boredom, I got it working now.
Are you maybe running a 3.6 version theme on your forum?
I changed to a 3.7 now and installed again, worked like a charm.

Cheers, creator of the great plugin!

Thanks, installed.

[Michigan Morels]

installed and it works TOO GOOD!

Never, never use this under the influence. LOL

I had an ex poster who was an A**h*le. I installed and thought I made all his post to "Ex-Member" but only one was attributed to that name. The rest of his 300 post went to MY NAME! LOL

Not a bug. I just forgot that I had checked "all post" before hand.

Live and learn eh?

Hello Phalynx,

did you mix up the release dates für the two versions? I can't believe you released 1.7 (4 June 2008) before 1.6 (19 June 2008) ;-)
