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)

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

Hi,

I installed this mod a year ago and it works for threads but now i want to change the owner of one post in a thread and surprisingly the option to change the user does not show up in the drop down menu.

Any hints for me!?

Regards

Nils

PS.: vB 3.8.4

Did you changed manually the templates? Installed a hack that is also hooking into this drop down?
I'm hooking into an existing template hook.

I made only a few slide changes via TMS, but nothing in this drop down. But i installed the Moderator Checkpoint System that adds two points in this drop down. After i disabled that everything is allright and the option to change the user does now show up.

Thank you :up: !

Regards Nils

It seems the Moderator Checkpoints System is overwriting existing hooks.
