Change Threads/Posts Owner

A version compatible with vBulletin 3.7 GOLD can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178208

What does this hack do?
It can change the owner of multiple threads and post. For this, it adds another option to your mod actions on forumdisplay and showthread. After selecting some threads or posts, you can choose the new owner by name or UserID. By name works with the AJAX namesuggestion, we all know it from writing a PM. After changing the name(s), it rebuilds thread/forum counters.

This hack makes use of phrases, simple group permissions and is creating an entry into the moderation log.

Tested only on vB 3.5.4, but should work also for vB 3.5.0 up to 3.5.4

Contains: 8 phrases, 3 additional templates, 2 Options
Installtime: <1 minutes
Difficulty: easy (1 product)

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

Please click INSTALL, otherwise I will not support you.

Changes from 1.0:
-Ability to change also the owner of posts. If you change the owner of the firstpost, the owner of the thread will be also changed

- Added group permission. This works not with Bitfields, because I didn't want to have a file to upload. Instead, you can enter usergroups that should have access to that feature. Due to performance, it is checked only by calling the function, the links are showed for all mods. If you don't enter any group, the forum permission is checked (like it was in 1.0).

- Added possibility to enter also the UserID of a user

- "forumdisplay_changethreadsowner" is still uncached, because its not used quiet often and don't need to be cached.

How to install?- Simply import product


Options are not displayed. How do I add them manually?
If you choose to not automatically add both options you have to add that options manually.

1. Disable automatic template edit in the Change threads/posts owner settings


2. Open the template FORUMDISPLAY.

Search for:

<option value="mergethread">$vbphrase[merge_threads]</option>

Add after it:

<option value="changethreadsowner">$vbphrase[changethreadsowner_link]</option>

3. Open the template SHOWTHREAD

Search for:

<option value="undeleteposts">$vbphrase[undelete_posts]</option>

Add after it:

<option value="changepostsowner">$vbphrase[changethreadsowner_link]</option>

can you make it bye member number insted of name
and make a group permission to use this

[ben_erhan]

in my opinion this is very nice.
but if it has a group permission it will be better.

thanks

Installed on 3.5.4! But it didn't work for me! I tried to troubleshoot it myself, it only added 2 templates in each style, and some phrases. But when I look in forumdisplay there is no option for "change threads owner" or when I look at showthread. any ideas?
