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)

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled? Working fine on 4.1.0 PL2 like the person above me said. Have had it on the site for a while.

Just installed in 4.1PL2, and its great. I've just migrated to vb4 with CMS and wanting to promote a history of forum based articles into the CMS and bring along the comments. This lets me change the date of the first post in each comments thread to be prior to all the comments. Perfect.

One suggestion would be to do something to identify the month and day in the form... you are using European style and so in the US people are going to get confused. Either match the date format used in the forum, or just label the fields M, D, and Y so the user knows. Thanks.

How are you supposed to install this? I tried uploading the xml file in the Style Manager and merging it into my current style, that did not come out well.

In fact, the page for generating a new style is messed up in my AdminCP.

I can't access anything now.

Everything is messed up.

[Phalynx]

Products should be installed via AdminCP, Plugins & Products, Manage Products, Add/Import Product

I suppose you need to fix it by recreating the default style. Copy the tools.php from your installation to your server and execute it. There you can restore the default templates.

[Skermefaten]

That didn't work for me, any other solutions?

If I reinstall my forums, what information will be saved in my database?

[Phalynx]

By a reinstall you are losing all of your content. I suggest to ask someone from the vBulletin staff.
