Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Restore Posts and Threads of Deleted User. (New Version)

Has it ever happen to you when a user in a moment of angry deletes his/her account and later comes back? Or his/her account was deleted by the evil admin and all his/her posts appear as guests? If it has happen, then this mod is for you.

With this mod you can assign back his/her posts and threads. All the user has to do is to register again, be that with the same username as before or a new one. Then you can reassign back all their posts.

I know that this can be also done with a query at phpmyadmin, but this mod is meant to make it easier for those that are not so tech swavy and are not familiar with phpmyadmin and are afraid of messing things up.

Installation:

To install the mod, upload the admincp and includes folders to your forum root folder maintenaning the structure intact and then import the Restore Posts And Threads.xml file inside the mod package to Plugins&Products in the acp of your forum.

To make use of the mod go to the Maintenance area at your acp, click the drop down list and you will see a new option added called: Restore Deleted User. Click on it and configure it accordinly.

Note: After assigning the posts and/or threads, go to: Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters and run the Rebuild Thread Information, Rebuild Forum Information, Update User Names, Update Post Counts.

Note, before you run the last option ( Update Post Counts), read the description under the title.



If you will need support with this mod, then please post at the mod thread at my forum. Thanks

That seems like it will require some work and I don''t have so much free time now to spend into creating bigger mods.

It will work. I have tested it thoroughly multiple times before submitting it.

Be careful when you install this script
my DB was 300 MB
now it increased to 900 MB

The support of my hosting are trying to help me and nothing worked.
For some reason this script increased the DB
My site is slow now.

Suddenly need a lot of RAM

How many posts were restored when you used this mod? The mod itself doesn''t affect the db in that way. It simply runs the query needed to assign back the posts of the deleted user.
