Change Content Owner or Date 2.0.15

[Mikethemix]

Do you have plans for such an add-on?

 

[TickTackk]

Not at this moment.

 

[Ozzy47]

Can this be used on posts in bulk?

 

[Chromaniac]

yup. option appears in the bottom mod bar. it does result in an error if you end up selecting a redirect thread though .

 

[beerForo]

For threads and posts both, yes.

 

[Ozzy47]

Cool. What if the persons posts I’m reassigning are older than the member they are being assigned to?

 

[El Porcharo]

You can change the date and time also

​

 

[Ozzy47]

But I have many to do, so I’d rather not change the date.

 

[El Porcharo]

OMG

 

[Ozzy47]

Yeah. Is there an issue if the post is older than the members?

 

[Mikethemix]

From my experience with this excellent add-on, you must only change one parameter at a time. Eg change owner (one one or many posts, threads, photos).
And then change date (as a separate action), and then change time, each as a separate action.
If I attempt to change two things at the same time I get an error message.

You can even change the date to something in the future!

Brilliant and very very useful

I've actually never faced that but well.. is that user a staff member?
I'm manually changing user join date from the database, without any issue 'till now. If it's a bunch of user you can just change that and that's it

I don't think there would be any issue in both cases, anyway

change date (as a separate action), and then change time, each as a separate action

I'm not sure, but I remember I changed date and time together without any issues on a couple of posts

I don’t want to change the date, I just want to reassign old post from X to a new member Y.

So set registration date of new user before the oldest post of the reassigned posts?

 

[El Porcharo]

Yep!

I'm just changing this value in xf_user



with the help of this timestamp conversion tool

 

[Ozzy47]

That’s probably the way I’ll go then.

 

[El Porcharo]

but I believe you won't have any issue if the registration date is newer than the posts, it would only be a sort of strange mismatch-thing to other members

 

[Ozzy47]

So how do I batch change all of user X post/threads to user Y?

 

[El Porcharo]

I see you can't do that from the user content list, but seems to be doable from within forums, if you filter by user

The bad side is that you'll have to do it for each section/page, but it's still better than doing it one by one

 

[Ozzy47]

Filter only does “Started by” do that only does threads.
