Russian language files
Excellent mod, just what we needed to allow us to enter trip details en masse and then allocate to organisers as they volunteer.
Just one minor niggle. The "Attribute posts to member: " has a dropdown that shows valid member as you type
It would be nice if this feature was also available with the
"Attribute guest posts made with
Username of " field.

I noticed that the topics are not attributed, only the posts, and also the new posts are not added to the post count.

Thank you for creating this as I think it is what I am looking for, but I cannot yet get it to function.
I am running 2.0 with the default theme. I recently brought my database over from bbpress. All of the posts are there, but the post count only recognizes new posts. I was hoping to use this mod to update the post counts.
I think the checkbox I need to use on your mod is the "Attribute not guest posts:" but the box will not stay checked. I have installed the mod through the package installer and manually with the same result.
Thank you for your attention.

I am sorry, but this MOD not is for recount posts of members. This MOD only addition/subtraction number of post reattributed to total count of post each member.
I do not know how recount posts of members. Perhaps exists something in admin panel...
Ok, thank you for the quick response. I did not understand what I was looking for and you gave me the clue I needed. I did find the mod I needed here.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2324 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2324)
And then I needed the file in this topic to apply those counts to the post count groups.

Yes, my English is poor :(
If you want, you can re-write my English/English-British translate ;) (In this MOD and all my MODs, if you can, of course).
No problem, i'm happy to be able to help. :) I've sent you a PM so you can explain how to proceed.

Will this mod allow me to attribute guest posts (made with a particular username/email) to a registered user account?
The built in feature in SMF will let you do that...
The problem with the built in feature is that the posts still display as a guest account (albeit with the registered account name), and I want them to be a registered account post.
No, the feature in core SMF reattributes the posts properly. I mean, it works just fine given that it's happened to my account in the past.

So I have this mod installed on a forum that's running 2.0.7. I'm trying to reattribute the first post in a topic where the act of an admin editing the original user's post for some reason... attributed it to that admin? I've tried reassigning the post a couple of times -- I've made sure I'm entering the post number, not the topic number, checking the "reattribute to/from registered user" option, and selecting the user I want to reattribute to from the dropdown list that pulls up when I start typing in their username. However, when I click the Reattribute button, I get an empty dialogue box. The page then reloads and says that the post has been reattributed successfully -- except it hasn't. It's still showing up as having been posted by the admin who edited the post.

It seems that you do it right.
Can you make screen images
- with fillings fields (before clicking), and
- With dialog box (after clicking)
?
What is the language of your forum?
I attached the screenshots to this post: the first one demonstrates how I'm entering the information; the second is the empty dialogue box; the third is what displays after I check "Ok" on the dialogue box.
My forum is in English.
Thank you for your time!

I have users that forgot they were registered on the forum I admin already, so they made a new account. Then later they remembered their original account, and started using that again. I'm basically trying to merge their new accounts into their original account, but it isn't working. I've tried entering both usernames, and I've tried doing it one post at a time by post ID. The checkbox for "Attribute registered member posts" is not checkable. Screenshot attached to show the settings I'm using, and this is the post ID URL:

If you want reattribute post from a registered member (member1) to other registered member (member2), you must to do this:
1. Write username of member1 in
Attribute guest posts made with - Username of.
2. Leave empty the field
Attribute specific posts (you want attribute all posts).
2. Write an old date in
Attribute posts based on time (for example 2000-01-01; you want attribute all posts).
4. Check
Attribute registered member posts. Before of this you must write time (this is for security, reattribute all post between registered members can be an error).
5. Write username of member2 in
Attribute posts to member.
If member1 has many posts, perhaps you should to do this some times more.
When member1 has not posts, you can delete member1.
Thanks for the info! It worked! It seems unnecessary to require entering a random old date to get the mod to function. Perhaps you can remove that requirement?
Also, I assume that if I delete the unnecessary account, all the PM's and profile information will be lost. Is that correct? Profile information is unimportant, and can easily be re-entered. But PM's cannot be preserved in any simply way. Maybe it's possible to reattribute PM's too?

Yes, it is unnecessary but I created this requirement for security. Without this you can attribute all post to another member by an error.

Yes, if you remove an user you remove his PMs. And I do not known if exists some function or mod for reattribute PMs. It can be an enhancement for next update of this mod, perhaps in some months...

2. Write an old date in Attribute posts based on time (for example 2000-01-01; you want attribute all posts).
Sorry, that is non-intuitive nonsense.
That should be done by default WITHOUT having to enter that.

Err what?
Nevertheless: This does work.
Only that it is very little intuitive.
(Who thinks so weird?)

I know it is hard but you must write specific posts or a date for security. If this requirement does not exist, all posts may be assigned by mistake.
Not very intuitive... yes! This area is used only by administrators: these are "advanced users".

About this... Private messagues are PRIVATE. I can not attribute to another account. Sorry.
Systen administrator can access to database and do this manually.

This is not working for me but maybe i misunderstand what it should do ?
I have username "oldguy" with a few posts but need to rename (not just displayed name) them to "newguy" and reattribute all of oldguy's posts to newguy (essentially a name change) but i have 2 problems:
1. Reassign posts made by registered member/s to another member checkbox is "greyed out" and even if i fiddle it by typing x and 0 in 2 fields above it then i can now tick the checkbox (and later remove x and 0)
2. It doesn't work either way and i have no errors, it says that it worked but all of oldguy's posts are still there and newguy's are empty.
any idea where i am going wrong ?

Why not just change their username. In Modify Profile > Account Settings. Directly under where it says Username there's a link that says change. It will show you a warning, "To change this member's username, the forum must also reset their password, which will be emailed to the member with their new username."
hey, so it does.
i never noticed that before.
mission accomplished ! thank you for your time.
Yes, in your case is best renaming the user.
About your question (reattribute all posts from user oldguy to user newguy), you must fill these fields:
- Attribute guest posts made with: (*) Username of [oldguy]
- Attribute posts based on time: Date [1980-01-01] (You want reattribute all posts, I suppose this date is enought low!)
- Attribute registered member post: [X] (before check this you must enter a date)
- Attribute posts to member: [newguy]
i see. thanks as it wasn't obvious to me.
the mod will still come in handy even though i was helped get around my problem.
