Alternate User Posting

Bugreport; When editing a posting (changing the username) which happens to be the id_first_msg of a topic, the id_member_started is NOT changed in smf_topics.

I hope this can be fixed, also I'm looking for a query which fixes this for previous changed postings. A sort of loop trough all topics, and check if the id_member_started in smf_topics is the same as the id_member for that id_message in smf_messages. If not, overwrite the id_member_started with id_member.

I hope this is clear enough, sorry :)

There is a small XHTML validation error in Post.template.php.

Fix
find:
  <script type="text/javascript"><!-- // -->
            var oMemberSuggest = new smc_AutoSuggest({

replace with:
  <script type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
            var oMemberSuggest = new smc_AutoSuggest({

Noticed an issue where when posting as an alternate user, the email alert still has the name "{POSTERNAME}" of the logged in user, instead of the user posted as.
Can anyone confirm this and/or tell me how to correct it?

I managed to fix the issue with the below small changes.

In Subs-Post.php

$topicData[$row['id_topic']] = array(
  'subject' => $row['subject'],
  'body' => $row['body'],
  'last_id' => $row['id_last_msg'],
  'topic' => $row['id_topic'],
  'name' => $user_info['name'], <-- change to $row['poster_name']
  'exclude' => '',
);


In Post.php

$notifyData = array(
  'body' => $_POST['message'],
  'subject' => $_POST['subject'],
  'name' => $user_info['name'],
  'poster' => $user_info['id'], <-- change to isset($alt_name) && $alt_name != '' ? $alt_name : $user_info['name']
  'msg' => $msgOptions['id'],
  'board' => $board,
  'topic' => $topic,
);

For some reason this did not work for me,
I am admin of my site and create 2 post as a different user but the poster name shows as administrator not the person whom I posted as?

Hello the name of the former member is not changing

Good nickname


Bad nickname

The mod doesn't change id_member_started in table SMF_Toppics when you replace name of member in first message.
Who can solve this problem? ;)
Thanks

Can you make it that some can only use "change poster"?

I'm assuming that since the mod's creator hasn't been on for more than a year that this is a dead mod. I had been interested in this mod for the rare occasion of missing / corrupt post replacements.

I had gleaned the thread and it looks as the first post in a topic can't be correctly attributed to an alternate member, is that still the case? That would be pretty important to me using the mod as an admin. With that in mind, does the mod correctly attribute the post to the alternate user so they can modify and/or edit it themselves?

Thanks in advance.

I found this Problem also.
After changing the First Post in a topic,
the Topic is still listed as Started from the previous Starter/Owner.

Maybe theres a need to implement another DB Update !?
Is it really only needed to change the ID in only the SMF_Toppics ?

This mod is useful for handling multiple profiles.  One thing I would love to see is an automatic update of the alternate user's "last login time".  It would be nice to have that updated as the greater of it's previous value and the timestamp of the alternate post/edit.

Since this mod was updated on February 13 of this year, I'll assume it's OK to necro this post to ask a question. If it's not ok, I do apologize.

Is there a way to limit the number or names of approved users?

Ex, person A is limited to only posting as themselves, user B, or User C but not user D?

Thanks!

Anyone know if this is still supported and whether it will be updated for 2.1 compatability?

This mod is still working for current versions (SMF 2.0.x)
Will be updated eventually for 2.1. I currently don't have enough time for doing it, but will happen at some point in the next few months perhaps, hopefully soon.

need a bit of help please :)
in sources/sub-posts.php

I can not find
'current_member' => $posterOptions['id'],

and I can't find
$topicOptions['id'], $posterOptions['id'], $msgOptions['id'])
I do however have
$topicOptions['id'], $posterOptions['id'], $msgOptions['subject'], $msgOptions['body'],
so if i just replace it like
$topicOptions['id'], !empty($posterOptions['real_id']) ? $posterOptions['real_id'] : $posterOptions['id'],  $msgOptions['subject'], $msgOptions['body'],]),
would that be ok?

I think that this and the post anonymously mod don't really work together maybe......
any help?

everything else passes, it's just those two things that are giving errors on the install....

Diego Andrés

1.
Code (Search) Select
'current_member' => $original_id,
Code (Replace) Select
'current_member' => !empty($posterOptions['real_id']) ? $posterOptions['real_id'] : $original_id,,

2.
Code (Search) Select
array($topicOptions['id'], $original_id, $msgOptions['id']),
Code (Replace) Select
$topicOptions['id'], !empty($posterOptions['real_id']) ? $posterOptions['real_id'] : $original_id, $msgOptions['id'])

Haven't tested it tho
