Post As An Alternative User

Important!!!: You should uninstall the mod Admin Can Post As An Alternative User mod, if you have, before installing this mod.

This modification adds the feature of posting as an alternative user.

While posting, a checkbox for activating the feature and a textbox for the user id to post as is appeared under the Additional Options for the user who has the needed permission.

Also, if the user id is left blank or set to zero the post is sent as a guest named "Forum Staff".

You can give the permission from

Admin CP >> Permissions

Mod is originally coded by karlbenson and taken over by [SiNaN].

Glad to see someone else taking the reigns on another karlbenson mod. Good luck to you, [SiNaN].

Just a couple suggestions:
-Allow a "default" ID to be set via admin CP. One that could be changed in the post, but if the post box is left blank, it will take the default setting instead. That way, lazy admins who aren't big on the technical side of SMF don't have to learn user IDs.
-Allow usernames/display names to be entered as well, similar to the PM recipient box on the Send New Message page..

Thanks bro [SiNaN].

A while ago, I was trying to put the ID number box in the post form using the old/original version.  With your release of this MOD, I can sitback now and have some coffee.  Hehehe.

Thanks again bro.

I ran across this the other day... one member erased her account but them wanted back... well the post that she made became "guest" and I wanted to use this mod to change the "guest" to her new account, just to bust her post ranks... anyway, I couldn't.  Could you add the posibility to change the guest posts to registered users?

Thanks!

Hımmm, understand Elina. I'll make a default. Also in next version, I was planning to do it this usernames as in the pm sending.

This mod will not do that. But you can do it with just changing the message's posterid from the database.

Dannbass, SMF 2.0 Beta 3 Public has that feature now.

Dannbass, SMF 2.0 Beta 3 Public has that feature now.

Should be I think.

Is it the same as you told?

[dannbass]

Thanks a lot both of you! I haven't check 2.0 yet, don't get me wrong, I was yesterday at 7 pm all crazy and stuff, and really excited! I'll check that function as soon as I take it for a test drive in my XAMPP

Thanks!

[Eliana Tamerin]

It's under Admin CP > Maintenance > Forum Maintenance > Common Tasks > "Reattribute User Posts"

[dannbass]

Cool!! thanks a lot Eliana!

[Eliana Tamerin]

No problem. Glad you figured it out. I think [SiNaN]'s Change Poster of the Message mod should be out soon, so you'll be able to use that functionality in 1.1.4 as well.

[Chopper]

How do you get this mod to function??

[Eliana Tamerin]

When you post, you can find the options under "Additional Options." You can also control who has permission to use this under Admin CP > Permissions.

If I edit the post by "member 1" and I am "member 2", will the post by member 1 be one of my posts?

[Apllicmz]

If I edit the post by "member 1" and I am "member 2", will the post by member 1 be one of my posts?

No. It just changes the user edited as member1. My new mod is going to do what you say.
