No sir, I do not. I am literally offering only my experience of having installed other IPS plugins. By pure chance, these other plugins have needed tweaks to adapt to changes Invision made to their code. In these specific instances, the plugins then worked with the current and prior versions of IPS.

4.1:

		<ul class='ipsComment_controls ipsClearfix' data-role="commentControls">

4.2:

			<ul class='ipsComment_controls ipsClearfix ipsItemControls_left' data-role="commentControls">

That's the exact element the hook system "searchs" to extends. They're NOT the same, that's why a new version is required because hook system search for something and doesn't find. So what happens? Nothing is showed in the template!

Thank you, I appreciate the technical analysis. I will trust that the above means some plugins require a specific version for IPS 4.2.

I think the issue is language; something "compatible" with 4.2 literally doesn't preclude compatibility with prior versions. Also, as I have stated, other plugins we have used, for older versions of IPS, have not require separate versions. If the plugin had stated "4.2 required", I would have initially downloaded the previous version, 1.1.6.

Thanks for taking the time to explain why the change was necessary, it's not always clear why Invision mess with templates in this manner.

A very nice hook, thank you. It works perfectly on the latest IPS CS. Too lazy to create one myself, so I bought yours :-)

I only wanted to suggest you to expand functionality a bit: add Change Author field to topic editing form and to the bottom toolbar, which appears, when you select 1+ posts or topics. Shouldn't be to hard to implement, I guess. Definitely needed on topic editing form.

@InvisionHQ Just curious what happens to attachments in the posts when you move a topic or post to another user? thanks

Great plugin, but it doesn't work anymore on my forum since last week's security update, pity.

Thanks for letting me know it works for you.

Pity enough it doesn't for me; I disabled it, re-enabled, uninstalled and reinstalled it, all to no avail.

Maybe because a staff member had to fix something after I asked for support concerning the notifications which didn't work anymore:

I'll ask for support again.

Well, I re-opened the support and got some reply...

My support:

I've no idea if fixing this problem started an other one, but plugins which are at the bottom of posts are not there anymore since the fix;

Change Post Author and Go To Top plugins are not in posts anymore.

I posted that there's a problem in the author's post, but an other member replied it still works on his forum after the update from last week.

I know you do not support plugins, but it seems this happened after a staff member fixed the Notifications problem.

The answer I got:

This may well be the case, if the fix put in place affects how the 3rd party plugin works. We would not however assist with 3rd party applications, nor be responsible for resolving issues that any changes to the IPS software causes with 3rd party items. It would be for the developers of those items to correct them so that they work with the new files.

Are you using Default or 4.2 theme. It creates a 4.2 theme when you have something edited on Default when upgrading to 4.2. This is fine but it keeps using Default instead of new 4.2.

Thank you for replying.

To be honest I never changed the default theme. No looking in the themes folder I see I have 3 different ones:

But the plugins have also disappeared from the posts of my other themes that I bought.

Yes, that's why I posted. It won't appear if you're using 4.1 theme, usually called Defautl. 4.2 is the theme used on IPS 4.2. See: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/441672-topics-list/?do=findComment&comment=2724068

I would test the IPS Default to see how it goes.

That's what I did last week and sent the error to the support staff.

They fixed it, but it's after they did that my plugins disappeared.

@InvisionHQ

Has this plugin been tested with IPS 4.3?

I've been using it with 4.3, but there's a new release to 4.3.2, and I haven't updated yet to test it.

I just purchased this plugin and am using it on IPS 4.3.5.  Works like a charm.

I do have a couple of (minor?) suggestions:

1. Would it be possible to have an option to email/PM the new topic/post owner to let them know that authorship of whatever has been attributed to them?
2. Would it be possible to filter for possible authors, e.g. not list authors who don't have permission to post/view the given forum or topic?  It might help idiot-proof things in case an admin fat-fingers the menu and accidentally choose the wrong author.

Other than that it works great...thanks!

Does this work on Articles? I bought it thinking it would work across the entire suite. I don't see any description saying that it is restricted to certain apps. Thanks! It works great for Forum, though. [edit: and yes, I know about the acp clunky way of changing author for articles]

The capability is built into ips for articles.

Oh I know about the clunky behind the scenes function, but just wanted something more convenient like this to work like it does for the forum posts. No biggie, but it would be awesome.

A very similar plugin posted on the marketplace today. Is this/that something different?

 

I was also wondering if this might be extended to changing blog post authors as well?

Is it possible to choose the new author before sending the message?

Hi,

If we change the author, the new author can edit the topic or not?

Sure thing. He will get all privilenges (and limits) as the old author.

Weird,

seems not actually, maybe something wrong with permissions...

It's changing core tables author_id field so it must work correctly. It's mine opinion after reviewed the code.
