Change Post Author - IP.Board 4.x

Featured Replies

Got the latest version installed (1.2.0), but lost it's functionality after IPS update (using default IPS template).

Am I missing something?

I'd like to see the author name change follow permission rules. 

For instance I can post using a members name into the moderators forum who does not have access to that forum.

I have installed version 2.0 with my Invision 4.5, however I am not seeing the plugin working correct and cannot find the 'change post author' link inside my topics. Anyone else having this issue?

Yes, we've also lost the plugin functionality now that we've upgraded Invision (4.5.4). I'm guessing this plugin needs updated? Hoping for an update soon...

Are you using the IPS Default (Default) theme?

Edit:
Still working for me using the default them.
However, not working with a third party theme.

Awww, no, we use a customized theme. We were using a custom theme before the upgrade though and it worked fine. 

SIGH. This should be fun. 

ETA: I checked using default theme and it doesn't work for us either way.

I have 12 customized themes, and none of them are showing the [Change Author] button.

However, as mentioned in my previous post, it shows and works fine with the IPS Default one.

Is there any news? My clients always contact me to tell me that the button to change author has disappeared...

  • 7 months later...

With 4.6.x it still seems to work.

Is it officically compatible? If yes, please update it so the marketplace correctly shows it

Still works on my forum too.

Looks like the author has not been on this forum in about 8-9 months so probably little chance of it being updataed

You're basing that on the author of this topic still being the owner of the resource - check again.

Sorry I forgot InvisionHQ had taken over the plugin and I actually have purchased it and use it and it still works fine on 4.6

Is it possible to change username of article comments, reviews? Thanks.

Phew! Love to hear that. I came here searching. 

Wondering if @InvisionHQ would be willing to take a look and confirm? And possibly update the file information? 😇  Would be greatly appreciated! It's a great plugin!

Hello, I know how to install plugins (XML) but there is no xml, how to install this plugin. Thank you for your answer. 4.5.6

Thank you for the 4.6 update! 

But it would have been much better if the option was placed inside the post options rather than next to the quote buttons.

I can't buy a plugin. @-RAW- this hook will it still be on sale?

The new owner of this plugin is @InvisionHQ, and I have no clue why he disabled purchases at this time. 

Perhaps because his license is expired.

@InvisionHQ

I can't agree more because it's not a daily use to change a post author or @InvisionHQ might add settings to place it next the quote and another option to place it with post options.

Welcome back @InvisionHQ any word on above suggestion? Thanks

What difference does it make? I change it from inside the post, it's just at the bottom:

It's like you just using a plugin to relocate the report button from the post options to the bottom of the post while both options working fine.

I'm having an issue installing this.

I bought this and went to the market place and searched for this and then clicked the install button and then my web browser froze and had to close it out. Went to 'install" again and got an error , "There was a problem loading this content." popup.

How do I check to see if it installed or is installed?

Tried again and my brower is frozen again? Is it working in the background?
