Plugin to change 'date' and 'author' [paid]

datitisev

vij You can do that by going into the database.

For the date, you can change date in a post element, and for the author, just change the userId to someone else's.

vij

@datitisev Il be doing this multiple times a day, hence database tinkering wouldnt be ideal at all. Looking for a plugin.

datitisev

vij Ah, ok. I see what you mean. ?

PS: Just so you know, this is a "feature request", so the tags should be Feedback > Features, instead of Dev, which is for extension & flarum development issues

jordanjay29

vij Nope, datitisev is right. This belongs in Feedback > Features. Dev is for those working on extensions and who need code help.

In the future, the OP can simply be flagged using the Other message to let us know it's in the wrong section.

vij

I think Dev section is right for this and this should go under sub section "Extensibilty"

datitisev

vij The Dev section is for help when developing an extension or a core feature, not for any requests.
In this case, Dev > Extensibility would be for help while creating an extension, not to request an extension.

Feedback > Features is just for features, doesn't matter core or extension, and extension developers look there to see what they should develop next.

datitisev

jordanjay29 I know, but I wanted OP to know why ?

I did forget to flag, though... ?

That's my job. ?

No one interested to work on this?

only moderation chatter ?

Davis

vij It honestly seems a bit useless. It probably couldn't be of any use besides you. Perhaps you could attract attention by giving the amount you were thinking of paying for such and extension and maybe explaining your situation better.

There are over 500 downloads for the change post date addon on XF.

Yes, I am willing to pay for change author/date - $40

I am just worried if the developer will have the commitment to keep it updated through Flarum's beta to gold growth

Davis

vij tell you what. I'll create it for you. If you have any issues with it not working on the most recent build of Flarum shoot me a message on gitter or the support thread for the extension (provided you are willing to allow this to be open source).

EDIT: nothing ever came of this

Davis Did this ever happen?

Davis @clarkwinkelmann @vij @theportablegeek I am willing to add another $40 for it or whatever is needed. I really really need the change author of a post or discussion option as sometimes with get testimonials about our free Meditation Outreach on the field or on our Telegram group and we have to post it to the forum. The testimonials would look more authentic they were posted from the name of the member. As they register as a member on the forum but then share their testimonial on telegram group as it is much more easy to post there. So please please help. It would be nice if it can be maintained. @clarkwinkelmann is it possible to add change author to your change date one and make it an official FoF one at what cost? This is the only one extension I am missing from my previous Xenforo forum. Nothing else, nothing at all. Everything is set. Thanks in advance.

clarkwinkelmann

theportablegeek not that I know of.

It's still possible to manually update via the database.

Setting the post time might be possible via the API, but I'm not sure.

theportablegeek

Thanks for the quick reply clarkwinkelmann 🙂
