This product will allow Administrators to edit the username and/or the date & time of posts.
It's fairly no-frills but may be of use to others - I use it because at present I am going back through some threads to insert a post at the beginning to act as topic info and also I like to post updates under a particular username which isn't my preferred login. Yes I'm lazy enough that posting and then editing the uername is easier than logging in the other account!
Details:
3 plugin locations (one to cache template)
1 new template
1 added query to match username to userid
Applies edit username/dateline permission to usergroupid 6.
note:
If you edit the dateline for a post and alter which is the first or last post in a thread then you'll need to rebuild thread info from admncp maintenance. (Not strictly needed for changing the last post as this will be updated when the thread is next posted in.)
As I say, no frills; very simply does what it does and no more. I think the code may be a bit of a fudge in places to work around weirdness I couldn't think to sort any other way so if you know better please share!
