[solved] editing posts as moderator was created by thissideup
heyho.

im kinda wondering - and even more, since i cant find any topic regarding this - as a moderator, i am able to edit the post, but i cant change the author (even after editing the name field, but it still shows me as the author..), also, how can i edit the post-time?

you see, im migrating from another forum, and its as such impossible to do this through a script. but since there arent many posts, its quite okay to do this by hand.

i could write all these things inside the database directly, but im rather lazy for something like this.

so, any help would be muchly appreciated.

thanks in advance!
alex.

To confirm, I believe you are manually creating the posts and you wish to change the owner and date so that the posts in kunena appear like they did in your old forum.

For name:
- you will need to edit the name field (as you have done) and also the userid field.
- the name field gets displayed in the discussion and categories view. the userid field gets displayed when you are viewing the particular thread and it creates a link back to the user's profile. you can find the userid in the user manager

For date:
- edit the time field. Eg. this time 1254745020 is 2009/10/05 20:17
- I have not seen the magical formula to determine the meaning of the date/time values. what i do is I look at the time in there now and then change a few numbers to see what it gives me. after a few guesses you will get a reasonable understanding.

Another way that I have used in the past to do what you are doing is to install the joomla plugin that allows you to log in as anybody (with a master password) -
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-.../authentication/4806
Create the post with their name. If you do this, you will not need to edit the name and userid fields - just the date/time fields.

just returning to mark as solved, and also, i wrote a little script, to show me the exact unix time, as used in the myql-database, may come in handy:
Code:
<html><body> <?php if ($_POST['day'] == NULL) { } else { $day = $_POST['day']; $month = $_POST['month']; $year = $_POST['year']; } $now = date(U); echo "now: ".$now."<br /><br />"; echo $day.". ".$month.". ".$year."<br /><br />"; $thedate = mktime('00', '00', '00', $day, $month, $year); echo $thedate; ?> <form name="time" action="ljkaf.php" method="post"> Day: <input type="text" name="day" /> Month: <input type="text" name="month" /> Year: <input type="text" name="year" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body></html>
