README

A Flarum extension. Let mods update the author and date of discussions and posts.

The author edit button is added underneath the title/tag edit button for discussions and under the content edit button for posts.

Author edit

Users with "Update author" permission must also have the "View user list" permission to be able to search for users.

Date edit

The field uses the native datetime-local picker in browsers that support it. The field format in supported browsers will match your browser/operating system language and country setting.

The time in the modal is UTC.

Other

The first post of a discussion and the discussion itself are not automatically synced. You will probably want to edit the data in both places, or use the sync option in the modal.

Installation

Install with Composer:

composer require fof/author-change:"*"

Updating

composer update fof/author-change:"*"
