Topic: [REQ] Edit/change topic/post date/time

Respects to all community members.

A while ago I've decided to create a mail archive on my private forum, added letters and replies.
But now I need to edit its dates to reflect a true timeline. Doing this by SQL queries is not an option for me.

Could you be so kind and resolve this dilemma in way of MOD?

Connorhd, it is not an option because you have to dig in innards, which means:
- you are familiar with SQL (not user-friendly),
- you have a password to forum's DB (security risk if there are more than one admin wishing to change date of post).

I suppose there is a place for my request to be implemented in options field of edit mode.

Sorry Kraeved,

I thought you meant no hand written SQL queries. PHPmyAdmin is user friendly and writes the query for you. You don't have to know SQL syntax to modify a database as everything is done in the control panel. Just have to browse and be smart, that's all.

Re: [REQ] Edit/change topic/post date/time

habspool, imagine editing/deleting post without pressing edit/delete link.
Will you advice all admins, moderators and simple users to manage posts by means of phpMyAdmin?
I know how powerful mentioned script is, but it is not a transparent solution for multi-user environment.
