A [Flarum](http://flarum.org) 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

[](#author-edit)

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

### Date edit

[](#date-edit)

The field uses the native [datetime-local](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/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

[](#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

[](#installation)

Install with Composer:

```
composer require fof/author-change:"*"
```

### Updating

[](#updating)
