phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

When changing a poster of a post, and you type in a name, and press confirm to that button, the user thats selected in the selectbox is the new user, and not the user thats typed in.

I just tested this and it seems to work fine, but I'm sure a Dev will have a look at it.

The intended function is, for example:
username1 posted

Changing post author to username2,
username1 should now be in the drop menu list. And username2 is the new post author.

To restore the post author back to username1 click confirm on the drop menu.

Hey Paul,
After you update the CVS, if you already did... can you double check this one?
It seems to be working fine for me. Smile

tested on newest cvs:
If no dropdown box, and you try to change it, it is changed.
If there is a downdown box, and you try to change it, it is changed to the selected user in the dropdown, and the user typed in ISN'T displayed in dropdown.

Dropdown is only displayed if another user has posted with the same IP(So far I can test).

Well, you are right paul!

I do remember encountering that error some time ago.
If the user is in the drop-down menu, then typing in a user will do no good when the form is submitted. It will always choose the top poster in the drop menu.

However, I found a very simple fix, though I think Meik can gleam a better function fix off of this.

Change this:

Code: Select all: <?php              <tr>                 <form method="post" name="mcp_chgposter" action="{U_POST_ACTION}">                     <td class="row1" valign="top"><b class="gen">{L_CHANGE_POSTER}</b></td>                     <td class="row2"><input class="post" type="text" name="username" value="" /> <input class="btnmain" type="submit" value="{L_CONFIRM}" name="action[chgposter]" /><br /><span class="gensmall">[ <a href="{U_FIND_MEMBER}" onclick="window.open('{U_FIND_MEMBER}', '_phpbbsearch', 'HEIGHT=500,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,WIDTH=740');return false;">{L_FIND_USERNAME}</a> ]</span><br /><select name="u">{S_USER_SELECT}</select> <input type="submit" class="btnmain" name="action[chgposter_ip]" value="{L_CONFIRM}" /></td>                 </form>             </tr>

To this:

Code: Select all: <?php               <tr>                     <td class="row1" valign="top"><b class="gen">{L_CHANGE_POSTER}</b></td>                     <td class="row2"><form method="post" name="mcp_chgposter" action="{U_POST_ACTION}"><input class="post" type="text" name="username" value="" /> <input class="btnmain" type="submit" value="{L_CONFIRM}" name="action[chgposter]" /><br /><span class="gensmall">[ <a href="{U_FIND_MEMBER}" onclick="window.open('{U_FIND_MEMBER}', '_phpbbsearch', 'HEIGHT=500,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,WIDTH=740');return false;">{L_FIND_USERNAME}</a> ]</span></form><br /><form method="post" name="mcp_chgposter" action="U_POST_ACTION"><select name="u">{S_USER_SELECT}</select> <input type="submit" class="btnmain" name="action[chgposter_ip]" value="{L_CONFIRM}" /></form></td>                              </tr>
