Hi Nicholas,

First up, this is not a fault of Admin Tools but there is a clear issue for users of K2 when changing the SA ID. It tripped me up, and I have seen it also trip up a number of other seasoned Joomla users, so I wanted to make you aware of it (just in case you are not already).

As the default behaviour of K2 is to display the authors email address along with every post, any posts created by the original SA will (after using AT to change SA ID) display the randomised and email address of the blocked user ID 62.

Of course, I would like all old posts (made by the SA) to display the correct email address. I know that opening and then saving the old K2 items will assign the correct user again, but that is not ideal on large sites.

Would it be possible to use a replace operation on the K2 author db field after SA ID is changed?

Thanks for your consideration and for providing such a kick-ass tool.

Regards,


Seth

Whoah!

Thanks for the lightning fast response!

Yes, I am aware of those options for fixes, but I am not sure that all users are confident about making such changes.

That is why I was hoping you might consider either:

1) Making it crystal clear to the k2 user that this will happen (i.e. not just in the docs, as they don't get read ;) but within AT itself), or;

2) Automating the search-and-replace operation, post ID change.

Just my $0.02

Of course, you are right. I understand completely.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Keep up the good work!

:)
