Hey again!
We are running into a problem!
Link to forum:
http://rebelwindrpg.com
We want to be able to switch the author of the post with relative ease. And while I know that this is possible, it shows up next to the little online man Icon and we don't want that.
So, I want to know if we can move it to a different place. Say, beside the username in place of the change user link (cause, for some reason, that just logs us out, and doesn't really switch the account) area.
Would this be possible?
If you need a test account, please let me know. I have it all set up, but don't want to give it out without needing to.

It logs you out because it's a default MyBB function and isn't related to the account switcher.

1. It's not ugly.
2. If you want to change the post author on edit post only:
For MyBB 1.8 (EAS 1.5) in inc/plugins/accountswitcher/as_functions.php
find:
$plugins->add_hook("postbit", "accountswitcher_author_change_button", 50);
and replace with:
$plugins->add_hook("editpost_end", "accountswitcher_author_edit_button");
function accountswitcher_author_edit_button()
{
global $mybb, $theme, $lang, $loginbox;
$lang->load("accountswitcher");
if ($mybb->user['uid'] != 0 && $mybb->usergroup['as_canswitch'] == 1 && $mybb->settings['aj_changeauthor'] == 1)
{
$loginbox = "<tr>
<td class=\"trow1\" width=\"20%\"><strong>{$lang->username}</strong></td>
<td class=\"trow1\">{$mybb->user['username']} <span class=\"smalltext\">[<strong><a href=\"javascript:MyBB.popupWindow('/editpost.php?pid={$mybb->get_input(pid, 1)}&changeauthor=1')\">{$lang->aj_changeauthor_postbit}</a></strong>]</span></td>
</tr>";
}
}

Will this also work for 1.6??
ETA: Tried this (and I might have done it wrong, but I swear I did all you said) and got this:

MyBB 1.6 doesn't have the get_input() function.
Please try this code for the replacement with MyBB 1.6:
$plugins->add_hook("editpost_end", "accountswitcher_author_edit_button");
function accountswitcher_author_edit_button()
{
global $mybb, $theme, $lang, $loginbox;
$lang->load("accountswitcher");
if ($mybb->user['uid'] != 0 && $mybb->usergroup['as_canswitch'] == 1 && $mybb->settings['aj_changeauthor'] == 1)
{
$pid = (int)$mybb->input['pid'];
$loginbox = "<tr>
<td class=\"trow1\" width=\"20%\"><strong>{$lang->username}</strong></td>
<td class=\"trow1\">{$mybb->user['username']} <span class=\"smalltext\">[<strong><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"MyBB.popupWindow('{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/editpost.php?pid={$pid}&changeauthor=1', 'changeauthor', 420, 420);\">{$lang->aj_changeauthor_postbit}</a></strong>]</span></td>
</tr>";
}
}
Okay, that worked like a charm!
One real quick question though.
http://i.imgur.com/adt66e7.png <-- see how it still has Jenny as the poster? It shouldn't be Jenny after it's changed. It should be Command Central. It's not a big deal if we can't get it to reflect the new post author on edit, because it does reflect it when you've hit submit, but, how to we get it to reflect the new poster if we go back in and edit again?

MyBB is showing the current username by default. If you are editing a post of another user as mod or admin, it shows your username, not the one of the post author.
To change it you could use this code instead of the above replacement:
$plugins->add_hook("editpost_end", "accountswitcher_author_edit_button");
function accountswitcher_author_edit_button()
{
global $mybb, $theme, $lang, $loginbox, $post;
$lang->load("accountswitcher");
if ($mybb->user['uid'] != 0 && $mybb->usergroup['as_canswitch'] == 1 && $mybb->settings['aj_changeauthor'] == 1)
{
$pid = (int)$mybb->input['pid'];
$user_name = htmlspecialchars_uni($post['username']);
$loginbox = "<tr>
<td class=\"trow1\" width=\"20%\"><strong>{$lang->username}</strong></td>
<td class=\"trow1\">{$user_name} <span class=\"smalltext\">[<strong><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"MyBB.popupWindow('{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/editpost.php?pid={$pid}&changeauthor=1', 'changeauthor', 420, 420);\">{$lang->aj_changeauthor_postbit}</a></strong>]</span></td>
</tr>";
}
}
