Topic on Extension talk:ChangeAuthor

Apparently the extension works when you try to change the author of a given revision - the revision table is effectively updated. However, the history page for the article is left as if nothing was changed. I tried to purge the cache, rebuild all the things I could think of, to no avail... Is there a something I missed ? Thanks !

Hello, apparently the issue comes from the new Actor model (see Actor migration). A first fix consists in updating the revision_actor_temp as well (in ChangeAuthor.php l.374):

           // Now also change the revision_actor_temp table :

           $dbw->update(

               'revision_actor_temp',

               /* SET */[

                   'revactor_actor' => $users[1]->getActorId()

                   ],

               [ 'revactor_rev' => $id ], // WHERE

               __METHOD__

           );

Eventually, we also need to update the rev_actor column of the revision table, when that column will be there.
