Force Reason When Editing Posts

[borbole]

I just coded this for a client of mine who uses another x forum and I found the idea interesting and thought to make use of it for my own forum as well and to port it over to vb too. Hopefully there will be other users who might find it also interesting.

Anyway, with this mod you can force the reason for edting posts. I.e. if users will not specify the reason for editing their post, they will not be able to do edit them at all .After you install it, go to Settings-Options-Message Posting and Editing Options. And all the way to the bottom you will see 3 settings for the mod. Where you can enable and disable the mod, enter the error message that you want to display to those user who have not entered the reason for editing their posts and as last but not least, choose which usergroups can be exluded from the edit post reason limit.

If you will need support with this mod, or if you will request new features to be added etc, please post them at the mod thread at my forum.

Very nice option.. I have no use for it as I limit editing to 24 hours after the post.

But it is great option.. thanks

really nice idea, but you need to remove "optional" under the reason box when it's activated.

How do I remove "optional" when I use this mod ? and add "You must provide a reason to edit your post"

[sulasno]

I am referring to the word under box next to Reason for Editing: when I click on the Edit button

I know to what you are reffering to. I replied to you at your thread at my forum. Please, keep all your support question regarded to this mod only there in the future :)

Sounds good!

This looks like a great mod. I did however notice something that should be corrected. When someone edits a post, it still says "Optional" under the input box, should it not say "Required"?

tnx installed

[home9000]

Is it working with 3.85 ?

[AURFSCAN]

remove 'optional'

search in templates


<p class="description">{vb:rawphrase optional}</p>


and remove

or

change to


<p class="description">Required</p>



for 'Required'


-templates are editpost and postbit_quickedit
