post editing question.

[neocorteqz]

Hopefully this is a simple question.

I want to know if there is a way I can set my forums so when a Supermod (or a specific Mod) Edits someones post it will not showup as "edited by xxx"? A few of my mods don't like it when it shows that. I want it to show up for Admins and moderators, but not super mods or if possible individual users. If Im not clear enough I can elaborate.

Basically is this possible and how would i do it?


also I appoligize if this is in the wrong forum.:)


Thanks.

open editpost.php

find $editedbysql="";
if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin)) {
$editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
}

replace with: $editedbysql="";
if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin) and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5) {
$editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
}

Thanks for the help. Just one little question, is it possible to do this for individual users? It's not important, but I'd just like to know for future reference.

Thanks again.:)

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /web/thecolds/public_html/editpost.php on line 331

and also on line 332 after I copied and pasted the second time.

I don't know much about coding. Did i do something wrong?

edit: I have the "Reason for edit Hack installed" Will this make a difference?

[neocorteqz]

Re did this again. it's showing the error on line 331, from what i'm reading it has an extra bracket? We remove the bracket and it creates a totally different error message.

Thanks for the help:)

[neocorteqz]

Never mind. Fixed it. it had an extra bracket on the very last line

$editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
}

I just deleted the last bracket...


Thanks for your help.:) I really need to learn PHP:)
funny. thats exactly what the error message said:D

yes.. if you change and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5 as and $bbuserinfo[userid]!=X and X with the userid of the user, it will work for the individual user..

Thanks, Just what I wanted to know.

How would i do this for more than 1 user? Can I put in the userID and then just ,9,20,44 to add those other userIDs, or must I use other code?

Example: $bbuserinfo[userid]!=5,9,20,44

[Logician]

and $bbuserinfo['userid']!=5 AND $bbuserinfo['userid']!=9 AND $bbuserinfo['userid']!=20 AND $bbuserinfo['userid']!=44

[DaveG]

Thanks VERY much, worked like a charm!

a nicer method (especially if you plan to add some later) is:
and !in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], array(5,9,20,44))
