Edit / Report Button Hack - based on your permissions

What does this hack do?

Basically it allows you to insert a variable into your postbit template and if you posted the thread then it shows up with the edit link/button. If you didn't post it it shows the report link.

This is just like the hack installed here at vbulletin.org

Latest Version: 1.3

Thanks to:

- Hellsatan (for helping with a parse error)
- PPN for beta testing v1.2
- Dan_UPC for fixing two bugs

+++++++++++++++++ Extra Notes +++++++++++++++++
If you would like the report button in the default vbulletin style then here is the link:

Does it work if you place it in the phpinclude template? Because technically this could be a template mod if it does:p

Check you PMs miSt :sleep:

Dean C

11-03-2002, 04:02 PM

I did and thats why there will be a new version on the way.

In the new version you'll have to put the code into showthread.php....

This has already been done before because I've had it installed for quite sometime now. However, it was never formally published.

Here's the thread, from the Requests forum: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32414

Yeah, but look at the date is was posted:

Nearly a year ago - People arent going to see threads that old. Besides, miSt's hack is differently coded to fireflies:P

Dean C

11-03-2002, 07:20 PM

Indeed...

The next release candidate will be coded differently too..

Hopefully i'll sort it out before Monday night :)

DOnt get it
i did put the
$post[editreport]
in the postbit template
but whats the point if there is already a edit button in the thread?

assassingod

11-07-2002, 04:55 PM

What it does is show the Edit Button if you posted it, and shows the report button if you dont.

Regarding admin status, can I add a new groupid so my coadmin (different than admin) can still see the edit button everywhere?

The code for this would be appreciated!

Dean C

11-13-2002, 06:12 PM

Yes whats yourusergroupid?

- miSt

Areku

11-14-2002, 08:01 AM

Say that in addition to Admin (groupid 6) I wanna add Coadmin (groupid 9).

Dean C

11-15-2002, 03:27 PM

If you already have the hack installed find this line:

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) OR ($post[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid])){

And change it to:

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 9) OR ($post[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid])){

i doit a change..
I prefer an image button.

Then i made a report.gif and upload in images foulder (the report button in your forum style)

Remplace in showthread...

////////// Start edit or report buttons hack //////////
if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) OR ($post[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid])){
$post[editreport] = "<a href=\"editpost.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editpost&postid=$post[postid]\"><img src=\"./images/edit.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Edit/Delete Post\"></a> <a href=\"report.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]\"><img src=\"./images/report.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Report\"></a>";
}else{
$post[editreport] = "<a href=\"report.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]\"><img src=\"./images/report.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Report\"></a>";
}
/////// End edit or report buttons hack /////////////

and i made 1 change more..
I'm an admin and if i want to report some post to the moderators i can't ... then i add the report button to admins, mods, supermods and the user who made the post..

Sorry about my verry poor english..

I hope u understand and enjoy the modificattion

Cool Hack!

Dean C

11-23-2002, 08:41 PM

Yes i do understand what you mean..

All these things will be in v2 mate :)

I got exams starting a week on monday so i haven't got time to test the next version out so im trying to get some help off someone :)

I've got a question...I saw that you're using an if statement, with the usergroupids for mods, smods and admins I think...that will mean it's going to show the edit button to normal moderators, even if they don't mod that forum right?

(note to people who have conditional templates installed: this can be done through the postbit template)

Good work MiSt, release more hacks :p

Dean C

11-24-2002, 02:36 PM

Yes thats correct lol

- miSt

N9ne

11-24-2002, 03:12 PM

Then shouldn't you use the ismoderator function instead?

Dean C

11-24-2002, 04:03 PM

Hmmm yea i thought about doing this just after i read your post... I'll try n beta test it now...

Thank you Mist... :)

11-24-2002, 05:13 PM

I'm gonna install this hack later, I think I can't use the ismoderator function with the conditionals...although I'm not sure, I don't have enough time to "try" it, so I'll just install this hack :)

11-24-2002, 05:19 PM

Awesome :)

Thanks for installing btw N9ne :)

11-24-2002, 06:56 PM

You need to fix one more thing, if you are not the post creator, but can edit the post, you can see the edit link, but not the report link ;)

Dean C

11-25-2002, 05:54 PM

Yes but if your a staff member then why would you need to report the post seems as the report emails goto the staff members :)

- miSt

N9ne

11-25-2002, 06:06 PM

I remembered that after I posted ;)

but it's still cool to report someone's post even if you're admin lol...anyway...good work on the hack, I've got it installed.

Awesome get all your friends and future grandchildren to install too :)

Great hack, Mist. :) Just a question or two, though.

What if you don't allow your Mods to edit posts in certain forums? And what if I want to report a post to my moderators if I come across one that I think they should know about? The only thing is that you don't want to have the report button show up on your own post, Admin or not. But I think you need it there, otherwise.

Dean C

12-09-2002, 04:04 PM

I thought this is why most sites have a forum for their staff.

To be honest i can't see a way around this...

Feel free to post any ideas :D

- miSt

Boofo

12-09-2002, 09:52 PM

It's simple, just do 2 pieces of code instead of combining them into one. Sometimes a Mod or Admin can run across a message that they want the other Mods to know about and it would be easier to report it in the post than to go to a separate area and report it, you know what I mean? :)

Edit: That's ok, Mist, I went ahead and installed Firefly's code for this. It handles it like I explained. Good hack, though. Congrats! ;)

Dean C

12-10-2002, 03:42 PM

Are you sure firefly's code shows this for admins?

I dont think it does..

Yes, ma'am, it does. That's what I was using before I tried your hack. It shows the edit button AND the report button for Admins and Moderators, like it really should be. :) Just the regular users will only see one or the other.

Ok, I finally found a way to have the edit button only show up for the user who wrote the post and the moderator of that forum. If you are not a moderator of the forum, you will not see the edit button unless it is your post. First of all, you need to install Logician's Dynamic Template hack. Once that is installed, go to your "postbit" template and enter the code like this and viola!

[[((ismoderator($thread['forumid'])) or $post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid])]]
$post[editpost]
[[/((ismoderator($thread['forumid'])) or $post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid])]]

NOTE: Admins and Supermoderators will see the edit button at all times, since they are usually allowed to edit all posts.

Dean C

01-29-2003, 03:42 PM

Hehe i gave up on this project - i know so much more. I'll try and get this done without using dynamic templates :)

01-29-2003, 03:48 PM

I gave you the answer. Shouldn't be too hard.

Dean C

01-29-2003, 03:49 PM

The point of this was for the report button as well - that's the problem. I wanted to get it all in one code statement but i have an idea how to do it when i get some time.

- miSt

Mist,

Great hack but there are a couple of problems in the current version:

1) you are running ismoderator() for each post on the page. This is serious because if you have 40 posts on the page, it would add 40 queries to the page and that's just plain murder for the server.

2) if you have a max edit time, the button should change from edit to report once the user is no longer able to edit the post.

I've attached your hack in this post with the above problems fixed.
