- - New Posting Features - Per Forum Edit Time Limit (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=136448)

Not really. I don't have much time to create and test new features as I'm quite busy dealing with security vulnerabilities in modifications.

Doesn't work for me also... :(

We're desperate for this one for our Classifieds section. :(

Ah... moment of optimism dashed by reading the rest of the thread. :(

Moment of optimism seeing the "new reply to thread" email, also dashed.

Is there a way to make this hack only apply to particular users?

I'm trying this again, I installed it once but the forum I set up for it still couldn't edit their posts, I hope it works this time.

Did it work? I'm desperate for this hack.
------------------------------------------

I installed it. Didn't work for me. Dammit!

(3.6.4)

Nope, still not working for me. I would really love to have it especially for one forum that really needs it.
I'm 3.6.8

I still can't get it to work once I set it to -1 for unlimited I just can't edit post anymore on that forum. I just installed 1.2 with no older version installed.

vb 3.6.4

Perfect. I have an idea for my board and I needed something that provided one forum with no time limits for edits. Thanks!

The only problem is - that is doesn't work...

I tried to install this but I get the following mysql error when attemping to save a forum's configuration :

Code:

MySQL Error  : Unknown column 'pfetltimelimit' in 'field list'

Error Number : 1054

Uninstalled due to bugs.

I'm having the same problem and have found that if people open their post in a new window, then they can edit, regardless of the time limit.

I think it's because of this but I'm not sure, can anyone confirm?

It doesn't work for me either :(
Users can edit their posts indefinitely in other forums but not in the ones I've set the -1 option

(Vb 3.6.8 PL2)

3.6.8 PL2 here, does not work, could someone change it's status from 3.6.X? Or update it to work until last vbulletin? Thanks.

I think that this one doesn't work at all before and this is un-working product from the beginning.
It does only hide/show edit button from the thread but doesn't prohibit editing the post.

It was working till ~3.6.5. I have not had the time to fix anything as I have other things that take higher priority.

At least mention it at the beginning of this thread, so people can no longer bother you/themselves :)

vB Version: 3.6.5

This would be a truly great function for my board. I have one area (for discussion/debate on hot topics) that I want to allow a very short edit time (like 3 minutes) for typos and quick fixes but right now all I can do is the same as the rest of the forum or none.. so I have it at none.

Is it possible this may be updated for 3.7 at some point soon after it comes out? (This type of function really should be included IMO). :)

All my modifications will be fixed and updated to be compatible with 3.7 after it becomes gold.

How hard would it be to adapt this hack to do character limits per forum? Just a thought.

I have not tested it on 3.7 yet. The only way to see is installing it and trying.

Can anyone confirm if this will work with 3.6.10? I saw a modified version 1.3 (unofficial, I assume). Has anyone tested it with later versions? Thanks!

Just posting so I'll know when it works with 3.7. :)

I wouldn't trust that version as Dismounted didn't do it.

I don't know why Dismounted do not want to fix this one or test.
The changes which were made from 1.2 to 1.3 are listed in my post.
They are very easy to understand for such coder as he is.

You can always take Dismounted's 1.2 version and make the changes I listed in my post manually.

I do these things in my spare time. Do you think I have truck loads of time? And especially to do things for free?

Trust me, if I had the time to do it, I would.

is it possible to use this version in 3.7.1?

Dismounted, don't take my words so serious :)
We all now that free time is not free and is not time :D
I also don't have that one so I 100% understand you.

But you have to agree with me that if no one will encourage us than we can forgot about such phrase as "free time".

People just love this modification and that it why they boring you :cool:

Official version 1.2 doesn't work with 3.6.10 and 3.7.*
None Official version 1.3 attached in post #1447697 works with 3.6.10 and 3.7.*.

I installed the 1.3 version on 3.7.1 and it works great! Thank you for the original release Dismounted and thank you for the update Makc666!

*Marked Installed*

Thank you a lot Makc666 for take your time to fi this!!!

You are awesome.

I am using 3.7.1 and whether I set the option to -1 or 14400, my users seem to get this message:

The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 120 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message.

Note that the standard time limit is 5 minutes, so I don't know where this 120 minutes is coming from as I have never used that number for anything on my forum...
