I am getting strange things from this hack. When i quote a post in my reply it does not update the last poster information on forum index, any ideas or is anyone else having this problem?

Yes it does update, I checked.

i've reinstalled the hack 3 times, and it's not updating the forum stats... i did not read the code yet to find the bug, but without any special setting, i can't update the forum counts/stats actually when this hack is activated...

I noticed the same behaviour in regards to the forum stats and last poster info not updating so I went into the scheduled task manager and run the cron jobs manually. Since then it seems to be just fine. Weird huh?

What did you run because i am still getting this problem.

Not for me it doesnt mate :(

I installed the hack on two more sites and it works on both.
Conclusion: ... you-know-what ..

Actually, now that I think about it it wasn't a cron job I run. I updated the counters. Try rebuilding thread and forum information and see how it goes.

If you still have the problem afterwards, PM me with admin and ftp details and I'll see if I can do anything

ok now i need no moderator to be able to edit a supermods post and no super to edit an admins post ever. does this hack do that? on every post? with out having to set it. automatically? thanks

I'd suggest you use Xenon's "Post Editing Hierarchy" hack. :)
However, I might integrate his functionality into this hack in some next version (if I get his permission)...

Hi,
I have installed the product and this has been my first experience with installing a plugin and I do say it was quite easy and a joy to install!

I do have two questions:

1. Is it necessary to "revert" the editpost template before adding $adv_editform?
We have used Xenon's version and the template had been previously edited.
(I notice it seems to work fine without reverting the template.)

2. Is it possible to make the box for the day, month, and year wider? It is hard to see both of the two digit numbers in the box on our screen. How do we change the size of the box?

Many Thanks to Dark Visor, Xenon and everyone who helped to make this mod happen,
CaroleM

No. Unless you have a template from vBulletin 3.0.x currently installed.

What browser and platform are you using? I can see both digits on either opera, ie or mozilla firefox under Windows XP..

It is hard to see both of the two digit numbers of the date in the box on our screen.
Also the year box only shows 3 digits, so it is hard to see 2005

I am using Safari and Mac operating system 10.3.9

I just checked using Internet Explorer on the Mac and the date box is also small.

I also have a Mac with operating system 9.2 and the boxes there are also small using Internet Explorer.

I'm use Safari normally too, to fix it's a simple edit of the adv_editform template. Change the the bold figure below to your preference.
In my case, I changed all mine to 3 and the year field to 5. See attachment.

Thanks,
I will take your suggestion!

I was just getting ready to post that I had this problem previously and it was discussed here

I will also include the fix in the next release.

Now just to make sure, this can be used to restrict a moderator from editing an Admin's post. But this can only be done on a per post basis with said setting?

Yes.

FYI, I too am having the same issue as some of the above.

With this enabled, a new post does not show up on forumhome in the "Last Post" column.

We are also having the issue of a new post does not show up on forumhome in the "Last Post" column.

Any suggestions?

Carolem

As per Carolem, my partner, last post details on forum index was not being updated even when replying to a thread and not making any username/time changes.

After uninstalling it's working right.

Will try it out again later tonight ...

Anyone else having this problem of replying to a thread and not showing last post details on forum index?

I am not able to verify the problem on my board. Can some PM me their access info plz so that I can look? Thx.

Bugfix release:

1.0.1
[F] Lastposters were not updated on newthread and newreply when replied by admin

To update, simply reload the product XML (two new plugins added).
Thanks to MJM for providing an access to a board on which the problem was evident. :)

Thanks for the update, atleast now i know i wasnt going mad :)

Yeah thanks for the update, works like a charm now. :)

I am having a minor problem with this hack in that it does not seem to play well with Xenon's Message Editing Hierarchy hack.

Everything works fine, unless a Mod tries to edit a post of someone of similar rank or higher.

ie If a Mod tries edit a registered users everything works fine. But if they try and edit the post a another Mod or an Admin then they get a plain white screen with the plain text of the post they were trying to edit.

If I disable Xenon's hack then I have no problems.

I would like to keep Xenon's hack so a workaround would be apprecaited.

I could just integrate his hack into this one.

I've had this hack running for a couple weeks and love it.

However, there is a small problem that was just brought to my attention today.

When a user presents a new post and has the advanced editing options available to them, the time of the post is set according to when they started writing.

So, if it takes them a while for something lengthy, they post and then notice an error, the get the Last Edited By because it "appears" that the post was started some time sooner.

So, is there a way to have this hack display only when a post is edited?

Could you please provide screenshots? Thanks!

Maybe I just explained it wrong.

Admins and Super Mods have "Advanced Editing Options" available to them whenever they post.

I would like to have the Advanced Editing Options available only when editing.

You know. Sometimes you're replying to a thread, get distracted or get into something that requires research, and it can be quite a while before you actucally click Submit.

But, since the Advanced Editing Options are displayed then, the post is marked as being posted at the time you started writing. It can cause it to be out of order.

I, actually, probably went into too much detail.

All I really need to know is if this can be configured to display only on edit.

I've discovered something a little strange after installing this very good plugin - every time I (or another admin who has the facility to amend poster and date etc) makes a 'normal' post (i.e. from ourselves), it doesn't show up as being 'read' and maintains its unread status until you physically have to select 'Mark Forum Read' from the drop down. Is there something in the template amendments that would have caused this to happen, so that I can check in the right places?

Thanks again for a very useful mod :)

Look in the original Xenon's thread.

I'll make a checkbox - "use/not use custom time", which will be off by default.

I'll look into it.

That will be perfect!


[edit]
durned typos

Vision, great hack but is it possible to re-place the Advanced Options below the "Additional Options". It could be alot better.

hi
i have problem
when i write a post and i read it, its dont unread and i see on "new posts" the post.

although I read remain the contribution unread thus fat written that lie that? greeting jo

English please thank you very much.

This is just a matter of a template edit... :]

I think holeweg wants to point out the same issue mentioned before by thalamus: ;)

Posts that have been read by admins are not marked as being read.

Hey. I just noticed that when I go to post a new thread, on top of the title area, I have the Advanced Editing Options showing up - even before I submit the post. Did something go wrong? Or is this normal? I don't see it happening on another site I admin with this feature installed...

Ok how do I install this.. I imported it through install product..but nothing happens??
