Ah, well. I look forward to your next version, as I'm sure many others do as well. :)

Yep, this thing was one of my fav's in vB 2.x

Questions: 1) Where on earth is "install"?? and how do you hit it? And secondly, how come even normal users can see this advanced edit option?

Ok - I think the user being able to edit was a cacheing issue. All seems fine now. But still questioning "install"?

Ug....I give up - it works fine on most forums but if I take the date before today on one forum it disappears from the thread list, if I then set it back to today or in the future it starts showing on list again. This forum has a custom style. But so does another forum that also uses the hack....anyone got any ideas on this? Thanks.

Thanks again for this extremly useful mod! working like a charm on 3.03.
We have a separate photo gallery that our members upload to and I need to use this a lot to post links and details on behalf of members who upload pics and don't get around to writing about their pics in the forums.

Also very handy for moving posts from a now defunct yahoogroup, and changing the timestamp and username.
And great for re-ordering posts in linear threads.
I need to try it for re- ordering stickies.

One drawback is that I can only make these changes during an edit, which means that I first need to submit the post in my username, ( with a comment - "posted on behalf of xxxusername") then I edit username, remove the comment, and all is roses.
I could post/prepare the message in a private forum, then move it over, but this way it doesn't seem to activate as a new post unless I reply to the post.
(This has to do with moving posts/threads from forum to forum, nothing to do with this mod)

I can't imagine it would be possible with this mod to change the username before posting, and it's fine because I am able to get the task done.

regards,
Mark

Very useful hack .. installed on 3.0.3 with no problems https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/01/2.gif

Clicked Install

Nope, sorry that's not possible, as this would need a change in newreply/newthread.php and then it wouldn't have anything to do with Editing anymore and therefore would be an extra hack ;)

*theArchitect clicks install*.

As always your work is superb.

glad you like it :)

Great, no... awesome hack! Easy to install too. Thanks Xenon. :)

Installed easy - works great. However....

When I change any of the "advanced" fields, I get the "Edited By:" at the bottom of the post, even though admins have the option set to NOT show that.

How can I take care of that issue please?

Thanks!

Xenon,

Does this hack make it possible to keep threads within a forum in a certain chronological order, regardless of when the last post in each thread was?

Thanks

Hi, nice mod but how can I just show the advanced edit to admin only, not mods

You could modify the code to change the permisssions, but have you read what mods, supermods, and admins can actually do?

Yes I read it, but I would only like it for admin's to use this... do you know
what permission I change... :squareeyed:


Many thanks

i suggest you read through the thread, iirc i already posted the needed changes :)

well, theoretically possible by always editing postdates, but i would suggest to rewrite the sorting in forumdisplay.php instead (which is another hack)

how abt some updates to this hack :)
Xenon needs to stress on this hack to make it lil more better ^_^

I guess, this was the first hack i selected to installed on forums :)

Regards,

Well, i want to add some things to it as well, but unfortunatelly i'm very very very busy until at least Jan 2005

:(

FYI If the post being changed is the latest post, I've noticed that the username doesn't change in `last post on' the forums index page.

I found that if I then click on Edit Thread > click save changes, that this corrects the new username showing in last post.

This hack is absolutely wonderful!
Each time I use it XXX's go to Xenon.

Thanks,
Mark

thx for the kind words, ad also the little bug report, i'll try to fix it with the next release :)

Does this hack work on 3.0.3?

Can I limit it's access only to admins?

Thanks

EDIT - NEVERMIND - Just foudn the answer to both my questions...

UManiac CLicks INSTALL - Thanks for the hack - super easy to install :D

glad you like it :)

Could this be added at all...

Admin can set who they want to reply in that topic.. for example a user
requests something and then you admin can specify who can reply in that
topic for example the user who started the topic is the only person who can
reply

that would be a totally different hack...

Hi Xenon:

Sentaional hack, though it is not playing very well with the QuickEdit hack. I am getting this error message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.4:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE post
SET editlevel = '0',
dateline = '39599',
username = '',
userid = 0,
ipaddress = ''
WHERE postid = 1
LIMIT 1

mysql error: Unknown column 'editlevel' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054
I would like to keep this hack but my user really like the QuickEdit one.

you missed the first instruction which does the DB changes ;)

I jst tried to run it in case I forgot and ended up with this

I then tried to use the QuickEdit button again and got this error

erm, usernotes have nothing to do with my hack, that seems to be a totally different thing

the userid isn't set up correctly

Hmmm. Good point. I seem to have a roving query error. I have now recieved two different MySQL erros when I try and use the QuickEdit feature.

I think this is going to take a long time to work out what is wrong.

Hey ...

I have an idea... it would be good if we could do this for whole threads tool....

would be doable, but requires time, as it would be a totally different hack as well :)

just installed and everything works but when i change the date of the thread to 2003 the thread just disappears completely........

anyone knows what i did wrong???

Check your admin > Forums Manager > Default View Age (Default date cut-off for thread display)

I've moved posts from another site from 2001 with no probs.

Mark

aha, problem solved! thanks! missed that somewhere!

slight problem With it taking and moving a edited quoted post above the quoted post (Moves the post from under the quted post, to above the quoted post).

I would go to edit a post that has quoted another member, and it would then move that post above the member it quoted.

But Easily fixed with a time change.
Is there a way to fix this so it doesn't do this in the future?

It happens occasionally.

never had that bug.

maybe it's when the quote was within one minute, as the hack doesn't care about secunds in the dateline

I am running into a problem reinstalling this feature after upgrading to vb3.07

Has something changed? the last step re:
find
$postpreview

does not seem to fit in now.
Help!

i have not checked out 307 yet sorry
