Uneditable Posts
 

Introduction

I found a thread where the user was wondering if there was a feature within vBulletin that would allow you to specify if certain users posts can be edited or not. This is the outcome of about 5 hours work (with waiting on help with AJAX stuff).

Requirements

• This has been tested on vBulletin v3.7.0 Beta 6 and should work with all vB 3.7.x versions. It has not been tested on lower versions of vBulletin.

Installation

1. Upload product XML

Features

• Completely removes the ability for anyone to edit a users posts.
• User IDs defined in the vBulletin Options.
• Works with Quick Edit (checks after user submits)
• Works with full edit (checks before loading page).

thanks King. does this allow the user to still edit his own posts though?

Interesting idea but I think the Super Admin should still have editing abilities.

Could someone help me by explaining the function of this mod in some extra detail,
What sort of situation would this mod be useful for?

I believe its best use is to make sure moderators do not edit other moderator's postings.

Not yet. I just wanted to get the basics for the person who needed this mod.

They will sooner or later. Probably in the next version.

This could be useful if you don't want moderators editing Administrator posts or such. or completely making staff posts uneditable for anyone.

That is one use. :)

bummer. well I guess I won't install just yet because I need members to still be able to edit their own posts. I'll be keeping my eye on this mod and thanks again King.

Your welcome. The update will probably either tomorrow or late tonight cause I am super tired.

OK. Updated with that minor change. :)

That was pretty damn quick. Thanks again KING.
