Set Current Date and Time in Editpost
 

Set Current Date and Time in Editpost v1.0

This hack was requested by Rose in this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=51653

Many thanks goes out to Tigga without whom this hack would never have been made. He helped me see a simpler way of doing something that I had only seen as complicated. Thank you, sir. ;)

What this hack does:
When editing a post, there will now be a checkbox to set the date and time of that post to the current posting time. This hack is for those who have threads or posts they edit on a continual basis and need it to rise to the top of the thread list and show as a new post on the forumdisplay and forumhome.

Files to edit: 1 (editpost.php)
Templates to edit: 1 (editpost)
Install time: 5 minutes (if you are really slow)

[high]Please click the install button if you find this hack useful.[/high] ;)

Here is what it will look like in the editpost.

Thanks Boofo! Installing.

You're very welcome. Don't forget to click the install button. ;)

tested and working fine.

Licked install for ya.

Nice one, i wont be installing but only cause i dont need it on my site. Nice work tho

Cool, this will come in handy sometimes! Installed

I really didn't need it either. I did it for Rose. But it is one of those hacks that is nice to have in case I ever [high]do[/high] need it. ;)

This doesn't seem to want to work correctly with a sticky, though. I have one sticky thread that I just edited and was hoping to bump up but it didn't seem to update the date/time on it at all, even though I checked the box before I hit submit.

[Edit -- Err, nevermind. It doesn't seem to want to work for me at all regardless. Guess I'll have to uninstall for now. :( ]

Egad man! Crazy you are right its not working. I should have given it more time to check if it tested correctly.
