Hide "Edit By ..." Note For Admins
 

Hide "Edit By ... " For Admin(s)

Another simple template mod to hide "Edit By ..." note for superadmin or admin group. No file hack required, just add one simple conditional to your postbit template to do the trick.

Open postbit(_legacy),

FIND:
REPLACE WITH:
<!-- That's it! -->


If you want to hide "Edit By ..." note for the whole group, replace ($post[userid] != 1) with
!is_member_of($post[usergroupid],6)
where 6 is groupid which you want to hide editby notes, and you should adjust it to your own.

There isn't a setting for this in vBulletin anymore?

Is it one of vbulletin setting options?

It used to be, I thought. I haven't really looked at 3.5 that deep.

It is.
Usergroup Manager / General Permissions / Show edited by note on edited messages?

Darn, i didn't see that option when I last checked vBulletin Settings Options.

Well, i guess this mod is still useful if someone want to limit hiding "Edit By ... " note to one individual, say super-admin. :glasses:

sometimes even when you turn off show edited by you want to put a reason that will show why you modified a post
this will break that ability

ex: last edited by Administrator Reason: removed warez link - dont post it again!!!!

I knew it had to still be there. Thanks Kirby. ;)

You can set who triggers an "edited by" message per group. So you could hide it for super admins, but still allow it to show for all others. Like someone mentioned above, this also breaks the ability to add an edit reason.
