Thanks for the replies guys, I actually managed to do it a week or so ago (forgot to update here since I've been busy and working on a
games wiki section which will also end up using this, so I kinda forgot about this thread

)
Basically, what I did, was duplicate editpost.php, and called it wikiedit.php. Then, from the wikiedit.php file I removed all of this;
PHP Code:
// ############################### start permissions checking ###############################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'deletepost')
{
// is post being deleted? if so check delete specific permissions
if (!can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'candeleteposts'))
{
if (!$threadinfo['open'])
{
$vbulletin->url = 'showthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "t=$postinfo[threadid]";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_threadclosed'));
}
if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['candeletepost']))
{
print_no_permission();
}
else
{
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $postinfo['userid'])
{
// check user owns this post since they failed the Mod Delete permission check for this forum
print_no_permission();
}
}
}
}
else
{
// otherwise, post is being edited
if (!can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'caneditposts'))
{ // check for moderator
if (!$threadinfo['open'])
{
$vbulletin->url = 'showthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "t=$threadinfo[threadid]";
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('threadclosed')));
}
if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['caneditpost']))
{
print_no_permission();
}
else
{
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $postinfo['userid'])
{
// check user owns this post
print_no_permission();
}
else
{
// check for time limits
if ($postinfo['dateline'] < (TIMENOW - ($vbulletin->options['edittimelimit'] * 60)) AND $vbulletin->options['edittimelimit'] != 0)
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('edittimelimit', $vbulletin->options['edittimelimit'], $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}
}
}
}
}
and then from lines 91-97, I replaced this;
PHP Code:
// get permissions info
$_permsgetter_ = 'edit post';
$forumperms = fetch_permissions($threadinfo['forumid']);
if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewthreads']) OR (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers']) AND ($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)))
{
print_no_permission();
}
with this;
PHP Code:
// get permissions info
if ($threadinfo['prefixid'] != wiki OR is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 4, 1, 3, 8, 2) OR ($threadinfo['firstpostid'] != $postinfo['postid']))
{
print_no_permission();
}
I did have it do that any member could edit the first post, but decided to only allow it to people with over 15 posts (which is obviously what the
is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 4, 1, 3, 8, 2) bit is for)
I'm sure there's a better way of doing it, but I'm just happy I managed to get it working
