DESCRIPTION

This hack gives your board staff a few advanced post editing options that are available in New Thread, New Post and Edit Post interfaces. Since this is a port of Xenon's Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins Hack, credits for the original idea (but not for the port cause it has a lot new features that were not present in the original

) belong to him.

Note that this hack may interfere with other hacks that make use of posting functions. If such problems appear, place the following code in the very beginning of the problematic script:

------------------------------------------------
define('BYPASS_AEO', true);
------------------------------------------------

This should eliminate whatever problem appears. If it does not, please feel free to mention it.

Post Editing Hierarchy (available to mods, s-mods, admins and s-admins):
Superadministrators: Can restrict editing to moderators (and above), supermoderators (and above), admins (and above), or superadmins only.

Supermoderators: Can restrict editing to moderators (and above) or supermoderators (and above).
Moderators: Can restrict editing to moderators (and above).

Post Date/Time (available to administrators only):
Administrator can specify a custom date and time for any post.
Post IP (available to administrators only):
Administrator can specify a custom ip address for any post.

Advanced:

A system-wide switch that defines the minimal editlevel required to use the hack.
It can be found in vBulletin Options -> Advanced Editing Options for Mods and Admins.
A per-user editlevel override, available via admincp user options.
Color-coded listing of users to whom a custom editlevel has been applied.

Note:
To make the subject of the override clear for you, here is an example. If you turn you take a regular registered user and set the override to "Administrator" in that user's profile, then that user will be able to use hack options that would otherwise be available only to administrators.

VERSION HISTORY

2.1.0
[+] The hack is now compatible with vBulletin 3.5.x - 3.8.x.
[+] Eliminated all template edits. The difference in template edits between different vBulletin versions is handled automatically.
[+] Added support for attachments for posts with custom user setting. These attachments are now saved, and their ownership is set to whatever custom user is specified.
[+] When a post is submitted with a custom user setting, that user's activity dates are updated if they are older than the post's date. The dates of the user's activities are never set to the future. If a new post is made with a date in the future, the user's activity dates are set to present time.
[+] When a post is submitted with a custom dateline, last post information in forum and thread is now rebuilt properly.
[+] If a post is submitted with a custom dateline, the thread's firstpostid and creation date are now set to match whatever posts is now the first one in the thread.
[+] In the event that you have installed "vS-Hide Hack Resurrection," and you are changing the ownership of a post that has been thanked, the ownership of thanks is updated automatically, and so are the users' thanked counts.
[+] Removed a lot of redundant code, so the hack should now work faster than it did before.

2.0.2
[+] The hack is now officially compatible with vBulletin 3.6.
[+] Added a workaround for hacks that use new post functions. See description for details.
[+] Unlike before, adv_editform form elements now use vbulletin styles.

2.0.1
[F] Removed extra queries from showthread and showpost.
[F] "adv_editform" is now cached.

2.0.0
[+] A "superadministrator" editlevel.
[+] A system-wide switch that defines the minimal usergroup required to use the hack.
[+] A user-level override of system permissions that defines the editlevel associated with any particular user.
[+] A listing of users for whom an override was defined (with color key). Located under "Users" in the control panel navigation menu.

1.0.2
[+] When you make a post, you have a new checkbox available. That checkbox is off by default, and it allows you to choose whether to use the custom dateline in your post.

1.0.1
[F] Lastposters were not updated on newthread and newreply when replied by admin.

1.0.0
First Release

did as instructed m8, and i got this on my board...
board is now dead.....

Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_editlevels() (previously declared in /home/******/public_html/board/includes/init.php(292) : eval()'d code:22) in /home/******/public_html/board/global.php(375) : eval()'d code on line 292

any ideas??

akanevsky · #**143** 11-28-2005, 07:58 PM

Make sure you have uninstalled the previous version of the hack PRIOR TO installing this one. The plugin that was in global.php has been removed in the new version. You probably have it left over from the old one.

Gizmo5h1t3 · #**144** 11-28-2005, 08:08 PM

thanks for the advice..shame it wasnt seen b4 my board was lost....

over 12 months of stuff gone????

gutted

If you've read the instructions carefully, you would see that it says "Uninstall the old product XML". How come you haven't done that?

Anyway, calm down. Your board is not gone. Use the following tool to temporarily turn off plugin system:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...05&postcount=6

Once you turn it off, you can easily uninstall the old version of the hack.
After which, you can install the new one.

^ Yeah that.

Also, never install any hack without first backing up your DB.

I have found that most hacks (if not all) hacks work perfectly fine on a new board (ie a board with no other hacks or mods). But when you install the same hack on a board with a load of mods, then errors can and do occure. Even fatal ones which delete all but 16 of your vB tables (happened to me once).

SO, BACK-UP, BACK-UP AND MAKE COPIES OF THE BACK-UP LOCALY AND ON YOUR SERVER!

Yay for the new update!

I am having trouble with getting version 2 to work right.
#1 - I don't see the place where I can edit the date and user name of a post.

#2 - I get the following error when I try to edit a message:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE post SET
userid = 0,
username = '',
ipaddress = '',
editlevel = 2,
showsignature = 0,
allowsmilie = 1,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
iconid = 0,
attach = 0
WHERE postid = 250;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'editlevel' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Everything worked just fine in the previous version.

@carolem: Edit them in the ACP. And the Error can't be solved by this Hack, there is no Plugin that use a Hook for that function.

@Psinoc Vision: I would prefer if you can use an own PhraseType instead putting all into the Global Type. If you don't know how, I may help you with this.

carolem · #**151** 12-05-2005, 12:18 PM

I uninstalled and reinstalled the product. (I do confess that previously I did not uninstall the old product before I added the new product.)

The database error no longer appears, but I still only see the box that lets you change
Author
Mod or
S Mod

as the attachment shows and I do not see the box to change the author of the post or the date of the post.

We do not use Moderators or Super Mods at this site - only admin is able to use the advanced editing function.
