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.
Administrators: Can restrict editing to moderators (and above), supermoderators (and above) or admins (and above).
Supermoderators: Can restrict editing to moderators (and above) or supermoderators (and above).
Moderators: Can restrict editing to moderators (and above).
Post Author (available to administrators only):
Administrator can specify a custom author of any post. Guests (non-existing users) can also be specified.
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

The installation manual is contained within the attached file.

Maybe nothing, but that's why I'm asking. I have my forums configured so that a user may go back and modify his post for the next hour after posting. Some users, those paying a subscription, I would like this edit time limit to be overriden so they can go back and edit their posts whenever they want. Seems like this hack would allow a user or usergroup to edit all posts, but I'd like to limit it to only that users' posts. Is that possible to do?

Then have your users automatically join a secondary usergroup which has expanded time limit, this can be done without a hack.

I could be overlooking something but it seems like the "vBulletin Options" --> "Message Posting and Editing Options" --> "Time Limit on Editing of Posts" is a global option and applies to all user groups. I need a way to override this on a per-group basis.

akanevsky · #**275** 04-30-2006, 10:48 AM

Okay, I'll think about adding such per-group option to this hack.

Caiman · #**276** 04-30-2006, 02:43 PM

Just a quick question, if I use this hack to alter the time and date a post was made, is that a permanent adjustment, i.e. if I were to turn the product off for any reason, would the new date in the post edited remain?

Thanks

akanevsky · #**277** 04-30-2006, 02:51 PM

Yes, time and date adjustments permanent because they directly modify the post table.

MJM · #**278** 05-03-2006, 05:22 AM

FYI ...
When creating new post and changing username the email notification (I has set to receive all posts) shows as being sent by my username, not changed-to username.

Anyway, I usually add ... Posted for username ... then remove after posting when I post for another member.
I use this feature when info is sent to me to post in for a member, or to help members collate images/text from one of our galleries into an article at the forum.

...but I'm just curious if it can be made to show changed username in the email notification ...

- Username has just posted in the Blahblah Forum

- Username has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled

Thx for pointing that out.

In the AEO 'init_startup' hook ;

PHP Code:


			
    global $vbulletin;

Add below it ;

PHP Code:


			
    // Bypass Options // 
    // By Paul M - Because some mods choke on AEO // 
    $bypass_aeo = false; 
    if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'report') $bypass_aeo = true; 
    if (is_object($vbulletin->gars)) $bypass_aeo = true; 
 
    if ($bypass_aeo) { 
        $vbulletin->userinfo['editlevel'] = EDITLEVEL_AUTHOR; 
        return EDITLEVEL_AUTHOR; 
    } 
    // End of bypass options //

I've also added a 'cache_templates' hook ;

PHP Code:


			
$globaltemplates[] = 'adv_editform';

Paul, will we need to do this with any hack that conflicts with it then? And since I don't run GARS, is it ok to leave that part if it out or leave it in?

1. I would assume so.
2. Yes you can leave out GARS if you don't use it.

(BTW, you don't need to cache the template anymore, Psionic Vision added that in a recent update).
