Advanced Editing Options For Mods & Admins

Ok, another one of my vb2 Hacks has been ported over and Optimized

This hack allows mods and Admins to restrict the edit permissions on a levelbased system.
Admins can disallow everyone to edit that post, while mods just can restrict editing by the author. Supermods can restrict editing by normal moderators as well.

Admins also have additional features:
- Editing the Timestamp of that Post
- Editing the Author
- Editing the IP

Nothing more to explain i think, look at the screenies if you need more infos.

Please don't forget to click install

Thanks Xenon! (and Sandman for referring me to this Thread at vB.com)
This will be a tremendous help to change usernames of posts that I moved over from our yahoogroups.

Not sure yet whether I will need to update user post counts etc after making the changes...

Is it important to change the username IP too when I make the changes?
It just means an extra chore to find the user IP as I have a lot of posts needing username changes.
I want the author to be able to edit content of posts.

This is useful, but how about adding a feature to edit the thread title? As VB is now, only the post title can be edited after x time. It would be nice to be able to edit the actual thread title without having to open phpMyAdmin..

You can edit the Thread title any time you want - just use Thread Tools > Edit Thread > Perform Action > Edit The Title Field > Save Changes

@006: sandman already said, the threadtitle is editable in a normal vb already

@MJM: nope, it's not needed to change the IP.
The username is the important field, as a username change changes the userid of that specific post, and that will lead to that the new user can edit the post instead of the old one

Updating postcounts, would be needed, correct, thats something i will change in the next version

Great job once again Xenon


Quick question tho, as posted here : Quick Edit Hack

Ok
Im using :
- the updated set of instructions provided by Slave (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/show...63&postcount=95)
- with the slight revision to that provided by poetic (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/show...5&postcount=103)
In conjunction with :
Advanced Editing Options For Mods & Admins (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61412)

And all works fine
Except one thing

Whenever I use the quick edit, it is dropping the details of the original poster
ie
ends up being posted as guest

To get around this, I have to use the preview option, re-enter the original poster, then submit
And as you can gather, thats hardly a quick edit

Has anyone got these 2 fine hacks to play nicely together as I would really like to keep both.

TIA

Any chance you could have a look into it ?

Thanks

[Xenon]

well, that's a problem of the quick edit hack.

you have to add the additional fields from my hack into the quick edit hack.

or another way would be to post another variable when using quickedit, and then add an if condition, if this var is set, do nothing of the advanced features.

I'm sure you can figure that out

[SemperFidelis]

No not reallly
Any chance of bit more assistance ?

[Xenon]

nah, not really, as i don't know the code of the quick edit hack, and i do not have the time to install it on a testboard to find it out..

maybe someone who has installed that hack as well can assist?

[SemperFidelis]

No worries
Thanks anyway


Has anyone manged to get both these hacks working together ?

i dont see where it conflicts
- quick edit uses showthread php and functions showthread
advanced doesnt
-quickedit makes u create a new template called quickedit
and edit posbit/postbit legacy and the advanced hack doesnt
- so wheres the conflict?

plus there are no calls in the install to replace any text in advanced

i gotta step out for a bit but im gonna try and install both on a test board
im using the original quick edit in the first post with the added reason and delete fields
so if you want to try it again thats what im testing it on

this just doesnt make sense... ill update this post later tonight
