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

Had a little problem with another hack but I managed to fix it. I fyou have the quick edit hack installed and tried to quick edit a post, all the options get reset like IP, userid and name, the date and so on.

If anyone else has this problem heres a quick fix, in the template "showthread_quickedit" find:

  <form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="vbulletinform" style="display:inline;" action="editpost.php" method="post">

and add under it:

  <input type="hidden" name="quickedit" value="true" />

Then find in editpost.php:

PHP Code:

  if ($_POST['do'] == 'updatepost' AND  $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] > $editlevel['author']) 


and change it to:

PHP Code:

  if ($_POST['do'] == 'updatepost' AND  $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] > $editlevel['author'] AND !$_POST['quickedit']) 


and that should solve that problem.

Also I notice a small problem with this hack, if you change the user of the post, the original poster count doesn't decrese and the new user post count doesn't increase so you would have to update the counters to get them accurate again. Other then that, its a good hack.

Might this have some relation to the issue I was mentioning about the info being lost if SuperMods edit a post ?

@Sly: hmm, a lint to that post

As for the postcount, yes i know, will have to add that in my next update (when i find the time to add what i want to add ^^)

Didn't notice that post.

I made some changes to your hack that fixed up a couple things, one is corectly setting the users pos count and the other is updating the forum last poster and first poster info if you change the user.

After you install this hack, find:

PHP Code:

        // now do changes to thread, if logged in user is an admin and changed the dateline
            if ($bbuserinfo['editlevel'] == $editlevel['admin'] AND
                $postinfo['dateline'] != $newpost['dateline'])
            {
                require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');
                build_thread_counters($postinfo['threadid']);
            } 


Replace it with:

PHP Code:

        //------------------------------------------------------------
        if($postinfo['userid']!=$newpost['userid'] && $foruminfo['countposts'])
        {
          if ($postinfo['userid'] > 0)
          {
            $DB_site->query("
                  UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
                    SET  posts=posts-1
                 WHERE userid = $postinfo[userid]
                ");
          }
          if ($newpost[userid] > 0)
          {
            $DB_site->query("
                UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
                SET  posts=posts+1
                  WHERE userid = $newpost[userid]
              ");
          }
        }
        //------------------------------------------------------------
    
        // now do changes to thread, if logged in user is an admin and changed the dateline
            if ($bbuserinfo['editlevel'] == $editlevel['admin'] AND
                $postinfo['dateline'] != $newpost['dateline'] OR
                $postinfo['userid']!=$newpost['userid'])
            {
                require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');
                build_thread_counters($postinfo['threadid']);
            } 


Now in includes/function_datastore.php find:

PHP Code:

    // ###################### Start updatethreadcount #######################
    function build_thread_counters($threadid)
    {
        global $DB_site, $threadcache; 


and change it to:

PHP Code:

    // ###################### Start updatethreadcount #######################
    function build_thread_counters($threadid)
    {
        global $DB_site, $threadcache, $vbphrase; 


Now a little ways under that find:

PHP Code:

    $lastposter = iif(empty($lastposts['username']), $lastposts['postuser'], $lastposts['username']); 


under it add:

PHP Code:

    $lastposter = iif(empty($lastposter),$vbphrase['guest'],$lastposter); 


Now a little ways under that find:

PHP Code:

    $firstposter = iif(empty($firstposts['username']), $firstposts['postuser'], $firstposts['username']); 


and under it add:

PHP Code:

    $firstposter = iif(empty($firstposter),$vbphrase['guest'],$firstposter); 


Thats all, now the posts will show Guest instead of nothing when you enter in a blank field. Also it will now update the post count of those who you change the post to and from.

Thx for sharing your changes

i might add, that your code for the postcounts isn't correct 100%
if you have forums where post's aren't counted, then of course you would not have to change the postcount

but i'm sure a lot can use this, until i can come up with the next version (which hopefully has all of that implemented and the special additions i want to have )

Thanks for bringing that to me attention, fixed it by adding:
&& $foruminfo['countposts']
To the If statement.

The only problem now is updating the user's usertitle if they gain/lose enough posts for a different one.

[Xenon]

now you see why i didn't add that things to the first version of my hack

[Casparian]

If you edit the date, does it bump the post up the list/to the top? Or is it just whats displayed when the post is viewed?

[Xenon]

it does bump the post up/down the list (in linear mode)
in threaded mode it just changes the displayed time

[Ocean]

Hi, Xenon! I was wondering if you had any ideas as to when you'll be releasing the next version of this hack?

[Xenon]

unfortunatelly not.
I'm currently totally overworked with other things, but i will at some day.

I expect when i'm back at university *gg*
