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

Do you guys have that aet here? If you do, what is it set at? What would be a good round number to set it at? Just curious.

And you are probably right on the code. We didn't test it for image limits, at least the messages we tested it on didn't give us the too many images error. But the rest of it worked fine.

[Xenon]

yeah the rest was fine, but if i fix something, it should be fixed as well as possible

as for image limit: hmm, it's 100 i think.
no real limit, it was just set up to prevent an old vb2 bug

Thank you, sir.

I never know what to set those kinds of things at. I had it set at 10.

I don't see this in editpost.php

// ############################### start permissions checking ###############################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'editpost')
{

I do however see this

// ############################### start edit post ###############################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'editpost')
{

I'm using vB3.0.0 (Gold)

seems the comments were wrong in the old vb3 versions.

just refere to the request line, it's unique so, you can make the modifications on the place you found

I installed the hack per the instructions and everything went fine. I did need to add my table prefix. When I try to use the advanced editing options, however, I get:

mysql error: Unknown table 'user' in field list

What did I do wrong?

[Xenon]

oops, sorry that was my fault.

find that code:

PHP Code:

            $checkuser = $DB_site->query_first("
                SELECT user.userid
                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
                WHERE username = '$newpost[username]'
            "); 


and remove the user. in front of userid then it should work

Is that because he is using a table prefix? Cause it has always worked fine for me and I don't use a prefix. Or do we need to change it, too?

[Xenon]

it's just because of his table_prefix
