[Solved] Force Reason in Last edited
Hi!
Many users in my forum make edits to there posts, they don't write the reason for editing. Is there a way to force them to fill the field with reason. I don't know or remember if i am missing something here. Thanks in advanced. |

Edit the code or add a plugin that checks if the reason field is set should do it me thinks.
If you ask nicely Master MarkFL will help with a small plugin me guess |

Hello, Stratis...first please check to see if this product works for you:

Thanks guys for the answers...
Hi Mark, i tested the mod, it has some issues though that makes it not reliable. 1st) if i press advance edit error comes up "An error has occurred! You must enter the reason as to why you are editing your post." This error not supposed to show at this time... 2nd) There is a description that says "Optional" problem if they read it. Did not check for further tests. Thank you... |

Okay Stratis, please give the attached product a try and let me know what you think.
There are 2 phrases: The first one is what displays under the edit reason field, and the second one is the message shown to users who try to submit an edit without giving a reason. In the product settings, you can enable/disable the product (you will have to initially enable it), and you can select usergroups who will be exempt from having to give a reason for editing posts. |

Very kind of you Mark to make this possible.
It works with some little issue, in quick edit error message does not appear when saved button is pressed. It appears only in advance edit. (in all browsers). * If you public this mod, it would be very nice if it has an option to put how many minimum characters (words) to accept. Some of the users i am sure they will put a dot or coma or what else Thank you very much. |

As far as forcing users to give a valid reason, what would stop users from typing something like "edit reason here" or "xxx yyy zzz"? |

* Mark do you mean this as tooltip?
Attachment 155106 I see only this... and save does not take effect if field with reason is empty. * I think if they bother to write more than 5 characters they will consider to write "update" or what else Just informing you. Thank you very much |

I thought that you see something else...
Now that you mentioned I see the tooltip, something that in all tests my eyes did not fall on, because I was watching editor with the post and the Required field. I will write in the phrase "Required" and the tooltips phrases. Hope this will be ok, and not users keep trying to save it. Thank you for your support helping me. |
