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

well it conflicts, that the quickedit send to editpost.php as well, but doesn't fill the admin edit fields as well, so all those are considered as empty...

but if the quick edit is disabled from being used by admin... since theres no need for it with this hack.... by applying this in the postbit/postbit_legacy

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=7"> 
$quickedit 
</if>

than there shouldnt be a problem no?? i mean since this hack is for admins and mods than there shouldnt be any problems with the two together no??(im probably just talkin outta my a$s :lick: )

[sketch42]

this is for those that have the quick edit hack installed

ok i got it to work .... somewhat... i just need one more step

this is what i did so far....

i have this code in the showthread_quickedit

                        <span id="quickedit_$post[postid]">
                                <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickedit_icon.gif" alt="Quick Edit" border="0" />
                                <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("quickedit_$post[postid]", true); </script>

and i get (see thumbnail for details) the advanced edit screen in the quick edit but the fields in the advanced edit are blank... as well as the dropdown

im not sure what i have left to add... any suggestions?

[Xenon]

well, to see the correct infos, they have to be prepared/parsed before.

so you better use a different way:

in MY hack find:

PHP Code:

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


and replace with:

PHP Code:

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


then in the quickedit formular add:

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

using that way, there shouldn't be problems anymore.
but it means the special edit options can just be used in real edit, not quick edit

[MJM]

This has been working great! Can't thank you enough.
Couple things....
If the day/month boxes could be a little bigger to show the 2 numbers...
They only show one number each, and when making date changes it's a bit of a pain.

Any way username changes can be made in calendar of event?

Thanks, thanks and thanks again,
Mark

[Xenon]

hmm, they show two numbers for me.
seems to be browser related, or maybe font relatad.

just change the sizevalue in the template:

<input type="text" name="newday" value="$posttime[mday]" size="1" maxlength="2" id="tb_dateline_day" />.

hmm, would be a different hack for calendar events i fear

[MJM]

Using IO on a Mac, maybe thats why
...will pass this on to my partner
Thanks
Mark
No problems about the calendar/username change.

We now post calendar events under pseudonym `EventsDesk' and wanted to change our personal username entries, which we can by deleting, then re-entering info under new username, as the date of entry is irrelevant.

The only thing we can't do is change the name to another member username, but we'll just have the member re-enter the info.

Anyone try installing this on 3.0.3 yet?

[Xenon]

actually not, but it should work with 3.0.3 as well, there weren'T in deep changes in editpost.php

[Slynderdale]

Nice hack, just wanted to mention that it installed fine on vBulletin 3.0.3.
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.
