New Posting Features - Single Post Edit Override

This mod allows you to enable an "edit override" on individual posts, after the global edit timeout has expired.

This is useful for info/faq type posts that require constant updating, after the global edit timeout has expired.

It works by adding a single button to each post that you simply click the toggle the override status of the post in question.

This is my first vB mod and was developed and tested only on vB 3.6.1. As it's my first mod, if you find i've done something wrong or could do something better, let me know

As always, if you use this, don't forget to click the installed link

Hmmm... This might work for me, but I would like to be able to edit entire threads, not just the comments. Also, enabling this by user would be helpful in some cases.

Check out the Threadamins mod.

Installed and everything appears to work, but I get the error message:

The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 720 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message.

I think it has to do with the * 60 part in the code.

(	$this->post['dateline'] >= (TIMENOW - ($this->registry->options['edittimelimit'] * 

60)) OR
					$this->registry->options['edittimelimit'] == 0) OR
					(($this->registry->options['editoverride_enabled']) AND	($this->post['editoverride'] 

== 1)
				)
			))
		)

Sadly it looks like I won't be using this mod. After being unable to find out why it doesn't appear to bypass the set time limit (as per error message above), it was also pointed out to me that the edit button was appearing for everyone, not just the post author.

Shame as it was exactly what I was looking for too.

Ok, after changing my forum around a bit when I couldn't figure out the problem back in August, it now seems as if the mod has completely stopped working. Clicking to open up editing rights is no longer working...

Anyone know of another mod that allows me to allow users editing rights past the time setting?

What a shame, this is exactly what I need.

I want to give permission to certain posts where the user who made that post to be able to continue to edit the post and bypass the edit time limit.

Would be great if someone upgraded this to 3.7.x

I was wondering if there was a way to let moderators have access to the button instead of just admins.

[sir bitter]

Is anyone using this with 3.8?

does not work in 3.6.5

The members can't see the edit button

I would love for this mod to be continued. I would even give a donation to the person who does.
