Show Thread Enhancements - [OzzModz] First Post Editable Indefinitely Per Usergroup

Another mod brought to you by,


This is a small mod that will allow admins to have selected usergroups bypass Time Limit editing their first posts in a thread.

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, ozzmodz_editable_post

You can edit the options under the settings, [OzzModz] First Post Editable Indefinitely Settings

Note: This was originally done by Lynne, here First Post Editable Indefinitely but it did not have usergroup perms, and you had to edit each forum individually.

Should you want a specific usergroup to be able to edit all their posts indefinitely, use
[OzzModz] Disable Time Limit On Editing Of Posts By Usergroup

Complete Feature List

• Option to disable the mod completely.
• Option to set which usergroups this mod will affect.
• Option to select which forums this mod affects.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. Sometimes you want your users to be able to edit the first post in their thread indefinitely but still have a time limit on all other posts in the thread. This can be useful if you want your users to be able to constantly update their first thread with new information, or new releases to things way past the normal editing time limit. This modification will allow them to edit that first post indefinitely.

No it should work on all first posts.

I created a test user and tested this, it doesn't seem to enable the edit post button after the timeout of 15 minutes for the OP in the specified forums I enabled for in the settings. Seems to be the same issue civicf is having

[ozzy47]

If you could give that test user full admin privileges, and send me the info for that test user, I can try to debug it on your site.

[Grouper]

I did debugging and the issue lies with the

PHP Code:

is_member_of() 


code. It is returning false

Here is my debug code

PHP Code:

print_log('checking if active: '. $ozzmodz_editable_post['active']); 
print_log('users: ' . implode(',',$allowed_users)); 
print_log('forums: ' . implode(',',$included_forums)); 
print_log('Post uid: ' . $this->post['userid']. ' VB uid: ' . vB::$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']); 
print_log('Post id: ' . $this->post['postid'] . ' First PostID: ' . $this->thread['firstpostid']); 
print_log('Forum in array: ' . in_array($this->thread['forumid'], $included_forums)); 
print_log('is_member_of: ' . is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $allowed_users)); 


output

also not sure why it has -1 as a group as I really only have Registered Users group active right now

[ozzy47]

Ok I'll check it out on my site when I get a chance. It may be tomorrow.

[Grouper]

is there a need to have -1 in there?

[Grouper]

Fixed it

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo 


should be

PHP Code:

vB::$vbulletin->userinfo 


[ozzy47]

Hmmm, I have never used,

vB::$vbulletin->userinfo

[Grouper]

Also you need to create a new hook ajax_start and add

PHP Code:

$ozzmodz_editable_post['active'] = $vbulletin->options['ozzmodz_editable_post_active']; //Is mod active  
$allowed_users = explode(',', $vbulletin->options['ozzmodz_editable_post_groups']); //Allowed users  
$included_forums = explode(",", $vbulletin->options['ozzmodz_editable_post_forums']); //Enabled forums  

    global $threadinfo, $postinfo, $foruminfo, $vbulletin;   
      
    if (($threadinfo['firstpostid'] == $postinfo['postid']) AND ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $postinfo['userid']) AND ($ozzmodz_editable_post['active']) AND (is_member_of(vB::$vbulletin->userinfo, $allowed_users) AND in_array($forumid, $included_forums)))    
    {  
        $vbulletin->options['edittimelimit'] = 0;  
    }
