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

Realy it is a great hack, I was searching for such one from ages, and good I found it before I request one.

But I have very simple questions :

Can I limit the permission of using this hack to only "SUPER ADMINISTRATORS" which are specified in config.php ?

And can I also give this permission to certain users by their user id ?

[akanevsky]

Yes.

IN editpost.php, REPLACE

PHP Code:

// calculate user's editlevel
if (in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $superadministrators, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) 
    OR $bbuserinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL)
{
    $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] = $editlevel['admin'];
}
else if ($bbuserinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & ISMODERATOR)
{
    $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] = $editlevel['smod'];
}
else if (can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'caneditposts'))
{
    $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] = $editlevel['mod'];
}
else if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == $postinfo['userid'])
{
    $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] = $editlevel['author'];
}
else
{
    // someone else is trying to edit this post, permission check will be set up later by originalvb
    // maybe it's a mod just having delete permissions..
    $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] = $editlevel['author'];
} 


WITH

PHP Code:

// calculate user's editlevel
if (in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $superadministrators, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) OR $bbuserinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL)
{
    $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] = $editlevel['admin'];
}
else
{
    $bbuserinfo['editlevel'] = $editlevel['author'];
}

Done, but with no effect ! Adminstrators still have the permission to use these advanced options when they edit a post. But I don't want them to have this permission or even see these options. Only Super Adminstrator should have the permission.

remove the

OR $bbuserinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL

as well

[Space Goat]

nevermind, I figured out what was wrong

Heyy Friends,

I have instaled this hack but I can not see it while the editing post.
There is not any table " Advanced Editing Options".
I am using vb 3.0.8.is it a problem?
I have made every thing correctly 2 times but everythin is same.
I have run sql,edited editpost.php,created new template,edited editpost template,but there is not any conlution.

[Xenon]

it shouldn't be a problem, there were not much changes in vb308
it should work.

[ben_erhan]

but it does not work.
I did every detail very cafeful,but there is not ant conclution

[MThornback]

Xenon, just so your aware....I edited your hack a BIT for my board to remove the IP editing ability...it was no good for the boards I run....hope there is no issue
