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.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

Hold on, that does not work either.

[ozzy47]

I dunno, it seems it will throw that error any time you change the Forums settings, for now it should be safe to ignore, but I will look into it some more.

[tommyxv]

Ok no problem. Thanks for checking. I have to get with Tapatalk as their app doesn't following this mods permissions. Ugh

[ozzy47]

Figures tapatalk would not work with it.

[tommyxv]

It's doesn't follow auto-merge either. Too bad so many members use it or I would get rid of it and use a clean mobile style and regain control of my forums.

I have OCD when it comes to apache errors. I got rid of all the errors I had in the past except the ones by TapaTalk... go figure. I'll wait until you figure it out. My error log is almost clear.

Thanks again for these great mods!

[ozzy47]

Yeah I been looking into it, and i have no explanation why. It happens on changing forums, or changing usergroups. The code I am using has been around forever in vB and is used by many developers. I don't know if there is a fix to get rid of them, but I will continue digging.

Well, I also had errors logged in error.log caused by TapaTalk, but made to look like they come from other mod (namely VaultWiki). I opened thread there: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/4091/

I was getting double posts, not just errors in error.log. It started immediately after I installed latest TapaTalk (5.3.1) and I downgraded to (5.2.2) after that. I don't get double posts and this error in error.log, so it definitely is something TapaTalk related.

That's the reason I believe it's not something caused with VaultWiki.

I'm writing this just so you know it maybe isn't related with your mod, but can be caused with TapaTalk, although it looks like your mod causes this.

The errors are from any mod I have that has the usergroup check boxes, or the forum selectors. But I don't think it is a issue with the mod, it's how vB handles it.

Can you change the check boxes to text field for usergroup ids or a list like the forums? If that makes the errors go away.

[ozzy47]

Possibly, but I don't think the tradeoff is worth the occasional error, that seems to be a false positive anyway.
