More Functions in Edit Post if you are an Admin

Hi folks!

After my server has had problems last night, so the date was incorrect, an the posts had the dateline of October, I start programming this hack, to change a bit more of the Posting informations if you are an Admin of the board.

Now you can change
1. The Userid of this Post (don't know when, but perhaps you'll need it sometimes)
2. The Threadid of the Post (if you want to take this post to another thread)
3. Date and time postet
4. IP Address saved with the Post
5. can make post uneditable for original Author/Mods/Supermods (priority level system) or even editable to the author when timelimit is over...

If you like it Please click on install Button

vB3 Version of this hack can be found here

I've seen them used both ways. They do that alot with on-line quizzes and surveys.

But isnt the point of Radio buttons to select one or the other?

Boofo: i won't include that, because i think such wishes are personall wishes not used by many others, but i can tell you how to do it k?

template admineditpost
after

| <input type="radio" name="editable" $editable[0] value="0">Admins

add this:

| <input type="radio" name="editable" $editable[4] value="4">Author/Supermods/Admins

then in editpost.php
find:

PHP Code:

} else if($postinfo[editable]==2 and !ismoderator($threadinfo[forumid],"caneditposts")) {
  $editpriority="Moderator/Supermod/Admin";
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_editpriority")."\");");
  exit;
} 


add this clause after the }:

PHP Code:

 else if($postinfo[editable]==4 and $postinfo[userid]!=$bbuserinfo[userid] and $getperms[cancontrolpanel]!=1 and  $getperms[ismoderator]!=1) {
  $editpriority="Author/Supermod/Admin";
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_editpriority")."\");");
  exit;
} 


then replace in this line:

PHP Code:

  for($i=0;$i<4;$i++) $editable[$i]=iif($postinfo[editable]==$i,"CHECKED",""); 


the $i<4 with $i<5

that should do the trick



hmm, ip-decoding?
i'll see what i can do, i have no idea how that works, i'll look into it

[Xenon]

have to say i found a very small bug.
It just occurs if you allow guest posting...

to correct it replace this line:

PHP Code:

  if (!isset($userid) or $userid=="" or $userid==0) { 


with this one:

PHP Code:

  if ((!isset($userid) or $userid=="" or $userid==0) and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 and $postinfo[userid]!=0) { 


Also i'm thinking of a funny enhancement: Make a Post editable by all Members and make it editable by guests *gg*
Editable by all members could perhaps be usefull for clanboards in a announcement thread or something like that, the other ist just to play jokes on users

are there some feature you want have included in this hack?
because i think this was the final version all other things aren't needet anymore?

[Boofo]

That could be kindof dangerous on a board, even as a joke. I like the hack just the way it is now.

I think that would be funny lol, but dangerous as Boofo said...

I can just think of one more thing :

Edit the user's Signature, and save it as their signature (either for that post, or throughout the site)

Thank you, sir. That's why I like installing your hacks, you're one of the few authors who will go that extra mile to make your hacks personalized. Great job!

Boofo: i won't include that, because i think such wishes are personall wishes not used by many others, but i can tell you how to do it k?

[Chris M]

Yep!

I installed it too!

Must have more hacks...Must have more hacks...

[Xenon]

satan you're addictive to hack right?

@boofo: you're welcome

ok then that was the final version i think
@satan: hmm, that wouldn't affect the post-table but the usertable, so i think it shouldn't be in the editpost.php

[Boofo]

Xenon,

You're going to strangle me here in a minute, but it seems that no matter which radio button I pick now, it gets set at the Admin radio button for editing after I re-save the message. I followed your instruction on the add-on and double-checked everything. Sorry.

[Xenon]

[high]* Xenon strangles boofo
[/high]

you were right, i made a little mistake in the template change i told you.

recheck it now, i've edited it
you must replace one little 0 with a 4
