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.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

I installed this mod in VB 4.2.2, but I have a problem.
I have a set limit editing posts. After installing, the first posts still can not be edited. I have a set usergroup perms and which forums options.

Hmmm, if you pm me a admin account, I can look into it on your site.

[civicf]

I have tested it and it seems that the variables are empty. I mean postinfo['userid'] and $postinfo['postid'].
I don't know why.

[ozzy47]

Neither do I, that is why I would need to test it out on your site as I can't replicate the issue.

This is exactly what I needed! Of course you customized it for my needs and I thank you for taking the time to make this so I didn't have too!

A feature that would be great is the ability to assign user groups per forum. I could see the need for some forums to need to allow some user groups while other forums need to disable the other user group but enable a different user group.

That would be quite a bit trickier, would require some recoding I believe.

Is this supposed to work on threads started before this plugin was installed? I'm looking at the code and don't see why it wouldn't work, but my users are saying it is only working on new threads started after this was installed.
