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.

I appreciate the help, I will have to look into why it's needed.

Any update on this?

[ozzy47]

No I have been busy debugging other things, but it is working for you with the edits you did correct?

[Grouper]

Yep, if you want I can do an export of my changes and post them for anyone else having issues.

Nah they are here in the thread, as soon as I get a chance I will update the mod, possibly Saturday.

I'm a little unsure if I need this one over the one I'm using right now from Lynn. I just like Ozzy's Mods I guess.

I allow the first post to be editable forever in vendor forums and only vendors can create threads in their forums.

I also allow the Group-Buy forum to have it's first post edited forever by any thread starter.

[ozzy47]

Yeah Lynne's is fine, it just did not have usergroup perms, and you had to set each forum individually. This mod you don't.

[tommyxv]

Having an issue with this. A member reported that he had the edit post button but when he clicked it, it gave him x amount of minutes have passed error. His usergroup and that forum were selected in the options.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just re-read this thread. I see the issue has been reported already. I'll switch back to the other one until this is updated. Nice being able to see the forums you have it set for all on one page. Great Mod!

Can you provide step by step instructions to reproduce this, so I can try and replicate it on my site.

It's the same issue that Lynn's mod had but she fixed it with a new plugin. For version 4.1.12 and above.
