How to allow users to edit their posts for limited time after posting?

No, but maybe this will work:

if (isset($foruminfo))
{  
    global $vbulletin, $foruminfo;
    $edittimes =array(c1=>t1, c2=>t2...);
    $parents = array_intersect(explode(',',$foruminfo['parentlist']), array_keys($edittimes));
    if (($parent = reset($parents)) !== FALSE)
    {
        $vbulletin->options['edittimelimit'] = $edittimes[$parent];
    }  
}

where you'd change c1, c2, etc to the category ids, and t1, t2, etc to the corresponding times in minutes.

I haven't test it except to see that there aren't any typos. I changed the 'if' condition because it looks like edittimelimit is used in some other places.
