View Post Edits v0.01 BETA · **Released**: 02-14-2005

The final release will be posted after a few weeks of discussion here and any tweaks need to be made.

Screenshots are attached.

Overview:
---------

Quote:

This modification will allow viewing of all post edits. It does this
by taking the posts that are edited and appending the original to the
end of the post. This original post is enclosed in new BBCode [EDIT]
and [/EDIT] tags. When this tag is found, the contents are displayed
as a previous edit and is marked as such. This is controlled by user
group. If you would like certain members or groups to have access to
view these edits, simply add this user permission. If a user enters
the new BBCode in any message, the brackets are converted to their
numerical code value thus preventing them from interfering with the
modification.

// ************************************************** ********************
// ************************************************** ********************

Notes:
------

Quote:

- Previous edits are stamped with the time and date as well as who
made the post edit.
- When no reason is given for a post edit, it is automatically set
to "No reason given."
- Usergroup based permissions.
- One added query each time a post edit is submitted or previewed.
- Includes instructions for vBAdvanced CPMS news, however if other
modules/portals/hacks are used to read post data, they will need
to be modified to prevent the displaying of post edits.
- Collapsable tables conserve screen real-estate so only the post
edits you wish to see can be displayed. Scrolling is implemented
to conserve even more space.
- Uses phrases for easy language conversion.
- Uses templates for easy customization.
- Images included in the previous edits will not count toward the
total image count for the post. This should be remembered for
those with users that like to post a lot of images and they edit
those messages with any kind of frequency.

Freezerator · #22 02-24-2005, 08:45 AM

I going to uninstall this hack, because when you upgrade, you will see all previous edits in the postings... unless you reinstall the hack again. I think it can be better done if you take the old post, and insert it in a table seperate, instead of "hiding" it in the current post by HTML.

rjordan · #23 02-24-2005, 09:24 AM

This is true. I am already looking into altering it so edits are kept in another post field as well as acting on a couple other suggestions.

Take care and I will be back soon with an updated version! Thanks for your input guys!

lamilein · #24 05-21-2005, 04:47 PM

hi there

can't wait for the new version, any status update yet?

rjordan · #25 05-21-2005, 07:43 PM

Two jobs and two kids have not permitted me time to work on this. It is still there, just have not done any more with it. I will be tackling it, but not in the next month or so. I will post when I have it down. Right now, I am getting the arcade game download site together and will come to this afterwards.

Does this work for vB 3.0.7? I assume that it does? Also, if I install it now, can I use it to see previous edits that happened a week ago? Or is it too late for that? Thanks!

rjordan · #27 05-22-2005, 08:27 PM

I wrote it off of 3.0.3 but do not see why it would not work on 3.0.7. It will not recover any edits done before it has been installed. It has been pointed out that this can be a pain if you decide to remove it later because all edits made in the past will be shown if you do so. The new model I have will not have that problem.

** This is not supported and I cannot give any troubleshooting assistance with this **

With the announcement of 3.5, I may not rewrite this until 3.5 is released. If the 3.5 official release (non-beta and non-RC) is not until October or something like that, I probably will release the updated version after testing it and after I finish the arcade game download project. Just a FYI.

-=Sniper=- · #28 06-07-2005, 11:26 PM

hey rjordan

I think this would be an excellent addition to vb, just wondering since you can quick edit posts in vb 3.5 using ajax, would this still be possible?

rjordan · #29 06-08-2005, 01:04 AM

I cannot be 100% without seeing the code. A lot of this will be new to me but should be very do-able. I am going to wait until 3.5 beta is released and will START to work on it, but will not release anything until after gold is released and then after a lot of testing with the new programming design of vB.

Trust me, I would love to see this as quickly as possible, but I want to make sure I do it in the manner it should have been in the first place. It has not been forgotten, just waiting for 3.5.

lamilein · #30 07-20-2005, 06:02 PM

thanks for this wonderfull hack rjordan,

my project staff will love this one as we have to edit posts quite often, thanks for all the time and effort you put in so far. really looking forward to see this hack on 3.5 - while talking about 3.5, i assume the new version will support the edits that were made with 0.01BETA so the problem described here does not occour (?)

i know you do not officially support this beta anymore and will concentrate on your other projects, but maybe you could tell me whether or not the display of the edits in another form than pure html code is possible without activating the HTML-code feature for comments in the forum. i wouldn't like to activate HTML comments in my public forums

rjordan · #31 07-20-2005, 08:43 PM

This version will not be supported in the 3.5 version. vBulletin is looking to make this a standard feature. If no word on that is given, I will get this rewritten. Post edits will be stored in the database in the same form posted originally. vB will strip HTML per your settings when done.

Again, if I get word from vB that it will be a feature in gold, I will not be rewriting this. I have not forgotten this. Just waiting.
