Post Edit History (PEH) Alternate Postbit Layout

This is simply an alternative to Survivors layout for adding the PEH display within the postbit template....anyone whos seen my few additions here knows I don't do much fancy mostly just what I find useful and think others might too....

What this does:
If no edit exists for the post, it will hide the link, and when an edit is made the link will show up...simple yes?

Instructions(from PEH):

In postbit Find:

$post[posts]

or

In postbit_legacy find:

<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount$post[postid]" name="$post[postcount]"><strong>$post[postcount]</strong></a></if>

Add Underneath:

<if condition="$post[editcount]==0">
&nbsp;
<else />
<if condition="$show['edithistorylink'] AND $post[editcount] > '0'">
<a href="edithistory.php?do=viewedithistory&postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1=$post[editcount]>$vbphrase[saved_edits]</phrase></a>
</if>
</if>

If you use it please click install...it shouldn't need much support...but I'll answer questions as they pop up.....screenshots shouldn't be necessary if its working you'll see the link only on edited posts

Send me your postbit as it looks now....without the edits....its probably easier for both of us

I'll send you off a copy of "postbit"....

Did you want me to put the edits back in ( I emoved them when I uninstalled), or just send you "postbit" before I edited for this mod?

Thanks for your help... :up:

Got it, and you have it back again and it should work fine

Ok, got it working.... :up:

I had to remove the hack from postbit and put it ONLY in postbit_legacy...

For whatever reason, that kick started it and it's now working. I like the elegance of the way you've approached it. No edit.. no show save history link... nice..

Thanks for your help...

Glad I could help...I guess knowing which postbit style you used might have been the question for me to ask eh?

[David Lama]

does this also work for 3.6.5?

Its not working for me. so i guess no

[dutchbb]

Hello David, yes it does. But you first have to install this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132708

[MThornback]

It will only show up once an edit to a post is made david, otherwise it keeps it from cluttering your postbit

Can anyone view the history of the post or just admin/mods?

This if statement:

<if condition="$show['edithistorylink'] AND $post[editcount] > '0'">

uses the information you enter in the usergroup settings....if you only allow the admin usergroup...only they'll be able to use it....if thats not how you have it setup...

add:

AND $post['usergroupid'] == 6

after

==0

If that isn't clear...let me know

Hi Mike ....

Edithistory v1.2.5 has been released....

Can I install it as surviver describes, but simply leave your template edits in-place? I hate to tinker with anything unless I have to.

He says that he now doesn't show link unless there's an edit, so should I out his template edits over yours, or would the result be academic as both do the same thing anyway?

Badger
