More Functions in Edit Post if you are an Admin

Hi folks!

After my server has had problems last night, so the date was incorrect, an the posts had the dateline of October, I start programming this hack, to change a bit more of the Posting informations if you are an Admin of the board.

Now you can change
1. The Userid of this Post (don't know when, but perhaps you'll need it sometimes)
2. The Threadid of the Post (if you want to take this post to another thread)
3. Date and time postet
4. IP Address saved with the Post
5. can make post uneditable for original Author/Mods/Supermods (priority level system) or even editable to the author when timelimit is over...

If you like it Please click on install Button

vB3 Version of this hack can be found here

the offset you have to set, should be like the one you set in your vb options

Almost...
Actually I have GMT -5 for Server' time (EST) and GMT +1 for mine and almost users (CET)...
So I should make the sum of abs...

By now a fixed '6' should work great !
Thanks.

i see to correct it just add the line

$datzeit=$datzeit+4*3600;

right after

$datzeit=mktime(substr($datzeit,11,2), substr($datzeit,14,2), 0, substr($datzeit,3,2), substr($datzeit,0,2), substr($datzeit,6,4));

and change the 4 to your timeoffset.

Just a small correction... I tried myself
If my server is in a timezone 'on the left' of mine (as said, I'm on +1, the server is on -5), I should SUBTRACT 6 and not add it...

$datzeit is the time string displayed on my page, adjusted to my time... If the server time is six hours 'after' mine, I should resave the edited post with the server time...

my case: ---> $datzeit = $datzeit - 6 * 3600;

Thanks again for your help.
Bye

hey good hack

but can someone tell me the time for

Eastern Time (U.S.A.)

PM/AM Clock

What should I replace it with?

[Jawelin]

It' a RELATIVE value: where are you ?

Lookin' at vbdate() function source, I found out how to parametrize the admin's offset behind the server:

simply, the users of this hack - with your bugfix - should replace the code

PHP Code:

$datzeit=mktime(substr($datzeit,11,2), substr($datzeit,14,2), 0, substr($datzeit,3,2), substr($datzeit,0,2), substr($datzeit,6,4));
$datzeit=$datzeit+4*3600; 


PHP Code:

$datzeit=mktime(substr($datzeit,11,2), substr($datzeit,14,2), 0, substr($datzeit,3,2), substr($datzeit,0,2), substr($datzeit,6,4));
$offset=3600*($bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset']-$timeoffset);   // Seconds offset behind the server/post time
$datzeit=$datzeit-$offset;                                  // Traslated new post time 


That upgrade reverses, just before saving it, the traslation made at reading time from the post(server) time to the user time. Actually it acts as vbdate() with an inverse traslation.

This way there shouldn't be neither the import of global variables $bbuserinfo and $timeoffset, like functions.php has, as at the top of editpost.php there's a full global variables import.

That is !!
Bye

Excuse, but HOW COULD WE UNDERSTAND something different from such a question ?
:greedy:

I'm sure this may come in handy!

I was right!!!
Well.
Your server is EST (GMT -5). You are in Germany (GMT +1).
You definetively can use the hack's default $format : d.m.Y .... with all the substrings as the authod did...

Very simple, then... You have to correct the output time with a '-6 hours', just like me.
Any case, you can use along everyone the upgrade in Post#15.
