Reason for post edit

I won't talk too much, it's been a very very long day.

This hacks lets your users specify the reason for editing their post.
If you ever worked with CVS (and alike), you can write the reason you edited the file.
I thought it'd be cool to have the same thing here.

So when you edit a post, you'll see a text box at the bottom, for you to enter the reason for editing the post.
That's instead of the ridiculous:
Just fixing a type --Chen.
messages at the bottom of the post.
If you leave the box empty, nothing will be displayed.

This is installed here, so if you want a demo just edit one of your posts here.
(don't forget to wait 2 minutes before editing, that's the setting here)

Download the installed (attached), upload to your admin folder and run from your browser.
Most is automatic, but you need to edit 2 files and 2 templates (1 edit each).

That's it, feedback!

Changes to
postbit template (1)

postbit template

Step 1 of 1 FIND:


$post[editedby]

AFTER that ADD
<br>$post[editedreason]


Now where are these template or postbit template files . This is probely a stupid question b/c I bet it's right under my nose but I never did a vB hack yet and this would be my first one so I'm just wondering where the heck this is. All help apprecaited, thanks!

I really hate to double post but I just wanted to say a friend of mine showed me where the templates were and that i had to click show all. I knew it was right under my nose ...anyways it's install now. and awesome hack!

[Nupraptor]

I installed this hack.. but for some reason..
my posts do not say
"Edited By"

anymore

I made sure that this was enabled in the admin panel.. so it should appear like before..

Any clues?

Maybe you deleted a code segment that had to do with that or maybe you deleted something in a template. I dunno just a thought on what might've happened.

[SgtSling]

Ok I found out why!

Something is messed up in my functions.php!

The "edited by"
won't show when I make the new changes in it.

anyone see anything the matter with this?

I am including the chunk on code before and after on my functions.php

if ($post[edituserid]!=0) {
if ($post['edituserid']!=$post['userid']) {
$edituser=getuserinfo($post[edituserid]);
} else {
$edituser = $post;
}
$post[edittime]=vbdate($timeformat,$post[editdate]);
$post[editdate]=vbdate($dateformat,$post[editdate]);

// Edit Reason (v1.0)
if ($post[editreason]!='') {
eval("\$post[editedreason] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_editedreason")."\";");
} else {
$post[editedreason]='';
}
// Edit Reason (v1.0)

} else {
$post[editedby]="";
}

if ($post[dateline]>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]) {
$post[foldericon]="<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/posticonnew.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"New Post\">";
} else {
$post[foldericon]="<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/posticon.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Old Post\">";
}
if (!$forum[allowicons] or $post[iconid]==0) {
if ($showdeficon) {
$post[icon]='<img src="{imagesfolder}/icons/icon1.gif" border="0" alt="">';
