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

I'd like JUST the time/date stamp change part. Also, is there an English version?

[Xenon]

Thers no english version, but it isnt hard to make the changes into the english date-time format

just the date/time change
you must change following things in my Hack:

don't use Step 1.4

in step 1.5
change

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET ipaddress='".addslashes($ipadd)."',dateline='$datzeit',userid='$userid',threadid='$pthreadid',title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."',pagetext='".addslashes($message)."',allowsmilie='$allowsmilie',showsignature='$signature',iconid='$iconid'$editedbysql$attachmentsql WHERE postid='$postid'"); 


to

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET dateline='$datzeit',title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."',pagetext='".addslashes($message)."',allowsmilie='$allowsmilie',showsignature='$signature',iconid='$iconid'$editedbysql$attachmentsql WHERE postid='$postid'"); 


and the admineditpost template has only this part:

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" nowrap><normalfont><b>Date and Time:</b></normalfont></td>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><input type="text" class="bginput" name="datzeit" value="$datzeit" size="40" maxlength="85"></normalfont></td>
</tr> 


for englisch time format you have to change

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

into

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

i think and of course the line
$datzeit=vbdate("d.m.Y H:i",$postinfo[dateline]);
into
$datzeit=vbdate("m-d-Y H:i",$postinfo[dateline]);

this should be all you need i think

[SirSteve]

Thanks!

[Logician]

Nice hacks thanks

A reminder to people who use this hack: If you edit user id or thread id, dont forget to update the counters.

Has anyone tried this in 2.2.5 and gotten it to work?

I've installed it and everything looks right, but when I try to edit the time... nothing happens. No change in the post at all.

Any thoughts?

[JBMoney]

Nevermind, I think I see a pattern.

I just installed this hack. It was easy to install and answered my prayers [link]

[Xenon]

you're welcome

Ok, guys, I'm totally confused here. I'm one of them dumb Americans (although I do have some German Ancestory.)

Xenon: Why don't we use Step 1.4 if we are in the USA?

Jawelin: If my server is in the UK and I am in the USA, you offset fix will automatically set the time at my offset according to what I have in my time options, right? So i don't have to manually set it?

Sorry for the questions guys, but I want to make sure I get it right before I mess anything up.

[Xenon]

you have missunderstood something boofo: the don't use 1.4 was for SirSteve because he just wanted to add the datetime functions and nothing else

th only thing you have to change as an american user are these lines:

PHP Code:

$datzeit=vbdate("d.m.Y H:i",$postinfo[dateline]); 


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)); 


it's because you use other date/time formats as we do in german
