Lock Post Moderation v1.0

Description
This will allow moderators of the forums, s.mods and admins to "Lock" posts. By locking a post, the original member who posted that post is then unable to edit/delete that post (unless that member has moderation permissions).

Pointless you may think? Perhaps, but some staff want to keep posts intact after editing them for whatever reason, and instead of locking the thread, just stop the member from editing out whatever the staff member has modified/added, this can be accomplished by using this modification.

Features:
- Uses Phrases (I know!! I finally used them!! =O)
- Ability To "Lock/Unlock" Posts via "Edit Post" page.
- Error Message Returned If Post Is Locked & No Moderation Permissions Upon Trying To Edit/Delete The Post

It's a simple addition, but affective, maybe it will come in handy, who knows, screenshots below, enjoy

After installing this, any edits I make to posts do not take effect (even when unlocked) - any idea what is up?

this is useless, close post = same as lock, so what the point of use it

Close = close a thread.
Lock = "close" a post.

Helps if you read the main post:

I think this would be great for admin, to use after edit button is gone, to prevent mods from editing post.

one question, is it possible to make this a feature you can use while editing like the close thread/pin thread (where you just tick a box and it does it) instead of having to edit the post, save changes, come back to the edit screen, lock the post, save again.

you know what i mean?

i had a crack at adding this myself but failed.. if anyone wants to suggest anything (im not much of a coder)

i just simply added this to the newpost_threadmanage template.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['lockpostoption']">
            <div><label for="rb_lock_change"><input type="checkbox" name="lock_change" value="1" id="rb_lock_change" tabindex="1" $checked=[lockunlock] /><if condition="$show['lockpostoption']">$vbphrase[lock_this_message]<else />$vbphrase[lock_unlock_message]</if> $vbphrase[after_you_submit_your_message].</label>
        </div></if> 


it shows up where it should and when it should (only on the edit post screen and only to mods/admins) and shows no errors, but it dosnt actually lock the post or change to unlock it.

if anyone can fix this so it works, i would be very gratful
