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!

Hi Chen...

I have a little problem that I noticed after I installed your hack. Don't think it's related to it (I hope) but I found it while testing your hack and I'd like to solve it.

The problem is simple: in the CP I have both EDIT BY options checked (for users AND admin), but EDITED BY XXX IN DATE never comes up for anybody (users, mods and admins. Now with your hack the only thing that comes up is "WHY: blablabla".

Can't understand what's wrong...could you please help me?


Thanks a lot...

Parse error girl here again lol.

Okay, I'm getting a parse error in the very last line of editpost.php when I go to edit a post. The weird thing is, that I unistalled this hack, and re-uploaded my backup copy of editpost, and I'm still having the same problem. I also don't think I had ever edited it before, and edit was working fine earlier.

Any tips?



Nevermind - I jsut uplaod the original file and it's working now.
