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

Ok, I put 1.4 part back in. But what does this mean?

$userid=0;
$username="Gast";

And what about Jawelin's auto date part? Will that work for me?

[Xenon]

in english you have to change "Gast" to "guest"
because you can change the Authorid of the post, and when you choose 0, it must have a new Username, i took guest

yes Jawelin's auto date part should work for ya

[Boofo]

Thank you very much. I just installed it and think I will leave the name as "Gast". That way I can have more of a German flair to the site (think that will work? ). Thanks again!

I ran into a major problem here. This is the date I got on a message I edited that I had just added a few minutes before.

Dec 31, 1969, 11:59 pm

Any ideas where I went wrong?

[Xenon]

hehe intresting idea to get a german flair in it ^^

huh before 1970? very funny
can you paste the two line of your editpost.php which handles the dates, so perhaps i can tell you whats wrong

[Boofo]

I hope these are the lines you wanted.

PHP Code:

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


[Xenon]

seems to be correct

can you also print your exact time-format?
i mean how does this line look in your format:

PHP Code:

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


[high]* Xenon is thinking of writing a new version easier to optimize [/high]

[Boofo]

I just changed it to match the time layout I use on the board. Here it is:

PHP Code:

$datzeit=vbdate("M j, Y, g:i a",$postinfo[dateline]);

Ok, there's the problem
by now you can just use numeric time/date formats
so for Time you must use something like H:i instead of g:i a
and some sort of d.m.Y instead of M j, Y.
it must be sure the ammount of bytes in the timestring can't change with another date ....
its the way mktime() works...

[Boofo]

So, what should I put in there then? And can it be fixed to work with the date like I have it?
